Digital Mapping Toolkit: Co-designed activities with marginalised groups to promote active and inclusive mobility

The Digital Mapping Toolkit, conceived within the Indonesia-UK PACT project based at the University of York, is designed to democratize urban transport planning by ensuring the integration of marginalized communities’ perspectives. By utilizing participatory digital mapping and a suite of other participatory tools, the toolkit facilitates the collection and analysis of data regarding the mobility needs of vulnerable populations, transforming this data into actionable insights for creating more inclusive and accessible urban transport systems.

Originally tailored for the Indonesian context, the toolkit’s adaptable framework makes it applicable globally, offering invaluable insights for cities worldwide striving to enhance their urban mobility inclusiveness. Its impact is evidenced in Indonesia, where it has empowered communities and influenced policy changes towards more inclusive transport solutions.

Access to the Digital Mapping Toolkit is facilitated through the SEI website. While the toolkit’s guidance materials are freely accessible, users might need specific hardware or software, such as GPS-enabled devices or GIS software, to fully leverage its capabilities.

Engagement opportunities abound, from workshops to public discussions, inviting a wide array of stakeholders to contribute to the toolkit’s evolution and application. For those interested in becoming part of this transformative journey, details on upcoming events and how to get involved are regularly updated on the SEI platform.
