Do you want to share your location information : A case study for a mobile app for an alpine ski resort (English)
Abstract [en]

It is a challenge to collect data on visitors' movement patterns via a mobile app for an alpine ski resort. Because gathering of location information is based on voluntariness. One way to motivate more people to share their location information is to offer the features that users expects or want in such a mobile app. This study aims to investigate what features a mobile app should include in order for users to share their location information. The research strategy used is case study and the data collection method is interviews. 22 alpine skiers were interviewed and in addition, an expert on the topic of mobile solutions with experience of leading development of location-based mobile apps has been interviewed. The interviews generated qualitative data that was analyzed thematically. The results presented by the study show that users are positive about sharing their location information if they receive something significant in return. The results are presented in two parts, one with general needs that the overwhelming majority desired, and one with interest-driven needs.

Abstract [sv]

Det är en utmaning att samla in data om besökarnas rörelsemönster via en mobilapp för en alpin skidanläggning eftersom insamlingen av platsinformation baseras på frivillighet. Ett sätt att motivera fler att dela sin platsinformation är att erbjuda de funktioner användarna förväntar sig eller önskar i en sådan mobilapp. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka vilka funktioner en mobilapp bör innehålla för att användare ska dela med sig av sin platsinformation. Forskningsstrategin som tillämpas är fallstudie. Fallstudien baseras på intervjuer som datainsamlingsmetod. Intervjuer har genomförts med 22 alpinåkare samt en expert med erfarenhet inom att leda utveckling av platsbaserade mobila lösningar. Intervjuerna har genererat kvalitativ data som analyserats tematiskt. Resultaten som studien presenterar visar att användarna är positivt inställda till att dela sin platsinformation om de får något signifikant i gengäld. Resultaten presenteras i två delar. En del med allmänna behov vilka en övervägande majoritet önskade samt en del med intressestyrda behov.
