    This project presents a new way of managing geographical areas through a web service called AREAS. Using the geohash technique, this platform allows the crowd to define what is the area of any place in a democratic way. This is possible using a model that meets two requirements, being easy for anyone to understand, and at the same time being efficient enough to exist on a global scale. This report presents the theoretical development of what the geohash is and how it can be used to define areas. It also presents all the technological development, using technologies that have the capability to scale efficiently in a cloud infrastructure. Specifically, a RESTful web framework is used to allow any device to interact with the system. And also a document-oriented NoSQL database is used to manage relations in the data in a more efficient way.
