Mapping urban civil defense systems in Aarhus as a community science endeavour
cold war archaeology; feature monitoring; urban landscapes;
This module supports the mapping of urban civil defense systems in Aarhus and was created to facilitate course-related team-based outdoors activities by students of History, Cultural Data Science and Spatial Analytics and other courses taught by Adela Sobotkova or Rosanna Farbøl at Aarhus University. It is also available for use by other volunteers interested in public history and community science.
The module is downloadable from demo.fedarch.org. It contains a user guide and allows the user to register and sign-in, collect coordinates on civil defense features and document their morphology and condition with soft on-device validation requiring the completion of essential fields. User only sees the data s/he collected. Data from the module will be used upon verification to create a spatial dataset and support historical and spatial investigations of Cold War urban civil defenses.
This module was created by Adela Sobotkova by forking and adjusting an existing Community Mound Monitoring module developed in 2017 by Adela Sobotkova, Petra Hermankova 
Development of this module was funded by Adela Sobotkova
