Sessions
This project applies open-source GIS tools to extend and quantify prior qualitative research on how park design affects safety perceptions for women and girls.
This introductory workshop covers essential web accessibility principles for researchers creating public web applications, particularly geospatial tools. No prior accessibility experience required. Learn basic inclusive design practices, practical implementation techniques, and be inspired to put accessibility first when designing applications!
This workshop teaches sustainable open-source dashboard development using free tools with a focus on long-term archival strategies. Participants learn about accessible, maintainable dashboards that survive project funding cycles through proper documentation, containerisation, and community-driven maintenance approaches, ensuring content remains available beyond initial development periods.
