Fine Scale Replicable Risk Mapping in an Informal Settlement: A Case Study of Mathare, Nairobi

Slums and informal settlements continue to pose considerable health challenges, mostly associated with the unavailability of basic amenities proper waste management. While mapping where risks occur, such as location features disease is obviously beneficial, spatial data required frequently not available, especially on a continuous basis. In this paper, we employ robust, cost-effective, efficient means monitoring for these types environments, using Mathare SIS in Kenya an illustration. We show how videos can be used capture microenvironments around homes or other key toilets water points, localized environmental standing mud. also utility approach longitudinal change. The objective paper illustrate method map changes variability challenging environment.
