For the last few years, the increasing need for humanitarian support has led to increasing demand and responsibilities for the international humanitarian system. This trend raises questions regarding the use of alternative and complementary data sources and potential additional actors and communities that could be involved in support efforts and cover some of the tasks of humanitarian organizations. The article provides an overview of the Red Cross and Red Crescent movement, their practices and activities as well as current needs and challenges. The article illustrates the potential of OpenStreetMap and digital volunteers for humanitarian activities, with a particular focus on disaster risk reduction in the scope of the Missing Maps project. The background and objective of the collaborative project as well as its potential and impact for the Red Cross and Red Crescent movement are elucidated. The conclusion and outlook section presents future plans and visions to make further use of the potential of the Missing Maps approach in additional sectors and contexts.

AbstractThe roles and functions of Political Parties have been degraded lately due to negative stereotypes towards Political Parties, including the Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (PKS). It happened because some PKS cadres were caught by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in mass media coverage. Besides, the formation of Political Parties including the Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (PKS) as the birthplace of national leadership seems to be less than optimal. For this reason, researcher was interested in discussing the use of public relations communication media for PKS through the media in improving the image of the institution. Based on this context, this study aims to determine the utilization of PKS Communication Media in Improving the Image and analyze the factors that support PKS Communication Media Use. This study uses qualitative research methods with data collection techniques in the form of interviews, observation, documentation and literature study. Interviews were conducted on 4 (four) informants representing the PKS Public Relations Division at both the DKI Jakarta Province level and DPC PKS at the Pulogadung District level. The results showed that the utilization of the media for the use of communication media, especially social media by PKS public relations, among others were Photo PKS, TV PKS, Digital Volunteers, Literacy Volunteers, PKS Art, and the creation of short videos advertised. Factors supporting the use of communication media are solid HR PKS cadres and sufficient funding sources to support the use of communication media, especially social media, in reducing the negative stereotypes of the community towards PKS and improving the image of the Jakarta PKS. Abstrak Peran dan fungsi Partai Politik akhir-akhir ini telah terdegradasi karena adanya  stereotip negatif terhadap Partai Politk, termasuk Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (PKS).

При переходе на дистанционное обучение в условиях пандемии COVID-19 и дефицита времени возник ряд проблем, связанных с внедрением и использованием цифровых технологий в учебном процессе, которые можно классифицировать на психологические, технические, организационные, технологические и методические. Рассмотрен опыт оказания помощи системе общего образования (педагогам, обучающимся и их родителям) в решении психологических, организационных, технологических и методических проблем в рамках проектов некоммерческой волонтерской ассоциации «ТехноВолонтеры Просвещения» Томского государственного педагогического университета (ТГПУ). Подробно описана работа студентов ТГПУ в Центре учебной помощи по оказанию консультационных услуг предметного и технического характера школьникам и родителям при выполнении домашних заданий, а также отряда цифровых волонтеров, выезжающих в школы и помогающих учителям в освоении новых образовательных технологий. During the transition to distance learning in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and time pressure, a number of problems arise associated with the introduction of the use of digital technologies in the educational process, which can be classified into psychological, technical, organizational, technological and methodological. The experience of rendering assistance to the general education system in solving psychological, organizational, technological and methodological problems within the framework of the projects of the nonprofit volunteer association TSPU “Technovolunteers of Education” is described. The work of TSPU students in the Center for Educational Assistance in providing consulting services of a subject and technical nature to schoolchildren and parents when doing homework, as well as the Detachment of digital volunteers who travel to schools and help teachers in mastering new educational technologies are described in detail. The projects of the Association TSPU “Technovolunteers of Education” are socially significant. They are aimed at the formation of new pedagogical competencies associated with the use of the modern digital environment of a single educational space in the educational process and based on the concept of joint activities. In addition to the main projects of the association “Technovoloters Education” TSPU, volunteers can be involved as organizers’ assistants in various events held by TSPU or its partners.

AbstractIn this paper, we examine the socio-technical impact that social media has had on coordination between professional emergency responders and digital volunteers. Drawing from the research literature, we outline the problem space and explore ways to improve coordination and collaboration between these two groups. Possible improvements include mediators, revisiting trust, emergency policy and process changes, a bounded social environment, digital volunteer data as context, and computational solutions. As the space matures and collaboration improves, we predict that professional responders will begin to rely on the data and products produced by digital volunteers. Volunteer groups will be challenged to mature as well, to develop volunteer management systems, permanent staff, data management practices, and training for new volunteers to ensure consistent response to professional responders as needed.
