GoraNiNora: Context-Dependent Information for Safe Mountain Visits
摘要
The rise in mountaineering accidents, notably from snow avalanches, highlights the need for enhanced safety measures in mountain tourism. This study leverages mobile computing to address the gap in mountaineers’ practical knowledge through GoraNiNora \(^3\) , a mobile app providing context-sensitive educational content. Developed on the basis of survey results involving 950 mountaineers and in collaboration with eight professional mountaineering experts, GoraNiNora utilizes real-time location and weather data to offer tailored advice improving a user’s safety and knowledge. A usability evaluation confirms the app’s effectiveness and user-friendliness, suggesting that GoraNiNora could contribute to safer mountain tourism by enriching mountaineers’ knowledge and experience.
