Cartagena Mapathon 2019
The Mapatón "Cartagena 2019" was an initiative of the civil society organization "Cartagena How are we doing" (span. Cartagena Como Vamos), with support from the World Bank and the Corona Foundation and inspired by a similar experience in Bogotá coordinated by the Universidad del Rosario. The objective was to trace and identify, with the help of smartphone and GPS applications, all the routes and means of transport in the city. This activity was carried out between June and July 2019 with the support of 11 students from the Universidad Tecnologica de Bolívar, who used Google Surveys, Open GPS Tracker, Flocktracker and WhatsApp to map the combinations of formal and informal means and routes of urban transportation. In this way, failures in transport and shortcomings in connections were identified for the most remote neighborhoods of the city and estimates were made of possible connection routes and the costs that these would have for the local government.
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?
