[Teachosm] Humanitarian Mapping in Education

[Yantisa Akhadi]

Hello Tom,

My name is Yantisa Akhadi, I'm part of Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team
(HOT) in Indonesia. I just read your e-mail on Humanitarian Mapping in
educational setting. I might able to tell you several case study from our
experience in Indonesia.

As a background, we're in Indonesia focusing our work teaching people how
to use OpenStreetMap to collect exposure data (assets, public facilities,
road) that would feed into InaSAFE (http://inasafe.org/en/) to produce
realistic natural hazard impact scenario for disaster preparedness.

University students have been playing important role in this regard. One of
success story that we have is when there is a lecturer from one university
in Makassar, Indonesia which kept asking us for a short training in their
university back in 2014. At that time we're still focusing in disaster
management actors such as government agencies, NGOs and local community. It
turns out that from one short training the map in Makassar grow rapidly
throughout the city, since the same lecturer start to give assignment to
the student to map certain part of the city. You can see the growth in this
video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br7QM0hTz6I (Makassar starts around
0:48). Now, the same university is actively involve in supporting city
disaster management agency to help them develop a realistic flood
contingency planning.
