Abstract:
SIMILE (Informative System for the Integrated Monitoring of Insubric Lakes and their Ecosystems) is a cross-border Italian-Swiss project aiming to improve the management of the Insubric lakes and their ecosystems with different technologies as well as the participation of citizens and stakeholders in water resources monitoring. In this project, water monitoring and management was carried out through different technologies: in situ sensors, satellite imagery, and data coming from citizen science. This paper focuses in particular on this last source of information, describing how data sourced from citizen science can contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN). The report illustrates the tools that have been developed for the collection and management of information provided through citizen science; a mobile cross-platform application for smartphones that can be used by any citizen and a Web application for administrators, useful for data management and editing.

GI_Forum publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety. Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain and their role towards a more just, ethical and sustainable science and society. GI_Forum implements the policy of open access publication after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of seasoned scientists for quality assurance. Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions. Only English language contributions are published.
Starting 2016, GI_Forum publishes two issues a Year.
