Mapping Invisible and Inaccessible Areas of Brazilian Cities to Reduce Inequalities

Abstract

This account of the experiences of the first YouthMappers chapter in Brazil aims to present the work done by Mapeadores Livres UFPR focusing on the themes of accessibility (SDG 10 Reduced Inequalities) and favela mapping (SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities), bringing as a transversal discussion of the quality of the geospatial data obtained collaboratively. Mapeadores Livres UFPR proposes to be a formative space in collaborative mapping, and the theme of favela mapping reinforces our character as an extension and research group and as a teaching group with the inclusion of this topic in the course developed. YouthMappers functions as an outreach project at the Universidade Federal do Paraná and is an interface between the universe of social organizations and their humanitarian projects and that of universities and their research topics.
