THIS PAGE DESCRIBE A CITIZEN SCIENCE PROJECT
Start date : 2012/02/01
- Beta start date : N/A
- End date : Still open.
⇳ Description
A mobile application plus a platform which enables local communities to use a smartphone to compile and share a report on forest activity around their habitat.
➠ Purpose
Develop a system of participatory monitoring for forest management – specifically the social impact of logging. In a more global perspective, the goal is to let communities build so-called Community Memories: evolving, shared representations of the state of their environment, their relationship with it, and any threats it faces.
? Research question
There are both "global" and "local" questions, for example:
- how to design tools and practice that allow citizens to understand their environment and to participate in its management.
- How to create tools that allow anyone to capture data, share data, analyse data and use them.
- How to work in difficult technical conditions (weak GPS signal, no electricity, lack of Internet, etc.)

Description
A mobile application plus a platform which enables local communities to use a smartphone to compile and share a report on forest activity around their habitat.
Purpose.
Develop a system of participatory monitoring for forest management – specifically the social impact of logging. In a more global perspective, the goal is to let communities build so-called Community Memories: evolving, shared representations of the state of their environment, their relationship with it, and any threats it faces.
Research question.
There are both "global" and "local" questions, for example:
- how to design tools and practice that allow citizens to understand their environment and to participate in its management.
- How to create tools that allow anyone to capture data, share data, analyse data and use them.
- How to work in difficult technical conditions (weak GPS signal, no electricity, lack of Internet, etc.)
