The document discusses an initiative called MapKathmandu that aims to create a detailed and free online map of the Kathmandu Valley using crowdsourcing. A group of students and professionals see a need for an improved map to help with disaster relief, navigation, and new location-based apps. Their plan is to map streets, buildings, landmarks and other points of interest in Kathmandu onto OpenStreetMap with the help of volunteers. They believe an open community mapping project is the best way to develop an accurate and up-to-date digital map of the area.

OpenStreetMap and CycleStreets: collaborative map-making and cartography in t...CycleStreets
Abstract: The arrival of web-based mapping from Google and others has revolutionised, in the space of only five years, the way many people interact with maps and map data. And the success of projects such as Wikipedia highlight how collation of small amounts of information from large numbers of people - an approach called 'crowdsourcing' - can challenge traditional models of data collection and ownership. Bringing these concepts together is OpenStreetMap, a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. Well-established enterprises such as the Ordnance Survey are coming under increased pressure from this new model, and large companies such as MapQuest and Microsoft are starting to use and invest in it. Martin Lucas-Smith, Webmaster in the Department, and one of two main developers of the leading UK-wide cycle journey planner website, CycleStreets, will discuss OpenStreetMap, its use within a wide range of systems (from cartography, routing, and even its central role helping deal with the Haiti disaster) and discuss the challenges it poses to traditional forms of cartography and data collection.

● Initiative to make a detailed online map of
Kathmandu Valley
● Make the map free to use
● Use crowdsourcing to speed up data upload
● Create a community of active mappers
3. Who are we?
● Group of graduate students and young
professionals who want to see change in
Nepal

● Disaster relief and medical emergency
● Easy navigation
● Enable businesses to deliver services and
products easily
● Enable innovation in location based mobile
apps and services

● Map the city with the help of interns and
volunteers at Adyota
● Provide training on OSM
● Form a community of active mappers
● Support with funding
● Run projects with universities and other
youth groups to make direct impact
○ Part of the curriculum/course
○ Competition based projects
○ Extracurricular credits

● Roads:
○ All roads that are accessible by car and bus-stops
○ GPS traces of narrower roads and their names when possible
● Buildings and landmarks:
○ Hospitals, clinics, blood banks, pharmacies
○ Schools, Government offices, Ward offices
○ Banks, large businesses, ATMs, tourist landmarks
○ Bridges, temples, chowks, bahal
○ Public toilets, garbage containers, major public open spaces,
named intersections, roundabouts
