Bin Survey in Cork City

This map is based on one of the Field Survey assingment, done previously as part of the Data Capture and Manipulation module, where a mas was produced from a data that collected during a survey carried out using the app Mergin Maps.

There have been countless times when I have been going for a walk around Cork City Centre, and I found myself carrying with my hands an empty can or disposable coffee cup or a even a napkin or candy wrapper to throw away without knowing how far I had to walk until I could find a bin on the street. That how I came with the idead of to surveying the public bins in Cork City Centre to display them on a map.

A total of 131 bins were surveyed using Mergin Maps. Then the data was imported to qGIS to create the map. All of these steps were made for an assignment done the previous semester. Therefore, for this webmap editing the data to be displayed on the website was the only requirement. As a final step, the plugin qgis2web was used to export the map in order to view it interactively on the web without any programming skills.
