Safety Perception Mapathon.
Exploring experiences of our city streets.
The Citizen Safety Mapathon is a collaborative initiative in which groups of volunteers use a specific application designed to report their perception of safety on the streets of the city of Valencia.
They can point out areas where they feel unsafe as well as street harassment situations they have witnessed or experienced.
The application works on both computers and mobile devices, making it easy for a wide audience to participate.
The data collected contributes to the study of perceptions of safety in Valencia and allows the identification of areas that require improvement in terms of lighting, police presence or urban design.
