Who's afraid of Neo-Geography?
The document discusses the rise of "neo-geography", which refers to the usage of geographic tools and techniques by non-experts for personal and community activities. Key aspects of neo-geography include the shift from static maps to interactive "spatial canvases", the decentralization of geographic authority, and users serving as producers of geographic content through crowdsourcing and volunteered geographic information. The document argues this represents a paradigm shift that challenges traditional GIS roles and rules around issues like who does mapping and what defines geographic accuracy and quality.
Presentatie S2M MFA-lab
The document discusses trends related to the digital revolution and changing nature of work. It mentions concepts like knowledge workers ("knowmads") who can work anywhere anytime, asynchronous collaboration, crowd collaboration, and the blurring line between virtual and real. It then introduces the company Seats2meet.com which offers shared workspaces and meeting spaces with wifi, food, and drinks in exchange for contributions to building their online network. The goal is to facilitate serendipitous connections, sharing of knowledge, and global inspiration on a local level to generate business opportunities. An app is mentioned as a way to further connect people and information.

Nasa Chain
This document proposes a blockchain-powered solution for landslide and disaster management. It describes some of the problems with current relief systems like a lack of transparency and coordination between different organizations. The blockchain solution would allow independent relief groups to collaborate on a decentralized network without a single controlling party. Key features would include the ability to directly collaborate on processes, an offline alert system, privacy, and using smart contracts to handle insurance claims and payments. The proposed architecture involves users, application services, a blockchain and IPFS database, IOT devices, and microservices.

Other Biofuels
The document discusses alternative biofuels including methane gas from manure and organic waste, ethanol from plant material, and the downsides of ethanol. Methane gas is combustible and can be used to produce heat and electricity. Ethanol can be mixed with gasoline and burned in vehicles with less pollution than gasoline alone. However, ethanol requires about the same energy to produce as the energy it provides, making it too expensive currently to significantly reduce global fuel needs. Advances may make ethanol cheaper by using waste wood instead of corn.

This paper deals with improvements in production runs in the manufacture of electronic components for application in automatic control engineering. The comprehensive utilization of all existing manufacturing data as well as their correct representation play a key role here as does the critical assessment of the actual situation. Various scenarios were considered, based on the representation of the manufacturing processes in the simulation runs. The objective was to identify bottlenecks and problems in production with the help of simulation. During the simulation runs that were conducted, three different scenarios were considered, each having different time-slot patterns and order situations.

Geodata4All
The document discusses using web 2.0 tools to improve collaboration and information sharing for disaster risk reduction and civil protection. It notes that citizens can act as sensors by sharing geolocated alerts and reports, which can help monitor situations. The proposed doctoral project aims to set up a web/mobile application called Geodata4all to create a shared map where different groups can collaborate by exchanging data, knowledge, and analysis in real time. This could include sending alerts and communications. The goal is to foster more resilient communities through open sharing of geoscience information.
From élites to collaboration: towards a resilient approach to natural hazards...
This document discusses a research project aimed at developing a more collaborative approach to natural hazard analysis and emergency management. It notes that modern technologies have changed information production and sharing, allowing crowdsourced data and real-time updates. The project tested geolocating photos and damage assessments shared between response agencies and citizens. Going forward, the project will create an "information stream" using web tools to share hazard data, manage crowdsourced information, and raise risk awareness, improving preparedness and response through multi-level collaboration.

The document discusses how crowdsourced data from platforms like OpenStreetMap, Safecast, and social media can be used to address the impacts of climate change. OpenStreetMap allows anyone to collaboratively map the world and proved useful in mapping areas affected by the 2010 Haiti earthquake within weeks. Safecast crowdsources radiation level data with mobile devices and geiger counters to empower people with information. Social media platforms like Flickr have also been used to track phenomena like changing cherry blossom seasons that may be influenced by climate change. The document argues these informal sources can help collect scientific data and monitor climate impacts in a structured way.
Participatory environmental science 2013 04 14
The Citclops project aims to use participatory environmental science to improve optical monitoring of seascapes. Citizens will collect water quality data using their smartphones and cameras. This data will be combined with satellite data through the GEOSS framework to better interpret seascapes. The goals are to redesign current monitoring and reveal new environmental details. By engaging citizens, the project hopes to make monitoring more affordable, widespread, and sustainable compared to traditional scientific methods alone.
Green Map System Introduction 4-11
Green Map System provides tools and resources for communities to create local maps highlighting sustainable living resources. The original Green Apple Map of NYC in 1992 helped people connect with the city's green spaces and options. This concept expanded globally, with over 550 published Green Maps across 55 countries engaging over 740 communities. Open Green Map was later created as an online platform to make the mapping process more accessible and shareable. It currently features over 16,000 sites on nearly 200 maps in 7 languages. Green Map System works to empower local communities to research, design, and promote sustainability in their own areas.

Green Map 2014
Green Map is a mapping system that highlights natural, cultural and sustainability sites within communities. Local groups create Green Maps that identify over 170 types of community assets and challenges using standardized icons. The movement began with printed maps but now includes interactive online maps. The Green Map System provides resources for mapping projects. A new Green Map Lab will be launched in New York City to address issues like climate change and youth participation through collaborative mapping projects. The Lab aims to build capacity, foster partnerships and develop models that can be replicated in other cities.
Ushahidi esri juliana
Ushahidi is open source software that allows for real-time crowdsourcing and mapping of information. It was originally developed in 2008 to map reports of violence in Kenya following post-election conflicts when traditional media failed. Ushahidi means "testimony" in Swahili and allows individuals to share stories by reporting incidents on a map. It has since been used for crisis response, election monitoring, community mapping and more. The platform lowers barriers for people to share information and their stories in real-time.
Geoscan: spatial data country profiles
The document summarizes the GeoScan project, an innovation challenge funded by IFAD's Change Delivery and Innovation Unit. The project involved creating spatial data profiles and maps for countries in West and Central Africa to help understand patterns and explore solutions to poverty in rural areas. Key results included the development of country atlases and an interactive web GIS dashboard with hundreds of geospatial layers and web applications accessible online. The goal was to facilitate informed decision making through better access to and analysis of geospatial data.
