Collaborative mapping of emerging cities in developing countries: the <i>León Emergente</i> project
收藏资源简介:
In the expanding constellation of collaborative map-making initiatives, a growing number of small local projects coexist along with more ambitious and global ones. In developing countries, their existence is not only compatible and complementary, but also necessary, since they meet different needs and pursue diverse and essential objectives, in addition to collecting and sharing geo-located data. In this context, this paper describes the <i>León Emergente</i> initiative, a collaborative living atlas for the city of León in Nicaragua. The results are presented through two main maps that illustrate, for the first time, the formal and informal economic activity of the city as well as the health facilities in relation to the distribution of population across the city. The paper also describes the <i>Leon Emergente</i> online platform and presents a number of online maps that not only represent, but also collect data on different urban aspects and dynamics.
在日益发展的协同制图项目生态中,越来越多小型地方项目与更具雄心的全球性项目并存共生。在发展中国家,这类项目的存在不仅具备兼容性与互补性,更是不可或缺——它们不仅可收集并共享地理定位数据,还能满足多元需求、达成多样且关键的目标。在此研究背景下,本文介绍了《莱昂崛起》(León Emergente)项目——这是针对尼加拉瓜莱昂市的协同式活地图集。本研究通过两幅核心研究地图呈现成果,首次直观展示了该市的正规与非正规经济活动,以及与全市人口分布相关的医疗设施布局情况。本文同时介绍了《莱昂崛起》(Leon Emergente)在线平台,并展示了多款在线地图工具:这些工具不仅可呈现城市不同维度的动态与风貌,还能同步收集相关领域的数据。
