Grant proposal edit

6. Please state the title of your proposal.

Historical Crowd-Source Spatial Data for Sustainable Development and Inclusive Mapping

9. Where will this proposal be implemented?

Indonesia

10. Indicate if it is a local, international, or regional proposal and if it involves several countries?

Local

10a. If you have answered international, please write the country names and any other information that is useful for understanding your proposal.

10b. Are there any specific sub-regions or areas where your proposal will be implemented?

We have prioritized areas with parameter OSM and WIki Data gaps about historical infrastructure in a representative from Sumatera, Kalimantan, East Indonesia. The specific location with high disaster-prone, poverty, less education, and vulnerable people.

11. What is the challenge or problem you are addressing and why is this important?

The problem that we are addressing is low awareness and interest of the community, particularly youth, in historical infrastructures. Museums and historical infrastructures lack marketing innovation, as well as disability access. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic further decreases the number of visitors to historical infrastructures. This is why we would like to engage youth to know more about historical infrastructures by involving them in enriching and using the historical infrastructures database in the targeted region. By attending training, conducting field surveys to enrich the information about historical infrastructures, and competing in soliciting innovative ideas and publication of historical data, the community, especially youth would become more aware of historical infrastructures. An impeccable and accessible-to-all database of historical infrastructures is important to make sure that none of them are forgotten and to make sure that the database can be accessed by anyone. Aside from improving awareness, involving youth people in enriching and using the database is a sustainable way to keep the database updated and enriched as they absorb information like sponges and they have a fresh perspective on everything. That is why it’s important to enrich the historical infrastructures database and to involve youth in enriching as well as utilizing the database.

12. What is the main objective of your proposal? Please state why you think partnering with Wikimedia Movement helps to achieve this objective?

This project aims to update and enrich the historical infrastructures database that is accessible to the public with the help of youth. Partnering with Wikimedia Movement helps to achieve this goal because using the Wikimedia platform would guarantee the accessibility of the database is open to all. Wikimedia platform would also enable the participation of the community, especially youth, to update, enrich, and utilize the historical place database.

13. Describe your main strategies to achieve this objective?

Our approach to achieving this objective is by using the power of participatory and collaborative (crowdsource) digital mapping. We plan to use OpenStreetMap (the open and free digital mapping platform) and GLAM (the open and free historical mapping platform, developed by Wikimedia Indonesia), to develop a new digital mapping platform that is more attractive and innovative.

The new digital mapping platform is aimed to be an innovative way of marketing and promoting historical infrastructures (galleries, art, museums, etc) as well as providing new experiences in learning the history and culture in Indonesia, in the form of a virtual journey. People could precisely know the location of a historical place, the history behind them, complete with the photos and captions for each thing inside the historical place. By providing this virtual tour on hand, we hope that it could increase the awareness and interest of the communities, mainly youth in learning and finally visiting historical infrastructures. The platform also will engage more people to contribute. Since the platform is online, then people from any region in Indonesia could contribute without space and distance limitations. The OpenStreetMap also provides a special tag that refers to Wikidata. It allows every historical place written in Wikipedia to be precisely mapped in OpenStreetMap, complete with information about it. The information on the location of each historical object also can be added to the Wikipedia page. This approach absolutely is a perfect collaboration, where on one hand we use OpenStreetMap -the free Wiki World Map, and on the other hand, we use Wikipedia itself.

18. Please tell us more about your target participants.

Community is at the center of POI’s mission and vision. It relies on a community of volunteers throughout Indonesia to develop and maintain country-wide open geospatial data using the OpenStreetMap platform. POI is the key agent offering OSM training capacity and technical expertise in GIS data analysis to leverage OSM data and make it useful and accessible to Indonesia’s wider community so it could support answers.

Specific to this proposal, we are targeting the youth and people with the disability community, where their voices rarely come up. No specific requirement to be involved in the project activities, either as a user or as a contributor. They just need to be able to operate a smartphone or laptop and have an internet connection. Mapping skill is not mandatory, since OpenStreetMap is very easy to use. POI has extensive experience in training people from various backgrounds, not only government and university students, but senior high school students and village communities with less mapping and technical skill, and amazingly they can do it very well. POI also established and managed several social media channels, totally followed by more than 5.000 people who are interested in or actively contribute to OpenStreetMap in Indonesia. By using these social media platforms, participants that are involved in this project could keep in touch with us. Participants could ask, share, and improve their technical skills with each other. POI regularly also conducts community meet-ups. It is really a sustainable way to retain the participants even if the project has ended.

19. Do you have plans to work with other Wikimedia communities, groups or affiliates in your country, or in other countries, to implement this proposal?

Yes

19a. If yes, please tell us about these connections online and offline and how you have let Wikimedia communities know about this proposal.

POI and Wikimedia Indonesia have built a relationship since 2013, Wikimedia Indonesia acted as legal administrative for POI in Indonesia for 5 years. POI established the local organization in 2017 as a nonprofit organization. In the previous year, the employees of POI are also members of Wikimedia Indonesia. We shared learning sessions about open technology and capacity building for communities in Indonesia. Therefore to support the community and local people in 2020, we implemented a language maps project to visualize the interactive map languages in Indonesia. We learned how to gain the community and collaborate with local communities, local governments, and universities. In 2022, Wikimedia Indonesia would like to recommend POI apply for the Wikimedia Alliance Fund. POI proposes to create an interactive mapping system aimed at inventorying and visualizing historical infrastructures in order to support the GLAM Indonesia project through Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, and OpenStreetMap.

19b. If no, please tell us the reasons why it has not been possible to make these connections.

N/A

20. Will you be working with other external non-Wikimedian partners to implement this proposal?

Yes

20a. If yes, please describe these partnerships.

We will implement the project with our local community partners and local universities in the city. POI has proven experience with capacity building with universities since 2014 and we have well-maintained relationships. The local universities and local community become our participants and support the data collection.

20a. If yes, indicate sharing of resources from these partners (in kind support, grants, donations, payments).

The partner will support our technical venue and participants in the project, we will give the intensive to the local community and universities that participate in the project. They will support to government approach that one of the potential partners for adding the historical information. They also will participate in the training and edit-a-thon activities.

21. Please tell us how your organization is structured.

POI consists of members of the association, full-time employees, and the board. The decision-maker related to the daily operation of our organization, such as building partnerships and finding potential opportunities, are coming from the POI Head of Organization and POI Head of Operations. While an important decision, for example, the bylaws and the vision of the organization, its review must be considered by the board and all association members. Full-time employees will involve in the project implementation and achievement of the aim of this project. We will work closely with local universities, local communities, and local government to conduct the project. POI has proven experience in capacity building and open knowledge technology for grassroots organizations.

Learning, Sharing, and Evaluation edit

24. What do you hope to learn from this proposal?

From this proposal we hope to learn how to conduct a collaborative activity with other organization who has the same vision which is to create free and open technology knowledge. All this time, we are only working using an open-source mapping platform. This proposal would give us the opportunity to learn to collaborate with another free and open platform, namely Wiki Data. We also hope to have experience in collecting data with historical infrastructure. Most of our previous experiences were related to disaster management. This experience would definitely expand our work.

Furthermore the availability of data and information that is accessible to the existing situation of historical infrastructures, at community levels. This is imperative since facilities provide public services for the community members. Further, the project will use the collected data and evidence to support improved commitment, collaboration, and practices on accessibility through raising awareness, capacity building, and collaboration establishment between local communities and government.
