One City, One MapGlasgow aims to open a world of city data. With over 350 datasets, It is the UK city with the most open data.
No matter how detailed open data is, it is still nowhere near rich enough to truly capture how people experience the city.
Future Maps works with citizens to collect their experiences and enrich our knowledge of Glasgow, so that everyone, citizens to researchers, decision-makers to local businesses, can use it.
Future Maps Engagement ProjectFuture Maps complements the Future City Data Team’s stakeholder strategy to encourage organisations, businesses and public services to open data.Future Maps has invited people across Glasgow to share a wealth of knowledge about the city. Community insights offer a new point of view on the city, creating the future from the ground up.
Digital LiteracyFuture City Glasgow commissioned Pidgin Perfect to deliver a wide-ranging mapping project, over June - September 2014, focused on exploring the city through the eyes of enterprises, communities, and individuals.We used a wide range of analogue and digital mapping tools. Increasing people’s confidence with digital resources proved to be empowering for many participants and groups.
Citizens shared their local knowledge and created an in-depth view of the city.
The maps and data streams they produced are open for anyone to use and better understand the city.
Furthermore, the publication of an open-source toolkit empowers individuals and groups in and beyond Glasgow to run similar events and create their own maps.
Initiatives, Themes & LocationsThe initiatives focused on various themes and locations across the city.
Citizen MappingMapping sessions in Easterhouse, Shettleston, Carmyle and the North East. Main contact groups included youth cafes and the Greater Easterhouse Alcohol Awareness Project (GEAAP) as well as residents and users of The Bridge.
#SocEntMap GlasgowA guided, online programme for Social Enterprises, ethical and sustainable businesses to map themselves using existing open tools with the support of existing social enterprise networks.
Young City MappingWorking with schools and youth groups to gather young people’s experience of the city. They mapped their daily lives through a variety of exciting mapping tools and explored how open data could benefit their communities.
Mapping PartiesLarge scale, celebratory public events to map a particular theme. These were a successful collaboration with the OpenStreetMap Scotland community.
Dear Green NetworkMapping Glasgow’s greenspaces, growing spaces, wild areas and the connections between them and the communities who use them.
Heritage MappingCollaborate with the Dennistoun Community Council to create a walking mobile app, enticing people to experience all that Dennistoun offers and learn about the historic spaces there.

The Benefits of Community MapsCommunity mapping allows citizens to highlight the parts of their environment of interest or concern them.Community maps are built from local knowledge, experience and expertise but they are more than data gathering. The process of discovering the obvious, hidden and potential assets in a community opens possibilities. Mapping is a valuable digital development and empowerment tool.
Why Map Our Communities?:• Powerful tool to increase digital skills• Support community participation• Better understand connections and networks • Greater awareness of local stories and points of interest
• Easy access to information including health services, support groups, local service providers, retailers and community groups
The Benefits of Open Data“Open Data ... data that belongs to the public broadly accessible and usable by humans and machines, free of any constraints”
Glasgow joins a worldwide network of smart cities unlocking the potential of open data allowing everyone to share and use information to increase accountability, efficiency, responsibility and sustainability, and spur economic growth.
Future Maps used open formats and resources wherever possible to ensure that communities could continue to use the tools long-term.
Open means capacity. Making data and ideas accessible makes the project part of a global movement of ideas and opportunities. The project used sophisticated open source tools that we could never have developed on our own. Our experience and modifications were fed back to help these tools to develop. The people of Glasgow have been frontline testers of a range of map-making tools. Their feedback will help develop more inclusive and user-friendly apps and services.
Methodology & ApproachThe initiatives adopted a similar engagement approach to invite citizens and groups to map their communities, services and environments. To have a lasting impact, Future Maps developed an open, easy-to-understand and shareable toolkit allowing citizens to continue making their own maps.
The toolkit is an intuitive and engaging documentation and is designed to be shared digitally. Elements of this toolkit have also been shared in open formats, on GitHub, OpenStreetMap Wiki and Learn OSM giving back to these supportive communities.
The toolkit provides material for community trainers. It has been refined through feedback from the Future City team, existing mapping communities and participants.Future Maps: Sourcing City Data from Citizens
This document and appendices form a learning resource and reflections on our experiences and the tools and ideas that we explored. It empowers others to apply what has been prototyped in Glasgow anywhere in the world.

Introduction

ApproachThe Pidgin Perfect mapping sessions followed a similar blueprint. This began with analogue mapping before exploring the digital tools selected for the group.
Each workshop was carefully planned to maximise the teaching and engagement opportunities with community groups.
Workshops were tailored to suit each group depending on the age, interests, literacy, location and digital knowledge of its members. Participants could then experience using a range of digital and analogue mapping tools.
Every workshop began with a selection of Analogue Mapping exercises: No Map Mapping, My Favourite Places or Citizen Mapping. For more information see page 11.
The paper map attracts people who would be deterred by a screen. The participants bring the knowledge of the city and the facilitators bring the digital skills. This knowledge exchange is an interesting experience on both sides.
Digital Mapping primarily focused on teaching participants how to edit and add information to OpenStreetMap (OSM).
Participants were asked firstly to upload information about the amenities they had contributed to the paper map. Pidgin Perfect would begin by giving a short demonstration of OSM, but it was evident that learning through doing was the most effective teaching method.
Alongside OSM, participants were also given the opportunity to explore a number of other online mapping tools, including Mapbox, Mapillary, Pushpin
OSM and Wheelmap. For more information see pages 12 - 15. Giving participants a range of tools to chose from allowed them to find the one they were most comfortable using.

The sessions all follow a similar outline, adjusted toadapt to the different groups, ages and types of workshop.
The session introduces digital and analogue mapping to citizen mappers and an understanding of how, and why we might use maps in our daily lives and how to create maps of our own.
The workshop gives participants a level of confidence and empowerment so that they might continue to map after the workshop, share their knowledge and teach others how to map.
Introduction 5 minutesIntroduce the concept of mapping as well as what participants will be doing and what is expected of them.
Ice Breaker 5 minutesAlthough the group might know each other well they do not know the facilitator. It also gives the facilitator a chance to learn names. Example: “My Favourite Things”, asking participants to say their name and share their favourite icecream or vegetable.
No Map Maps 10 minutesTo introduce the idea of mapping, Pidgin Perfect asked participants to create their own maps. Either individual “My Journey to School” (or similar) or group maps,
drawing the River Clyde and the building and spaces along the river.
Analogue Maps §25 minutesThink of 3 or 4 of your favourite things to do within the bounds of a physical A0 map.
These points are then added to the map using cardboard Map Points with icons. Participants sometimes had to discuss between themselves to find the locations.
Explanation 10 minutesIntroduce the digital tools chosen for the group. Discuss privacy and online mapping.
Digital Maps 45 minutesParticipants work alone or in small groups to digitally map areas. Using the paper map as a starting point, participants edit existing points and their metadato or add new points, lines and areas to the digital map.
Where multiple tools were in use Pidgin Perfect encouraged participants to teach and train each other.
Wrap Up 10 minutesDiscussion of what was explored, mapped and learnt.

1Citizen Mapping, My Favourite PlacesEach session began on a large blank paper map with a series of colourful stand-up cardboard pins. It asks the question: what do you know about your community?
The blank map opens the conversation, rooting itself in citizens’ experiences of the city; capturing how we use the city, not simply where things are. Intuitively, this conversation highlights what matters to the community.
This knowledge can then be transferred online to be used by wider communities. This approach is a powerful tool to engage community groups with low digital literacy. The paper map attracts people who would be deterred by a screen. The participants bring the knowledge of the city and the facilitators bring the digital skills. This knowledge exchange is an interesting experience on both sides.
2No Map MappingMany sessions began with a No Map Mapping challenge. The introduction invited participants to think about resources and facilities in their area, particularly those they were familiar with.
Participants draw a map of their area onto a blank sheet of paper without any additional references. Participants were asked to focus on a specific route - to school or work - and the community resources they pass on their way.
No Map Mapping is a great tool to get people thinking about the assets o f their community. Although done individually, the No Map Mapping triggered a lot of discussion and debate about the local area.

3Field PapersField Papers are an invaluable tool to survey and map on the ground. Users can print a series of OpenStreetMap maps of an area. Once information has been gathered on paper, the data can be easily transferred onto the online OSM map using a simple QR code.
Field Papers were a simple way of recording data and checking what is currently listed on OpenStreetMap against the reality. It gave participants the opportunity to navigate using a map, check previously mapped data and then update the data online using one straightforward tool.

Analogue Mapping was a vital first step towards mastering digital mapping techniques.

4OpenStreetMapOpenStreetMap (OSM) is an open data mapping website, built and maintained entirely by a community of mapping volunteers.
Because it is sourced from open data, OpenStreetMap can be added to by anyone. This means it tends to be updated more regularly than other proprietary online maps.
OpenStreetMap gives citizens control over what information about their area is mapped. Anyone is free to use it for any purpose so long as they credit OpenStreetMap. This makes it an incredibly valuable tool for community groups.
5On OSM OnOSM is an open source mapping platform which allows businesses to add information about themselves to OpenStreetMap, without having to become registered users.
Users simply drop a point onto the map and add any information they wish about their business.
The information is not posted directly to the map. Instead it is left as a ‘note’, which is then approved and verified by an OSM member before being added to the map. Non-registered users can also flag up any errors they find on OSM.
6JOSMJava OpenStreetMap, or JOSM, is the desktop editing programme for OpenStreetMap. It is free to download.
Users can edit the OSM base map without an internet connection. Users can make changes to the map and then upload them to the website later.
JOSM is suited to more advanced users who are looking to make significant changes to the base OSM map.

7PushpinPushpin is a mapping application available for iOS tablets and smart phones.
Users can drop ‘pins’ onto the OSM map and add information about specific points of interest, such as restaurants and museums, or public amenities, such as WCs and bicycle parking. Although the OSM map cannot be edited through Pushpin, any information added can.
Users are then able to search for points of interest or amenities in their area using either specific names or general categories.
8MapillaryMapilllary is similar to an open data version of Google Street View, sourced from photos uploaded by volunteers. Although Google Street View is a highly effective photographic mapping tool, it has its limitations. Mapillary allows people to upload the best and most up-to-date images of their area. Places which are not currently on Google street view can now be mapped.
Mapillary works by using a camera app for mobile phones which allows the user to take a continuous stream of images while walking, cycling or driving a particular route. The images are then uploaded to the Mapillary website where they are stitched together into a uniform street view.
9WheelmapWheelmap app and website allow users to search for wheelchair-accessible facilities in their area.
Using data sourced from OpenStreetMap, Wheelmap allows registered users to give existing amenities an accessibility rating - full, partial or not at all. Users can also edit and add to Wheelmap as they wish through the website or the app.
Users can search for a specific facility to check its accessibility, do a broad search of an area of the city or a look for a particular public amenity using the ‘categories’ option.

10MapboxUsing OpenStreetMap as a base, Mapbox is an open source design platform for maps.
Mapbox allows users to create customised maps, changing the colours and lineweights of the map through the simple Mapbox map editor. More complex designs can be produced using the open source design studio TileMill.
Because the information is open sourced, users are free to use their Mapbox creations however they wish - on personal websites and apps for example - so long as they credit Mapbox on their work.
11TileMillTileMill is a free-to-download mapping design programme developed by MapBox.
TileMill allows users to create beautiful, custom maps and data sheets for use on the web. The programme can be used in conjunction with any open sourced data platform, for exmaple OpenStreetMap.
12CartoDBCartoDB is a cloud-based mapping platform to create sophisticated mapping visualisations and applications from location data.
CartoDB can support multiple data platforms simultaneously so users can create maps from both commercial and open-sourced data.
Maps can be linked back to Google Drive or Dropbox accounts so that the maps will automatically update in line with any changes to the data set it is based on.

13Directory: Community MapThe map is a prototype built by OPEN Glasgow on the Directory Wordpress theme by Templatic to explore the possibilities of open citizen mapping. It allows citizens to visualise existing datasets and create new data. All updates are moderated.
The prototype builds on a previous project which created a large database of services for the users of the Greater Easterhouse Alcohol Awareness Project (GEAAP) which is now freely available online to everyone in the community and includes over 250 services. The Change Agents and users created a Community Mapping Guide & training videos : How to use the map? How to add a service? How to register and login?
14Google MapsGoogle Maps is a desktop and mobile mapping application provided by Google. Google Maps offers comprehensive mapping services including satellite imagery, street maps and street view perspectives. It can also be used as a route-planning tool for driving, walking and using public transport.
Google Maps lists information for some businesses and services. This information is drawn from a number of offline and on-line sources. However, the information gathered is not necessarily verified nor regularly checked and updated.

An Experimental ApproachFuture Maps has been a people-focused project. We worked closely with communities, organisations and individuals across the city. We invited people to map Glasgow and share their experiences of the city, using both digital and analogue tools.
The workshops taught participants a variety of mapping techniques tailored to reflect the themes, locations and needs of each group. Some aspects of the workshops were left more open - allowing groups time to explore and experiment.
Pidgin Perfect are not hardcore mappers or coders, though maps are one tool that we often use to engage people in thinking about their experiences of the area they live in. While we have learnt, and taught, a lot of mapping skills during the Future Maps project, our background is in speaking to and working with communities. The tools that communities have got the most from are the ones that allow citizens to
communicate in the most intuitive and universal ways.In exploring how mapping can be used to help people gain and share digital skills, we have experimented with a range of tools created by others. Some of these, like OnOSM, are open source, and we have tried to feedback our experiences and ideas, to help develop these tools.
As the project has progressed, some tools fell by the wayside, while the team have learned to use others in ways that we couldn’t possibly have imagined when we started out. This process has allowed us to form some thoughts on what an ideal mapping tool might look like: a tool that supports map- based community engagement; one that is intuitive enough to allow a large number of participants to get involved with digital mapping, while being robust enough to build meaningful and useful citizen data.
Sessions where it was possible to work across several workshop groups, each individual learning various
digital mapping platforms before teaching each other their new skills were the most successful. Sharing knowledge reinforces learning. In most workshops the emphasis was on learning to navigate, edit and add points to digital mapping platforms, but in some cases we were able to teach more sophisticated mapping and presentation tools.
Digital mapping tools are a powerful way to build digital skills and literacy. Once their interest has been sparked, people want to stay on this journey and explore it for themselves. We have supported some individuals in gaining a level of digital literacy they did not think was possible - whether that was accessing emails and editing online data or taking full responsibility for moderating a community map.
The Future Maps experimental approach - explore, adapt, test, refine, feedback - has allowed us to gauge how effective each digital tool is in undertaking a wide ranging engagement project.

Train-the-TrainerSome sessions focused on training key individuals within community groups who would then be able to teach mapping to a wider audience at a later stage. They would have to be skilled and confident enough to do so. Peer-to-peer learning was also encouraged to ensure long-term sustainability. It is already evident that this has been achieved in some groups
Digital Literacy & Wider EngagementThe project introduced a number of groups to the idea that their input is vital to building a sustainable and useful map that can be used by everyone – from citizens looking to access services to organisations deciding where these services should be located.
Mapping sessions used digital and analogue tools to engage individuals in a range of techniques in a fun and informal way, in the hope that participants would continue to use these skills after the initial session.
Taking Participants on a JourneyStarting simply with blank sheets of paper or large printed maps, the mapping sessions took people on a journey - beginning with the simplest concepts of location and orientation, before moving towards more complex ideas and novel technology.
Not everyone followed all of this journey, but by starting with the basics it was surprising how many people who might have begun the workshop by saying “I’m not
much good with computers” will have added a local landmark to OpenStreetMap by the time the session ended.
The paper mapping activities were always met with great enthusiasm, regardless of the groups - from disinterested teenager to reluctant pensioner. They gathered detailed local knowledge about the community.
They also helped demonstrate how people use the city as a whole. No paper map was large enough to accommodate every participant’s experience of the city, with people travelling far for certain amenities and using those closer to home in other circumstances.
Paper mapping activities were a good foundation for learning digital mapping skills. The paper map enabled participants to focus solely on newly acquired digital mapping skills for the remainder of the workshop - with the analogue tools there for prompts and further discussions as required.Paper mapping acts as a knowledge exchange between the participants and facilitators. By answering: “What do you know about your area?” the participant teaches the facilitator about a particular area and in turn, the facilitator teaches the participant how to use mapping tools.
Participants can contribute to the session regardless of their level of literacy. Importantly, it is an opportunity to
dialogue about the city: sharing advice, knowledge and stories. For individuals who rely on other people for support in other areas of their lives, this is an empowering experience.
Toolkit CharacteristicsThe Future Maps sessions have been about collecting citizen experiences and city data: either the sort of quantitative, verifiable data that OpenStreetMap is built upon, or altogether more personal input, including stories and experiences that transform spaces into places and houses into neighbourhoods.
Separating the data from the stories is a challenge. The team want to experience and bring together the stories that we hear and personalities we meet, while still fulfilling the overall project ambition of transforming local knowledge in to open data. The paper maps have become filled with the sorts of things only locals can know, some of it utterly insightful, some wildly subjective. As the team guide the sessions towards digital tools, we have been clear on the nature of open data; of usefulness and relevance, as well as privacy and propriety.
Future Maps ObservationsThe experimental approach was successful in engaging citizens because of the variety of mapping tools in the toolkit.

social and cultural backgrounds from across Glasgow. We adapted each workshop to each community group. Future Maps, Pidgin Perfect and Citizen Mappers across the city have uncovered unrecorded information, mapped neighbourhoods, citizen experiences and green networks, and shared this unique data on open source online maps for everyone to use.
High ParticipationThe majority of the sessions were well attended, with several communities and groups asking for additional sessions to allow their members to explore the online map further.
There were instances when the mapping sessions were less successful, with disappointingly low attendance. Although there was interest on social media ahead of the event, this did not translate into numbers in the room. The sessions were stand-alone events, rather than those working with an existing community group. Where we worked with a specific community group, they were able to identify individuals or smaller sub-groups with a specific interest in one of the themes –making it easier to gain people’s interest and enthusiasm. Existing groups were also able to provide venues and time slots with which their members were familiar, increasing the likelihood of their availability and attendance.
Extensive KnowledgePeople loved to share their experiences of the city and seemed to intuitively understand how it benefit others and how they in turn could benefit from other people’s contributions. Participants would check their contribution with others in the group to ensure that they published the best and, most up-to-date information.
People knew which services had opened, closed or moved since the last “official” mapping - whether this was on OpenStreetMap or Google Maps. They were able to provide richer data: not only where a building is located but what happens inside: the community centre might already be on the map, but we were able to add all of the services it offers.
Quality Community DataThe collected data has shown that citizens map good quality data. Participants were able to moderate one another’s entries.
Over the course of the project, no one tried to add any information to the map which was inappropriate or irrelevant. In one instance where a participant accidentally added personal information to the map, it was immediately spotted by the rest of the group. All the tools chosen had moderation so that no inappropriate data could be published.
City Wide & Invisible NetworksCommunities don’t follow the official neighbourhood boundaries. We have found that people travel across the city to access services and community assets they want to use, even where a similar service exists closer to home.
This is for a variety of reasons. People move house, but enjoy the community and social life of their previous neighbourhood. Accessing services further from home gives some people a comforting feeling of privacy. Public transport routes affect how people use services and it may be easier to travel further for a service rather with a convenient bus stop than get to a closer one.
Each citizen has a chain of spaces and community services they feel comfortable getting to, being in and places that are special to them. This creates an invisible network which is unique to each citizen. City-wide mapping has allowed the Future Maps team to understand this and use it to our advantage - our experimental approach to digital mapping has allowed participants to map their city and explain their city comfort zones and networks:
“we can use this park to play ball games without annoying anyone”
“this swimming pool is really far away, but the bus from outside my house goes right there”

Share the StoryIt was clear that people enjoy talking about and sharing their stories. In time, workshop participants will spread the word about what community mapping is, how it can be done and why it could be beneficial to their community. It is essential to give communities sufficient time and any necessary support they need so that they are able to share their experience of mapping and, in turn, their local knowledge.
A Future Mapping ToolThe best workshops are always the busiest and liveliest ones, where it’s never possible to keep track of everything all at once, instead moving from group to group, person to person and catching little snippets of the stories and experiences being shared. There are of course challenges to working within such an exciting environment.
A Staging AreaWhen we work with online mapping tools, everyone in the room has a chance to learn through doing: people make live changes to the open data - the same data that everyone else in the world will see. There will always be hiccups when someone learns any new tool, so we kept an eye on edits during mapping sessions, and checked changes after the participants have left the workshop, to ensure that no errors remain. This was possible because we logged participants on to these tools under known user names.
An ideal tool for delivering mapping sessions would be one which allows the same level of freedom and experimentation as these open source mapping tools, but holds the data produced by participants away from the core data until the facilitators can check and moderate it. A tool like this does not yet exist but would be an invaluable development for the future of community asset mapping by councils and citizens.
A look at the developments being led by organisations like HOTOSM, Mapbox and the OpenStreetMap community suggest that tools like this are not too far from being realised. For example, we were able to customise OnOSM to create our own Social Enterprise Mapping website.
Version Control & Data LayersGithub’s version control model is one such tool. It allows users to ‘branch’ data - creating a copy for their own use and alteration - before changes are merged back into the primary dataset. At the beginning of a mapping session, a branch could be created that allowed participants to make any changes and add as much data as they wished - personal, open or otherwise. All changes could then be reviewed before relevant data was merged to the main Map.
Typically within a version control system, individuals responsible for a project are able to make decisions about what branches to accept back into the main trunk. This process of verification could be done by
workshop facilitators, but this could also be a great learning tool for participants: a final element to a mapping session which would allow participants to review the information they have produced, learning and deciding what makes good open data.
Having workshop data held separately from the main Community Map’s core dataset would also allow for the creation of maps that focus on the more subjective and individual experiences of place - creating a more personal map.
A User Friendly MapOpenStreetMap’s iD editor is a fantastic, intuitive tool, and we have seen first hand how quickly people become comfortable with using it to add points and metadata. Such a simple editing process means adding information is possible for a broad sector of society, creating rich, detailed maps. Making sense of meaningful, local data within this vast database can be a challenge. Ideally, it would be possible to search and visualise data in a manner that is as simple to use as OpenStreetMap’s iD editor.
Many of the groups hope to produce a map that is meaningful to their members. Tools like Overpass- Turbo or QGis allow for sophisticated analysis of OpenStreetMap data, but these tools are inaccessible for the casual user. An ideal Community Map would allow specific tags, or edits from particular events or
Observations
21
projects to be quickly searched, highlighted and built upon.
Google’s map engine, Mapbox and the community directory tool developed as part of the Future Maps project give a good indication of what is possible. However, any data created within them is static, and separate from the evolving base map. A Future Mapping Tool that allowed a community or user to create individual maps, with data that could be selectively pulled from - and pushed into - OpenStreetMap would be a powerful one.
The Future of Mapping EngagementTo ensure the long-term sustainability of any Future Mapping Tool, a wide range of communities, groups and citizens need to be engaged - able to both understand and teach the tool.
Community-based “Mapping Champions” have been vital in the development and uptake of the mapping tools used for the Future Maps project. The Champions should continue to be identified and trained to use, teach and moderate the Community Map, understanding its data layers, version control and editing tools.
Engagement professionals would be a constant and neutral contact outwith the City Council and best placed to support citizen mappers, framing conversations positively, providing feedback to the
Council and citizens and enabling a constructive approach to this, potentially very empowering, Community Map.
They would be able to teach and share the community assets tool across the city. Any community engagement programme must have a long-term plan, with the capacity, scope and resources to support a wide-range of groups for as long as is necessary to build their confidence and enthusiasm.
Over the relatively short course of this project, we have witnessed first-hand how mapping has the potential to widen the reach of community groups, improve an individual’s digital literacy and technical confidence and create a unique body of lived knowledge which is open to all. It would be of benefit to the citizens of Glasgow to maintain the interest and enthusiasm for mapping which this project has begun to generate.
From what we have seen across the course of this project, when organisations tap in to the energetic stream of open source projects which are building around maps and mapping, the possibilities are infinite.

Citizen Mapping, Training TrainersThe Citizen mapping was a collaboration between Pidgin Perfect, OPEN Glasgow, the Change Agents team and the Greater Easterhouse Alcohol Awareness Project (GEAAP).
From the community point of view, the map makes it easier for people to access services in their area and across the city. From a Future City Glasgow point of view, it explores the potential benefits of open citizen mapping. The map allows citizens to visualise existing datasets and create new data which can be of value to everyone, from residents to decision-makers and researchers. The Literacy Programme Scoping provided a clear starting point and outlined the main contact group.
The project consisted of:Working with data champions to clean the existing database & customize the off-the-shelf prototypeInviting the community to contribute their knowledge on
a large paper map as a starting point.
9 user testing and train the trainer sessions to give individuals thorough training. Participants are now confident helping and training others. They are particularly enthusiastic about the tool and have developed digital skills.
The second event allowed the community to see how their contribution was used and how they could now use the online map.

#SocEntMap Glasgow
Self Initiated MappingThe emphasis of this initiative was on encouraging small businesses to learn how to use, edit and update open-source mapping data for themselves. The project looked to demonstrate how online mapping could benefit a business.
The Social Enterprise Mapping initiative used a different approach to the others. Business owners already have a high level of digital literacy, so it was not necessary to provide them with the same level of support as other community groups.
This ‘hands-off’ approach was digitally driven, with no direct contact opportunities provided. Instead, a social media marketing drive was initiated to raise awareness of the Future Maps Social Enterprise Map. Support was always readily available from any member of the Future Maps team.
b
Following a period of communication with the umbrella organisations which support social enterprises in Glasgow, a social media campaign was launched by through email, Twitter and Facebook using the #SocEntMap hashtag. Social enterprises across Glasgow were invited to add their business details to an online directory based on OpenStreetMap.

Young CityMapping
My Life Maps, Mapping Our CityAcross the course of the project, a siginificant number of both primary and secondary aged children were engaged in learning about and experimenting with mapping. This age group, under 18, generally had significant digital awareness. These workshops gave participants an opportunity to learn new skills and gain greater knowledge of their local area.
Young City workshops covered a number of analogue and digital mapping techniques. Where possible, the sessions began with first-hand survey work in the participants local area. Across all the groups engaged, a full suite of mapping techniques were taught.
With primary school sessions, we focussed on mapping favourite routes and places before undertaking simple digital tasks designed to teach the children how to access and edit open source mapping platforms. Sessions with secondary school aged participants focussed on the mapping of local amenities and
supporting digitally literate participants to explore sophisticated digital mapping techniques.

MappingParties
Show Us Your CityA series of day-long mapping events, or mapping parties, created an opportunity for citizens outwith the targeted community groups to learn new mapping skills. Each event was centred on a theme, to exchange specific knowledge about the city.
Participants could learn about the full range of mapping tools in the toolkit. Members of the OpenStreetMap community also attended the mapathons to teach mapping skills and techniques as well as engage with a whole new community of potential mappers.
The mapping parties allowed participants to learn the mapping skills which they felt would be most useful to them and at their own pace.
Multiple mapping platforms, both analogue and digital, were taught simultaneously throughout the day: Citizen Mapping, No Map Mapping or learn OpenStreetMap, Pushpin, Mapillary or Mapbox.
The mapping parties worked best when they engaged with an existing group at a wider event. People engaged readily and even those who claimed they had limited digital skills were soon adding and editing OpenStreetMap.

Dear Green Network
Green City & Food NetworksThe ambition was to develop an understanding of the networks between Glasgow’s extensive green spaces and local food stockists and producers; from allotments to shops stocking local produce, community gardens to cafes using home-grown produce.
The workshops encouraged participants to map as much as they knew about growing, greenery and eating across Glasgow, not just within their own area.
Wherever possible, the workshops were held in community gardens and allotment spaces. Several existing gardening groups participated in mapping workshops and one larger- scale, open event was held to try and bring as many members of the Glasgow gardening community together as possible.
The groups were taught a mixture of analogue and digital mapping techniques – beginning with a quick citizen mapping session to collate knowledge about the
local area. Participants would then be split into smaller groups to learn different mapping techniques such as OpenStreetMap, Pushpin and Mapillary. When a participant was confident in using a particular tool, they would be encouraged to teach another member of the group.
The mapping workshops were most successful when they engaged with an existing gardening group. When members of a group knew each other already, they seemed more confident when learning a particular tool and happier to pass on what they had learned.

Heritage Mapping
Mapping the PastThe heritage mapping initiative gave the Future Maps team the opportunity to collaborate with a community organisation upon developing an existing mapping project - ‘A Day Out In Dennistoun’ - rather than introducing the basics of mapping, as was the focus of other initiatives.
The focus of this initiative was to help Dennistoun Community Council and Dennistoun Conservation Society to develop a digital walking guide - a smartphone app - to the sites of historical and cultural significance within Dennistoun.
As an introduction to the collaboration, a mapping party was held alongside another local event: Dennistoun’s Big Gig. This gave the residents a chance to find out more about the development of the app, use the analogue Citizen Mapping technique to share their knowledge of Dennistoun’s heritage and have a go at some digital mapping techniques.
The digital walking app is in development in conjunction with the Future Maps application building team: Active Travel.
This initiative was an opportunity for cross-sector collaboration, giving two significant community groups the opportunity to work with app developers, using future technologies to preserve, record and celebrate the gems of the past.
