Exploring spatio-temporal patterns of OpenStreetMap (OSM) contributions in heterogeneous urban areas

The potential of intrinsic parameters to estimate geospatial data quality on Voluntary Geographic Information (VGI) platforms is a recurrent theme in Cartography. spatial-temporal distribution these very heterogeneous, depending several factors such as input availability, number, and motivation volunteers, especially developing countries. most recent approaches have been aiming detail temporal patterns an additional measure VGI. This research proposes methodology identify analyze the behavior contribution over time (2007-2022) OSM platform differentiates influences that affect its growth. Part Metropolitan region Curitiba was study area, subdivided into 1 x km cells. cumulative growth contributions calculated later adjusted using Logistic Regression. obtained made it possible abruptly growing cells caused by external import, mass contributions, or collective mapping activities. In addition, heterogeneity available evident. Furthermore, proposed promoted investigation new indicator based modelling spatiotemporal evolution feature insertions.
