MaRiA – Mapa de Riesgos Ambientales

Description

A neighborhood-by-neighborhood climate risk map, built with citizen reports and open data on top of the IPCC risk framework. The first pilot maps heat-wave risk perception in Córdoba Capital, Argentina.

The Context

Climate risk data usually stops at the city level. But risk is lived at the neighborhood scale: a heat wave doesn't hit every barrio the same way, and official data rarely captures how people actually experience it.

The Problem

There is no accessible, local view of environmental risk that combines what the data says with what neighbors perceive. Without it, citizens and local governments can't prioritize where to act first.

Our Take

MaRiA combines citizen reports with open data from the city, structured on the IPCC risk framework, to build a risk map barrio by barrio. Open source, so any city can replicate it.

The Process

I'm designing and building MaRiA within ambient.ar, starting with a private pre-beta focused on heat waves in Córdoba Capital. Citizen risk perception reports are combined with open datasets from the city, and the prototype is being validated with local users before opening access.

The Outcomes

  • ✓First neighborhood-level environmental risk map in the lab, in private pre-beta
  • ✓Combines citizen risk perception reports with open city data
  • ✓Built on the IPCC risk framework, open source and replicable by other cities
