Maharashtra Village Maps - Feedback form
Estimated time for this survey (5-10 min)

This is a free and open source webmap platform for visualization of census village data or any custom data you may have at the village level. Our aim is to eventually make this a useful tool for practitioners at the grassroots levels, researchers, journalists etc. Webmap accessible at this link (please open in separate window): https://bnamita.github.io/Village_Mapping_v2/

We welcome your feedback/inputs and collaboration on this project..
Most of the questions have 'Yes'/'No' responses, to check whether features of the webmap work as they should. If your answer to any question is 'No' then please note down your explanation of what isn't displaying correctly in the space provided for the question 19.
Note: We still have to fix the 'Add your own CSV feature', you may not be able to test that as of now

If you are interested in this project and wish to contribute in any way (further testing, developing new features (we need people with javascript knowledge), adding 2001 census data, translation to local languages, making this a mobile app etc. please send us a mail at pune@datameet.org) . If you are interested in making something like this for your own state and India as a whole please feel free to fork the code or ask us and we can help

For developers (some points we need inputs on, do mail us with your suggestions)
We need help with each of the following. Do let us know if you have any specific ideas
- Making these maps available in Marathi (including basemaps)
- Issues with displaying certain categorical integer datatypes e.g. Primary Health Centre (1-A, 2-NA)
- Categorizing integer and numerical data in such a manner so as to highlight spatial variation, e.g. quantile based categorization
- Displaying towns data separately from village data in the census visualization
- A logical expression calculator to view the result of multiple variables at a time (e.g. Total Population > 10,000 && Tap water (treated) Status == 2,NA)
- A variable showing difference between calculated area of village polygon and geographical area as per census
- New variables highlighting duplicated census codes and missing census codes (i.e. errors in the shapefile itself)
- A mobile android app
