About the Map:

G.Map@Dali was Dali Global Village Eco-Tourism(DGVET) first GREENMAP project to try to promote GREEN awareness thru the icons to the locals. Being overwhelmed by massive GREEN slogans and advetisments locally. We have to link the message onto the world here. Dali was the first stop on the main chinese tourists route in westrn Yunnan. Nested at the foot of Mt Cang beside Lake Er at 2000m, the Ancient City of Dali had been around for more then 2000 years. Being the main city on the Southern Silk Road (aka Burma Trail), the city was now still filled by travellers from all over the world in the booming travel industry. With the immense growth in domestic & foreign tourists, along brought much to be dealt with in, the limited capacity to process the remains left by the millions. to what extend? we'll be extending & beyond...

The Australian Toilet Map

Created by:

Sydney Greenmapper for Disability and Social Access

Map Details

About the Map:

Whilst this map is not strictly a GreenMap, It does address a concern of greenmapping which is access to sites by the elderly, those with disabilities and those with families. The National Public Toilet Map (the Map) shows the location of more than 14,000 public and private public toilet facilities across Australia. Details of toilet facilities can also be found along major travel routes and for shorter journeys as well. Useful information is provided about each toilet, such as location, opening hours, availability of baby change rooms, accessibility for people with disabilities and the details of other nearby toilets. The Map is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing as part of the National Continence Management Strategy. What does the Map do? The Map provides toilet information for the estimated 3.8 million Australians who are affected by incontinence: * information on the nearest public toilet * the capacity to plan short and longer journeys * improves independence and quality of life * is convenient for people with young families The Map is a useful tool for anyone undertaking a trip or holiday by providing information on suitable toilet breaks before the journey begins. The Map: * details opening hours * assists in finding toilets in a town/suburb * identifies toilets that can be accessed by people with a disability * assists planning a trip or holiday with suitable toilet and rest breaks known before the journey begins * assists planning a trip around town or between towns and cities

Portsmouth Neighborhood Green Map

Past Mapmakers — Wed, 28 May 2008 16:12:34 -0400

Portsmouth Neighborhood Green Map

Created by:

Past Mapmakers

Map Details

About the Map:

The Portsmouth Green Map was conceived and created as a partnership between Portland Green Map, a citywide community mapping organization, Portsmouth Vision 20/20, a community development organization located in the Portsmouth Neighborhood, and the Science Club at Portsmouth Middle School. Over the course of several months, students at Portsmouth Middle School used GIS (Geographic Information System) software to create maps of their neighborhood that incorporate environmental assets and special features. This is the product of their work, a map of Portsmouth neighborhood, for the Portsmouth neighborhood, created by the students of Portsmouth Middle School. This map is meant to show Portsmouth Neighborhood residents interesting information about environmental sites in and around the neighborhood. The icons, which have been used on Green Maps all over the world, mark the locations of certain types of sites in the neighborhood, from good places to see the autumn leaves to local contaminated sites.
