A mobile and web platform for creating and sharing integrated land and climate change information for mountain communities (Dolkha district, Nepal).

Abstract:



Mobile web applications are platforms that enable creation, sharing, and visualisation of climate change and land information amongst stakeholders. This report provides a blueprint for the design of such a tool intended for rural mountain communities – particularly those in the Dolakha district of Nepal. The design is based upon requirements developed from stakeholder needs and defines key users, use cases, data needs, application functions, and technology layers. Overall, the system aims to support simple and easy access, visualisation, and querying of the information for the relevant stakeholders, individuals, communities. The report also details how the system is to be developed using existing free and open source technology. Results from tests of user experience and how the system adheres to the requirements are also presented.
