Integrated Deprived Area Mapping System (IDEAMAPS) Network

导言：联合国估计，未来30年，地球上将增加25亿人。这些人口中的很大一部分将居住在包括贫民窟、非正式住区和住房不足地区在内的贫困社区，并面临一系列挑战，从没有保障的使用权到无规划的住房、污染、环境风险和社会排斥。关于这类社区的空间数据通常是不可用的。在它们确实存在的场合，它们很快就会过时。如果没有关于贫困社区的地理位置(位置和范围)及其居民所面临的具体社会和自然环境条件的最新信息，这些对健康和社会结果的影响就无法追踪，也就无法制定有效的干预措施。然而，目前还没有系统的、可扩展的方法来绘制整个城市的贫困社区地图，特别是在低收入和中等收入国家(LMIC)。方法：该项目将设计一个综合贫困地区测绘系统(IDEAMAPS)，该系统将突破目前绘制贫民窟、非正规住区和住房不足地区地图的每一种方法的界限并克服其弱点。这将通过联合由研究人员、技术专家和社会利益攸关方组成的多部门和跨学科网络来实现，他们将合作共同设计IDEAMAPS方法，以绘制和解决邻里匮乏问题，并在内罗毕、阿克拉和拉各斯进行试点研究，我们在这些地方有强大的伙伴关系并可以获得现有数据(见下文细节)。这一办法将包括三个部分的创新组合：(A)不同规模的利益攸关方的参与；(B)旨在整合和利用实地地图准确性的建模和数据基础设施技术；(C)综合框架，其中界定了与可持续发展相关的区分邻里匮乏的评估标准。工作组：WP1。利益攸关方参与--这一工作包(WP)引导各部门(如环境、人口、社区、政策)的利益攸关方以既有的和创新的方式参与，以进一步加深对城市邻里匮乏的理解，并创造有利的环境，以便能够实施贫困地区测绘系统。综合框架--这将致力于综合关键要求和IDEAMAPS方法的共同议程。它将首先整理研究小组当前和过去项目的现有文献审查：具体地说，改善贫民窟健康合作、城市公平调查、百万社区倡议、非洲城市人口模式建模、阿克拉妇女健康研究以及标准化拉各斯和阿克拉的城市一级数据收集。WP3。建模和数据基础设施技术。WP3整理了现有的数据和方法，以测试潜在的IDEAMAPS方法。基于WP 2中开发的剥夺领域框架和WP1利益相关者的意见，我们将开发新的区域级别的环境(例如洪水风险)和社会数据集(例如露天下水道)，并评估能够单独捕获剥夺领域的建模方法，以及整体剥夺“贫民度”指数。WP2还将以不同的规模调查针对最终用户的不同可视化。WP 2中制定的评估标准将用于评估和比较模型输出。预期输出：这些工作包将为利益相关者参与的方法、框架和技术奠定基础，以便在未来三年扩大规模，以充实综合贫困地区地图系统(IDEAMAPS)，使其能够生成更准确和可用的地图，并将其整合到社区升级中，推动实现可持续发展目标的进展。

Introduction:The UN estimates that 2.5 billion people will be added to the planet over the next 30 years. A large portion of these populations will reside in deprived neighbourhoods including slums, informal settlements, and areas of inadequate housing and face a range of challenges from insecure tenure, to unplanned housing, pollution, environmental risk, and social exclusion. Spatial data on such neighbourhoods are commonly not available. On the occasions that they do exist, they quickly become out-dated. Without up-to-date information on the geography (location and extent) of deprived neighbourhoods and the specific social and physical environmental conditions faced by their inhabitants, the impact of these on health and social outcomes are not traceable and the development of effective interventions is not achievable. However, there is currently no systematic, scalable approach to map deprived neighbourhoods across cities, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Methodology:The project will design an Integrated Deprived Area Mapping System (IDEAMAPS) that will push the boundaries and overcome the weaknesses of each of these current approaches to mapping slums, informal settlements, and areas of inadequate housing. This will be accomplished by joining up a multisectoral and transdisciplinary network of researchers, technologists and societal stakeholders who will collaborate to co-design the IDEAMAPS approach to map and address neighbourhood deprivation and perform pilot studies in Nairobi, Accra, and Lagos, where we have existing strong partnerships and access to existing data (see details below). This approach will consist of an innovative combination of three components: (a) engagement of stakeholders in different scales; (b) modelling and data infrastructure techniques that aim to integrate and leverage the accuracy of field-based maps; (c) an integrative framework, which defines assessment criteria for characterising neighbourhood deprivation in connection with sustainable development. Work Groups:WP1. Stakeholder Engagement- This work package (WP) leads engagement of stakeholders across sectors (e.g. EO, demography, community, policy) in both established and innovative ways to further develop understanding of urban neighbourhood deprivation, and to create enabling environments in which a deprived area mapping system can be implemented.WP2. Integrative Frameworks- This will be dedicated to the synthesis of key requirements and a shared agenda for the IDEAMAPS approach. It will begin with collating existing literature reviews from current and past projects of the research team: specifically, the Improving Health in Slums Collaborative, Surveys for Urban Equity, Million Neighborhoods Initiative, Modelling African Urban Population Patterns, Accra women's health study, and Standardizing City-Level Data-Gathering in Lagos and Accra. WP3. Modelling and Data Infrastructure Techniques. This WP3 collate existing data and methods to test potential IDEAMAPS approaches. Based on the domains of deprivation framework developed in WP 2 with input from stakeholders of WP1, we will develop new area-level environmental (e.g. flood risk) and social datasets (e.g. open sewers), and evaluate modelling approaches that can capture domains of deprivation individually, as well as an overall deprivation "slumness" index. WP2 will also investigate different visualisation targeted at end-users in different scales. The evaluation criteria developed in WP 2 will be used to assess and compare model outputs.Expected Output:The work packages will create a foundation of stakeholder engagement approaches, frameworks, and techniques to scale-up over the next three years to flesh out an integrated deprivation area mapping system (IDEAMAPS) with a capacity to generate more accurate and usable maps and integrate them into community upgrading and advancing progress toward sustainable development goal.
