Getting started
2013: First EcoMapping at HFT Stuttgart
Noted findings with ecological impact on
paper maps.
Notes are transferred into Excel-Sheets
How can this process be supported by GIS?
Students project in GIS-Practice 2014 in the
master course Photogrammetry and Geoinformatics

5. Database design by student groups
Populated with already noted findings
First capturing prototype and publication
based on ArcGIS online
o Usable for GIS trained person
+ Good demonstration of possibilities
+ Students are involved
+ Gives ideas for
further improvements

6. Feature based maps for orientation and spatial analytics
Improved database design with domains and pick-lists for
clear and reliable data collection
Customized App for data collection with
easy to use manually navigation to buildings and floors implemented
domains and pick-lists
Overall Result:
++ Solution which could be used for data collection by introduced people
++ Presented at ESRI UC 2015 at HFT Stuttgart and in San Diego

8. Navigation in 3D objects
Buildings are 3D objects with overlaying floors – GIS maps are 2D
• How to select a building?
• How to select the floor?
• How to select the room?
Usable at any time on any device
• not fixed to workstation
• no installed software
• no special hardware
• no training sessions

9. Data (problems) collection by
students and staff
How to motivate the crowd to
participate?
• Easy to use application
• Integration in
universities computer system
• Feedback for satisfaction
• etc.
