Rescuing Mailboxes Collaborative Mapping
The collaborative mapping rescuing mailboxes is an initiative of the NGO " Rescuing Mailboxes ", which seeks to geolocate mailboxes throughout the country. The mapping is available online and is updated by the NGO's staff. Its aim is to provide information about the location and condition of mailboxes, to later on repair them if necessary, and to promote their use and recognition as part of the cities' heritage. Those who wish to participate in the mapping must send the location of the mailbox in question and a picture of it to the NGO's social networks, which then add the record to the digital map.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
