PROJECT DEFINITION

Subject

Natural sciences > Human-Computer Interaction, Anthropology, Software Engineering, GIScience (nature/conservation)

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.)
