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.
