Pilgrim databank - The project is nearing completion
cikk, szerző: sodi
As we reported earlier, Permeo O.Z. and Zarándok Turizmusért Nonprofit Kft. have been working on a joint project entitled "Innovative pilgrimage route accessibility and orientation community database and data collection platform", the implementation period ended on 31.08.2021.
The project, implemented within the Interreg V-A Slovakia - Hungary Cooperation Programme project SKHU/WETA/1901/4.1/304, simply called "Pilgrim Data Base", will allow visitors, hikers and pilgrims to use the project to encounter problems related to the developed specific route.
The development will help hiking and pilgrim communities alike to provide each other with up-to-date information on the relevant sections of the routes. The partners have thus developed a free-to-use and embeddable web and mobile phone platform to help gather up-to-date information on the walkability and orientation of the pilgrimage route, and to help address the problems highlighted. You can see the type of problem encountered and its source, which you can also take a picture of on the spot, thus substantiating the problem flagged, and this can also be used for confirmation and feedback by other users.
On web and mobile devices, users can access the following information and services:
- information page
- data submission form (with widget support) (minimum data to be handled: GPS long, lat, municipality, county, country, image, type, subtype, description, importance)
- support for community data collection logic - provide confirmation option for a given notification and validity testing logic according to confirmations
- support for status management of confirmed notifications
- support for multilingual display - English and Hungarian
The data collected will be shared by organisations with their partners and with the owners of the routes concerned (mainly municipalities and forestry), thus contributing to the maintenance of the continued passability of the routes and their high level of use.
The project implemented could only be carried out in cross-border cooperation, since the objective is common, i.e., to maintain and preserve our existing assets.
