Project description:
The essence of the project was to stimulate civic activity of residents through the methods of (geo)social participation. The means of project implementation was the development of a concept and a pilot implementation of a spatial information system integrating: official reference data, monitoring data (carried out by use of Internet of Things) and spatially localized opinions of residents.
The project was carried out:
- development and pilot testing of a set of tools and methods dedicated to various age and social groups supporting the collection of spatially localized civic opinions and processing these opinions into the form of useful information and knowledge using innovative methods and technologies, such as geo-participatory map portals, spatial data mining, multi-agent systems etc.;
- collecting, using the above-mentioned methods and tools, opinions of residents related to land use, odor nuisance, as well as sorting and recycling of rubbish;
- development of the concept and pilot implementation of an air quality monitoring system using innovative odor sensors;
- development and implementation of a spatial information system and a geoportal enabling the analysis of environmental data, supporting the process of environmental impact assessment and visualization of the air quality condition available to the city authorities and residents;
- stimulating the co-responsibility of residents for municipal waste management by building tools that allow for the effective implementation of the Act on maintaining cleanliness and order in municipalities, i.e. a prototype of a gamification system (using a multi-agent system) supporting the process of sorting, disposal and intelligent waste processing (personalization of the garbage collection system, sorting bonuses, records of declarations, optimization of services provided).
