abstract = {Cities are increasingly making accommodations for increasing bicycle use as one of the smart city strategies on mobility planning. Our study addresses the use of mobile applications (apps) to incentivize the increased use of cycling for commuting to work/study, we conducted a survey to identify trends and gaps in smart mobility research, especially on urban cycling promotion through mobile devices and games supported by geospatial analysis. The analysis of 140 publications, provided insights from the smart mobility concept like the constant support of mobile devices and location-based services on this research field as well as a strong bias towards experiments and a few theoretical reviews, the frequent use of intrinsic motivation when designing games, and customised platforms for experimenting instead of commercial applications. Finally, the lack of integration between game narratives and the capabilities of geospatial analysis is considered the biggest research challenge for game designers and smart city advocates.},

abstract = {The natural and built environment has an impact on the amount of daily physical activity that people do, being less than the minimum recommended by international organizations. However, some characteristics of the environment may incentive physical activity more than others. While technological advances in geospatial information can be regarded as powerful enablers to identify and analyse these main features of the built environment, there is still a large gap between health-related professionals and the proper use of such technologies to address the prevalence of physical inactivity. This paper presents the research plan being conducted for a doctoral thesis with two major objectives: to identify a Playability Index that gives insights about how friendly is a city from the perspective of physical activity, and to develop a technological framework that eases the development of software-driven, effective interventions for promoting physical activity for young people in urban areas.},

abstract = {NavApps es un juego móvil que forma parte de unas herramientas IT desarrolladas en el contexto del proyecto fundado por la UE llamado ENAbLE, las cuales se centran en fomentar la alfabetización espacial en estudiantes de la ESO. NavApps es un juego para esconder y encontrar tesoros que fomenta la mejora de la orientación espacial, la interpretación del mapa y las habilidades del razonamiento espacial, también proporciona herramientas entrenar otras habilidades (por ejemplo, habilidades matemáticas)

El juego consiste en 4 fases. La primera, fase de mapeo, en la cual los estudiantes indican los límites exterior e interior de sus escuelas. Con este propósito, NavApps ofrece un mapa base con una aplicación web, dónde los estudiantes ven imágenes satélite de sus colegios y son capaces de indicar los límites de sus escuelas, sus edificios, plantas y clases dibujadas con polígonos simples. La segunda fase de mapeo WIFI, los estudiantes capturan la señal WIFI de localizaciones específicas en la escuela, sobre las cuales se basará NavApps para ofrecer la localización indoor en las siguientes fases. En la tercera fase, añadir tesoros, los alumnos introducen tesoros aleatoriamente o en localizaciones específicas dentro de los límites de los colegios e indican una serie de pistas y características que servirán para encontrarlos. Finalmente, en la cuarta fase buscando tesoros, los estudiantes juegan a encontrar los tesoros añadidos por otros. Se usarán diferentes técnicas para guiar a los estudiantes hacia los tesoros, por ejemplo, basándose en la descripción textual o basándose en la localización indoor o en alertas de geo-fencing, etc…

Durante el juego, se usará un sistema de puntuación para implicar a los estudiantes, recompensándolos con puntos por cada tarea que se complete satisfactoriamente, y dotando al juego de un ranking de puntuaciones.},
