urban ecosystem
GEOCROWDSOURCING URBÀ?

4. 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

5. The few trees that have been
unpruned can cover entire
façades

6. So, a crowdsourging project just taking
georeference temperatures could do the work!

7. CROMA is an NGO created as a geocrowdsourcing platform

8. Its first project devoted to road ecology and ecological
connectivity

9. The most interesting fact is its geodatabase which is compliant with INSPIRE
Directive

10. We have developed a very easy interface that
can be customized for new projects

11. Precise location indicator

12. And different fields of the database that can be tailored for new projects

13. As it is a WEB MAP SERVER we can select and create reference map layers

14. Really easy to explain where data happen!!!

15. Among with data a photograph can also be uploaded

16. Big opportunities to explain success stories!!

17. Why not make a call for citizen science with well
placed QR codes?

18. We want your ideas!
