Humanitarian Mapping
The Mapping of Precarious Settlements Cartagena was a project developed in 2015 with the objective of identifying and locating on a map the houses located in an informal settlement on Léon Island that has high levels of poverty. Through the generation of cartographic data with the support of the settlers themselves and the help of technological tools and activities, it seeks to give visibility to the community and denounce the living conditions of the families there. The project was developed by the Techo Colombia organization and the Humanitarian Mapping group of the Open Street Map Colombia organization, with whom it was possible to map the entire settlement of the Island of Léon, to make the cartographic data available to the State entities or any organization interested in generating improvements for Cartagena.
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?
