Nashville Food Access
Nashville Food Access
The Healthy Nashville Leadership Council (HNLC) and the National Center for Community Mapping at Meharry conducted community asset mapping for food accessibility in North Nashville in April 2023. The goal was to identify any provider related to food, including community gardens, and develop a policy impact based on data analysis. The community mapping approach is a more comprehensive way to understand food access disparities in North Nashville, compared to relying solely on the Food Desert Locator by the USDA.

Why Use It?
It's a powerful tool for participatory mapping.
Communities can use it to identify neighborhood challenges, like walkability issues, or to map out essential resources, like food pantries or public restrooms.
Allows you to add contextual layers, such as population density or environmental data, to help your community see the "big picture" behind the points on the map
San Diego River Restoration and Homelessness
San Diego River Restoration and Homelessness
The San Diego River Park Foundation worked with VERTICES on a long-term community mapping project for the San Diego River Trash Cleanup. The project used a custom Mappler data portal to collect trash, encampment, site condition, and cleanup information along the lower San Diego River. The data supported a data-informed impact model connecting site condition data, landowner coordination, cleanup planning, and homeless outreach efforts.
