Abstract

Put Your Money Where Your Map Is: Token Based Spatial Prioritization
Track: Web Apps
Authors: Ken Buja

The philosophy of “map once, use many times” emphasizes collaboration among multiple organizations, especially when limited funding restricts data collection. We are building a web app with Esri’s JavaScript API to help collaborators prioritize grid cells of the greatest need. Users are given a limited number of tokens that they then assign to key cells and indicate management issues driving the data needs. Data will be used to identify high priority areas to direct future data collection.
