Hi,
I am not really sure what you are saying when you say: "Is there more
than "The maps helped a lot!""
I think feedback like that from the groups that use the data we generate
are very convincing that the mapping we do helps on the ground. Further,
for me it is very informative that these same humanitarian groups do ask
the HOT specifically to do mapping for them. I do not think they would
ask us if they did not feel it helped them.
Also, there is a somewhat different scope of the HOT mapping that is
about empowering local communities outside of immediate crises.
Best wishes,
Blake

Hey mappers,
whenever I tell friends about the HOT projects, I get a lot of sceptic
responses. Most people don't see the importance of our maps and there
are even voices saying it is much more something to keep mappers
occupied than actual help.
If I go deeper into online research on the impact of HOT, I can find
some opinions here and there, but these are mostly very vague and based
on few people's opinions.
Is there more than "The maps helped a lot!" or "The maps could help in
case xxx..." anywhere?
Are there any quantitative data sets or any scientifically executed
interviews?
Keep mapping!
