Crowdmapping

Crowdmapping is a process that collects and visualizes information from many people through digital maps. Participants contribute data—like reports of local issues, events, or resource needs—using devices such as smartphones or computers. This collective input creates a detailed, up-to-date map that helps communities, organizations, or authorities understand and respond to real-world conditions quickly. Crowdmapping leverages community knowledge and technology to enhance decision-making, aid in disaster response, urban planning, or monitoring social issues, making information more transparent and accessible through shared geographic visualization.
