Beyond Access: Contextualizing the Benefits of Broadband through Contributor Dynamics on Wikipedia

Broadband infrastructure is often assumed to reduce informational disparities by expanding access to digital platforms. Yet less is understood about how broadband shapes participation in peer production communities, where knowledge is collectively created and maintained. Using spatial regression models, we examine how…

The Effect of Population Density on Remote Humanitarian Mapping Activities: A Triple-Difference Analysis

The proliferation of OpenStreetMap (OSM) as a collaborative geographic dataset has been instrumental in addressing data gaps globally. However, disparities in map coverage persist, particularly in economically disadvantaged and disaster-prone regions. The emergence of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) in 2010…

Beyond “Geo” HCI: Exploring Cultural Dimensions of Disparity in OpenStreetMap Road Safety Metadata

Peer production systems like OpenStreetMap exhibit well-known information gaps along socioeconomic and population density lines, causing issues for end users when AI tools, such as autonomous vehicles, rely on this incomplete data. Prior work has shown these trends, but how they influence important semantic metadata r…

Productivity or Equity? Tradeoffs in Volunteer Microtasking in Humanitarian OpenStreetMap

Microtasking, the decomposition of tasks into small units of work, is prolific in human computation and crowdsourcing, and some peer production systems are beginning to leverage this same technique in volunteer contribution-based settings. While early research suggests that focusing volunteer work in this way using mi…
