GEOCROWDSOURCING URBÀ?
Smartphone made IR photographyThere are a lot of differents ways to see urban ecosystem
Trees & city skin temperature project
Urban metabolism
Radiation gradients over a piece of BCN
A crowdsourcing projects to show how Platanyus hybrida trees can help to reduce urban heat island on summer if just let to grow correctly in front of the south exposed façades of the urban mesh
The few trees that have been unpruned can cover entire façades
So, a crowdsourging project just taking georeference temperatures could do the work!
CROMA is an NGO created as a geocrowdsourcing platform
Its first project devoted to road ecology and ecological connectivity
The most interesting fact is its geodatabase which is compliant with INSPIRE Directive
We have developed a very easy interface that can be customized for new projects
Precise location indicator
And different fields of the database that can be tailored for new projects
As it is a WEB MAP SERVER we can select and create reference map layers
Really easy to explain where data happen!!!
Among with data a photograph can also be uploaded
Big opportunities to explain success stories!!
Why not make a call for citizen science with well placed QR codes?
We want your ideas!@CROMAxCROWDMAPS
