What is it all about?
People GIS Communication Understanding - historical aspects in a spatial context Building consciousness within today's spatial context Identifying - Spatial Problems Communicating - Spatial Problems and Solutions Capacity Building
the Citizen’s Spatial Context … the missing gap Social Networking
Expert GIS
“Collaborative Spatial Problem Solving”
… by citizens
Volunteered Geographic Information, Web 2.0, Participation and Empowerment CEGeoIC 2013
Public Participatory GIS (PPGIS) ! mid-1990s non-expert stakeholders in spatial planning processes collaborative mapping initiatives
!
“real-world(time)� GIS
For a long time, collaborative mapping initiatives dominated real-world PPGIS applications!!
Volunteered Geographic Information, Web 2.0, Participation and Empowerment CEGeoIC 2013
geospatial web-platforms ! enabling citizen participation in the management of their living environment ! Mostly related to lack of public services

The GeoCitizen-framework and the GeoCitizen-platform CEGeoIC 2013
The Geocitizens’ View “Geociudadano”
Who is GIS?
“It is about the citizen that lives in a neighborhood, and needs certain issues/problems/ideas about his living space to be addressed/solved/designed collectively!”
The GeoCitizen-framework and the GeoCitizen-platform CEGeoIC 2013
The Platform
What is Geociudadano?
“… provides the citizen with the opportunity to identify, report, discuss, solve and monitor problems related planning at a local level, merging geoweb technologies and social media in one single, comprehensive and interactive tool for participatory spatial planning.”

QUITO – “Mobilidad para Todos¨
VALLE DE TUMBACO – “Modelo del Buen Vivir¨

Case Study 1: Spatial Decision Making in the municipality of Tumbaco, Ecuador • supporting collective urban planning within a rapidly growing suburban area of Quito which lacks information and support by public administration Case Study 2: Mitigating the effects of climate change in rural communities, Tanzania & Colombia • explaining climate and crop science to communities • empower farmers to be part of the global effort to mitigate climate change
Aplicaciones en la AMAZONIA CEGeoIC 2014
APORTE para el monitoreo participativo del manejo de los BOSQUES en la AMAZONIA Ecuatoriana: Con el Geociudadano, tanto expertos, guarda-parques, funcionarios, como los habitantes de la selva amazónica pueden compartir información georeferenciada en línea sobre el estado del bosque, actividades y patrones de deforestación y reforestación. Fuera de llenar un registro desde su computadora o celular, pueden entrar en un dialogo en línea con sus colegas, miembros de la comunidad, otras comunidades y documentando el proceso de búsqueda de soluciones a la situación actual, pueden hacer propuestas, y publicar la información respectiva acerca de cada punto de monitoreo colectivo. En este momento, se capacita un grupo de 20 técnicos locales y 7 nacionalidades amazónicas en el uso del GEOciudadano "Amazonia" dentro de un curso de GESTION TERRITORIAL y SIG en el Geocentro de la Universidad San Francisco de Quito. http://amazongisnet.blogspot.com
