  abstract = {Focal point of this conference is to examine urban patterns and city
	structures regarding the changing needs of people in their everyday
	life. In order to do so, involved stakeholders such as planners and
	decision makers need to have precise information about citizens’
	needs and feelings concerning actual difficulties or tasks. Thus,
	approaches are needed to identify such topics, and to evaluate urban
	processes. One potential for this can be seen in new developments
	like Ubiquitous Computing and pervasive sensing with mobile devices
	which can act as small and connected sensors in the spatial environment.
	Due to the increasing prevalence of such mobile devices, more and
	more geospatial data is being produced, and some of it allows for
	inferring information about people’s behaviour in specific areas.
	The main problems in these tasks are on one side that the processing
	of such data is a difficult task, due to the heterogeneity of interfaces
	and used data formats, but also because of the absence of a target-oriented
	question and the overlook of the potential for spatial and urban
	planning. We consider mobile crowdsourcing approaches to gather data
	in combination with the potentials of ubiquitous computing via new generation smartphones
	with the RADAR SENSING app as a promising approach. This app is a
	target-oriented software application that allows non-experts and
	citizens of a city to easily provide location based data just by
	using their mobile device and to attach urban spaces with specific
	planning relevant information. The presented test study was conducted
	in Kaiserslautern and aimed at validating methods to process and
	analyse localised tags in an urban area with the RADAR infrastructure.
	Hence, this study is an elaboration of the potential of new sensing
	and monitoring methods for urban areas.},
