Field-TM: Making Urban Development Easier in Tokha Municipality
55 enumerators and project coordinators used the Field Tasking Manager (Field-TM) for a building survey in Tokha, Nepal, to improve metric addressing and develop integrated databases. The tool enhanced data collection during a house numbering survey of 17 km² and 30,000 buildings. Despite challenges, the project progressed smoothly, providing insights for enhancing Field-TM. The municipality plans to use the data for assigning house numbers and urban management, highlighting the importance of efficient data collection in growing urban areas.
