#Digital Map

[projectmemorybench]

Hi all.

I am a 25 year old student nurse and nature devotee who has an interest in memory benches.

With no valuable IT skills, a limited budget and no overall knowledge of creating and maintaining an active online map, I am seeking advice, tips and potentially assistance from those of you who have insight on how to achieve my goal.

In the UK, memory benches are everywhere - wooden or steel seats of engraved love given by those who were privileged enough to have shared life with those who have passed.

I made this tumblr so that I can start keeping a record of the memory benches I come across in my city, Sheffield, tagged here on this account by location, postcode and the dedicatee’s given name. I will record benches I find outside of Sheffield also, just far less frequently or sporadically.

My goal is to eventually pool the knowledge and resources together to, first, create an online directory of recorded memory benches and then hopefully develop into a map once I gain experienced of how to do so.

A like or reblog would be appreciated if you see this, and any and all insight into the matter would be appreciated.

Cheers for reading! Ask box is open or you can email me at memorybenchproject@gmail.com.

Week 12: Crowdsourcing in times of crisis

While social media is convenient, it also causes many problems. However, it can sometimes be a tool that saves lives.

Crowdsourcing is a method of gathering information and ideas from an unspecified number of people through social media and the internet to solve problems.

When the Noto Peninsula earthquake struck Japan on January 1, 2024, social media became a lifesaving tool.

A person in Suzu City, Ishikawa Prefecture, posted on X (formerly Twitter), “Power outage. Can't use the phone. I'm here.” A few minutes later, users who saw the post shared emergency phone numbers and maps of the nearest evacuation centers, and the person was rescued.

This is precisely what we mean by crowdsourcing in times of crisis (utilizing collective intelligence in times of crisis).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SNS and map apps were not originally designed as disaster response tools. However, depending on how they are used, they can serve as infrastructure for citizens to share information in real time during emergencies.

In times of disaster, we digital citizens are not only “consumers of information,” but also “sensors,” “relayers,” and sometimes “supporters.”Taylor (2023)

Japan has evacuation maps for each region, but NHK's national hazard map collects data provided by the government and local authorities, visualizes the risk of flooding for each location, and shares it as a basis for residents' decisions in times of sudden disaster.

However, not all information on social media is necessarily accurate. In the past, there have been cases where false information about bridges affected by landslides was spread. It is our responsibility to carefully evaluate the reliability of such information.

What we can do

・When sharing information, make sure it is accurate before posting.

・Posting with hashtags and location information will make it more likely to be seen by many people.

What not to do

・Avoid posting personal information as much as possible.

・Avoid posting sensational videos.

・Do not share ambiguous information.

IM BACK! ✨🙇🏻‍♀️ I know lately I’ve been absent from my socials. And I’m preparing a content to talk a bit about this with open heart! I needed some time and that’s it. It was refreshing and so good for my mental health.  Briefly speaking, I was again entering on a exhaustion on making art everyday. And constantly doing it was turning really harmful for me. I was starting to get anxious, and with that a burned out sensation was starting to grow. And for a person that had a burn out stress over and over again, we start to be expert on this topic (sadly). After realizing that I might have a mental break over it I stepped back and took a time off. (Still was doing commissions)  Well, that’s it!  Hope you guys like this Sirius Black… kind of representing a bit of my art frustrations! 😂 and hope you guys don’t abandon me yet!

Anytime a map is displayed,

be prepared for it to be out-of-date and, therefore, useless.

# Lacune Map | weiße Ledersitze und Lesben mit Cowboyhüten…

"Einer meiner liebsten Einträge auf der Lacune Karte ist der mit den Raum-Scribbles vom Camelot, einer Disco für Lesben auf St. Pauli. Auf dem Adding Café im Februar 2024 wurden aus einem gemeinsamen Gespräch und Erinnerungen schnelle Skizzen mit Kugelschreiber auf weißem Papier gezeichnet. Wo genau standen die Boxen? War das DJ Pult links oder doch rechts gegenüber vom Eingang? Erinnerungen ergänzen sich, sind auch manchmal im Widerstreit. Jede Person erinnert sich anders und aus dem gemeinsamen Austausch und Darüber reden entstehen wieder neue Erzählungen, die die Erinnerungen der anderen oft mit aufnehmen …

Der Titel des Eintrags "weiße Ledersitze und Lesben mit Cowboyhüten…" ist im gemeinsamen Erinnern aus verschiedenen Zurufen entstanden. Einzelne Bilder und Emotionen blitzen auf und fügen sich zu einem Bild, einem Gefühl, einer Impression zusammen: So war es oder könnte es gewesen sein …

Schön war das Gemeinsame in diesem Moment: Kurz In den eigenen Erinnerungen schwelgen, aber auch in denen der anderen."

Thomas B. (A Thousand Channels) zum Eintrag "weiße Ledersitze und Lesben mit Cowboyhüten…" auf der Lacune Map.

The use of maps and location-based data in various industries is on the rise. This is making GIS (Geographic Information System) software more popular because people need it. These factors are driving the growth of the market for this type of software.

Smartphones and tablets are getting better and smarter thanks to fast technological improvements. For example, smartphones come with maps that can find interesting places for you. People often use these maps for directions and help while driving.

I’ve always thought the Niben River area of the Tamriel map looked like a Weird Little Guy. So I made him and I think I would die for him
