OpenStreetMap and CycleStreets: collaborative map-making and cartography in t...CycleStreets
Abstract: The arrival of web-based mapping from Google and others has revolutionised, in the space of only five years, the way many people interact with maps and map data. And the success of projects such as Wikipedia highlight how collation of small amounts of information from large numbers of people - an approach called 'crowdsourcing' - can challenge traditional models of data collection and ownership. Bringing these concepts together is OpenStreetMap, a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. Well-established enterprises such as the Ordnance Survey are coming under increased pressure from this new model, and large companies such as MapQuest and Microsoft are starting to use and invest in it. Martin Lucas-Smith, Webmaster in the Department, and one of two main developers of the leading UK-wide cycle journey planner website, CycleStreets, will discuss OpenStreetMap, its use within a wide range of systems (from cartography, routing, and even its central role helping deal with the Haiti disaster) and discuss the challenges it poses to traditional forms of cartography and data collection.
Mac281 big data & journalism lecture 2014Rob Jewitt
This document discusses the emergence of data journalism and how journalists are using large datasets and data analysis tools to uncover stories and insights. It provides an overview of the history of database journalism and computer-assisted reporting dating back to the 1950s. It also highlights more recent examples where journalists have used mapping, data visualization, and interactive tools to explore and explain different datasets. The document suggests data-driven journalism will be an important growth area for the profession in the future.
This document discusses making data more accessible to society through open data, communication, and technology. It begins by introducing an online discussion on opportunities and challenges of using open data, data visualization, and other technology approaches.
It then discusses three main ways of making data more accessible: open data, which freely shares data for public use; communication, where data is explained through storytelling and visualization to broad audiences; and interactive technology, like apps and crowdsourcing, that enable public participation as data producers. Examples like Mappiness and OpenStreetMap demonstrate how crowdsourced data can benefit society.
The document provides context for an online discussion on these topics from June 11-24, 2014 and invites participation from both experts
This document provides an overview of data journalism. It discusses the origins of database journalism in the 1950s and examples of early practitioners. It also covers recent developments like increased use of data visualization and tools that allow for more interactive data stories. Experts comment that data-driven journalism can uncover important stories and that skills in data analysis and visualization will be increasingly important for journalists. The document also lists some free and popular tools used for data analysis and visualization.
This document discusses how to effectively exploit and leverage both corporate and user-generated content through cooperation between humans and machines. It outlines several challenges, such as dealing with low quality or adversarial content, and proposes solutions like incentivizing high quality contributions and using techniques like crowdsourcing, trust modeling, and gamification to optimize content creation and verification. The key is developing new algorithms and systems that coordinate humans and computers to obtain quality content with minimal resources, while also addressing issues like unreliable algorithms or deception by human contributors.
Data journalism is still a nascent concept in the emerging hyperlocal media sector, but examples of activity do exist – particularly in the US – and steps can be taken to make it more mainstream. This book chapter was part of "Data Journalism: Mapping the Future" published in 10 Jan 2014 and edited by John Mair and Richard Lance Keeble.

Co-Design and Placemaking: Open PlanningLara Salinas
The document describes Open Planning, a digital tool created through a collaboration between Lancaster University and local partners to enhance civic engagement in the urban planning process. It involved developing a prototype Open Planning App over 18 months with £15k in funding. The goal was to improve public participation by connecting citizens to planning information and discussions through a digital platform, addressing issues like limited notification and data access that citizens experienced previously. The prototype tested features for notification, accessing meaningful information, and facilitating dialogue, though challenges remained around data availability and balancing stakeholder needs. The project demonstrated the potential for technology to enable systemic change and connect people's everyday lives to public services.
This document discusses the opportunities and challenges presented by big data for social sciences research. New forms of data from social media, tracking, and internet-connected devices allow researchers to study social processes as they unfold in real-time at large scales. However, analyzing this data requires new computational skills and infrastructure. Researchers must also consider new methods and address issues like reproducibility, ethics, and access to ensure quality results. Overall, big data has the potential to transform social sciences by enabling the study of phenomena in new ways, but significant challenges around data, skills, and research practices must be overcome.

A level-based approach to public transport network planningAndrew Nash
This document discusses a level-based approach to public transport network planning. It describes a traditional three-level system with regional rail, rapid transit, and surface transit. However, some cities have found that a two-level system with faster surface transit and more dense regional rail stations can provide similar coverage with limited additional benefit to a three-level system. The document also discusses how Zurich's successful two-level system is now facing capacity issues, and proposes solutions like differentiated regional rail services and "Metrotrams" to address this.

Ruby on Rails security in your Continuous IntegrationSqreen
Sqreen (https://www.sqreen.io) describes how open-source public tools can help improve your software security in your Continuous Integration cycle.
This presentation focus on Ruby on Rails and uses open source Ruby gems as well as Jenkins, an open source CI tool.
Two tools are presented. Arachni (https://github.com/Arachni/arachni) is a dynamic security analysis tool. It need some special scripting to get integrated to Jenkins (ask me!).
Brakeman (https://github.com/presidentbeef/brakeman), a static analysis tool, targets Ruby on Rails applications source code. It can be easily integrated to Jenkins thanks to an existing plug-in.
This method can make the reports hard to understand and process systematically in a CI work flow.

Know Your Community: Data Power to the PeopleData Con LA
Data Con LA 2020
Description
The City of Los Angeles launched its open data program in 2013, making department-level data open to the public. This initial release of data was welcomed by the research and data science community. However, focus groups and discussions with citizens revealed that it was less accessible to a broad public audience. To address this, the City of Los Angeles is making the data more accessible through the Know Your Community platform which makes neighborhood-level insights and training sessions available for the public.
Speaker
Preston Mills, City of Los Angeles, Community Data Manager
Dave Harte- The Timely Information ProjectPaul Hadley
Digital Birmingham have been commissioned by the Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) to develop pilot projects that empower citizens to use data and information to better contribute to local decision making. Dave Harte tells us about this, alongside a number of other projects to make Birmingham a 'digital city' by 2010.
The City of Huntsville launched a 18-month master urban planning initiative called The BIG Picture to shape the city's future for decades. They engaged citizens for feedback through surveys, focus groups, and an online community called Imagine Huntsville. The city collected demographic data and promoted engagement through various online and offline channels. So far, the initiative has validated existing plans, identified new issues, informed daily team meetings, and helped educate citizens. The city plans to continue citizen engagement for future projects after The BIG Picture concludes.

Technology and Data, Supporting the Homewood Children's Village State of the ...mwiddows
The document provides details about supporting a State of the Village report for the Homewood Children's Village with technology and data. It discusses leveraging technology like an interactive online map to communicate information to stakeholders about initiatives, programs, and money returned to the community. It also talks about collecting additional data through methods like having teens capture stories or texting in addresses of blighted areas. The document recommends establishing a structured feedback loop with the community and creating a data visualization portal to integrate available data and measure impact over time.
The document discusses how Los Angeles created a "GeoHub" to help address various challenges facing the city in a smarter, more efficient way. The GeoHub acts as a central hub where data, maps, and apps can be shared across city departments and with the public. It helps break down data silos and encourages collaboration both internally and with external partners.

This document discusses open social mapping, which combines actor modeling, social network analysis, crowdsourcing, and customer relationship management tools to allow stakeholders to map themselves. This helps designers understand social systems from the perspectives of real stakeholders. Benefits include centering stakeholders, identifying disconnects, increasing understanding of diversity, and facilitating shared understanding between stakeholders. Challenges include maintaining participation, addressing privacy concerns, and ensuring interoperability between maps. Examples of open social mapping projects in Canada are provided.
The document discusses how data from the Internet of Things and citizen science can be used for public benefit. It outlines how data is being generated from more sources and in larger volumes, and how this data combined with artificial intelligence is fueling a new data economy. It also presents several approaches for how citizens can be engaged to help refine open government data through incentives and blockchain-based systems, moving from just consuming open data to co-creating and maintaining public services.
This document provides guidance on mapping civic tech and data ecosystems. It discusses choosing a purpose, scope, data collection methodology, and mapping software. The document also covers key steps like analyzing the ecosystem map to identify gaps, opportunities for collaboration, and areas for growth. The overall goal is to help groups strengthen relationships and identify shared priorities through the mapping process.

Planning Wars - Planning lessons from liveable citiesAndrew Nash
Urban transport planning lessons from Vienna, Zurich, San Francisco, New York and cyberspace. Vienna: the importance of infrastructure. Zurich: the benefits of efficiency. San Francisco: don't be afraid of congestion. New York: planning needs political courage and brains. Cyberspace: information technology is revolutionising participation in city planning and service provision.
Social apps can help connect residents with transportation agencies to improve sustainable transportation. Such apps start simply by sharing information but can evolve to more advanced functions like crowd-sourced reporting, discussion, and collaborative action. Effective apps provide two-way communication between users and agencies and include back-end analytics to inform decision-making.
This document discusses using serious games to address transportation issues. It begins by explaining why games are popular and how gamification can be used in non-game contexts. It then outlines several types of transportation games that could be used to communicate information, encourage behavior change, and more. The rest of the document provides recommendations for game design, such as linking game mechanics to objectives and testing gameplay. It concludes by listing several example transportation games and referencing a case study on using online games.
Public Transport Efficiency: Zurich, Vienna and On-LineAndrew Nash
Andrew Nash presented on increasing public transport efficiency in Zurich, Vienna, and through online citizen engagement tools. Zurich takes a systematic approach to prioritizing public transport through dedicated lanes, coordinated schedules and ticketing. Vienna relies more on expansive underground rail and tram networks but faces challenges from increasing auto dependence. Online tools like games and forums aim to educate citizens and generate ideas, but challenges include attracting users and gaining agency support due to concerns about complaints.
Factors affecting undergraduate students’ motivation at a university in Tra VinhAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Motivation plays an important role in foreign language learning process. This study aimed to
investigate student’s motivation patterns towards English language learning at a University in Tra Vinh, and factors
affecting their motivation change toward English language learning of non-English-major students in the semester.
The researcher used semi-structured interview at the first phase of choosing the participants and writing reflection
through the instrument called “My English Learning Motivation History” adapted from Sawyer (2007) to collect
qualitative data within 15 weeks. The participants consisted of nine first year non-English-major students who learning
General English at pre-intermediate level. They were chosen and divided into three groups of three members each
(high motivation group; average motivation group; and low motivation group). The results of the present study
identified six visual motivation patterns of three groups of students with different motivation fluctuation, through the
use of cluster analysis. The study also indicated a diversity of factors affecting students’ motivation involving internal
factors as influencing factors (cognitive, psychology, and emotion) and external factors as social factors (instructor,
peers, family, and learning environment) during English language learning in a period of 15 weeks. The findings of
the study helped teacher understand relationship of motivation change and its influential factors. Furthermore, the
findings also inspired next research about motivation development in learning English process.
KEY WORDS: language learning motivation, motivation change, motivation patterns, influential factors, students’
motivation.
