Hey all, This email to let you know about the #ANRCohesionBouake mapathon that will be held in University Alassane Ouattara (UAO) Bouake (Ivory Coast) this Saturday 7-April 2018 to consolidate the OpenStreetMap buildings layer of the second city of this country.
This mapping effort is part of the the Free Geomatics component of the research project CohéSIoN (“The socio-territorial construction of inequalities: territorial diagnosis as a decision aid tool”) that the association Les Libres Geographes (LLG) designed wtih Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) and is implementing with the support of mappers from Projet EOF, OSM Ivory Coast (OSMCI) Abidjan and Bouaké as well as local students or young researchers. More info on this research project below at the end of this email or via Twitter at the #ANRCohesion Tomorrow we shall be around twenty building OSM data from the university after two weeks of training focused on remote and on the ground data creation. We will start with this mapathon the first activity of the OpenScience lab that we will be animating throughout the 4 years of this project in between the more intense phases of work, mostly urban studies of various disciplines (Geography, Social Sciences and biomedical sciences). The Lab will primarily works at community level towards capacity building and handing over research results, methodologies and tools. Anyone interested in contributing to the goals of this research project this 7-April (from de 9h00 AM to 6h00 PM) is welcome to join : - Bouake UAO (salle de réunion de la vice-présidence de l'université - campus 1) ; - Or the mapping project number 209 [1]. Funded by Agence Nationale pour la Recherche (ANR), designed by IRD and LLG and implemented from 2018-2021 by a collective of research institutions, LLG members and members from OSMCI and ProjetEOF, the research project “The socio-territorial construction of inequalities: territorial diagnosis as a decision aid tool” (CohéSIoN) relies on a geographical approach to establish how health inequalities participate in and result from the construction of the “territory” in Bouake the second city of Ivory Coast and using malaria as an indicator of these inequalities. The ANR CohéSIoN objectives and work packages are three-fold: - The task 1 will describe the past and current urbanization process at work in the city of Bouaké to establish how it can be at the roots of an uneven expression of health facts. - The task 2 will determine the risk profiles of the populations in the select territories identified at the end of task 1 and surveyed at household level to characterize how the exposition to malaria of population differ according to places and time. - The task 3 will finally depict the socio-spatial construction of the select surveyed territories within a public health perspective to propose a health territorial diagnosis. The research will combine quantitative and qualitative methods and bring together geography, social sciences and biomedical sciences within an overarching paradigm of open science. The underlying comprehensive data mobilization and creation required by the CohéSIoN project will be carried out by Les Libres Géographes with the support of a collective of local mappers from OSMCI Abidjan and Bouaké. They will use high resolution satellite imagery, the tools, techniques and methods of the OpenStreetMap project to build the geographical data required for COhéSIoN which will then be hosted on the Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) IDS Francophone Libre (IFL) to be freely accessible as OGC web services. This free geomatics approach will allow for a wider sharing of the CohéSIoN geographical information, tools and methodologies in terms of learning processes (training), appropriation dynamics (mapathons, hackathons, conferences…) and valorisation (urban observatory and urban health platform available for all actors). Addition information on this research project also available in French as a post to [email protected], the OSM list for Ivory Coast [2]. Looking forward to mapping with some of you tomorrow.
