This project was a collaborative, participatory GIS project between citizens of the Crest Drive Neighborhood in Eugene, OR and students at the University of Oregon. Teams of students and residents walked the streets of the neighborhood collecting walkability data in the neighborhood using mobile GIS technology on PDAs. In the end, data of interest to the neighborhood was collected, students learned new skills in mobile and participatory GIS, and all had great fun working together on the project
