TRANSCRIPT
Using mapping on the internet
• Slow connections
• Small display area
• Limited number of users
• Not fun!
Positive aspects
• Web-based mapping easy and fast
• More data available for merging and integrating
• Inexpensive and free GIS
• Base map information available
Remaining problems
• Spatial literacy (map reading)
• Usability of GIS and web mapping applications
• Bridging the skills gap
• ‘So what?’ – linking information to action
Citizen Science
• Usually, the collection of scientific observations by volunteers who are not trained or professional scientists
• However, citizens can also participate in defining the problems, envisioning possible projects and participate in the analysis
• Can (and should) participate in the discussion of the results of what they’ve collected
Archway Pedestrian Surveys were carried out in collaboration with Space Syntaxwho specialised in pedestrian movement analysis
