A simple, open tool to report issues in public space and see where they cluster. Built to strengthen a high‑trust society—starting with us.

This app is a demo with sample data.

Why reporting
Public spaces only work when we trust each other. Today, small forms of disorder—litter, vandalism, unsafe corners—often go unreported.

The SafetyMap makes it easy to act: report what you see and make problems visible on a shared map. Bottom‑up signals help residents make smarter choices and nudge authorities to intervene.

Easy reporting flow:

  • short description

  • category (e.g. litter, vandalism, unsafe feeling)

  • Location data

  • Photo

  • Open Source, non-commercial

    Community-driven app for the people by the people

  • Anonymous by default

    Anoymous reporting

  • AI-filtering

    AI content filter that blocks spam and automatically rewrites reports in a more formal language.

Open data, open view:

  • Use the heatmap by category to discover what area’s with a specific problem and to understand trends or avoid riskier zones.

  • Check hotspots incidents. (f.e. litter problem)

  • A recent‑incidents view to see what just happened and where. Useful for quick clean‑ups or immediate awareness.

  • Get an City report and see what is and was happening your area

  • Create automated reports that looks for sudden trends. (for example litter + vandalism + harrasment + nuisance)

  • Get notified when something happens in your area of interest

  • Download open data for further analysis

 FAQs

“The Safetymap is an open initiative that invites everyone to participate—whether as engaged citizens reporting what they see, or as developers and designers helping to build the platform. Together we can shape a tool that strengthens communities.”

Amory Gillot.

“I see citizen reporting as a building block of democracy—it empowers individuals to be heard and fosters accountability in public life. By sharing what you see and experience, you can help protect nature, improve public and online spaces, guide others to safety, or reveal hidden gems to share it with others in your area. “
