Abstract

Mobile devices have diminished spatial limitations, in a way that one can personalize content in a suitable frame considering individual’s location and present it. Yet, it is not possible to consider user’s interests and preferences  in  a  suggestion  provided  using  just  place-based  services.  Current  generation  of  place-based services  do  not  provide  users  with  personalized  suggestions,  instead  they  just  offer  suggestions  close  to interests based on users distance from the place where they are. In order to solve this problem, the idea of using  social  recommender  systems  was  discussed  which  contains  capability  of  identifying  user’s  interests and preferences and based on them and user’s current place, it offers some suggestions.  Social recommender  systems  are  a  combination  of  social  data  on  web  like;  user’s  social  networks  and  spatial information. Because user’s information include personal information and interests in social network sites, considering user’s current location and the information existing in social network data base, it is possible to provide user with a suitable suggestion. Through this method users’ interaction decreases and they can acquire their favorite information and services.
