The Challenge

COPRETI had carried out a one-off survey in six productive localities of Buenos Aires Province. It combined quantitative indicators per census tract with qualitative field material: photos, audio recordings and testimonies. They needed a tool that brought everything onto a single map, stayed accessible to non-technical audiences and respected the visual identity their own team had drawn by hand.

Our Solution

We built the map viewer embedded in the organisation's official site. Data is organised by territorial node, dimension and variable, with toggleable layers and a methodology sheet for each indicator. We processed and adapted the client's hand-drawn icons into map markers. Each figure has variants by content type (photo, audio, text, video) and alert level, so the territory can be read at a glance. We added clustering that expands on zoom, popups with galleries and audio, and a mobile-friendly layout.
