The Sketch Map Tool is an easy-to-use tool for participatory sketch mapping through offline collection, digitization and georeferencing of local spatial knowledge.

The tool has a variety of applications. For example, do you want to work together with people in a community to map their experience and perception of risk in their neighbourhood in a paper-based format, but still be able to quickly analyse the results digitally? Then, the Sketch Map Tool is exactly what you need!

## Contributing Guideline

## Development Setup

Please refer to the [development setup documentation](/docs/development-setup.md).

## Technical Background and Components

![](/docs/component-diagram.png)

For an outline of how the Sketch Map Tool digitizes sketches (part of the `upload_processing` depicted above) please see [this action diagram](/docs/action-diagram.png).

The [`tasks.py` module](/sketch_map_tool/tasks.py) is recommended as entry point for code exploration.

## Funding

The initial proof of concept has been developed in the project T2S Waterproofing Data which is financially supported by the Belmont Forum

and NORFACE Joint Research Programme on Transformations to Sustainability, co-funded by DLR/BMBF (Federal Ministry of

Education and Research) as part of its Social-Ecological Research funding priority, ESRC/Global Challenges Research

Fund (ES/S006982/1), FAPESP and the European Commission through Horizon 2020. Additional work on the Sketch Map Tool has

been financially supported by the German Red Cross. The ongoing work takes place at [HeiGIT](https://heigit.org).
