Abstract
Societies nowadays encounter with a large number of environmental problems. Management of these problems requires involvement of a large number of people. Such issues can be solved using crowdsourcing methods which brings people together in a large network. Considering the fact that any development will affect land management, recent studies have given more attention to public participation in program management and problem solving. There are various approaches for effective land management that need overall community participation. In this regard, crowdsourcing methods have provided the possibility of public participation in decision making that help individuals to have an effective role in land management. People participating in this process can share their opinions, ideas, information, abilities and awareness through internet regardless of their physical location. The purpose of this study was to introduce crowdsourcing, its advantages and disadvantages, and some of crowdsourcing-based applications and their functions in land management. The results of this research based on the literature review showed the significant impact of public participation in decision making on environmental issues and performing proper management strategies. Such participation will help reduce costs and provide quick information and assistance.
