Monitoring Nearby Squares (lit. Monitoreo de Plazas de Cercanía)
Monitoring Nearby Squares (Span. Monitoreo de Plazas de Cercanía) is a study carried out by the Citizen Network Our Cordoba (Red Ciudadana Nuestra Córdoba) and Arcor Foundation. It observes several features of green areas called proximity squares in Córdoba city, for example: quantity, equipment, the condition in which they are, whether they are accessible for people with disabilities, the use that is given to them and the perceptions of users. To this end, the aforementioned organizations surveyed citizens and generated a report summarizing the information they collected. The monitoring's results were finally presented in a workshop, in which citizens shared their perspectives on the city's green areas and discussed proposals to address the issues surrounding them, in orther to submit them to the local Executive Branch.
