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
