Do 2005. samo je 15% svijeta bilo mapirano. Ovo usporava dostavu pomoći nakon nesreće -- i skriva ekonomski potencijal neiskorištene zemlje i nepoznatih cesta. U ovom kratkom govoru, Googleov Lalitesh Katragadda prodstavlja Map Maker, skupinu alata za izradu karata koje koriste ljudi širom svijeta kako bi mapirali svoj kraj.

2008. ciklon Nargis je uništio Myanmar.
00:21
Millions of people were in severe need of help.
1
6000
4000
Milijuni ljudi su ozbiljno trebali pomoć.
00:25
The U.N. wanted to rush people and supplies to the area.
2
10000
4000
UN je namjeravao hitno poslati ljude i potrepštine.
00:29
But there were no maps, no maps of roads,
3
14000
3000
Ali nisu postojale karte, karte cesta,
00:32
no maps showing hospitals, no way for help to reach the cyclone victims.

nije bilo karata koje su pokazivale bolnice, nije postojao način da se pomogne žrtvama.
00:37
When we look at a map of Los Angeles or London,
5
22000
3000
Kada pogledamo kartu Los Angelesa ili Londona
00:40
it is hard to believe
6
25000
3000
teško je povjerovati
00:43
that as of 2005, only 15 percent of the world
7
28000
3000
kako je 2005. samo 15% svijeta
00:46
was mapped to a geo-codable level of detail.
8
31000
3000
bilo mapirano na gedetskoj razini.
00:49
The U.N. ran headfirst into a problem
9
34000
3000
UN je naglavce krenuo riješiti problem
00:52
that the majority of the world's populous faces:
10
37000
2000
kako većina svjetske slike stanovništva
00:54
not having detailed maps.
11
39000
2000
nema dovoljno deteljne podatke.
00:56
But help was coming.
12
41000
2000
Ali pomoć je dolazila.
00:58
At Google, 40 volunteers
13
43000
2000
U Googleu, 40 volontera
01:00
used a new software
14
45000
3000
koristeći nove programe
01:03
to map 120,000 kilometers of roads,
15
48000
3000
mapiralo je 120,000 kilometara cesta
01:06
3,000 hospitals, logistics and relief points.
16
51000
3000
3,000 bolnica, logističke i točke pomoći.
01:09
And it took them four days.
17
54000
2000
Trebala su im četiri dana.
01:11
The new software they used? Google Mapmaker.
18
56000
3000
Novi program koji su koristili? Google Mapmaker.
01:14
Google Mapmaker is a technology that empowers each of us
19
59000
3000
Google Mapmaker je tehnologija koja svakom od nas omogućuje
01:17
to map what we know locally.
20
62000
3000
da mapiramo ono što lokalno znamo.
01:20
People have used this software
21
65000
2000
Ljudi koji su koristili ovaj program
01:22
to map everything from roads to rivers,
22
67000
2000
kako bi mapirali sve od cesta do rijeka
01:24
from schools to local businesses,
23
69000
3000
od škola do lokalnih radnji,
01:27
and video stores to the corner store.
24
72000

Nobel Prize nominee Hernando De Soto

2000
Hernando De Soto, nominiran za Nobelovu nagradu
01:34
recognized that the key to economic liftoff
27
79000
2000
prepoznao je kako je ključ ekonomskog razvitka
01:36
for most developing countries
28
81000
2000
za većinu zemalja u razvoju
01:38
is to tap the vast amounts of uncapitalized land.
29
83000
3000
jest da prikupe informacije o velikim količinama nekapitalizirane zemlje.
01:41
For example, a trillion dollars
30
86000
3000
Na primjer, bilijun dolara
01:44
of real estate remains uncapitalized in India alone.
31
89000
3000
nekretnina je nekapitalizirano samo u Indiji.
01:47
In the last year alone,
32
92000
2000
Samo prošle godine,
01:49
thousands of users in 170 countries
33
94000
4000
tisuće korisnika u 170 zemalja
01:53
have mapped millions of pieces of information,
34
98000
3000
je mapiralo milijune informacija
01:56
and created a map of a level of detail never thought viable.
35
101000
3000
i kreiralo mapu najdetaljniju do sada.
01:59
And this was made possible by
36
104000
2000
A ovo je sve stvarno zbog
02:01
the power of passionate users everywhere.
37
106000
4000
snage strastvenih korisnika širom svijeta.
02:05
Let's look at some of the maps
38
110000
3000
Pogledajmo neke mape
02:08
being created by users right now.
39
113000
3000
koje upravo sada kreiraju korisnici
02:11
So, as we speak, people are mapping the world
40
116000
2000
Dok pričamo ljudi mapiraju svijet
02:13
in these 170 countries.
41
118000
2000
u ovih 170 država.
02:15
You can see Bridget in Africa who just mapped a road in Senegal.
42
120000
6000
Možete vidjeti Bridget u Africi koja je upravo mapirala cestu u Senegalu.
02:21
And, closer to home, Chalua, an N.G. road in Bangalore.
43
126000
5000
I, bliže kući, Chalua, cestu u Bangaloreu.
02:26
This is the result of computational geometry,
44
131000
3000
Ovo je rezultat kompjuterske geometrije,
02:29
gesture recognition, and machine learning.
45
134000
3000
prepoznavanja pokreta, i učenja strojeva.
02:32
This is a victory of thousands of users,
46
137000
2000
Ovo je pobjeda tisuća korisnika,
02:34
in hundreds of cities,
47
139000
2000
u stotinama gradova,
02:36
one user, one edit at a time.
48
141000
2000
jednog korisnika, jedan opis po jedan.
02:38
This is an invitation to the 70 percent
49
143000
4000
Ovo je pozivnica za 70%
02:42
of our unmapped planet.
50
147000
