Neighborhood Boundary Identification Tool

Working with researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Graduate and Public Health (GSPH), the University Center for Social and Urban Research (UCSUR) partnered with the Providence Plan to develop an open-source survey tool allowing respondents to "draw" their neighborhoods on an interactive Web map. The GSPH researchers at Pitt will use this tool to determine the concordance of a resident's neighborhood description with administrative neighborhood boundaries. We hope to use the tool in other survey efforts at UCSUR.
