Reflections on Four Years of Housing-Justice Support Work with #Mapping_Action_Collective

Mapping Action Collective, based in #Portland, Oregon, leverages mapping and data to support housing-justice organizing, using #GIS to dismantle systems of oppression, and grounding its work in the needs of the communities and movements with which it works.

As the interwoven US crises of homelessness, evictions, displacement, and housing instability reach catastrophic levels, students, scholars, practitioners, and activists are joining the call of housing justice for all. In this article, we reflect on the work of Mapping Action Collective (#MAC), a small nonprofit organization based in Portland, Oregon, that over the past four years has leveraged mapping and data to support housing-justice organizing. MAC’s work includes curating and producing relevant nontraditional or hard-to-acquire datasets owned by and in support of community-based groups; developing decision-support software consisting of an interactive map; producing spatial analyses that support campaign work; and organizing educational workshops and events focused on applied critical methods and data literacy.

MAC formed out of a student club in Portland State University’s geography department, where several members became frustrated with the dominant paradigm of academic geographic information systems (GIS), which often fancies itself value-free, apolitical, or neutral, regardless of outputs or products that suggest otherwise. While critical perspectives have emerged in the domain of GIS since the 1990s, many of those criticisms are rarely considered in the standard quantitative GIS course curriculum. Few spaces are available for students to engage critically with their newfound data and mapping skills. The 2017 Resistance GIS (RGIS) conference provided a space to discuss and learn from other like-minded scholars, students, and organizers. Building on the work of critical geographers around the globe, at RGIS we asked ourselves if there was room for subversion of the status quo in GIS: can mapping and data be used to dismantle systems of oppression, rather than reinforce them?

Asset mapping and spatial analysis supporting Portland’s unhoused community

Shortly after the conference, our small student group grew into MAC and began to apply that question to our studies and work in Portland. Through a small grant from Second Nature, we focused our efforts on the exploding crisis of homelessness in our community. Grounding our work in non-extractive collaboration, we began building a relationship with Street Roots, a local nonprofit organization that, in addition to advocacy work, publishes a weekly alternative newspaper sold by people experiencing homelessness to earn an income. One of Street Roots’ main assets to the people it serves is the Rose City Resource (RCR), a comprehensive list of resources and services such as food boxes, bathrooms, needle exchanges, shelters, and counseling and recovery services. No other organization in the area curates such an important dataset for those experiencing homelessness, and this one could only be accessed in a printed three-by-three-inch (7.6 × 7.6 cm) paper booklet, and was updated only twice yearly.

While honoring the value of this paper booklet as a low-barrier, nontechnical way of sharing resources, we wondered if broadening its reach via mobile phone and web, or structuring its format for wider dissemination, would benefit Street Roots and the community it serves. Simultaneously, we reflected on the inherent problem of our outsider thinking and wanted to avoid preaching technology as savior. We learned more about the work Street Roots was doing, joined their events, and built relationships with Street Roots organizers and staff to learn what they needed to do their work. As it turned out, our thinking and Street Roots’ vision aligned—increasing the reach of the RCR was a necessary endeavor.

In late 2018, MAC and Street Roots staff began working together to navigate web development, data management, and data communication (the practice of informing, educating, and raising awareness of data-related topics), to create a tool that was accurate, accessible, and easy for Street Roots staff and volunteers to use and update. Most importantly, MAC wanted the tool to be useful to the community that Street Roots serves. To get feedback on the usability of the tool, MAC members stopped by the Street Roots HQ to test it with paper vendors, folks who dropped in to get coffee or use the restroom, and Street Roots volunteers. MAC integrated this feedback into the development of the tool. The end result was the Rose City Resource Online, a web application and data-transformation pipeline that was collaboratively created with the community it was intended to serve—designed to be easy to use, and functional for any member of the community to use to get up-to-date information about resources and services. The tool was officially launched at the onset of the Covid‑19 pandemic.

We also joined activists working to end the overpolicing and criminalization of people experiencing extreme poverty and homelessness on the streets of Portland. This criminalization occurs through excessive policing within “enhanced service districts” (ESDs). ESDs, similar to business improvement districts (BIDs), are zones where businesses and property owners pay an extra fee collected as a tax to pay for extra security and maintenance. Proponents of ESDs claim they facilitate urban beautification and keep neighborhoods safe, but overlook the reality that this process of so-called revitalization amounts to coercive exclusion of vulnerable people. Clean & Safe, Portland’s largest ESD in downtown, pays for armed and unarmed private security, and supervises six Portland Police officers who solely patrol in their district. In August 2020, an award-winning audit of ESDs revealed the City provides almost no oversight of the activities of these districts, even as they have large budgets and authority over public space. This year, Portland city commissioners will vote on whether to renew Clean & Safe’s 10‑year contract. Organizers and community members are preparing to oppose the contract, especially given recent scrutiny of the district and its managing organization, Portland Business Alliance.

West Coast–based activists from Right 2 Survive, Sisters of the Road, and the Western Regional Advocacy Project asked us to analyze and map police arrest data to strengthen their argument against ESDs. A report from the city auditor that incorporated arrest data from 2017 to 2018 had already concluded that over half of all arrests made by the Portland Police Bureau were of the unhoused. Building on that fact, our research found that the citywide average of arrests for unhoused individuals was 6.1 per square mile, but within the bounds of ESDs that number was 137.7. And while correlation is not causation, it is hard to ignore the magnitude in difference between these numbers.

Data on police harassment and arrest of the unhoused community are difficult to obtain and understand. Through our work with the anti-ESD team, MAC members have learned how to navigate the complicated system of roadblocks that keep this data from the public, and use the data to support the argument against policing homelessness.
Collaboratively developed tools for fighting displacement and speculation

We have also collaborated with organizations we consider leaders in the intersecting space of data activism and housing justice. In the summer of 2019, we joined the efforts of the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project (AEMP) to develop a tool to facilitate landlord and building research in San Francisco (and soon Oakland). For years, tenant unions and organizers have scrutinized corporate-ownership documents, property records, assessor data, and eviction data to unmask speculators, serial evictors, greedy landlords, and their entangled networks of limited-liability companies (LLCs) and shell companies. Investment companies purchase properties using different LLCs for the purpose of anonymity and liability reduction. The corporate web guarding landlords can make ownership and property research challenging and slow.

At the commencement of the project, AEMP contributors in San Francisco garnered feedback from their partners at the San Francisco Anti-Displacement Coalition and facilitated workshops with local tenant groups to assess their research needs and questions in fighting displacement. Shortly thereafter, MAC joined AEMP by assisting in the prototyping process, and by providing general support, design capacity, code contributions, and cloud infrastructure for hosting the project. The result is Evictorbook (in development), a web-based tool that simplifies organizer and tenant research by enabling a user to type an address, landlord, or neighborhood into a search bar to reveal a profile of a building’s eviction history, its owner, and the corporate network to which it belongs. The ability to surface this data to the user is the result of a custom data-processing pipeline that links and stores publicly available assessor, eviction, property, and corporate-ownership data in a regularly updated graph database. A public launch of Evictorbook is expected in the coming months.

https://metropolitics.org/local/cache-vignettes/L970xH506/illu-evictorbook-ui-4-12e3a.jpg?1618673718#.jpg

Similar collaborative work has evolved through a partnership with the Urban Praxis Workshop (UPX) to redevelop Property Praxis, a research tool focused on speculative and bulk property ownership in the city of Detroit. Every year since 2015, members of UPX have curated a dataset that incorporates assessor data that is augmented with tax-foreclosure data and corporate filings to illuminate the LLCs and individuals that own more than 10 properties in the city. The intention of Property Praxis is to offer a more holistic understanding for organizers and community members of how speculative property ownership impacts Detroit neighborhoods. In late 2019, UPX asked MAC to build upon their previous work by modernizing the Property Praxis user interface and automating their data-curation process. The new version is currently in development and will be launched later this year.
Final thoughts

Activist work can be strengthened by research and data, but only if this is done in a way that is not extractive and based on community need (voiced by the community). Four years of experience working with MAC has taught us that grounding our work in the needs of the communities and movements we support is crucial to doing justice-oriented work. This can only happen by building successful, trusting, and long-lasting partnerships. By showing up and participating in community events and never moving forward on project work without meaningful discourse and consideration of community goals, we work towards dismantling the top-down legacy of data work. Even after several years of doing this work, we still have lessons to learn from our community partners on trust-building and accountability.

Part of our development as an organization over the last few years has been the choice to organize horizontally, make decisions through consensus, and avoid toxic tech culture in our own spaces. Such intentionality promotes healthy working environments and reflects the values at the core of our organization in our day-to-day operations. Organizing in this way is by no means simple, efficient, or profitable. It takes long conversations, trust-building among members, and solid conflict-resolution mechanisms to operate without hierarchy. Despite the extra time and mental and emotional labor that it can require, our group feels strongly that it is worth it.

While we try to hold these aspirational goals, we are also aware of our own complicity in problematic systems in the fields of research and data analysis. Recognizing and dismantling our own internalized norms of white supremacy, sexism, classism, and colonist behavior is work that is ongoing. We are a work in progress. We continue to be inspired and led by the work of our partners and we look forward to many more years of collaborative work.

Seeing the city with #Nausicaa_Pezzoni, on mapping perceptions of European cities

http://journal.urbantranscripts.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/in_np_milano_ako_togo_750px.jpg

1. Could you describe your project on mapping perceptions of European cities by people with migration backgrounds, and what motivated you to initiate these projects?

The project of mapping the city through the hand drawings of migrants aims at exploring an emerging issue in the contemporary governance of a city that is increasingly inhabited by transitory populations, namely, how its new inhabitants relate to the urban landscape. I have chosen to focus on people with migration backgrounds as exemplary of this transitory living, and of a relationship with the city more characterized by assigning meaning to urban spaces rather than appropriating them.

In anthropology and sociology, the literature on the meaning of life as related to movement and instability is extensive and by now consolidated. From Bauman’s liquid modernity to Sennett’s exile man, to Attalì’s nomadic man, some descriptions have taken on the role of mapping our era.

In urban planning, however, movement and temporariness remain under explored. Planning tools are still oriented towards permanence. Moving populations urge urban planning to update this consolidated paradigm based on permanence. The first motivation to initiate my research sprang from this consideration.

2. What motivated you to choose the medium of cognitive maps to open up a dialogue with research participants?

I started from the hypothesis that rethinking the city, and any attempt to consider temporary living in urban planning, cannot be separated from the observation and experience of people who live under the condition of transiency. How migrants represent the city also provides an opportunity to listen to people who are at the same time “guests” of the new city and are architects of its transformation.
I have chosen the medium of cognitive maps as the most adept instrument to bring to the surface the lived space of a transitory living, both in the mind of those who draw and in the resulting drawings.

Giving the pencil to the newcomers means giving them the possibility to propose their ideas of the city through its representation, as the representation itself is expected to produce a particular vision of reality, in contrast to a scientific, objectifying vision, which sees the map as a reflection of reality. It is a reason linked to the need to introduce new tools in order to read the contemporary city, as well as to expand the audience of subjects who can express an idea about the city.

Starting from the question asked by Kevin Lynch sixty years ago to deepen his study on “The image of the city” (Lynch, 1960), “How does a stranger build an image of a new city?”, I have proposed an empirical research using and adapting the medium of mental maps first introduced by Lynch. Indeed, the question suggested by Lynch seemed to be very current in the city nowadays and had never been answered since it was asked.


3. Based on your research, what do European cities represent for migrants?

European cities represent the landfall territory, the threshold to cross and a place to live in. They also represent a place to build a new idea of the city itself, and of the society that could be. In the framework of an epochal migration crisis, my research took on an ethical aspect within urban policies. Maps become, in this context, tools to try and describe European cities differently from how they have always been represented and conceived. A migratory phenomenon of unthinkable proportions until ten years ago found in Europe inhospitable land, unable not only to host the populations that press on its borders, but also to see their possible contribution in the wider horizon of ideation and planning. As such, maps represent a city knowledge device in terms of building of a new awareness of the city itself.

A new project was conceived, “Migrants mapping Europe”, aimed at applying the method introduced in Milan to other Italian and European cities, starting with the exploration of Bologna and Rovereto. This is the second phase of research, aimed at incrementally building a European map of the present time that brings to surface the meaning and forms of the first landing and of the transitory living conditions in the territories of contemporaneity.


4. What were your expectations at the beginning of your project? Have they changed whilst carrying out research? If so, how?

At the beginning of the research project, I did not expect the reaction received from of almost all the participants who were asked to draw their cognitive maps. However, the initial disorientation, disbelief, incomprehension, and often the interviewee’s resistance to draw, progressively disappeared. It was replaced by the surprising acceptance of that improbable challenge, which induced 150 migrants to a creative observation of the city, fully participating in a project that had no purpose that was immediately evident.

What I understood and changed whilst carrying out my research is the necessity to project the interviewee into the current experience within the landing city, without looking back towards their past experiences, but rather focussing on their immanent condition.

When, at the beginning of the survey, some participants were asked to speak about their backgrounds, their migration journey, their past, before drawing the map, those migrants found it impossible to draw any map, at all. Looking at the city they currently live in was actually the only way for them to be able to draw. It has proved to be a determining factor for the actual creation of the maps, and it has further convinced me that it was much more critical to invite participants to think about their current living conditions, rather than asking them to look back to their personal history.


5. How do you ensure inclusion and participation in your projects? And how do you create a safe space for individuals to share their connection to the city as well as their personal history?

I try to speak about the kind of participation involved in this experiment, and about its significance from the newcomers’ point of view. Amidst widespread and growing efforts to conduct participatory research, this survey has a particular goal, that is to offer a possibility for migrants to appropriate the city by recognizing their relationship to the urban space. Through their drawings of the map, they develop their sense of belonging to the city. The representation of the urban landscape drawn by migrants who are trying to find their bearings in the city is an act of self-organization within the landscape. The action of imagining and drawing the urban geography corresponds to the act of mentally inhabiting the city and in this way taking possession and transforming it from a space of estrangement into a space which is more articulated and complex, where even a person who has recently arrived can conceptualize and live within it. This is the reason why it is important for migrants to look at the city and not to look back at their history. We can say that the exercise of mapping makes explicit the act of taking to oneself to a space which, no longer about an estranging experience, becomes a space open to unpredictable inhabiting conditions.

There is an ethical reason for this kind of participatory process. It is the opportunity to listen to participants’ point of view with the intention of building a level of equality between the expert and the disorientated gaze: It is an attempt to overcome the prerogative of power over the other that has always divided those who belong—to a territory, to a right, to a system—from those who are excluded.


6. Could you share three maps that convey a particularly strong visualisation of how people with migration backgrounds perceive cities of transit?

I chose one map of Bologna, one of Rovereto and one of Milan, which are the first three Italian cities included into the project “Migrants mapping Europe”. These surveys are going to be published in the second edition of my book with the title “La città sradicata. L’idea di città attraverso lo sguardo e il segno dell’altro” [The Uprooted City] (2020, O barra O edizioni, Milano)

7. Your projects have investigated and voiced migrants’ perceptions of several cities, how were these settings similar and different from one another?

In all the cities so far involved, the sample of interviewees included people from all over the world and who had not yet settled in the city. Thus, they had a mobile point of view, characterized mainly by instability.

The instruments used for each interview were a sheet of A4 paper, pens, crayons and markers, which were left on the table available to the interviewees to choose the most appropriate graphical tools to draw their map. On the back of the map, newcomers were asked to write their name, age, country of origin, the location of their hometown, and duration of stay in that city.

The interview also included information, if participants were willing to share, on the migratory path and the current working situation, to build a more complex picture of their condition. However, as I was saying earlier, the survey did not focus on the reasons for migration, nor the living conditions in the original country; the idea was to bring the newcomer directly to his current condition, to open up a reflection on the arrival city.

The locations of interviews were different in the various cities, depending on the context in which the research originated. While in Milan they were chosen to reflect the heterogeneity of places where newcomers have their main activities, in the other Italian cities, interviews took place where the group of participants involved lived (Bologna) or where they attended school (Rovereto). In Paris, a group of people with migration backgrounds was interviewed at the École Normale Supérieure where they were attending an integration program with local associations.


8. Who would you say is the target audience of your work and how has your work been received so far?

At the beginning I thought I would address my work to urban planners. In fact, I used an interdisciplinary method to investigate the city, other disciplines were interested in opening up a dialogue with my research. Serveral discussions, in Italy and abroad, found food for thought and fertile ground for cross pollination in the areas of geography, anthropology, sociology, and the sciences of representation, in addition to the field of urban planning. The workshops I developed in the different cities are the results of these cross-pollinations . Recently, I took part in a seminar of postcolonial studies and it was on this occasion that I conducted the last workshop with migrants in Paris.


9. What are going to be the next developments of your projects?

The next developments of “The Uprooted City” are to map new cities, with the idea of changing the point of view on Europe as a whole. My hypothesis now is to propose an idea of Europe whose identity is not predefined. It is the possibility that its representation could be transformed by the observation of migrants, and it is the idea and the wish that Europe may be able to transform itself in relation to the foreigner who is coming. It is a hope that migrants could induce each city to represent itself with another map, in a framework oriented not to speak in the name of the other, but to allow the other to lead the narrative of the city.

QUANTO E’ PESA L’ARIA A SCUOLA ?

https://ariapesa.org/img/aria-pesa-scuole.png

La prima mappa partecipata realizzata a Febbraio sull’inquinamento da No2 fa emergere dati critici anche nelle aree in prossimità delle scuole di Bologna.
I genitori vogliono approfondire e insieme ad #Ariapesa promuovono una nuova campagna di rilevazione in tutte le scuole.

https://i.imgur.com/o2NQaXD.png

Alla luce dei dati sull’inquinamento da biossido di azoto rilevati dalla rete civica Aria Pesa nel mese di febbraio 2018 attraverso 317 campionatori posti su tutto il territorio della città di Bologna (scarica il report qui: ▻https://ariapesa.org/docs/report_AriaPesa.pdf), i genitori osservano con crescente attenzione il quadro complessivo che emerge sulla qualità dell’aria che si respira in città. Prendendo a riferimento Piazza di Porta San Felice in cui Arpae nel 2017 aveva rilevato uno sforamento del 15% della media annuale consentita per legge, dalle elaborazioni di Aria Pesa emerge che il 53% dei rilevatori posti nella città di Bologna avrebbe superato gli stessi limiti.

Tra i dati raccolti, emergono in modo puntuale anche quelli rilevati vicino alle aree scolastiche. Sebbene la collocazione rispetto ai plessi varia da caso a caso e spesso si tratta di campionatori in prossimità delle scuole posti autonomamente dai cittadini, tuttavia emerge chiaramente un dato significativo e problematico: un numero significativo di scuole ha una qualità dell’aria simile o peggiore (in due casi è peggiore) a quella di Porta San Felice.

La tematica, alla luce dei dati attualmente disponibili, suggerisce la necessità di un approfondimento e una campagna specifica.

In questo senso, in collaborazione con Aria Pesa, i comitati dei genitori delle scuole di Bologna promuovono e finanziano l’iniziativa di una nuova rilevazione del biossido di azoto mediante campionatori posti all’interno di tutte le aree scolastiche cittadine e che permetteranno di avere una fotografia precisa e completa sulla qualità dell’aria che respirano tutti i giorni gli alunni.

A partire dunque dall’inizio del prossimo anno scolastico, partirà la campagna “Quanto è pesa l’aria a scuola?” con diversi incontri pubblici nei quartieri della città in cui sarà possibile avere tutte le informazioni e già nelle prossime settimane verranno comunicate le modalità di adesione ed i canali a cui rivolgersi.

Tutti i dati raccolti verranno poi analizzati, illustrati e resi pubblici attraverso i canali della rete civica Aria Pesa.

“Mapping is Like a Box of Chocolates.” So wrote Maliha Binte Mohiuddin — then a disaster management student at Bangladesh’s University of Dhaka — in 2016. That year, Mohiuddin’s university opened a chapter of YouthMappers, an organization of students, researchers, and educators that uses openly available geospatial technologies to address development issues.

How mapping skills can drive progress on the SDGs

Geospatial data has become more widely available, but new tools to turn real-time data into insight and action often launch without the training to help make sense of and act on data. SDGs Today is providing real-time data to bridge that gap.

Attending one of its training and “mapathon” initiatives — events where students gather for mapping tasks using tools including OpenStreetMap, or OSM — Mohiuddin found the experience an eye-opener that helped her apply her learnings to real-world situations and gain technical know-how.

Lockdown no bar, over 1,000 students honing skills in cartography- The New Indian Express

The restrictions imposed as part of lockdown have given immense opportunities for people to pursue their areas of interest even when sitting at home. Here the student volunteers counting over 1,000 are honing their cartography (map making) skills by marking things around them with the help of freely available satellite images. The high-resolution micro maps are made by including streams, ponds and bus routes in their localities.

But the micro-level mapping is much beyond a lockdown engagement. It is done as part of the Mapathon Keralam project initiated by Kerala State IT Mission with lofty goals of better policy making. The micro maps made under the project are considered more useful than Google Maps which offer only asset location and navigation for free. “It’s a good way to contribute to Kerala’s rebuilding at the time of lockdown,” said Chithra S, Director, Kerala State IT Mission.

“Mapping provides vital information that can be used for development planning of the state, and more importantly in disaster resilience,” Chithra said. The volunteers of National Service Scheme have almost mapped the streams in Kollam, Kottayam and Pathanamthitta. Mapping of water resources and related structures shall enable better planning against water scarcity. A local body can also use the information available on the maps to make a quick response action in the wake of a flood or a landslide.

Mapping covid-19 impact in refugee camps

Ce virus ne discrimine pas par la couleur de peau, le genre ou le statut. Toutefois, il est certain qu’il affectera dans des proportions plus grandes et des formes plus sévères les plus vulnérables d’entre nous – notamment les réfugiés et personnes déplacées – pour qui, en moyenne, l’accès aux soins, à l’information et les opportunités pour se protéger des ces conséquences socio-économiques sont moindres. C’est pourquoi nous avons décidé avec le soutien des membres de la communauté Techfugees de collaborer ensemble à distance afin de mesurer l’impact du coronavirus sur les communautés réfugiées et identifier les solutions existantes potentiellement prêtes à être déployées localement ou partagées.

La plateforme collecte des #données quantitative et qualitative sur la manière dont le #coronavirus affecte les communautés réfugiées. D’abord d’un point de vue purement sanitaire & humanitaires, mais aussi capturant des données sur l’#impact_socio-économique et les atteintes aux droits de l’Homme. La plateforme fournit également un éventail de solutions existantes afin de venir en aide et de rendre plus autonome les personnes réfugiées. Ces données sont mise à jour de manière hebdomadaire.

La mappa degli alberi da frutto antichi del Luganese

Conservazione delle antiche varietà di alberi da frutto: al via il progetto di mappatura sul territorio della Città di Lugano

Conservazione delle antiche varietà di alberi da frutto: al via il progetto di mappatura sul territorio della Città di #Lugano.

Chi possiede un vecchio melo nel proprio giardino, chi conosce un pero interessante su di un terreno incolto, ma anche chi vuole semplicemente raccontare i propri ricordi legati all’albero di fichi che da bambino sorgeva in piazza è invitato a contattare il Verde pubblico della Città di Lugano.
A partire dal mese di giugno inizia il progetto di mappatura degli alberi da frutto sul territorio di Lugano, dalla foce a Cimadera. Tutte le segnalazioni sono benvenute. Quando pensiamo al nostro patrimonio culturale, pensiamo agli scrittori, agli artisti e agli uomini di stato che hanno lasciato una traccia nella nostra storia. Non pensiamo agli alberi da frutto. Eppure il tema degli alberi da frutto, più di molti altri, raccoglie in sé tanto la nostra natura quanto la nostra cultura, è dunque un tema strettamente legato alla nostra identità. L’abbandono dell’agricoltura tradizionale nel dopoguerra, l’estensione delle zone edificabili da un lato e l’avanzata dei boschi dall’altro sono andate a scapito delle campagne agricole e dei suoi alberi da frutto.

La Città di Lugano lancia un appello ai cittadini, ma anche agli utenti della città, per collaborare al censimento degli alberi da frutto rimasti sul suo territorio. La generazione contadina, di uomini e donne che conoscevano bene gli alberi da frutto e li coltivavano è ormai quasi sparita e, con essa, rischia di finire nell’oblio tutto un sapere contadino. Il patrimonio da recuperare è molto prezioso. La collaborazione di chi conosce un albero da frutto, di chi semplicemente l’ha visto o di chi ne conserva preziosi ricordi è fondamentale per riscoprire e salvaguardare la diversità genetica dei nostro patrimonio naturalistico. Il censimento e la mappatura, infatti, saranno seguiti da un progetto di reintroduzione delle antiche varietà individuate. Il frutteto di Cornaredo, così come il frutteto della Scuola elementare di Cadro, realizzati in collaborazione con l’alberoteca, ProFrutteti e l’Alleanza territorio e biodiversità, sono un esempio di come la Città può intervenire nel mantenimento della biodiversità, risorsa fondamentale per affrontare le sfide del futuro. Il censimento è realizzato dalla Città di Lugano (dal Verde pubblico con il supporto di Lugano al verde) in collaborazione con l’alberoteca, #ProSpecieRara, ProFrutteti, e con l’Associazione amici del Torchio di Sonvico.

#Push-back_map

Cette carte documente et dénonce des #push-backs systématiques. Ils sont une réalité quotidienne aux nombreuses #frontières de l’Europe et du monde. Renvoyer les gens à travers les frontières contre leur volonté est une pratique de l´État qui est violente, et qui doit cesser maintenant !

Veuillez noter que si un témoignage ou un rapport ne dispose pas d’une localisation GPS exacte, l’emplacement du marqueur ne sera qu’une approximation.

Using Maps as a Weapon to Resist Extractive Industries on Indigenous Territories - Resilience

For Indigenous peoples across the Americas, urgent threats imposed by the industrial extraction of natural resources has characterized the 21st century. The expansion of industry has threatened Indigenous territories, cultures and sovereignty. These industries include: timber and pulp extraction, mining, oil and gas and hydroelectric development. As well, the extraction of human beings from their lands has real implications for the survival of communities.

The debate of territory is essential in these resource conflicts. Maps — and those who make and shape them — are central to the discussion of land rights, especially when it comes to industrial resource extraction and Indigenous peoples.

Sara is a 32-year-old mother of four from Honduras. After leaving her children in the care of relatives, she travelled across three state borders on her way to the US, where she hoped to find work and send money home to her family. She was kidnapped in Mexico and held captive for three months, and was finally released when her family paid a ransom of $190.

Her story is not uncommon. The UN estimates that there are 258 million migrants in the world. In Mexico alone, 1,600 migrants are thought to be kidnapped every month. What is unusual is that Sara’s story has been documented in a recent academic paper that includes a map of her journey that she herself drew. Her map appears alongside four others – also drawn by migrants. These maps include legends and scales not found on orthodox maps – unnamed river crossings, locations of kidnapping and places of refuge such as a “casa de emigrante” where officials cannot enter. Since 2011, such shelters have been identified by Mexican law as “spaces of exception”.

Les données collectées sont accessibles sur OpenStreetMap, projet cartographique communautaire et ouvert. Les outils sont sous ­logiciel libre, comme Jungle Bus, une application participative dont le logiciel reporte automatiquement sur une carte les tracés de ­lignes de bus. Conçue à Managua (Nicaragua), celle-ci a permis à 150 bénévoles de cartographier l’ensemble des arrêts de bus de la ville.

Je ne savais pas que Managua était « en Afrique virgule », mais c’est intéressant quand même. #OSM #cartographie_participative
