Cost Reduction and data conflation in monitoring land change I

Based on the action plans from D2.2: Engagement action plans and campaign strategies for LandSense demonstration cases I, this report outlines the activities carried out during the first iteration of the four pilots associated with the LandSense Urban Dynamics theme. Within the last months two main clusters of learning experiences were documented during the activities conducted by the four pilots. One cluster is technical and relates to the development of the apps and/or websites as well as technical aspects of data conflation. The status of the mobile and web applications and websites are presented in an overview within the respective chapter of all pilot cases descriptions. Secondly, this report emphasizes the social learning experiences associated with communicating and engaging the different target groups. The target groups differ between pilot cases and span from the broad public in regions, cities or districts to students and academics. As such varying engagement strategies (D2.2) are required to meet the goals of the different pilots.

The pilots are adjusting and fine-tuning their engagement and technical strategies and are now on their way to improving for the second iteration in 2019, which will be documented in D4.5.
