Abstract
This paper deals with the convergence of Social Media and Geographic Information and discusses its potential as useful source of knowledge in spatial planning. With the underlying assumption of the acknowledgement of the innovation that digital geographic information- including Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) and Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI)- is already bringing to urban and regional planning, the authors argue Social Media may also play an important role due to both their pervasiveness in content exchange and their emerging spatial convergence. To support this thesis, a review of best practice examples in different domain is presented in order to understand what tools are currently available and what kind of knowledge can be extracted from Social Media. On the base of this analysis, the paper present an original user-friendly tool developed by the authors to extract information from Social Media and to perform Spatial-Temporal Textual (STTx) analysis. The paper ends with some brief conclusions on the opportunities for the application of STTx analysis in urban and regional planning.
