What to map and what do not map?

Simply map any feature of a public place that gives you a positive experience.

THINGS TO MAP:

  • give you energy
  • are accessible for everyone
  • make you laugh – out-loud or simply a harder breathing through the nose
  • make you think “Faith in humanity restored!” are the perfect niche for your outdoor activities
  • inspire
  • give you idea’s that could improve other places
  • you would bring your friends, family or crush to

CONCRETELY, YOU CAN MAP:

  • physical things such as a bicycle lane, a flower pot, a street art, a playground, a rooftop, etc.
  • invisible things such as feelings of belonging, values you cherish, things you identify with, feeling accepted or at peace, etc.
  • acts by people that happened in that place, such as an act of kindness

FOR THE SPATIAL PLANNERS:

  • identify places with ‘positive potential’ and use your imagination for how this could be improved
  • link positive practises found in one place to another place, so it become useful for the whole community

THINGS DO NOT MAP:

  • give you negative experience (we are no complaints-outlet)
  • are commercial and profit-oriented (e.g. bars, hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, etc.)
  • are not public, such as your house, school or work
