<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Early this morning, I experienced a situation that proves just how fragile managing a community is today. Our public VallaBus group, a space of nearly 150 people that took me years of hard work to cultivate and keep alive, was completely banned out of nowhere.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The reason? During the night, a malicious bot managed to join and posted illegal content. As soon as we noticed, we kicked the bot and deleted the message. However, Telegram&#8217;s automated system had already taken action: we received a notification of a total group ban.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><a href="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen.png"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="919" src="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen-1024x919.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2518" style="aspect-ratio:1.1142554365105486;width:310px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen-1024x919.png 1024w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen-300x269.png 300w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen-768x690.png 768w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen.png 1058w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fortunately, later this morning, our group was restored. They did this without sending us any notification or explanation whatsoever following our appeal; it simply became active again. While this is a huge relief, the shock of seeing years of work vanish in a second forces me to raise the alarm about a severe structural flaw in the platform.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I want to make one thing absolutely clear: the content posted was CSAM (child sexual abuse material). These atrocities must be relentlessly prosecuted and eliminated. The problem isn&#8217;t that Telegram takes action against it; the problem is why they do it with such blind automation that leaves you completely defenseless.<a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yd35l0r91o"></a>?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The explanation lies in the new European legislation, specifically the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Services_Act">Digital Services Act (DSA)</a> and strict EU regulations to combat CSAM. These laws force major platforms to remove illegal content almost immediately. The implications are severe: failure to do so results in multi-million euro fines and even direct criminal liability for executives, something Telegram&#8217;s founder already experienced in 2024.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><a href="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen-1.png"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="767" src="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen-1-1024x767.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2520" style="aspect-ratio:1.335063937279188;width:338px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen-1-1024x767.png 1024w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen-1-300x225.png 300w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen-1-768x575.png 768w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen-1.png 1512w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To comply with this law and avoid risks, Telegram has implemented a «zero tolerance» automated moderation system that shoots first and asks questions later. This poorly executed, nuance-free implementation has created the perfect attack vector. Today, an attacker doesn&#8217;t join your group to participate; they join to inject illegal material, trigger the automated reporting bots, and kill your community.?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And this brings us to the root of the problem. For years, Telegram has failed to implement any real improvements to its moderation systems and user controls for administrators. Instead, they have poured all their resources into integrating crypto assets, monetization features, mini-apps, and things that regular people never asked for. They are deep into a clear process of <em>enshittification</em>, progressively worsening the platform to extract more value, which, sooner or later, will take its toll on them.?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Given this situation, at VallaBus and other groups I help coordinate are analyzing what definitive measures we can take to bulletproof ourselves in the future. For now, we have temporally restricted the sending of photos and videos in the group.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Update</strong>: The only solution found so far is to set up a custom bot in your group that allows you to delete photos and videos from users who have not been active for a certain period of time. I was able to implement this because I have bots created with <a href="https://n8n.io">n8n</a>, but it is a tedious task that is not within the reach of every group administrator.</p>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My urgent recommendation to any administrator of a public Telegram group is to do exactly the same: <strong>restrict the sending of media files immediately</strong>. Keep this restriction in place until you find a solution (through bots or settings) that allows you to grant image-sending permissions solely and exclusively to trusted, veteran users.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To be clear, I&#8217;m not asking for less control over illegal content. I&#8217;m asking that this control not be so poorly designed that it allows anyone to destroy the hard work and legitimate communities of others with total impunity, all while the platform looks the other way counting its cryptocurrencies.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Esta madrugada he vivido una situación que demuestra lo frágil que es gestionar una comunidad hoy en día. Nuestro <a href="https://t.me/vallabusapp">grupo público de VallaBus</a>, un espacio de casi 150 personas que ha costado años cultivar y mantener vivo con mucho esfuerzo, fue bloqueado de un plumazo.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">¿El motivo? Durante la noche, un bot malicioso logró entrar y publicó contenido ilegal. En cuanto nos dimos cuenta, eliminamos al bot y borramos el mensaje. Sin embargo, el sistema automatizado de Telegram ya había actuado: recibimos una notificación de bloqueo total.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><a href="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="919" src="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen-1024x919.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2518" style="aspect-ratio:1.1142554365105486;width:323px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen-1024x919.png 1024w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen-300x269.png 300w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen-768x690.png 768w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen.png 1058w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Afortunadamente, a lo largo de la mañana de hoy nos han restaurado el grupo. Lo han hecho sin enviarnos absolutamente ninguna notificación ni explicación tras nuestra reclamación, simplemente ha vuelto a estar activo. Aunque es un alivio, el susto de ver desaparecer años de trabajo en un segundo me obliga a dar la voz de alarma sobre un fallo estructural muy grave en la plataforma.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Quiero dejar algo absolutamente claro: el contenido publicado era CSAM (material de abuso sexual infantil). Este tipo de aberraciones deben ser perseguidas y eliminadas sin miramientos. El problema no es que Telegram actúe contra ello; el problema es por qué lo hace con una automatización tan ciega que te deja indefenso.<a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yd35l0r91o"></a>?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">La explicación está en la nueva legislación europea, concretamente en la <a href="https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ley_de_Servicios_Digitales">Ley de Servicios Digitales</a> (DSA) y las estrictas normativas de la UE para combatir el CSAM. Estas leyes obligan a las grandes plataformas a eliminar contenido ilegal de forma casi inmediata. Las implicaciones son severas: si no lo hacen, se enfrentan a multas multimillonarias e incluso a responsabilidades penales directas para sus directivos, algo que el fundador de Telegram ya experimentó en 2024.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><a href="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen-1.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="767" src="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen-1-1024x767.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2520" style="aspect-ratio:1.335063937279188;width:386px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen-1-1024x767.png 1024w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen-1-300x225.png 300w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen-1-768x575.png 768w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/imagen-1.png 1512w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Para cumplir con esta ley y evitar riesgos, Telegram ha implementado un sistema de moderación automatizada de «tolerancia cero» que dispara primero y no pregunta después. Esta implementación, mal ejecutada y sin matices, ha creado un vector de ataque perfecto. Hoy en día, un atacante no entra a tu grupo para participar, entra para inyectar material ilegal, forzar el reporte automático y tumbar tu comunidad.?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Y aquí llegamos a la raíz del problema. Telegram lleva años sin implementar prácticamente ninguna mejora real en sus sistemas de moderación y control de usuarios para los administradores. En su lugar, han dedicado todos sus recursos a integrar criptoactivos, funciones de monetización, miniaplicaciones y características que la gente normal no hemos pedido. Están inmersos en un claro proceso de <em>enshittification</em>, empeorar progresivamente la plataforma para extraer más valor, que, antes o después, les va a pasar factura.?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ante esta situación, en <a href="https://vallabus.com/">VallaBus</a> y en otros grupos públicos que ayudo a coordinar estamos analizando qué medidas definitivas podemos tomar para blindarnos en el futuro. Por el momento, hemos restringido temporalmente el envío de fotos y vídeos en los grupos.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em><strong>Actualización</strong>: La única solución encontrada de momento es configurar un bot personalizado en tu grupo que te permita borrar fotos y vídeos de los usuarios que no tengan cierta actividad. Yo lo he podido implementar porque tengo bots creados con <a href="https://n8n.io/">n8n</a>, pero es algo tedioso que no está a mano de cualquier administrador de grupos.</em></p>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mi recomendación urgente para cualquier administrador de un grupo público en Telegram es que haga exactamente lo mismo: <strong>restringid el envío de archivos multimedia de inmediato</strong>. Mantened esta restricción hasta que encontréis una solución (mediante bots o ajustes) que os permita otorgar el permiso de enviar imágenes única y exclusivamente a usuarios veteranos y de confianza.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Quiero ser claro, no estoy pidiendo menos control contra el contenido ilegal. Estoy pidiendo que ese control no esté tan mal diseñado que permita a cualquiera destruir el trabajo y las comunidades legítimas de otros con total impunidad, mientras la plataforma mira hacia otro lado contando sus criptomonedas.</p>

<p>After two decades leading open/libre software initiatives and open communities, and continuing <a href="https://www.nukeador.com/14/11/2024/open-innovation-and-citizen-collaboration-my-three-projects-of-2024/">my citizen participation projects from last year</a>, in 2025 I am focusing my efforts on strengthening the social fabric by establishing an online citizen community in my city, Valladolid (Spain).</p>
<p><strong>In just three months, we have gone from an idea to a platform with more than 1500 members</strong>, generating tens of thousands of messages weekly and attracting the participation of key people in the city, such as neighborhood associations, city council representatives and other relevant political and civil figures. This project aims to be a digital meeting place where neighbors can debate, collaborate and act in favor of our city.</p>
<h2 class="“wp-block-heading”">Aldea Pucela: Uniting Valladolid in the digital age</h2>
<p>The idea of <strong><a href="https://aldeapucela.com/">Aldea Pucela</a></strong> arose from the need for a permanent and organized space for local conversation, similar to the old Terra or IRC chats. In collaboration with <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/stormtrooperva.bsky.social">David</a>, who started the Telegram group, and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/yustin.bsky.social">Yustin</a>, our local influencer who has boosted its diffusion, we have managed in record time to create an active, diverse community that is constantly growing and adding value to the residents of Valladolid.</p>

</div>

<h3 class="“wp-block-heading”"><strong>Structure and dynamization of the community</strong></h3>
<p>My role in <a href="https://aldeapucela.com/">Aldea Pucela</a> has been to facilitate and structure its growth, combining my experience in online communities with the collective knowledge of its participants. From organizing topics to integrating technological tools, my approach has been to provide a solid framework that allows neighbors to connect and collaborate effectively.</p>
<ul class="“wp-block-list”">
<li><strong>Rapid expansion and engagement</strong>: In just three months, we have surpassed 1500 members, with sustained growth thanks to strategies of active participation and revitalization.</li>
<li><strong>Thematic organization</strong>: We defined subtopics in <a href="https://t.me/AldeaPucela">the Telegram chat</a> that range from news and politics to sports and gastronomy, facilitating focused discussions.</li>
<li><strong>Promoting participation</strong>: We designed <a href="https://aldeapucela.com/normas/">participation rules and good practices</a> based on my experience with online communities, ensuring an inclusive and constructive space, with informative debates and accurate and reliable information.</li>
</ul>

</h3>
<h3 class="“wp-block-heading”"><strong>Integration of technological tools</strong></h3>
<p>Technology has been key to enriching the community experience and optimizing communication:</p>
<ul class="“wp-block-list”">
<li><strong>Automation of information</strong>: I developed “Pucelo Bot”, a bot that not only integrates <a href="https://t.me/AldeaPucela/3706">local news</a> and <a href="https://t.me/AldeaPucela/1298">traffic alerts</a> in the chat, but also connects <a href="https://foro.aldeapucela.com/">the forum</a> with the Telegram chat and automatically publishes everything that happens in the community in <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/pucelobot.aldeapucela.com">a BlueSky account</a>, expanding its reach.</li>
<li><strong>Complementary forum and events calendar</strong>: We created a forum at <a href="https://aldeapucela.com">aldeapucela.com</a> for those who prefer a more leisurely interaction. In addition, we have integrated <a href="https://foro.aldeapucela.com/c/eventos/6">an events section</a> where any resident can publish local activities and, thanks to Pucelo Bot, they can be automatically imported from the chat to the forum if desired.</li>
<li><strong>Management tools and citizen action</strong>: We have implemented <a href="https://participa.aldeapucela.com/">a platform</a> to make it easy for residents to submit complaints and suggestions to the town council in a simple and effective way, in a few seconds.</li>
<li><strong>Moderation and security</strong>: To ensure that Aldea Pucela remains a space focused on residents and their real needs, and not on commercial promotion or attracting sponsors, I have integrated mechanisms into the bot for reporting inappropriate content to immediately alert human moderators so that they can act quickly.</li>
</ul>

<h3 class="“wp-block-heading”"><strong>Outstanding initiatives</strong></h3>
<p>We have promoted activities that strengthen cohesion and citizen action:</p>
<ul class="“wp-block-list”">
<li><strong>Live debates with real impact</strong>: We organize <a href="https://t.me/AldeaPucela/14380">audio talks</a> on key issues for the city. <a href="https://foro.aldeapucela.com/t/debate-adios-presupuestos-participativos/170">Our first debate on participatory budgeting</a> rejected by the city council brought together residents, associations and political representatives, demonstrating the power of the community to amplify voices and promote collective action.
<li><strong>Citizen campaigns</strong>: As a result of these discussions, we developed tools that allow citizens to <a href="https://participa.aldeapucela.com/">organize and present complains</a> to the city council in an effective manner.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="“wp-block-heading”">Challenges and opportunities</h2>
<p>One of the biggest challenges ahead of us is the integration of traditional neighborhood associations, who are used to face-to-face dynamics, into this digital environment. However, our structure is allowing both young people and more veteran groups to find value in the community, turning it into an intergenerational bridge.</p>
<h2 class="“wp-block-heading”">Looking into the future</h2>
<p><a href="https://aldeapucela.com/">Aldea Pucela</a> is demonstrating its potential as a catalyst for change in Valladolid. Now, we want to continue growing, generating valuable content, facilitating digital activism and serving as a model for other cities interested in strengthening their social fabric through digital platforms.</p>
<p><strong>If you are from Valladolid, we invite you to join <a href="https://aldeapucela.com/">Aldea Pucela</a> and be an active part of this community</strong>. If you belong to another locality and are interested in replicating this initiative, <a href="https://www.nukeador.com/contacto/">I am available to collaborate</a> in the construction of online citizen communities that promote participation and the common good.</p>
<h2 class="“wp-block-heading”">Acknowledgements</h2>
<p>None of this would be possible without the collaboration and effort of many people. I would especially like to thank <strong>David</strong>, who started the Telegram group, and <strong>Yustin</strong>, whose promotion has been key to the growth of the community. But above all, my greatest recognition goes to <strong>all the members of Aldea Pucela</strong>, who every day contribute value, content and debates that make this community a living and relevant space for Valladolid.</p>
<p>Thank you for making it possible.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Después de dos décadas liderando iniciativas de software libre y comunidades abiertas, y continuando <a href="https://www.nukeador.com/14/11/2024/innovacion-abierta-y-colaboracion-ciudadana-mis-tres-proyectos-de-2024/">mis proyectos de participación ciudadana del año pasado</a>, en 2025 estoy centrando mis esfuerzos en fortalecer el tejido social mediante la creación de una comunidad vecinal online en mi ciudad, Valladolid (España). </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>En solo tres meses, hemos pasado de una idea a una plataforma con más de 1500 miembros</strong>, generando decenas de miles de mensajes a la semana y atrayendo la participación de figuras clave de la ciudad, como asociaciones vecinales, concejales del ayuntamiento y otras figuras políticas y civiles relevantes. Este proyecto busca ser un espacio de encuentro digital donde los vecinos puedan debatir, colaborar y actuar en pro de nuestra ciudad.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Aldea Pucela: Uniendo a Valladolid en la era digital</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">La idea de <strong><a href="https://aldeapucela.com/">Aldea Pucela</a></strong> surgió de la necesidad de contar con un espacio permanente y organizado para la conversación local, similar a los antiguos chats de Terra o IRC. En colaboración con <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/stormtrooperva.bsky.social">David</a>, quien inició el grupo de Telegram, y <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/yustin.bsky.social">Yustin</a>, nuestro influencer local que ha potenciado su difusión, hemos logrado en tiempo récord crear una comunidad activa, diversa, en constante crecimiento y que está aportando valor a los vecinos y vecinas de Valladolid.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Estructura y dinamización de la comunidad</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mi papel en <a href="https://aldeapucela.com/">Aldea Pucela</a> ha sido el de facilitar y estructurar su crecimiento, combinando mi experiencia en comunidades online con el conocimiento colectivo de sus participantes. Desde la organización de temáticas hasta la integración de herramientas tecnológicas, mi enfoque ha sido proporcionar un marco sólido que permita a los vecinos y vecinas conectar y colaborar de forma efectiva.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Expansión y engagement rápido</strong>: En solo tres meses, hemos superado los 1500 miembros, con un crecimiento sostenido gracias a estrategias de participación activa y dinamización.</li>



<li><strong>Organización de temáticas</strong>: Definimos subtemas en <a href="https://t.me/AldeaPucela">el chat de Telegram</a> que abarcan desde noticias y política hasta deportes y gastronomía, facilitando discusiones focalizadas.</li>



<li><strong>Fomento de la participación</strong>: Diseñamos <a href="https://aldeapucela.com/normas/">normas de convivencia y buenas prácticas</a> basadas en mi experiencia con comunidades online internacionales, asegurando un espacio inclusivo y constructivo, con debates informativos e información veraz.</li>
</ul>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><a href="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/image-1.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="478" src="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/image-1-1024x478.png" alt="El foro de Aldea Pucela" class="wp-image-2493" style="width:649px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/image-1-1024x478.png 1024w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/image-1-300x140.png 300w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/image-1-768x358.png 768w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/image-1-1536x716.png 1536w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/image-1-2048x955.png 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure>
</div>


<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Integración de herramientas tecnológicas</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">La tecnología ha sido clave para enriquecer la experiencia comunitaria y optimizar la comunicación:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Automatización de información</strong>: Desarrollé «Pucelo Bot», un bot que no solo integra <a href="https://t.me/AldeaPucela/3706">noticias locales</a> y <a href="https://t.me/AldeaPucela/1298">alertas de tráfico</a> en el chat, sino que también conecta <a href="https://foro.aldeapucela.com/">el foro</a> con el chat de Telegram y publica automáticamente todo lo que sucede en la comunidad en <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/pucelobot.aldeapucela.com">una cuenta de BlueSky</a>, ampliando su alcance.</li>



<li><strong>Foro complementario y calendario de eventos</strong>: Creamos un foro en <a href="https://aldeapucela.com">aldeapucela.com</a> para aquellos que prefieren una interacción más pausada. Además, integramos <a href="https://foro.aldeapucela.com/c/eventos/6">una sección de eventos</a> donde cualquier vecino puede publicar actividades locales y, gracias a Pucelo Bot, se pueden importar automáticamente del chat al foro si así se desea.</li>



<li><strong>Herramientas de gestión y acción vecinal</strong>: Implementamos <a href="https://participa.aldeapucela.com/">una plataforma</a> para facilitar que los vecinos presenten quejas y sugerencias al ayuntamiento de manera sencilla y efectiva, en unos pocos segundos.</li>



<li><strong>Moderación y seguridad</strong>: Para garantizar que Aldea Pucela siga siendo un espacio centrado en los vecinos y sus necesidades reales, y no en la promoción comercial o la captación de patrocinadores, he integrado en el bot mecanismos de reporte de contenido no adecuado para alertar de inmediato a los moderadores humanos para que actúen rápidamente.</li>
</ul>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><a href="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/image-2.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="771" src="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/image-2-1024x771.png" alt="Herramienta de campañas vecinales" class="wp-image-2494" style="width:475px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/image-2-1024x771.png 1024w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/image-2-300x226.png 300w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/image-2-768x578.png 768w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/image-2.png 1374w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure>
</div>


<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Iniciativas destacadas</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hemos impulsado varias actividades que fortalecen la cohesión y la acción vecinal:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Debates en directo con impacto real</strong>: Organizamos <a href="https://t.me/AldeaPucela/14380">charlas de audio</a> sobre temas clave para la ciudad. <a href="https://foro.aldeapucela.com/t/debate-adios-presupuestos-participativos/170">Nuestro primer debate sobre los presupuestos participativos</a> rechazados por el ayuntamiento reunió a vecinos, asociaciones y representantes políticos, evidenciando el poder de la comunidad para amplificar voces y promover acciones colectivas.</li>



<li><strong>Campañas vecinales</strong>: A raíz de estos debates, desarrollamos herramientas que permiten a los vecinos <a href="https://participa.aldeapucela.com/presupuestos-2025/">organizarse y presentar quejas al ayuntamiento</a> de manera efectiva.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Desafíos y oportunidades</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Uno de los mayores retos que tenemos por delante es la integración de las asociaciones vecinales tradicionales, acostumbradas a dinámicas presenciales, en este entorno digital. Sin embargo, nuestra estructura está permitiendo que tanto jóvenes como colectivos más veteranos encuentren valor en la comunidad, convirtiéndola en un puente intergeneracional.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mirando al futuro</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://aldeapucela.com/">Aldea Pucela</a> está demostrando su potencial como catalizador de cambio en Valladolid. Ahora, queremos seguir creciendo, generando contenido de valor, facilitando el activismo digital y sirviendo de modelo para otras ciudades interesadas en potenciar su tejido social a través de plataformas digitales.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Si eres de Valladolid, te invito a unirte a <a href="https://aldeapucela.com/">Aldea Pucela</a> y ser parte activa de esta comunidad</strong>. Si perteneces a otra localidad y te interesa replicar esta iniciativa, <a href="https://www.nukeador.com/contacto/">estoy disponible para colaborar</a> en la construcción de comunidades vecinales online que impulsen la participación vecinal y el bien común.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Agradecimientos</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nada de esto sería posible sin la colaboración y esfuerzo de muchas personas. Quiero agradecer especialmente a <strong>David</strong>, quien inició el grupo de Telegram, y a <strong>Yustin</strong>, cuya difusión ha sido clave para el crecimiento de la comunidad. Pero, sobre todo, mi mayor reconocimiento es para <strong>todos los miembros de Aldea Pucela</strong>, quienes cada día aportan valor, contenido y debates que hacen de esta comunidad un espacio vivo y relevante para Valladolid. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gracias por hacerlo posible.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After two decades leading open and libre software initiatives, 2024 has been a year of applying that experience at the local level. <strong>I have created three community projects</strong> that demonstrate how open innovation and citizen collaboration can transform essential services in our cities.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="vallabus-open-data-to-transform-public-transport">VallaBus: Open data to transform public transport</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://vallabus.com/">VallaBus</a> was born to democratize access to public transport information in Valladolid (Spain) in the absence of modern official solutions. Applying principles of open data and collaborative development, I designed an application that goes beyond just showing schedules: it facilitates <strong>informed decision-making about urban mobility</strong>.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><a href="https://vallabus.com"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="940" height="788" src="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/screenshot.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2460" style="width:563px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/screenshot.png 940w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/screenshot-300x251.png 300w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/screenshot-768x644.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px" /></a></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The application allows you to check real-time schedules, visualizing possible <strong>delays or advances</strong>, <strong>plan multimodal routes</strong> integrating buses and shared bicycles, and view the location of vehicles in real-time. Through participatory consultations with users and neighborhood associations, it has been possible to create an app that in just a few months has become <strong>the best-rated urban transport app in Spain</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The most recent impact has been facilitating dialogue between multiple stakeholders through the publication of our <a href="https://vallabus.com/informes/nov24/">independent report on the quality of the AUVASA service</a>. This <strong>analysis, based on more than 6 million open data points</strong>, has served as a catalyst to align the needs of neighborhood associations and citizen groups around concrete improvements to public transport and <strong>demand accountability from the administration</strong>.</p>

</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="zero-waste-citizen-empowerment-through-data">Basura Cero: Citizen empowerment through data</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://basuracero.pucelabits.org">Basura Cero</a> (Zero Waste) exemplifies how an open source platform can catalyze citizen action. After observing a real need of the residents of Valladolid, I created this project to allow residents to document on a <strong>collaborative map</strong> and monitor <strong>unresolved issues in public spaces</strong> (garbage, damage, vegetation, etc).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In less than two months, the community has reported 300 incidents, <strong>achieving the resolution</strong> of more than 100 thanks to the visibility provided by the platform and the integration to register official complaints with the city council in a simple way.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><a href="https://basuracero.pucelabits.org"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/6-1024x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2461" style="width:499px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/6-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/6-300x300.png 300w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/6-150x150.png 150w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/6-768x768.png 768w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/6-120x120.png 120w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/6.png 1080w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The key to success has been to create <strong>a modern app with a user-friendly interface</strong> for all audiences that makes it easy to report an incident and register it in the city council&#8217;s official system in just a few seconds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through conversations with neighborhood associations and a constant cycle of user consultations, Basura Cero has become a tool that tangibly improves the quality of life in Valladolid <strong>allowing residents and associations to demand improvements in the quality of life in their neighborhoods</strong>.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="dana-alert-community-response-to-emergencies">Alerta DANA: Community response to emergencies</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When DANA hit Spain in November of this year, I applied my experience in disaster management using cartography and team coordination to quickly adapt the Basura Cero platform to <strong>coordinate the citizen response</strong>.<br><br>Although <a href="https://dana.pucelabits.org">Alerta DANA</a> started as a tool to document damage on a collaborative map, it evolved thanks to community feedback into a comprehensive system that maps critical resources: from open pharmacies to donation centers.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><a href="https://dana.pucelabits.org"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/alertadana-1024x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2462" style="width:475px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/alertadana-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/alertadana-300x300.png 300w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/alertadana-150x150.png 150w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/alertadana-768x768.png 768w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/alertadana-120x120.png 120w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/alertadana.png 1080w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The decision to publish the platform as open source software and release the data under open licenses allowed its integration with communities like OpenStreetMap, which already <strong>uses the data to update maps</strong>, multiplying its usefulness for the management of future emergencies.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><a href="https://dana.pucelabits.org">Website</a></li>



<li><a href="https://github.com/PucelaBits/basuracero">Code</a></li>



<li><a href="https://t.me/alertadana">Community</a></li>

</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="reflection-the-transformative-power-of-open-data-and-free-software">Reflection: The transformative power of open data and libre software</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These projects demonstrate that the combination of open technology, citizen participation, and a clear strategic vision can <strong>transform complex problems into practical solutions</strong>. Effective management of multiple stakeholder groups and the creation of spaces for dialogue have been as important as the technical aspects.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For me, the most valuable thing has been to build these solutions <strong>listening to those who need them the most</strong>, confirming that the best answers to urban challenges arise from <strong>open collaboration</strong> and community work.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All projects are available under the <a href="https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html">AGPL v3 license</a> and the data is released under <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.es">Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0</a>, which allows other communities anywhere in the world to adapt and improve these tools to their needs.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Después de dos décadas liderando iniciativas abiertas y de software libre, 2024 ha sido un año de aplicar esa experiencia a nivel local. <strong>He creado tres proyectos comunitarios</strong> que demuestran cómo la innovación abierta y la colaboración ciudadana pueden transformar servicios esenciales en nuestras ciudades.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="vallabus-datos-abiertos-para-transformar-el-transporte-p-blico">VallaBus: Datos abiertos para transformar el transporte público</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://vallabus.com/">VallaBus</a> nació para democratizar el acceso a la información del transporte público en Valladolid ante la falta de soluciones oficiales modernas. Aplicando principios de datos abiertos y desarrollo colaborativo, diseñé una aplicación que va más allá de mostrar horarios: facilita la<strong> toma de decisiones informada sobre movilidad urbana</strong>.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><a href="https://vallabus.com"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="940" height="788" src="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/screenshot.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2460" style="width:563px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/screenshot.png 940w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/screenshot-300x251.png 300w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/screenshot-768x644.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px" /></a></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">La aplicación permite consultar horarios en tiempo real, visualizando posibles <strong>retrasos o adelantos</strong>, <strong>planificar rutas multimodales</strong> integrando autobuses y bicicletas compartidas, y visualizar la ubicación de los vehículos en tiempo real. A través de consultas participativas con usuarios y asociaciones vecinales, se ha logrado crear una app que en sólo unos meses se ha convertido en <strong>la mejor valorada de transporte urbano en España</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">El impacto más reciente se ha dado facilitando el diálogo entre múltiples actores mediante la publicación de nuestro <a href="https://vallabus.com/informes/nov24/">informe independiente sobre la calidad del servicio de AUVASA</a>. Este <strong>análisis, basado en más de 6 millones de datos abiertos</strong>, ha servido como catalizador para alinear las necesidades de asociaciones vecinales y colectivos ciudadanos en torno a mejoras concretas del transporte público y <strong>exigir responsabilidades a la administración</strong>.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="basura-cero-empoderamiento-ciudadano-a-trav-s-de-datos">Basura Cero: Empoderamiento ciudadano a través de datos</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://basuracero.pucelabits.org">Basura Cero</a> ejemplifica cómo una plataforma de código libre puede catalizar la acción ciudadana. Tras observar una necesidad real de los vecinos de Valladolid, creé este proyecto para permitir a los vecinos documentar en un <strong>mapa colaborativo</strong> y dar seguimiento a <strong>problemas sin solucionar en la vía pública</strong> (basuras, desperfectos, vegetación, etc). </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">En menos de dos meses, la comunidad ha reportado 300 incidencias, <strong>logrando la resolución</strong> de más de 100 gracias a la visibilidad dada por la plataforma y la integración para registrar con el ayuntamiento quejas de forma oficial y sencilla.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">

</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">La clave del éxito ha sido crear <strong>una app moderna, con una interfaz amigable</strong> para todos los públicos que facilite que en unos segundos puedas reportar una incidencia y registrarla en el sistema oficial del ayuntamiento. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A través de conversaciones con asociaciones vecinales y un ciclo constante de consultas con usuarios, Basura Cero se ha convertido en una herramienta que mejora tangiblemente la calidad de vida en Valladolid <strong>permitiendo a vecinos y asociaciones exigir mejoras en la calidad de vida en sus barrios</strong>.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cuando la DANA golpeó España en noviembre de este año, apliqué mi experiencia en gestión de desastres usando cartografía y coordinación entre equipos para adaptar rápidamente la plataforma de Basura Cero para <strong>coordinar la respuesta ciudadana</strong>. <br><br>Aunque <a href="https://dana.pucelabits.org">Alerta DANA</a>, comenzó como una herramienta para documentar daños en un mapa colaborativo, evolucionó gracias a la retroalimentación de la comunidad en un sistema integral que mapea recursos críticos: desde farmacias abiertas hasta centros de donación.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>This is a cross-post from <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/nukeador/diary/402935">my OSM diary</a>.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As Community Strategist and Research Lead at <a href="https://www.hotosm.org/">HOT</a>, I would like to take a closer look with you all at the evolving landscape of OpenStreetMap (OSM) contributors, especially in the context of local knowledge and its crucial role in our mapping efforts.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="summary">Summary</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our study reveals a trend in local knowledge contributions in OpenStreetMap: a small but dedicated number of local mappers, making up just about <strong>3% of contributors who are in the area mapping, is responsible for approximately 75% of the detailed mapping contributions</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This significant finding underscores the vital role of local knowledge and expertise in creating comprehensive and accurate maps, especially in humanitarian and unmapped/under-mapped regions. Despite a general decline in new OSM contributors, the impact of this core group of local mappers remains profound and indispensable for the future of the project.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We would like to engage researchers and mapping communities to unveil what are the implications of these numbers and the opportunities to use them to better support mappers.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="the-spark-of-inquiry-simon-pooles-analysis">The Spark of Inquiry: Simon Poole’s Analysis</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our journey began with <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/SimonPoole/diary/400701">Simon Poole’s important observation</a>: a 20% drop in new OSM contributors. This sparked intense discussions within our team and motivated us to investigate further, particularly focusing on regions where HOT is actively involved.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/simons-study.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="699" height="408" src="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/simons-study.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2426" srcset="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/simons-study.jpg 699w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/simons-study-300x175.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 699px) 100vw, 699px" /></a></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.hotosm.org/updates/driving-change-through-data-exploring-humanitarian-mapping-research-and-analysis-initiatives/">Our findings validated</a> a consistent decline in the number of contributors in most of the 33 countries analyzed over the past five years. However, intriguingly, the volume of mapped elements, like buildings and roads, has been on the rise. This disconnect between contributor numbers and mapping activity led us to delve deeper into the nature of these contributions with deeper analysis.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="why-understanding-local-contributions-in-osm-matters">Why Understanding Local Contributions in OSM Matters</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Grasping the dynamics of local contributions to OpenStreetMap is more than just number crunching – it’s about ensuring that maps reflect the lived realities of communities worldwide.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In regions facing humanitarian crises or high poverty levels, local knowledge in mapping becomes invaluable. Accurate maps created with local insights can significantly aid in delivering effective aid and developing sustainable solutions. Our focus on this aspect underscores the need to nurture and support local mapping communities.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="pioneering-methodologies-towards-a-better-understanding">Pioneering Methodologies: Towards a Better Understanding</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of our main challenges was to distinguish between local and remote contributions. With the support of Caleb Fagunloye, our Data Analytics and Insights Intern, we developed a pilot methodology focusing on data contributions indicative of ground surveying or field mapping. This innovative approach, though not without its limitations, allowed us to isolate mapping contributions that are likely to come from local knowledge.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/map-levels.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="685" src="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/map-levels-1024x685.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2430" srcset="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/map-levels-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/map-levels-300x201.jpg 300w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/map-levels-768x513.jpg 768w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/map-levels.jpg 1195w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We took Rebecca Firth’s illustrative humanitarian mapping framework and isolated the contributions in levels 2-4, essentially excluding edits to the map that could be made using satellite imagery.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/whats-a-change.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="323" src="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/whats-a-change-1024x323.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2431" srcset="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/whats-a-change-1024x323.jpg 1024w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/whats-a-change-300x95.jpg 300w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/whats-a-change-768x242.jpg 768w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/whats-a-change-1536x484.jpg 1536w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/whats-a-change.jpg 1600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We then looked at the users (usernames) who made these changes to try and understand who was adding local knowledge to OSM in these countries in 2022.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="key-insights-the-role-of-local-champions">Key Insights: The Role of Local Champions</h3>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="600" height="198" class="wp-image-2432" style="width: 600px;" src="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/graph.jpg" alt="" srcset="https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/graph.jpg 1600w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/graph-300x99.jpg 300w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/graph-1024x337.jpg 1024w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/graph-768x253.jpg 768w, https://www.nukeador.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/graph-1536x506.jpg 1536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><em>Average: Percentage of contributors and changes they made</em></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Our analysis showed that a small proportion of contributors (~3%) were responsible for the majority of local knowledge changes (~75%). This highlights the significant impact of a few highly active local OSM champions.</li>



<li>However, this also points to a potential vulnerability in terms of sustainability and depth of community engagement. What happens if these key contributors reduce their activity?</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here you can see a table with the full data for some countries we analyzed, note how just a few contributors are responsible for most of the changes:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><thead><tr><th>Country</th><th>Total changes to elements (2022)</th><th># contributors who made these changes</th><th>% (#) of contributors responsible for 50% of the changes</th><th>% (#) of contributors responsible for 75% of the changes</th><th>% (#) of contributors responsible for 95% of the changes</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Nepal</td><td>50239</td><td>713</td><td>0,4% (3)</td><td>1,8% (13)</td><td>12% (86)</td></tr><tr><td>Senegal</td><td>2338</td><td>172</td><td>1,7% (3)</td><td>7% (12)</td><td>43,6% (75)</td></tr><tr><td>Kenya</td><td>7415</td><td>313</td><td>1% (3)</td><td>2,6% (8)</td><td>28% (87)</td></tr><tr><td>Mexico</td><td>38556</td><td>1078</td><td>0,5% (5)</td><td>2,6% (28)</td><td>21,1% (227)</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some of the numbers here were very surprising. For example, three people in Kenya, Senegal and Nepal were responsible for 50% of all the local knowledge changes to OSM in those countries in 2022.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="forward-path-expanding-research-and-engagement">Forward Path: Expanding Research and Engagement</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>We welcome improvements to the methodology! The more solid it is, the better our understanding of the OSM community landscape will be.</li>



<li>Our early research has opened avenues for more comprehensive analysis, especially focusing on the long tail contributions of casual mappers and social science / anthropological explorations</li>



<li>We think we still need to understand this analysis in other locations and analyze the evolution and trends over time.</li>



<li>HOT will keep the peer to peer support to individuals and communities to implement collective and collaborative actions, improve resources and skills and enable tech to empower and facilitate these local knowledge edits.</li>



<li>We have also <a href="https://colab.research.google.com/drive/10OAa-2kNU4gHJMdyKZSwF78tZ1Lm-W08#scrollTo=FCVHqxj2H97D">published a notebook</a> with the code to replicate this user extraction and analysis, for the countries and years of your interest. It shouldn’t take more than 15-20 minutes to get some results.</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="limitations">Limitations</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The pilot methodology above is far from perfect. For example, we know that it is possible to add ‘local knowledge’ data to the map remotely (MapRoulette campaigns and imports are two examples).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The tag list used for the analysis also has some known flaws, such as road names being excluded even though they are likely to indicate local knowledge.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is also really important to say that a Kenyan or Mexican mapper who only does mapping using satellite imagery is still a very valid member of that community of contributors! Although we did this research because we believe in the value of local knowledge in the map, it is not a judgment on other mapping methods!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also note that the analysis includes people who are mapping on their employee capacity for a corporation/organization, who tend to contribute in high volumes. Taking this into account for a follow-up study and finding ways to exclude them from the numbers, might provide a more realistic picture of paid and not-paid contributions.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This analysis was presented by Pete Masters during the recent State of the Map Europe 2023 and some interesting discussion followed.</p>

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The situation was familiar for members of more mature OSM communities. Those with now very active local knowledge contributors recognised that, in the past, a small number of very committed mappers did the majority of the field mapping and surveying.</li>



<li>Could these ‘core mappers’ end up being gatekeepers and discourage newer mappers from developing their OSM contribution?</li>



<li>Where should we allocate resources in supporting local knowledge contributors &#8211; new people to OSM, mappers who have shown inclination to add local knowledge or the core mapper group? Do efforts tend to focus on new mappers to the detriment of other groups?</li>



<li>Why do mappers do what they do? One hypothesis is that people contributing high quantities of local knowledge data do so because they have a purpose for that data. Is this true? If not, what drives core mappers?</li>



<li>How does this analysis look spatially? Does a core mapper in Nepal mean that their home town is very detailed with towns further away increasingly lacking in local knowledge?</li>



<li>How does 2022 compare with 2023 or 2021? This is a snapshot, not a trend at the moment.</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="a-call-to-action">A Call to Action</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our journey doesn’t end here. We see this as a stepping stone towards a more extensive, nuanced analysis of OSM contributions. We invite community leaders, social scientists, and OSM enthusiasts to join us in this endeavor. Your insights and expertise are invaluable in shaping the future of open mapping.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Mediante app</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Puedes instalar aplicaciones como <a href="https://blokada.org/#download">Blokada 5</a> o <a href="https://rethinkdns.com/">ReThink</a> para bloquear anuncios y rastreadores, que no solo protegerán tu privacidad, si no que mejorarán el rendimiento de tu dispositivo. Además puedes añadir o quitar listas de bloqueo personalizadas.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Nota</strong>: Si quieres usar tu propio VPN a la vez que está protección, en ReThink tendrás importar los perfiles WireGuard de tu proveedor VPN para usarlos, ya que Blokada no permite usar VPNs de terceros.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Sin aplicaciones</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Otra alternativa más sencilla, que no requiere instalar ninguna aplicación y es compatible con todos los dispositivos y sistemas es usar <a href="https://blokada.org/#download">NextDNS</a>, desde su web podrás crear un perfil con todas las listas de bloqueo que desees. Este perfil te dará una dirección única para ti, que puedes configurar en cualquier dispositivo como tu DNS personalizado. Requiere registrar una cuenta gratuita con el servicio.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em><a href="https://www.hotosm.org/updates/driving-change-through-data-exploring-humanitarian-mapping-research-and-analysis-initiatives/">English version of this post</a></em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Como responsable de estrategias y estudios comunitarios de <a href="https://hotosm.org" data-type="URL" data-id="https://hotosm.org">HOT</a>, me gustaría destacar nuestros logros recientes y extender una invitación a las comunidades OSM, colaboradores, organizaciones y personas interesadas en los datos OSM para colaborar con nosotros en los esfuerzos de análisis e investigación.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="centrándonos-en-la-información-práctica-un-enfoque-basado-en-los-datos">Centrándonos en la información práctica: Un enfoque basado en los datos</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">En HOT, nuestro enfoque de los datos va más allá de satisfacer la curiosidad; nos esforzamos por generar conocimientos prácticos que nos permitan apoyar mejor a las comunidades que utilizan Open Mapping para abordar las necesidades locales. En los últimos meses, junto con nuestro becario especializado en datos y análisis, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/olamiposi-fagunloye-264a2578/">Caleb Fagunloye</a> (junto con el apoyo de <a href="https://www.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/gis/herfort.html">Benni Herfort</a> en HeiGIT), hemos hecho progresos significativos en dos áreas clave que se describen a continuación:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Entender mejor los datos de los colaboradores de OSM y validar las hipótesis sobre la disminución de colaboradores.</li>



<li>Explorar y experimentar cómo hacer los datos OSM más accesibles a personas no técnicas.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="disminución-de-colaboradores-en-osm">Disminución de colaboradores en OSM</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://5a708acdd838894824c43445.cloud-preview.siteleaf.com/uploads/stats-icon-271781.png" alt="stats-icon-271781.png"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A principios de este año, <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/SimonPoole/diary/400701">la mención de Simon Poole sobre un descenso del 20% de nuevos colaboradores de OSM en 2022</a> llamó nuestra atención. Reconociendo las implicaciones potenciales de este descenso en el apoyo de HOT a las comunidades locales, nuestros equipos de los Hubs Regionales estaban impacientes por investigar más a fondo.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tras realizar consultas internas, nos embarcamos en un análisis para validar y comprender estas afirmaciones. Nuestro enfoque consistió en examinar los datos históricos de años anteriores, teniendo en cuenta no sólo el número de colaboradores, sino también los datos de las aportaciones y los patrones de edición en el mapa.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Seleccionamos cuatro países en cada región donde HOT tiene un Open Mapping Hub (Asia Pacífico &#8211; AP, América Latina y el Caribe &#8211; LAC, África Occidental y del Norte &#8211; WNA, África Oriental y del Sur &#8211; ESA) donde HOT tenía un fuerte historial de apoyo y cuatro países con baja o nula presencia. Además, incluimos algunos países de Europa y Estados Unidos.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mediante el análisis del número de colaboradores activos/nuevos y de los elementos añadidos al mapa entre 2017 y 2022, pretendimos proporcionar un análisis global que ofreciera información general para futuras investigaciones. Aunque este análisis inicial no examina las causas profundas ni propone soluciones específicas, sirve como punto de partida para una exploración más profunda.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Principales conclusiones del análisis</strong></p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>En los últimos cinco años, se ha producido un descenso en el número de colaboradores en la mayoría de los países analizados.</li>



<li>El volumen y el ritmo de los elementos mapeados, incluidos edificios, carreteras, servicios e instalaciones sanitarias, ha aumentado constantemente en la mayoría de los países analizados.</li>



<li>El número de colaboradores no muestra una correlación significativa con el volumen de elementos mapeados.</li>



<li>Existen picos inexplicables en los elementos cartografiados que pueden atribuirse a importaciones masivas o a la cartografía de empresas</li>
</ol>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="1-hay-un-descenso-general-del-número-de-colaboradores-en-los-últimos-cinco-años">1. Hay un descenso general del número de colaboradores en los últimos cinco años.</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">El análisis mostró una disminución general en el número de colaboradores en la mayoría de los países año tras año desde al menos 2017, excepto en algunos países de la ESA. Hubo una disminución significativa en el número de colaboradores en los países de AP y LATAM, mientras que los países del Caribe tuvieron una mezcla de gráficos estables e inestables.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">La región WNA presentó los gráficos más volátiles, con aumentos y descensos significativos a lo largo de los años observados. España se mantuvo estable, mientras que en la República Checa y los Estados Unidos también se produjo un descenso en el número de colaboradores.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="2-aumento-sostenido-de-los-elementos-cartografiados">2. Aumento sostenido de los elementos cartografiados</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">La mayoría de los países experimentan un aumento sostenido del número de edificios, carreteras, servicios e instalaciones sanitarias que se cartografían cada año. Esto significa que se siguen añadiendo elementos al mapa a un ritmo cada vez mayor.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/XiTr48GYcT4cnw9D7f7OtsHh6ujY5KXLrjKrYg5YKdH2MnScoMeBaXs37xYLxymflwQnlwqzCk5tFousex--nK79p12nkc92JElgyMgQmqiA-_PLCdLSnPUbljmYUH5tP0u7JisZquoyiRnnO3S35GY" alt=""/></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="3-el-número-de-colaboradores-no-tiene-una-correlación-significativa-en-el-volumen-de-elementos-mapeados">3. El número de colaboradores no tiene una correlación significativa en el volumen de elementos mapeados</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">El número de colaboradores no tiene una correlación significativa con el volumen de elementos mapeados. Aunque el número de colaboradores es importante, puede no ser el único factor o el más importante para determinar el volumen de elementos mapeados.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/GD2bVAr6IAAFnG2qdxduhXa2zjLegfIFTeGkIR8KrAw2kpLXhDbPpUsYlHHV6GKVmVhIbVZHOWfLEQW3rJsxsq6mtXGoZ_xHEliGgR6Pry_I7Hb8hbVuuXF1uMbP1eIV6LEq0v1-7dOZnau_nbfWDm4" alt=""/></figure>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="4-picos-inexplicables-en-los-elementos-cartografiados-posiblemente-debidos-a-la-importación-de-masas-o-a-la-cartografía-de-empresas">4. Picos inexplicables en los elementos cartografiados, posiblemente debidos a la importación de masas o a la cartografía de empresas</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Observamos picos inexplicables en el número de elementos mapeados, que podrían atribuirse a importaciones masivas o al mapeo de empresas. Los picos coinciden con los esfuerzos activos de Apple por mapear utilizando GPS, LiDAR y cámaras para recopilar datos, y con la tecnología de mapeo automatizado de Kaart.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Estas empresas disponen de los recursos necesarios para realizar ediciones masivas en OpenStreetMap, lo que da lugar a picos inexplicables. Es necesario seguir investigando para determinar si estos picos son realmente el resultado de importaciones masivas o de mapeos corporativos.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="preguntas-abiertas-y-próximos-pasos">Preguntas abiertas y próximos pasos</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sobre la base de los conocimientos adquiridos, hemos identificado al menos tres cuestiones clave que merecen una mayor investigación:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>1. ¿Quién mapea más?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Comprender los distintos niveles de colaboradores puede conducir a un mejor apoyo a sus necesidades específicas.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>¿Qué tipos de colaboradores no son bien retenidos?</li>



<li>¿Qué porcentaje del total representan las ediciones de los colaboradores más activos?</li>



<li>¿Cómo afecta el mapeo asistido por IA a la relación colaboradores/contribuciones?</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>2. Más allá del mapeo remoto</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">¿Cómo cambia el análisis cuando nos centramos en los cambios que requieren conocimientos sobre el terreno/locales, excluyendo el mapeo de empresas?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Herramientas como <a href="https://streetcomplete.app/">StreetComplete</a> y el nuevo <a href="https://www.hotosm.org/updates/field-mapping-is-the-future-a-tasking-manager-workflow-using-odk/">Field Tasking Manager</a> señalan espacios en los que más investigación y análisis aportarían muchos conocimientos valiosos.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>3. ¿Qué podemos aprender de los países fructíferos?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Como en el caso de Timor Oriental. ¿Existen dinámicas que puedan aplicarse a otros países?</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/MPhGG7bNDNtQS-bGeftO3IwG4IKO9lDLBPeGPwaXvDCdwen99ibb1ntYchzFJ-a8Hl7ufAvjmWZOdhAwAYZcJKqGBQM0QckJAFfsf4NccwsNKHMj2G32-m6L68tF15Y3zRpnv2AlMWo5jAfxxoEwraw" alt=""/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dada nuestra convicción de la importancia del conocimiento local/sobre el terreno para resolver los retos locales, actualmente estamos realizando un análisis de seguimiento para explorar posibles diferencias con los resultados iniciales de la investigación.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nos encantaría seguir colaborando con HeiGIT y otras organizaciones y personas para que los datos de OSM puedan aportar valor a todos los que utilizan y editan el mapa.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="aumentar-la-accesibilidad-de-los-datos-de-contribución-osm">Aumentar la accesibilidad de los Datos de Contribución OSM</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Paralelamente a nuestro análisis de los datos de colaboradores, también perseguimos el objetivo de mejorar la accesibilidad de los datos de OSM, asegurando que las personas sin conocimientos técnicos o de análisis de datos puedan encontrar fácilmente respuestas a sus preguntas.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Si soy parte de la comunidad local de Kenia y quiero saber cómo evolucionó el número de colaboradores en el último año, ¿hay alguna manera fácil de obtener una respuesta directa sobre esto?</strong></p>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Inspirándonos en el proyecto <a href="https://github.com/earth-genome/ChatGeoPT">ChatGeoPT</a>, que empleaba modelos de lenguaje de gran tamaño (LLM) e IA para consultar datos de OSM mediante lenguaje natural, intentamos replicar este enfoque utilizando la aplicación ohsome-api, optimizada para datos de colaboradores y contribuciones.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">En un experimento piloto de tres semanas de duración, nos propusimos abordar este reto. Sin embargo, nos encontramos con importantes obstáculos al utilizar el LLM más conocido (gtp-3.5) para interactuar con ohsome-api. Este modelo carecía de entrenamiento para utilizar la API de forma adecuada, lo que dificultó nuestro progreso.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sin embargo, identificamos un enorme potencial en la búsqueda de esta vía en colaboración con otras personas y organizaciones interesadas en los datos de OSM. Estamos explorando activamente conversaciones con HeiGIT y otros para refinar y afinar los modelos LLM, idealmente de software libre, para llevar a cabo esta tarea.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="involúcrate-colaboremos">Involúcrate: Colaboremos</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Te invitamos a conectar con nosotros, ya seas miembro de la comunidad OSM, colaborador, organización o un individuo apasionado por los datos OSM. Juntos, podemos desbloquear el valor de los datos OSM, fomentando la colaboración y permitiendo una visión significativa para todos.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Si estás interesado en explorar estas oportunidades, por favor ponte en contacto conmigo en <em>ruben.martin arroba hotosm punto org</em>. Esperamos entablar debates enriquecedores e impulsar cambios impactantes a través del análisis colaborativo de datos OSM.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In early 2022, we started an <a href="https://www.hotosm.org/updates/open-mapping-hub-in-latam-december-2021-update/">“Alpha” phase</a> to learn and co-design what an Open Mapping Hub serving Latin America could be and do.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This effort and mandate was the result of multiple consultations and conversations that took place with the open mapping communities in Latin America during the previous year, and for this reason we wanted to move in the direction that the community itself had signaled us.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today we want to talk about the progress during these first months of the year and how the Alpha phase of the LATAM Hub has begun to establish itself as an additional actor within the ecosystem with a clear objective: Better understand how to support the ecosystem in LATAM through projects and strengthening ties between communities, organizations and other actors in the region.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">?? In 4 months we have achieved:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Assemble a multidisciplinary team with 8 people from the region.</li>



<li>Prioritize and start 9 projects at the local and regional level.</li>



<li>Support the needs of communities in Peru, Brazil, Guatemala, Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras and Colombia.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="what-have-we-been-doing"><strong>What have we been doing?</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the first challenges we set ourselves was: What projects can help us understand what long-term support would look like and what people do we need to carry them out?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since the “alpha” phase was planned to last approximately 6 months, we needed to move fast while working in areas that were already important to local communities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Therefore, we opened a hiring process for the team with a very open definition of the different skills and areas of knowledge that we believed would be useful. Through the process of interviewing the candidates, we worked on co-designing what these initial projects could be, would help us work on different aspects and be able to form an opinion on what type of Hub is most effective in supporting open mapping in Latin America.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conditions for these projects were the following:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Provide value to the <a href="https://www.hotosm.org/updates/open-mapping-hub-in-latam-december-2021-update/">goals</a> of the Alpha phase.</li>



<li>Provide value to some local needs within HOT’s priority areas.</li>



<li>Could be executed in 6 months.</li>



<li>Candidates from the region itself with the skills to be able to execute them.</li>



<li>Cover different locations and different types of communities.</li>



<li>Cover different project levels: field/focus projects, general regional support for community projects; or support for open learning spaces.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This process took us the first months of the year, taking the talents of 8 people in different roles and green lighting several projects. In a future article, we will introduce the people who are taking part in this phase.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="projects"><strong>Projects</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Due to time constraints, the team itself had to make a decision about which projects to start and which ones, even though they have a lot of potential, will have to remain potential projects to be re-evaluated once the full Hub is launched.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the future, we believe that this process should evolve so that the communities and actors of the region can be part of the exploration and decision-making.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.hotosm.org/uploads/photo54.jpg" alt="photo54.jpg"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Field projects</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Methodological and technical support to the local organization Canoa de Tolda (Brazil, Sao Francisco basin) in the construction and <strong>use of drones</strong> to document and monitor the risk of <strong>seasonal flooding</strong>. Status: Starting the project and coordinating with all the actors.</li>



<li>Collaboration with UNDP’s ACCLab, OSM Guatemala and potentially Youthmappers, to adapt a local <strong>solid waste mapping</strong> around the cities of Guatemala and Estanzuela. Status: Exploring the problems with local actors.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Exploration projects</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Projects’ Seedbed</strong>: Exploration and elaboration of ideas with groups that need to use data to defend a cause or build an action, but that are still not clear about how or at what stage to use data or mapping to reach its objectives. We want these groups to be able to go from need/problem space to designing a project that provides value to what they want to achieve through open cartographic data. Status: Exploration workshops are being held with different communities in the areas of Cusco, San Salvador (Peru), and Medellín (Colombia).</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>General Regional support</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>General Community Support in LATAM</strong>: Establishing conversations and exploring the needs of the different communities, as well as identifying opportunities for support and connecting diverse communities and groups from different countries.</li>



<li><strong>Ecuador</strong>: Strategic collaboration with OpenLabEc in training to strengthen the open mapping community.</li>



<li><strong>El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala</strong>: Development and strengthening of open mapping communities in Central America and articulation with groups, NGOs and academics with a focus on supporting migrant women.</li>



<li><strong>Brazil</strong>: Exploration of local interests, needs and projects, as well as contact and connection with the different groups and open mapping communities.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Over the next few weeks we will be posting articles on this site with more detailed updates on each project.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="next-steps"><strong>Next Steps</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Over the next few months, all of these projects will continue to develop and document their learnings on a regular basis. The result of these learnings will be compiled and will inform a general recommendation in the coming months on what characteristics a Hub in LATAM should have to better support all actors, groups, and communities and a recommendation on what the next steps should be for the following months.</p>
