Behavior monitoring and behavioral exchange: an approach from geospatial technologies involving gamification techniques

Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Geospatial Technologies.

In the last years the concerns about ecologic problems derived from human activities and CO2 emissions have increased, leading population to a rising awareness on green behavior. This paper discusses an approach to the evaluation and exchange of the green behavior of a community from the viewpoint of a project in the frame of smart cities, where the flow of information among the members of the community becomes a basic part of decision making. This approach is developed from a perspective based on mobile technologies, with the application of gamification techniques in order to get the community involved in the process of data acquisition, and with the final goal of making possible a behavioral exchange of the members of the community.
