Ejercicio de mapeo

Para recibir el certificado de finalización del curso, es necesario completar un ejercicio práctico de mapeo utilizando una de las herramientas digitales presentadas en el curso, ya sea la aplicación Walkability (Unidad I/Módulo 2), Route2School (Unidad I/Módulo 3), o la caja de herramientas EcoZonas (Unidad 2/Módulo 2).

Instrucciones

  1. Elige una herramienta: Selecciona la app EcoZonas, Route2School o Walkability.
  2. Prueba la herramienta: Selecciona un área y aplica la herramienta en un contexto real. Puede ser un espacio público, como una calle, un parque o un barrio, o incluso un campus universitario: ¡elige un lugar que te interese! Intenta utilizar la herramienta con un objetivo específico en mente; por ejemplo, puedes mapear problemas relacionadas con la caminabilidad o centrarte en analizar las zonas inseguras. Puedes trabajar de forma individual, en grupo o con una comunidad local.
  3. Prepara una presentación: Resume tu trabajo en una breve presentación (PPT o PDF, 5 diapositivas) que incluya:
    – La herramienta elegida y el motivo por el que la has seleccionado.
    – La ubicación y un breve contexto del lugar donde se probó la herramienta. Incluye imágenes y capturas de pantalla de los puntos que has mapeado. Esperamos que hayas mapeado al menos 5 puntos.
    – Cómo se utilizó la herramienta (proceso y participantes involucrados).
    – Los principales resultados o conclusiones. Puedes incluir propuestas o ideas de mejora si es que tienes alguna.
    – Reflexiones finales sobre lo aprendido y cómo se podría aplicar la herramienta en proyectos futuros.

Una vez completada, sube tu presentación en la sección de tareas de la plataforma.

  2. Test the tool: Select an area and apply the tool in a real-life context. This could be a public space, such as a street, park or neighbourhood, or even a university campus, choose a place that interests you! Try using the tool with a specific aim in mind; for example, you could map issues related to walkability or focus on analysing unsafe areas. You can work individually, in a group or with a local community. 
  3. Prepare a presentation: Summarise your work in a short presentation (PPT or PDF, 5 slides) that includes:
    – The tool chosen and your reason for selecting it.
    – The location and brief context of where it was tested. Include pictures and screenshots of the points you have mapped. We expect at least 5 points mapped.
    – How the tool was used (process and participants involved).
    – The main results or findings. You may include proposals or ideas for improvement if you have any.
    – Your final reflections on what you learned and how the tool could be applied in future projects.
