The COVID-19 pandemic has had disproportionate economic consequences on the urban poor, particularly on young people living on the streets. As the pandemic moves from acute to chronic phases, novel methodologies can be used to rapidly co-produce outputs and share learning opportunities with those living in urban poverty. A “story map” focusing on the effects of the pandemic and lockdown was co-produced by UK researchers with street children and youth and practitioners in Harare, Zimbabwe in June 2020. Story maps are web applications combining participant-generated visual media into online templates, with multimedia content supported by narrative accounts. This story map reveals young street participants’ experiences of lockdown, including the effects on their livelihoods, sources of food and support networks. Its purpose is to tell the “story” of street lives, and to provide an advocacy tool and learning resource for policymakers, academics and practitioners working with young homeless people.

Story maps are used as an interactive tool for communication and information dissemination. A web-based application using story mapping technology is presented to explore the Methana peninsula. This volcanic area is characterized by specific volcanic geoforms, unique flora and rich history. The story map combines maps, narrative texts and multimedia content. The spatial data produce thematic maps created by a Geographic Information System on geological data, historical monuments, biodiversity and hiking paths. The purpose is to highlight the distinguishing characteristics of the Methana peninsula, to enable users to interact with maps, texts and images and to inform professional and non-professional users about the particular aspects of volcanic areas.

<p>The actual use of climate services depends on the identification of real user needs and their integration into the service. Thus, for the production of climate services user involvement is a vital component. Descriptions of practical approaches in the scientific literature are rare but necessary in order to gain better user insights and to improve the user-provider interface. In the frame of the ERA4CS project EVOKED, we apply the user-centered Living Lab approach to develop climate services with the objective to support the coastal adaptation process in Flensburg, a city vulnerable to coastal flooding due to sea-level rise. The aim is to transform climate information into valuable and useable climate services for users. In the beginning of the project we identified the climate service user needs of the community. Thereafter, we co-produced a web-based story map in collaboration with the users, as an information tool for the general public. The story map includes information on sea-level rise and its potential impacts and displays information on relevant adaptations options. For the production process of the story map we started with a compilation phase by drafting a first version of the story map from the providers’ perspective, followed by a demonstration and online feedback phase with user involvement. Based on the received feedback, we adjusted the story map to meet user needs. Results showed the need for clearer visualization of e.g. exposed locations in the city and more detailed information on adaptation measures. Preliminary findings indicate that the active provider-user interaction for the climate service may lead to long-term adaptation action.</p>

The introduction of new technologies for historical studies presents an opportunity to make historical studies more accessible to the public. The ArcGIS platform has facilitated this effort and offers interesting ways to do this, including the Story Map program. Part of the cloud-based online ArcGIS platform, the story map application enables the integration of narratives, images, and maps in an easy-to-use format. This paper tries to apply this technology in the theme of Visualization of Biography of Sultan Thaha Saifuddin Based on ArcGIS Story Map in Jambi Province. Many similar writings discuss the biography of Sultan Thaha Saifuddin with a historical approach but do not look at it from a spatial perspective. The focus of historical research only focuses on events and periodization. Therefore, this article describes the biography of Sultan Thaha Saifuddin so that other historians can also apply this technology to their work.

Keberadaan MRT dan LRT Jakarta bertujuan untuk melakukan perubahan pada pola penggunaan transportasi, dari transportasi pribadi menjadi transportasi umum. Berdasarkan data Menteri Perhubungan, hanya 32% warga Jakarta yang sehari-harinya menggunakan transportasi umum. Untuk meningkatkan minat pengguna transportasi umum, maka dibutuhkan informasi yang lengkap mengenai berbagai pilihan akses transportasi. Tujuan kegiatan ini yaitu untuk menampilkan informasi peta jaringan MRT/LRT Jakarta dan peta interaktif story map hasil analisis Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) dan service area pada tiap stasiun sebagai penunjang perencanaan guna mencapai transportasi yang berkelanjutan. Peta jaringan MRT/LRT Jakarta dibuat dengan melakukan proses skematisasi, yaitu mengubah peta konvensional menjadi peta skematik yang umumnya digambar lurus dengan sudut tertentu dan banyak digunakan dalam sistem transportasi kota. Peta interaktif story map dibuat melalui platform ESRI Story Map. Visualisasi analisis indeks TOD pada stasiun MRT Jakarta menggunakan hasil perhitungan yang sudah dilakukan oleh Siburian (2020), sedangkan visualisasi analisis indeks TOD pada stasiun LRT Jakarta merupakan hasil perhitungan yang diolah oleh penulis. Nilai indeks TOD dihitung berdasarkan metode Singh (2015) dengan 8 parameter. Hasil perhitungan menunjukkan bahwa dua stasiun memiliki indeks level tinggi, tiga stasiun dengan level sedang, dan satu stasiun tergolong memiliki level TOD rendah. Kegiatan ini menghasilkan sebuah website yang tersusun atas dua halaman yaitu halaman beranda dan halaman peta. Halaman beranda berisi informasi umum seperti sejarah, tarif, dan waktu perjalanan kereta. Sedangkan halaman peta merupakan halaman inti dari website yang disajikan dalam bentuk peta statik skematik dan peta interaktif story map. Data spasial terkait titik-titik penting, rute perjalanan, kependudukan, serta penggunaan lahan divisualisasikan pada peta sebagai fitur spasial. Berdasarkan hasil evaluasi dari pengguna, website yang dihasilkan mampu menyajikan informasi dengan tepat, baik, dan mudah untuk operasikan.
