Local residents are suggested to record the images and details of the scene they see and then post it online, the application will use the GPS positioning from the user's phone to create interactive maps online.

"We do not clean up as soon as we bring it up," BBC News correspondent, an official with the city's environmental and sanitation agency , said Monday. Instead, the map allows them to monitor the problem areas, and change the patrol routes of the dog waste disposal team, known as the " gom - Gmen ".

The Gmen was established in 2012 after a series of measures failed, including fines and taxation for breeders who did not clean their livestock. Not only is this used to report misbehavior, this application is also used to cover the repairs or damage caused by natural disasters.
