Consumer Behavior in Brand Consumption and Identification

The adaptation of location-based services considers mainly objective information and collections of facts. Subjective components such as emotions and opinions can provide alternative views, e.g. for supporting decision making. Therefore, research on affect analysis is carried out by capturing and analyzing location-based emotions from user generated content. The chapter presents the approach of extracting emotions from photo titles, descriptions and tags of Flickr and Panoramio pictures. The obtained emotions are documented in the valence-arousal-space as well as in emotional maps of geospace. The distribution of emotions within the valence-arousal-space represents the kinds of emotions occurring in the study area of Dresden whereas the emotional map shows the geospatial distribution. The investigation results offer further potential for an analysis regarding influencing demographic factors and their effect on spatial applications in the field of tourism.
