OpenStreetMap and CycleStreets: collaborative map-making and cartography in t...
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.

MoMoTLV Waze Presentation
Maps are complex to create and maintain due to the large amount of data required. Traditional mapmakers collect basic data from various sources like government offices and aerial photography. To create navigable maps, field teams collect data by driving many vehicles over many miles to gather layers of information like road geometry and attributes. Maintaining accurate maps is very expensive, estimated at 40% of company revenues. Alternatively, OpenStreetMap allows collaborative editing of maps by volunteers to create free geographic maps. Waze aims to solve this by having drivers actively and passively report real-time road and traffic conditions to create a live map through a free mobile app.

Not the Geography You Remember
If you took a Geography course over 20 years ago, you might recall the subject involving little more than memorizing the locations of continents, countries, cities, as well as climate and cultural facts. In that time, many universities have expanded their geography programs by entering the world of Geographic Information Systems, or GIS for short. In the beginning GIS was an obscure field of specialized hardware, software, and cryptic keyboard commands that allowed a skilled professional to query data to get answers to geographic-based inquiries. Queries, such as the quantity of forested acres within an area, were the beginning of the geographicbased analysis revolution that has since unfolded. But today’s leading geography programs are teaching students more than just the where, what, who, and why of our world, but also bring to the table an interdisciplinary approach to solving today’s local, regional, national, and global problems. Many of these programs are not limited to just universities, now involving the K-12 space, tapping into young people’s minds to unleash innovative ideas in what is now an interdisciplinary field. To maintain a competitive advantage in today’s world, leading countries, companies, and research organizations are embracing these new capabilities and the talent that is available in the marketplace.

Existe una multitud de sectores donde es necesario disponer de datos que permitan entender los patrones de comportamiento de la población: la planificación y la operación de los sistemas de transporte requiere información precisa, fiable y actualizada sobre la demanda de viajes; los patrones de actividad y movilidad de los turistas tienen profundas implicaciones para la planificación de infraestructuras, el desarrollo de la oferta turística y las estrategias de marketing turístico; entender el comportamiento espacial de los clientes es clave para optimizar las estrategias de distribución, comercialización y publicidad, determinar la localización de un nuevo comercio o punto de venta, o maximizar el retorno de la inversión en acciones de marketing. Las fuentes de datos tradicionales, basadas fundamentalmente en encuestas y registros administrativos, proporcionan información muy valiosa, pero no están exentas de inconvenientes. En general, las encuestas resultan caras y lentas de realizar, lo que limita el tamaño de la muestra y la frecuencia de actualización de la información, a lo que hay que añadir otras limitaciones intrínsecas, como las respuestas incorrectas e imprecisas, o la dependencia de la disposición a responder de los entrevistados. En los últimos años, la generalización del uso de dispositivos móviles ha abierto nuevas oportunidades para superar muchas de estas limitaciones. La posibilidad de recoger datos geolocalizados sobre la actividad de las personas, de manera dinámica y a un coste sensiblemente inferior al de los métodos tradicionales, abre la puerta a infinidad de aplicaciones. Las más evidentes son quizá las relacionadas con el transporte y la movilidad, pero el abanico es mucho más amplio, abarcando casi cualquier área que requiera información sobre los patrones de actividad y movilidad de la población. Las nuevas fuentes de datos plantean asimismo importantes retos, desde la necesidad de desarrollar nuevas metodologías de análisis, hasta la protección de la privacidad.

Big data: uncovering new mobility patterns and redefining planning practices
Using representations and data that are digital, we can create images about what happens where and when in cities, including mobility patterns that remained unaccounted until now. If properly analysed, big data for mobility can radically improve the socioeconomic and environmental analysis of public and sustainable transport. This session will discuss how big data is affecting mobility in terms of new travel behaviour and transport planning. At the user level, the relations between social networks, social media usage and travel behaviour in EU countries will be discussed. Scientific insight on the social media usage of millennial students in EU countries to understand their impact on social activities and mobility in urban areas will be presented. At the planer level, responses to changes in mobility patterns or unaccounted needs given by the analysis of public transport smart data will be presented. Advances on an integrated accessibility index will be discussed as a way for policy makers to improve current transport planning practices. Yet, big data in transport is not immune from some problems, especially those relating to statistical validity, bias and incorrectly imputed causality. This point will be discussed alongside liability, since Big data is gathered and manipulated by many different stakeholders. The proposed panel discussion therefore aims to provide to the audience a clear understanding on ways in which big data affects travel behaviour and transport planning, while accounting for data quality and pan European standardisation aspects.
Building Spatial Data Infrastructures for Spatial Planning in Africa: Lagos e...
Lagos is the fastest growing Megacity in Sub-Saharan Africa, with its population estimated to double in the first quarter of this century; it is expected to be the third largest urban agglomerations in the world. This growth is not without challenges, as the city is grappling with myriads of urban management problems. City planners lack the most important ingredient of land use management, which is Information. In spite of huge investment on spatial data infrastructures at the national and state levels of government, most land use planners at both state and local government level agencies are ignorant of existing geospatial technology portals and unlock the full potentials of information and communication technologies. A statewide survey of the spatial data infrastructures of the city’s urban and land use management ministry and agencies proves its pathetic state, thereby creating information gap void between urban development and intelligent management. The result is has led to a sporadic growth of slums and unplanned settlements which now accounts for over 60% of the city. To avoid an impasse, it is necessary to review the level of geospatial technologies used at the local level and recommend formidable means of integration in the decision making process. This paper examines the level of geospatial technologies and Spatial Data Infrastructure use in spatial planning agencies and barriers to implementation in the 20 local governments of Lagos State and suggests the way forward.

State of the Map Asia (SotM-Asia) is the annual regional conference of OpenStreetMap (OSM) organized by OSM communities in Asia. First SotM-Asia was organized in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2015, and the second was organized in Manila, Philippines in 2016. This year’s conference, third in the series, was organized in Kathmandu, Nepal on September 23 – 24, 2017 at Park Village Resort, Budhanilkantha, Kathmandu, Nepal.
We brought nearly 200 Open Mapping enthusiasts from Asia and beyond to this year’s SotM-Asia. The event provided an opportunity to share knowledge and experience among mappers; expand their network; and generate ideas to expand map coverage and effective use of OSM data in Asian continent. We chose ‘from creation to use of OSM data’ as the theme of this year’s conference, emphasizing on the effective use of OSM data. We also brought together a government panel from four different countries in this year’s SotM-Asia. We believe this event will deepen the bond and enhance collaboration among OSM communities across Asia.
