Abstract
The use of Social media is growing fast. The objective of
the SosPromo project was to investigate
the possibilities of Social Media tools and processes as
a rapid way of information collection
and sharing to enable and support the mobility of the
selected user group, people with
some movement reducing factor. The actual implementation
in SosPromo-project focused on
crowdsourcing accessibility information from Points Of
Interest, POIs (e.g. restaurants, cafes,
shops) especially in the Helsinki capital region in
Finland. This information can be used for
personalised journey planning especially with disabled or
elderly users or person with temporary
mobility restrictions e.g. when moving in a city with a
small child in a push chair. The
introduced SosPromo concept enables further information
sharing between different user
groups.
