Introduction
3
Challenges Facing Dar es Salaam
• Rapid urbanization and unplanned growth• Fastest growing city in Africa• Informal settlements (~80% of the city)• Lack of access to basic services
• Traffic congestion• Increased risk to hazards, such as flooding
4
Factors Contributing to Neighborhood Vulnerability
• Waterways constricted
• Severe seasonal flooding• Improper solid waste disposal
5
Why map urban neighborhoods?
Identify the issues available – Flooding
Capture information (data) using simple tools and easy ways
Better decision making due to availability of information.

The Beginning: Tandale Mapping (Ramani Tandale)
2011
Tandale Mapping
• The most socially excluded neighbourhood in Dar es Salaam• 71,250 population in only 90 hectares • They share the toilets and corridors• It is overcrowded, 70,000 people live in 3 square kilometres
9
Tandale Mapping - Multiple Objectives
• Understand the location of critical challenges and critical infrastructure within the neighborhood - solid waste dumping sites, drainage, school, water points etc.
• Provide local university students with experience of field surveying to augment their scholarly training
• Facilitate community discussion and participation for members to express their problems using maps and blogs
• Pioneer new methods of data collection - understand the impact of new participatory/crowdsourced approaches
10
Tandale Mapping - Stakeholders • World Bank who provided funds for the pilot project
• Ardhi University students who helped to train and to help the community to conduct the mapping
• Centre for Community Initiatives (CCI) – Contributed to the participation of community organizations in Tandale including:o Tandale Community who were trained by the students to map their
areas. These are the people who knows most about their neighborhoods.o Ground Truth Initiative – Coordinated all the activities of the projecto Twaweza – Donated the mapping equipment for the mapping to be
successful (GPS, Laptops and Cameras)

Tandale Mapping Results – Locating Issues Identified by the Community• Poor Sanitation• No solid waste collection points• Lack of drainage systems• Poor solid waste• Inaccessibility• Insufficient sanitary facilities
17
Pivoting to Ramani Huria – Community Mapping Across Dar es Salaam
Learning from the Ramani Tandale experience enabled stakeholders to assess how new methodologies can be leveraged to quickly map and survey communities.
Following severe flooding in Dar es Salaam, the Tanzanian Commission for Science and Technology requested an at-scale community mapping project to support flood resilience activities in Dar es Salaam.
19
Ramani Huria – Core Focus
• Mapping of Flooding Risks for Resilience Planning and Drainage
20
Ramani Huria - The use of Drones
•It has more accuracy (1.5 m accuracy)•Is more light•No flying skills required•It map more (45 minutes for 12 km²)
Drone output
1.5 cm imagery
50 cm resolutions imagery

Ramani Huria - Mapping Objectives
• Support risk awareness activities related to urban flooding. • Enable hazard and risk analysis of communities to flooding and
understand exposure ( -> enabled by InaSAFE)• Improve understanding of urban infrastructure to inform
maintenance and planning• Build local skills and capacity. Engage communities, train next
generation of town planners, encourage local leadership

Ramani Huria - Methodology
1.Opening community forum
2.Mapping training
3.Go mapping!
4.Participatory mapping to identify historical flood extents
5.Closing community forum

Community and Ward ExecutiveOfficers celebrate their maps!
Maps now in ward offices
33
Community Mapping at Scale
29 wards fully mapped, drainage in 36home to 3.5 million people
(estimated, 3.01 million in 2012 census)
1000+ km of waterways3000+ km of roads400,000 buildings
1,700 school buildings
(quadrupling size of Tanzania’s OSM dataset)
34
Ramani Huria - Current Status
• Continue mapping• Continue involving stakeholders to better help the community
during the flooding• Involve the Government to help on the process• Work out to stabilize the training to WEOs to know how to do the
mapping for changes
35
Raising awareness on activities related to urban flooding
36
Holding workshops and lectures on use of open data, open tools; OSM, QGIS etc

Ramani Huria – Key Actors
• Universities – Provide Students to support mapping• Municipalities – Cooperate to provide information to ward level• Humanitarian Open Street Maps (Hot) – Contracted to scale up
community mapping to a large number of neighborhoods – Using the same methodology
• Buni Hub – Working space where they train more tech people• Costech – Monitoring of the community mapping project• Red Cross – Provide help during flooding

Lessons Learned and Recommendation
Community Mapping Produces Useful Information• Identify flood prone and other high risk locations
• Identify locations for evacuation and disaster response
• Inexpensive way to collect baseline and diagnostic data for informal
settlements
• Provide updated information in rapidly changing bairros
• Data freely available to government, projects, civil society and
academics
Community Mapping Builds Capacity
• Communities can understand and use data about their own neighborhoods
• Strengthens relationships between communities, municipalities and other partners
• Enables learning about local reality by government, researchers, NGOs/CSOs•Municipalities use bairro data to make better decisions•Local students and activists develop technical skills•Builds open data infrastructure and culture.
Practical Organization is Key to Success
•Involve all stakeholder at all stages in the process•Bairro secretaries are key to linking participation with results•Municipal leaders and staff should specify data needs
• Students and activists should train community members by doing with them not for them
• Accessible tools and technologies like smartphones, handheld GPS, open source software make the process sustainable
• Prepare logistics well to keep mapping teams happy and productive.
