tackling climate
change in Dorset
Preliminary process that lead
to the creation of a community
map online; community members
assess issues of importance and
device an action plan
focused community
mapping in London
Participatory mapping is a tool
for spatial data collection.
It involves participatory
methodologies aimed at
supporting and promoting
community engagement in
decision-making
community mapping

monitoring nitrogen
dioxide…
Use of low-tech DIY methods for
data collection gave community
members the ability to collect
relevant local data with which
to constructively
influence/call for change
…& metal particles
after data collection the
community devised measures
they could adopt to reduce
exposure to, and production
of, harmful emissions
air-quality monitoring

…in Extreme Citizen Science
we commit principles of participation and inclusion, openness and acknowledgement, collaboration and creativity
we encourage a science that reduces barriers, increases democratic participation, recognises the importance of each participant and allows all voices to be heard
Extreme Citizen Science is science by citizens, where anyone, regardless of their background, can take ownership over and investigate issues that are of concern to them to bring about meaningful change
“…it is a kind of science that questions the state of things”
