Richard Kingston of the University of Manchester has 12 years of experience developing online public participation geographic information systems (PPGIS) to assist public participation in environmental decision making. While technology can complement traditional participation methods, low internet access and the digital divide remain barriers. Surveys show that those least likely to have internet access, such as lower socioeconomic groups and older individuals, are also those most likely to access local authority services. Only 60% of UK households have home internet access.

Inter-Modal Transport Data Sharing Programme
Urban Transport on the Move: Connecting Policies, People and Business Opportunities
Presentation by Dr John Ure Programme Coordinator
Challenges of Feedback in Organisations: can we foster partnerships not projects
Challenges of Feedback in Organisations: can we foster partnerships not projectsNottingham Trent University
Using a lens of feedback and engagement this paper discusses the relationships between people, organisations, and energy use in workplaces. It reflects on two projects that explored participatory energy practices in public and private organisations. The first, “Working with Infrastructure, Creation of Knowledge, and Energy strategy Development (WICKED)”, explored energy management practices in a range of different retail companies. The second, ‘Gooddeeds’ aimed to collaboratively create an ICT based tool and related social processes with a city municipality. The paper concludes, firstly, that energy management sits against the backdrop of competing organisational, institutional and political priorities and the core strategy of an organisation matters. Second, we need to move beyond the ‘them and us’ culture and ‘information-deficit’ approach intrinsic in the notion of dashboards and feedback to appreciate the positive contribution all can make to energy efficiency. Finally, there are still large discrepancies across organisations with regards to energy management capabilities and metering technologies. In conclusion we note that relationships and partnerships are central in moving forward.04 - US Ignite OneCommunity Greater Cleveland Ohio
OneCommunity is a nonprofit organization that operates an 800 mile fiber network connecting over 800 community anchor institutions in Northeast Ohio at speeds up to 100 Gigabits. The network aims to accelerate innovation through digital technologies and collaboration. Key partners include universities, hospitals, and city organizations. OneCommunity has initiatives focused on using their network and partnerships to improve public health through chronic disease management using augmented reality and exploring uses of IoT and big data across sectors like transportation, manufacturing and public safety for public benefit. They have proposed a multi-city next generation STEM network called CITI-NET across their fiber network.

The document discusses digital inclusion and its importance for economic opportunity, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability. It outlines how digital inclusion initiatives can help address issues like worklessness, social exclusion, and carbon reduction through improved access to information and communication technologies. The key is collaborative partnerships across sectors to develop solutions centered around citizens' needs.
Redefining the Digital Divide
Access to the Internet has greatly expanded and the focus should now be on the willingness and ability of citizens to use it for productive purposes. The digital divide is now an issue that goes beyond the access gap, but also to be broadened to include underpinning divides, such as quality of access—the speed—and the ability to use it, if efforts to close the gap are to create real benefits. Our latest report Redefining Digital Divide reconsidered the nature of the digital divide and examined the strategies to overcome it in different countries.

1. The Scottish Government must ensure universal digital inclusion and assume accountability to ensure affordable and accessible digital infrastructure and skills for all.
2. Barriers to digital participation include lack of access, motivation, and skills. Addressing these barriers equitably across groups is needed to avoid increasing inequality.
3. Recommendations are made regarding improving access through infrastructure investment, motivation through local community initiatives, and education/skills through lifelong learning opportunities.
4. Achieving widespread digital participation by 2020 will require substantial investment and a coordinated, strategic approach across sectors.
UN e-government survey 2012
The document provides information on the 2012 UN E-Government Survey, including what is new, key findings, and methodology. Some of the main points:
- The 2012 survey placed more emphasis on integrated whole-of-government approaches and quality of online services over the number of ministry websites.
- Many advanced countries are moving towards centralized, integrated e-government models to improve efficiency and access to services.
- Developing countries are making progress in e-participation but gains remain uneven within and across countries.
- Only 24 countries openly promote free access to e-government services indicating more can be done to improve citizen uptake.
The survey assessed 193 UN member states based on online service availability and

It outlines several projects conducted in partnership between UN-Habitat and Ericsson to explore how digital technologies like sensors, data sharing, and community platforms can help address urban challenges related to issues like water access and transportation. The projects found that ICT can improve data access for stakeholders, empower citizens, and facilitate participation in urban planning. Moving forward, the partnership will continue exploring applications of emerging technologies like the Internet of Things.
A tale of open data in five smart cities
Open Data initiatives are increasingly considered
as defining elements of emerging smart cities.
However, few studies have attempted to provide a
better understanding of the nature of this convergence
and the impact on both domains. This paper presents
findings from a detailed study of 18 open data
initiatives across five smart cities – Barcelona,
Chicago, Manchester, Amsterdam, and Helsinki.
Specifically, the study sought to understand how open
data initiatives are shaped by the different smart cities
contexts and concomitantly what kinds of innovations
are enabled by open data in these cities. The findings
highlight the specific impacts of open data innovation
on the different smart cities domains, governance of
the cities, and the nature of datasets available in the
open data ecosystem.

The value of citizen science for environmental monitoring in Scotland
Presentation by Nadia Dewhurst Richman from a participatory virtual workshop in June 2020. This presentation gives an overview of the benefits of citizen science using examples of existing projects in Scotland, along with an introduction to Scotland’s Environment Web.
citizen science - a brief introduction
Presentation by Muki Haklay in a participatory virtual workshop June 2020. The presentation provided an overview of the types of activities that fall under the umbrella term citizen science - from activities that people do at home using the computers and the internet (volunteer computing or volunteer thinking) to ecological monitoring of landscape change in an opportunistic way. The presentation also pointed out to the multiple goals of citizen science projects - from engaging people in environmental issues, to providing opportunities to disadvantaged groups in society. The level of participation across projects was also highlighted, indicating that as requirements and knowledge increase, the number of people that are currently engaged in citizen science project decreases.

Platforms for Citizen Science - ExCiteS experience
Muki Haklay has experience developing several citizen science mapping platforms over the past 20 years, including Community Maps, GeoKey, and Sapelli. These platforms have evolved from early desktop GIS systems to modern web-based and mobile apps that allow collaborative mapping. Some key insights are that infrastructure systems have a longevity of around 5 years before needing redesign, engaging communities requires both digital and paper tools, and balancing research goals with reliable software can be challenging. Maintaining these types of platforms requires ongoing development and technical support.
Citizen science in different project
This document discusses citizen science projects across different domains and levels of participation. It provides an overview of citizen science activities and the relationship between scientists and the public. It also positions citizen science within the context of public engagement, using an example from the DITOs project. Finally, it introduces the next step of the EU-Citizen.Science project.
Citizen Science in Open Science context: measuring & understanding impacts of...
Citizen science has grown rapidly in recent decades due to societal and technological trends. It includes a wide range of activities across disciplines. While not all participants want deep engagement, citizen science can involve fully participatory research processes. It is gaining recognition from the public and policymakers. Evaluation of citizen science projects requires sensitivity, as rigid criteria may exclude some activities or newcomers. Overall, citizen science shows potential for increasing scientific literacy and knowledge while achieving important research goals.
Extreme Citizen Science technologies: attempting to embed values in code
Extreme Citizen Science (ExCiteS) is a situated, bottom-up practice that takes into account local needs, practices and culture and works with broad networks of people to design and build new devices and knowledge creation processes that can transform the world. The ExCiteS group at UCL was set up to support the implementation of this concept through the development of theories, methodologies, processes, and technologies that allow any community, regardless of (technical) literacy, to engage in citizen science projects that produce results that are meaningful and useful for them. Stemming from theoretical foundations in participatory action research and public participation geographic information systems (PPGIS), our technologies are designed to carry values with them. Once we visit these values, we can see how they turn into code, and ask how successful these efforts are, using cases in the Amazon, Congo-basin, Namibia, UK, and Malta.
The role of learning in community science and citizen science
This are slides from the talk on 12 Oct, Joint workshop of the Teaching and Learning and Citizen Science Special Interest Groups of the British Ecological Society, which was held on 12th October 2018 at the University of Reading. The talk explores links between learning and citizen science - contributory and collegial in particular. This is an improved version of the Citizen Inquiry slides
The persistent environmental digital divide(s) -RGS-IBG 2018
Over 25 years ago, as the web was emerging as a medium for distributing public information, it was promoted as a tool for increased democratisation. From the age of dial-up modem and PCs to the use of mobile phones and smartphones, concerns about digital divides and how they impact the ability of local participation in environmental decision making never resolved. These digital divides are creating a tapestry of marginalisation through different devices, skills, and communication potentials, and it is valuable to reflect on their dimensions – both technical and social, and consider how we can consider them in a systematic way. The talk will attempt to reflect on technological and social changes and the attempts to address them.

This document discusses citizen science and inclusiveness. It outlines a spectrum of citizen science projects from volunteer computing and thinking to DIY science. It discusses the educational attainment levels of participants in different projects, noting gender and education imbalances. The document contrasts passive inclusiveness, where projects do not intentionally create obstacles to participation, with assertive inclusiveness, where outreach is done to underrepresented groups. Passive inclusiveness has lower costs but may focus on more educated groups, while assertive inclusiveness aims for more social benefits through greater engagement and empowerment of marginalized communities. Citizen science offers opportunities to study inclusion, but tensions exist regarding participation and what inclusiveness means.

The role of learning in citizen science
This is a presentation from the citizen science impact event at the Open University http://www.open.ac.uk/blogs/opentel/citizen-science-impact-event-at-the-open-university/
Citizen science offer different levels of engagement to participants, which have been captured in typologies of the field (contributory, collaborative, co-created, collegial / crowdsourcing, distributed intelligence, participatory science, extreme citizen science). These typologies do no explicitly examine learning. At the same time, projects and activities striving to fulfil multiple goals (excellent scientific output, satisfying engagement, good recruitment, learning …). Within ythe range of citizen science project, we can consider different aspects of learning that are occurring in them, Projects and use examples from a range of project, and raise some aspects that can help those who are designing co-created projects.
The Willing Volunteer – Incorporating Voluntary Data into National Databases

Examining the values that are embedded in the processes and technologies of p...
A persistent question about participatory methodologies that rely on technologies, such as public participation geographic information systems (PPGIS), is how to integrate values, such as inclusiveness of all the people that are impacted by a decision, or identifying options that are popular by the majority but acceptable to the minority, within technologically focused projects. Moreover, technologies do not operate by themselves – they are embedded in organizational, political, and social processes that set how they are used, who can use them, and in what context. Therefore, we should explore where the values reside?
Two factors obscure our view: The misleading conceptualisation that technologies are value free, and can be used for good or for bad – which put all the weight on the process, and ignores the way in which any technology allow only certain actions to be taken. Another popular view of technology conceptualisation is to emphasise their advantages (upside) and ignore their limitations. If we move beyond these, and other “common sense” views of technologies, we can notice how process and technology intertwine.
We can therefore look at the way the process/technology reinforce and limit each other, and the way that the values are integrated and influence them. With this analysis, we can also consider how technological development can explicitly include considerations of values, and be philosophically, politically, and social-theory informed. We need to consider the roles, skills, and knowledge of the people that are involved in each part of the process – from community facilitation to software development.
The paper will draw on the experience of developing participatory geographic information technologies over the past 20 years, and will suggest future directions for values-based participatory technology development.
Into the Night - Technology for citizen science
Current citizen science seems effortless...just download an app and start using it. However, there are many technical aspects that are necessary to make a citizen science project work. In this session, we will provide an overview of all the technical elements that are required - from the process of designing an app., to designing and managing a back-end system, to testing the system end to end before deployment. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a short exercise to consider the design of an app for a citizen science project that addresses light pollution.
Into the Night - Citizen Science Training day - introduction to citizen science
