Digital media, location awareness, and the politics of geodata

该项目旨在研究位置元数据或地理数据在澳大利亚智能手机实践和文化中日益普遍的作用，以及这对用户，行业和公共管理的影响。该项目将提供在线和开放资源，以提高公众对地理数据和地理信息的理解，以及解决日常数字媒体使用中“位置意识”这一关键问题的行业和政策建议。该项目将对地理数据在日常数字媒体使用中的关键作用产生新的见解，并将有助于更广泛地就数据隐私、监控和网络安全进行公众讨论。研究结果还将为行业带来好处，提高开发人员对日常用户如何理解和协商位置服务的隐私影响的理解。

This project aims to examine the increasingly pervasive role of location metadata, or geodata, in Australian smartphone practices and cultures and the implications this has for users, industry, and public administration. The project will deliver online and open resources to enhance public understanding of geodata and geoprivacy, as well as industry and policy recommendations that address the crucial issue of ‘location awareness’ in everyday digital media use. The project will generate new insights into the critical role of geodata in everyday digital media use and will contribute to broader public discussion about data privacy, surveillance and cybersecurity. Its findings will also provide industry benefits, enhancing developers’ understanding of how everyday users apprehend and negotiate the privacy implications of location services.
