Parking use in Pasaia

Description

While I was working at the RAZ studio I scanned Pasaia's four neighbourhoods with a drone to obtain orthophotos at a very high resolution and, above all, of one precise moment. The aim was to analyse how parking is used.

I scanned Pasaia's four neighbourhoods (Antxo, Trintxerpe, San Pedro and San Juan) with a drone. Each scan produces an orthophoto: an image seen from above, without perspective and with enough resolution to see the cars one by one.

An orthophoto is not an ordinary photograph: it is the image of one precise moment in which car parks, streets and buildings can be measured at the same scale. That is why it works for analysing parking use: you can see exactly how many cars there were at that moment and where.

The aim was to compare parking use on different days and at different times, so as to have precise information when the mobility plan was drawn up. Here you can see the orthophoto of each neighbourhood: with the zoom you can get right down to the level of the cars.
