Emotions make cities live: towards mapping emotions of older adults on urban space

Understanding of interaction between people and urban spaces is crucial for inclusive decision making process. Smartphones and social media can be a rich source of behavioral and declarative data about urban space, but it threatens to exclude voice of older adults. The platform proposed in the paper attempts to address this issue. A universal tagging mechanism based on the Pluchik Wheel of Emotion is proposed. Usability of the platform was tested and prospect studies are proposed.
