[talk-ph] Barangay Street Mapping in Cebu - Saturday May 5th and Sunday May 13th

[Neil Taylor]

Hi All

 

I am currently working on a project for Cebu City Government which is
being funded by the World Bank.  The aim of the project is to develop
and implement an Open311 (http://open311.org/) civic engagement software
application that will enable members of the public in two trial Barangay
areas (Luz and Basak San Nicolas) to submit fault reports about
pot-holes in the street and missing or broken street lights by SMS text
message.  These SMS text reports will be checked and verified by a team
of people working at each Barangay Hall before they are placed on a map
base, using a web-based software tool similar to www.fixmystreet.com,
and forwarded to the relevant local government departments (DEPW, DPWH,
DPS).  If the trial is successful then the initiative may be deployed
across the Metro-Cebu area.

 

We are planning to start testing the software in the two pilot Barangays
later this summer, but beforehand we want to update the OSM for these
two Barangays.  In particular we are keen to focus on the walking routes
through the Barangays which are not already shown in the OSM.  This will
help the engineers at each organisation to locate reported faults and
attend to them once we have got the software up and running.

 

I apologise that it is short notice (the following activities were only
confirmed just yesterday), but we are running two Barangay mapping
workshops with local residents from each Barangay in Cebu on:

 

*         Saturday 5th May - meet at 11:00am at Luz Barangay Hall, on
Arch. Reyes Avenue, and;

*         Sunday 13th May - meet at 11:00am at Basak San Nicolas
Barangay Hall on Tagunol Street.

 

If you are in the area and fancy coming along to get involved, or
live/pass through these Barangays and can contribute to the mapping
activity some other time, then please do pitch in.  If you have any
further questions about the project then please don't hesitate to get in
touch.

 

Best regards

Neil
