Mapping Community

+ by @kidwellj +
+ +
+

We have social problems.

+
+ +
+

The recession

+
+ +
+

Climate change

+
+ +
+

Donald trump

+
+ +
+

These all require creative solutions

+
+ +

And far too often, we look in vain to experts "out there" for solutions

+
+ +
+

All around us there are community level solutions that are:

+ - innovative
+ - impactful
+ - sustainable
+
+ +
+

+ ...but community groups go un-noticed +

+
+ +
+

+ This is a visibility problem +

+
+ +
+

+ which impedes funding, collaboration, and multiplication +

+
+ +
+

We want to be visible!

+ +
+

And maps are a fantastic way
to communicate this significance visually.

+
+ +
+

And we know this -

+
+ +
+

Everyone has a map on their website -

+ +
+

+ +
+

Scottish Communities Climate Action Network

+ +
+

Eco-Congregation Scotland

+ +
+

And these maps are all hosted by google.

+
+ +
+

This is a bad thing.

+
+ +
+

- The Google interface is user friendly
+ - But in exchange for this "free" service,
+ - They can (and probably will) cancel your service at any time without warning
+ - You get no analytics
+ - And the data is stuck in a black box that doesn't interconnect

+
+ +
+

Let's recap:

+
+ +
+

+ - Community groups are providing innovation and value
+ - This is going un-noticed
+ - and lack of knowledge impedes funding and collaboration
+ - We can address this problem cartographically
+ - But our options stink
+

+
+ +
+

We are working on a solution to these problems:

+
+ +
+

- By improving public knowledge of community groups

+
+ +
+

- By enabling location-based analytics for groups and their umbrella organisations

+ picture of dtas website +
+ +
+

- By providing sustainable and open data to social policy researchers

+
+
+ +
+ +
+

- By documenting best-practices for local cross-network collaborations

+
+ +
+

- By providing an industry-leading digital mapping platform for free to community groups
