we promote community-based participatory research (CBPR) to develop a framework for the bottom-up monitoring of environmental problems directly by the local communities, using the concept of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI).
For this purpose, we will develop the EcoVoce mobile app, which enables the users to identify and report the environmental problems such as water pollution, inadequate disposal of domestic and industrial wastes within the territories of C\u00e2mpeni and Baia de Arie\u0219. The Volunteered Geographic Information, transmitted by the citizens interested in getting actively involved in the monitoring of environmental risks, will be stored in the data base of the EcoVoce App. The information about the environmental problems reported by the citizens and recorded on a volunteer and anonymous basis shall be accessible for the decision-makers in real time.
Therefore, through the EcoVoce app we aim at increasing community engagement in monitoring the environmental problems and their management, together with the decision-makers and the scientific community.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Drones are unmanned aerial vehicles operated by means of a global positioning system (GPS). They fly with various degrees of autonomy due to the flight plans controlled by software. In short, they are operated remotely, enabling the autonomous flight of these robotized drones.<\/p>

Researchers, ecologists and environmental engineers are increasingly using drones in their environmental studies. The device greatly facilitates the fieldwork, enabling the investigation of remote areas, since drones can easily fly over long distances and offer the possibility of recording important data types such as land mapping by highly accurate topographical and environmental measurements etc.
Also, drones are more and more used in emergency management,<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u00a0where they provide rapid access to information on the calamity areas, on damages caused by floods, earthquakes or landslides, on the propagation of vegetation fires or the spread of pollutants in the environment, but they are also very useful in search and rescue actions.
Drones can be used with video cameras that work in the visible specter or thermo-vision, thermometers, humidity and pressure sensors, wind measurement devices, sensors for various gases, enabling them to collect important data for the environmental studies. One drone can collect these data on a regular basis, thus eliminating the need to send people in the field.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
