Hi Mishari, I can share from the experience to mapping slums in Cartagena, Colombia with a Latinamerican NGO called TECHO (is not an acronym), plus the last steps that you list (a, b, c) we started mapping the past using Bing imagery (normally have imagery date); then a small aerial filming company donate drone flights <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRRHAgxioZw> to map the present. After that we count double of houses that community leader beleive that exists; but using filedpapers on the field we get exact number of houses an his conditions <https://hyances.carto.com/viz/1607cb08-319c-11e5-868c-0e853d047bba/public_map> (like presence of tilts to deal with floods).
Pictures from mobiles apps and ballons just serve as helpers, but maybe could be some security issues, so we prefer to use papers, all the steps always include community members. This actually is a methodology for mapping slums in connection of every house as spatial element with household surveys that give us a clear picture of community dimensions, so useful for his inner development. I'm glad to say that now this slum is on the way to became a formal neighborhood and OSM map is the base to achieve that, so mapping slums can be a tool for poverty overcome, because as a formal one, they can be part of local administration planning services and budget, and of course, with all this information (that became in knowledge throught action) they know how to proceed in his development path. I humbly hope this could help with your question; if not feel free to come with more, Humberto Yances 2016-07-14 5:58 GMT-05:00 Mishari Muqbil <mish...@mishari.net>: > Hello, > > I just wanted to feedback from the community for our effort to map the > slums in Klong Toey, Bangkok.
