dc.descriptionAn interactive web map representing micro-amenities within the University of Calgary's campus open spaces that influence the inclusion of women and individuals with reduced mobilities. This map is a product of the thesis project titled "A Feminist GIS Approach for Identifying, Mapping, and Evaluating Gender-Inclusive Features in Urban Public Spaces" (Falahatkar, 2024). The map is available at: https://ucalgary.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/f73ac4d10db243a7a9822dfbccaeaa0d
dc.description.abstractMaps have historically served as powerful tools for understanding spatial relationships and aided in communication, navigation, and informed decision-making. However, conventional mapping processes often overlook the diverse needs of marginalized groups, resulting in a digital divide and less inclusive maps that perpetuate inequalities in the real world. By redefining mapping processes to ensure that maps reflect the spatial behavioral distinctions and needs of all individuals, we can empower less-represented groups to make informed spatial decisions. Focusing on needs of women and those with reduced mobility, maps of urban public spaces play a pivotal role in conveying essential information about spatial features relevant to these groups' navigation and use of space. "UCalgary Inclusive Map" is designed based on an innovative Feminist GIS framework that bridges this socio-spatial gap by combining multidisciplinary ideas from feminism, urban design, accessibility research, and GIS functionalities. This map includes features and attributes representing micro-amenities within the University of Calgary's campus open spaces that influence campus accessibility, safety, diversity, and spatial awareness for everyone.
