Innovative Approaches to Anticipatory Mapping in Bobonaro, Timor Leste

on YouTube ↗06m

" summary

Community teams map Bobonaro using OpenStreetMap and analyze hazards in QGIS, producing three activity areas: education, community-based mapping, and data preparation for government decision making. They build printed evacuation maps and routing for floods and landslides, integrate OSM layers into uMap + Android reporting for real-time community reports, and run a paid Open Mapping Guru Fellowship to train youth. Outcomes include mapped evacuation centers, verified critical facilities, and routine community reporting.
