Imagine that all the little things you observe on a daily basis - your daily commute to work, the trees in your street, or the way rain collects on the road - could contribute to bettering your neighbourhood. That's exactly what communiMap - a new Citizen Science project running on the SPOTTERON Plaform aims to do.
Led by the University of Glasgow's GALLANT project, users are encouraged to pay attention to these details in their environment and share what they observe, fostering awareness among its users and a sense of community with the help of technology.
communiMap is designed to be flexible and adaptable for any community, even though it is presently being piloted in Glasgow with citizens, community organisations, and schools. With its vibrant colours, ease of use, and wide range of topics, it is aimed at all demographics - the young and the exprienced - connecting people in all walks of life. Because the software creates a venue for co-created knowledge, social scientists, urban researchers, and environmental practitioners have already expressed interest in it.
