Map of Destroyed Roadways
The Map of Destroyed Roadways is a collaborative mapping initiative, promoted by Councilman Gaston Crespo. Its purpose is to generate transparency regarding the state of the roads in the city of La Plata. Citizens who are willing to collaborate in the mapping can fill out a form stating the location of the street in question and its condition, classifying the latter into four categories according to the level of deterioration. Participants must provide their name, e-mail and, if they like, attach a picture of the road that is subject to their complaint. The contributions become part of a digital map that is freely accessible.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
