Building a Spatial Data Infrastructure for an Environmental Citizen Sensor Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
Smart Emission is a citizen sensor network using low-cost sensors that enables citizens to gather data about environmental quality, like air quality, noise load, vibrations, light intensities and heat stress. This paper introduces the design and development of the data infrastructure for the Smart Emission initiative and discusses challenges for the future. The Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) is open and accessible on the Internet using open geospatial standards and (Web-) client applications. Smart Emission as a citizen sensor network offers several possibilities for heterogonous applications, from health determination to spatial planning purposes, environmental monitoring for sustainable traffic management, climate adaptation in cities and city planning. Keywords—Smart Emission, Citizens, Low-cost sensors, Spatial Data Infrastructure; Sensor Data; Geospatial Standards

متن کاملDeveloping a Citizen-Centric Spatial Decision-Making System to Support the Process of Participatory Construction in Urban Distressed Textures
Todays, urban distressed textures are considered as a vital concern of managers, particularly in large cities. These areas, which also appear in official parts of cities, are vulnerable because of prospective problems. Lack of proper accessibility, services, facilities, and infrastructures, as well as social, economic, environmental and spatial problems, are key problems of these areas. Althoug...

متن کاملCitizen-sensor-networks to confront government decision-makers: Two lessons from the Netherlands.
This paper presents one emerging social-technical innovation: The evolution of citizen-sensor-networks where citizens organize themselves from the 'bottom up', for the sake of confronting governance officials with measured information about environmental qualities. We have observed how citizen-sensor-networks have been initiated in the Netherlands in cases where official government monitoring a...
