Explore Your Community's Story with CommuniMap

CommuniMap invites you to see your local area through fresh eyes - by tuning in to nature, movement, and the daily rhythms that shape your surroundings. Whether you’re walking, wheeling, noticing local trees, or composting at home or elsewhere, CommuniMap provides a space to reflect on what you see and share your observations, contributing to a vibrant community map. This shared resource allows us all to learn from and connect with one another through our collective experiences.

Developed by the GALLANT project at the University of Glasgow, CommuniMap is currently being piloted in collaboration with local groups, schools, and residents throughout Glasgow. The App is designed to be flexible, inclusive, and adaptable, making it accessible for communities anywhere, interested in exploring their environments collectively.

With CommuniMap, you can:
- Track your journeys on foot or wheels and reflect on your experiences.
- Share your interactions with nature - from wildlife sightings and seasonal changes to hidden green spaces.
- Identify, measure and learn about local trees, and discover their local and global benefits (including what to plant where!).
- Observe and document water in your neighbourhood, and contribute to a wider understanding of flooding, drought and climate within your local environment.
- Monitor compost, compare insights, share learnings, and learn how to improve it.
- Highlight your observations about energy projects or potential new ideas in everyday places.

CommuniMap isn't just about data collection - it’s about paying attention, reflecting together, and adding your perspective. Everyone’s observations - no matter how small - help build a bigger picture of how people and places are changing.

CommuniMap is rooted in Glasgow, yet it's designed for anyone curious about their community to contribute.
