When travelling in space, humans perceive the environment and evaluate it affectively. This chapter illustrates how mobile crowdsourcing and social media data can be used to study people´s affective responses to different environments. It also showcases how these affective responses can be used to provide a better understanding of human−environment interaction, as well as to enable smart geospatial applications (particularly navigation systems). This chapter also discusses some essential challenges that need further investigations when crowdsourcing people´s affective responses. Some of these challenges are participation motivating, data quality and privacy.
