DESCRIPTION:The availability and quality of geospatial data are key enablin
 g factors for sustainable tourism policies\, especially in rural and inner
  areas where datasets are often incomplete\, outdated\, or fragmented. The
 se limitations affect both policy-making processes and the accessibility o
 f territorial resources.\nIn this framework\, the Pilot Action “Map&Go
 ”\, launched by an interdisciplinary group of the Politecnico di Torino 
 (Systemic Design\, Real Estate Appraisal and Project Evaluation\, and Geom
 atics)\, focuses on defining collaboration for open geospatial datasets th
 rough participatory approaches\, adopting consolidated tools and methods o
 f OpenStreetMap (OSM). The Action is part of the Interreg Europe SYSTOUR p
 roject (https://www.interregeurope.eu/systour)\, aiming to improve the acc
 essibility and usability of tourism-related data to support regional polic
 y instruments. \nBuilding on the results of the SYSTOUR co-design process\
 , “Map&Go”  enriches the SYSTOUR GIS for complexity maps by enhancing 
 existing regional geospatial datasets and maps by integrating new informat
 ion and objects related to outdoor facilities\, accessibility\, and mobili
 ty infrastructures\, as well as cultural\, gastronomic\, and other place-b
 ased tourism experiences. This supports regional policy implementation pro
 cesses and contributes to the development of sustainable tourism solutions
 \, in line with the emerging European Tourism Data Space. It adopts a capa
 city-building approach based on a “training of trainers” model. Two we
 binars (about online and onsite tools topics) and an in-person mapping par
 ty in Turin (at the Valentino Castle\, hosting the Department of Architect
 ure and Design) were organised to transfer knowledge on OSM data structure
 s\, different editing tools/apps (such as Id\, OsmAnd\, FieldPapaer\, Map/
 StreetComplete\, Mappillary\, …) and mapping pipelines\, as well as to d
 efine shared data models for tourism-related information. \nAfter this\, p
 articipatory mapping activities are being implemented across the involved 
 partner regions (in three different countries across Europe: Finland\, Fra
 nce\, and Italy)\, including field mapping parties and remote mapathons. T
 hese activities involve local stakeholders and OSM communities in the acqu
 isition\, validation\, and publication of geospatial data\, ensuring both 
 data quality and local relevance.  The collected data will support the dat
 a-driven design of sustainable tourism solutions\, with a focus on ‘tour
 ism for all’\, slow mobility\, accessibility\, and the valorisation of l
 ocal resources. The final phase will consist of joint field visits involvi
 ng all partners\, aimed at testing the mapped experiences and itineraries 
  and evaluating them  according to economic feasibility criteria. \nThis a
 pproach is particularly relevant in rural areas\, where spatial knowledge 
 is often not formalised in existing datasets. Participatory mapping enable
 s the transformation of this knowledge into structured\, open data\, while
  fostering local capacity building and engagement.\nThe pilot thus provide
 s a transferable methodology that combines collaborative mapping\, open-so
 urce tools\, and capacity-building to address the lack of data\, to suppor
 t evidence-based policies and define sustainable tourism solutions in rura
 l contexts.
