Advances in Web technology have triggered new modes of participation. In the context of online participation, the use of geospatial technologies has received increasing attention. This includes possibilities for the public to contribute spatial data to any initiative or project. In this context, it is important to be aware of and consider the motivations that drive people to take action, both in the implementation of participatory projects and in the development of tools that support spatial data collection and reporting. Even though literature provides extensive knowledge on why people participate and how to address their motivations, the question remains to what extent project designers actually take this into account. Results of a questionnaire and an analysis of Web sites and Web applications reveal that project designers consider motivations in their initiatives to varying degrees. To increase the extent to which motivational factors are considered and addressed in project implementation, two approaches are discussed, namely, participatory design and user interface design patterns. Key Words: motivational factors, online participation, spatial data collection and reporting.

参与式空间数据贡献的动机及其思考

网络技术的进步引发了新的参与模式。在在线参与的背景下，地理空间技术的使用受到越来越多的关注。这包括公众为任何倡议或项目贡献空间数据的可能性。在这种情况下，重要的是要意识到并考虑驱使人们采取行动的动机，无论是在实施参与性项目还是开发支持空间数据收集和报告的工具方面。尽管文献提供了关于人们为什么参与以及如何解决他们的动机的广泛知识，但问题仍然是项目设计者实际上在多大程度上考虑了这一点。调查问卷的结果以及对网站和 Web 应用程序的分析表明，项目设计者在不同程度上考虑了他们计划中的动机。为了增加在项目实施中考虑和解决激励因素的程度，讨论了两种方法，即参与式设计和用户界面设计模式。关键词：激励因素、在线参与、空间数据收集和报告。
