Paperless Field Surveys: from Phone to WebGIS on Your Own Server
Ecological and social surveys on a phone, synced automatically to a server you own and published straight to a web map — no SaaS subscription.
Conservation & Ecology track — field survey → radar & optical imagery → biodiversity analysis → WebGIS on your own server.
Field surveys with paper forms and a separate GPS are slow and error-prone. We show the complete workflow we run ourselves at ownmap.id — from a form on your phone to the server that looks after your data.
What we will cover
- Designing survey forms (vegetation, wildlife, socio-economic) in QGIS and filling them in with Mergin Maps — including photos and GPS location
- Automatic sync from field teams to the server
- Publishing survey results as a web map with G3W-Suite
- The infrastructure behind it: servers, backups and security — when SaaS is enough, and when to run your own
For: conservation NGOs, local and village governments, environmental consultants, researchers and survey teams.
Participants who complete the post-event questionnaire receive an e-certificate and the session recording. Participants get a discount on the Digital Field Survey Workshop in Bogor (25–26 November 2026).
