Attitudes Towards Spatial Privacy

Research findings suggest that privacy continues to
be a serious concern in contemporary society, that
spatial privacy is in fact a unique and measurable
concept, and that concern for spatial privacy is
measurably more significant than a similar metric of
general privacy. Though spatial privacy did present
as unique and measurable, the chosen demographic
variables appeared to be much less significant than
originally anticipated. The population continues to
be concerned about a wide range of privacy issues.
However, issues relating to privacy in a spatial
context manifest as a greater concern than does a
general privacy format. The continued growth of
spatially aware technology and the wide distribution
of these technologies to an ever increasing
population have serious implication for spatial
privacy as a continued issue.
