Open Helsinki – www.openhelsinki.net - community project in progress to create better UI to decision items and to increase the dialogue between citizens and politicians

http://www.hri.fi/fi/sovellukset/ahjo-explorer/

Ahjo Explorer mobile application: “Follow Helsinki’s political decision making whenever and wherever”

•  Mitä jo on tehty unelman saavuttamiseksi •  Mitä seuraavaksi tehtäisiin

Hmm.. at the moment they are planning to do some changes to the land use plan

of this area.. Interesting - should I participate?

I see.. This brandnew bicycle corridor was decided x.x.20xx by the City

Council and budget was xx euros.. I´ll send positive feedback!

Ordinary day in the near future

Helsingin kaupungin aineistopankki/Lauri Mannermaa

Make it easier for citizens, politicians

and civil servants to have a dialogue via social media

A:Today we are handling

new bicycle-road case xx-yy-zz Q: Could you tell me more

about this case? A: Sure!

Realtime access to local and relevant decision topics:

”What is being decided in my neighborhood?”

Open Ahjo – Use cases for the data

Encouraging citizen participation:

”City is building

a new library here in 2016. I could tell them my ideas on how

to spend the budget”

“Our dream is that every public agenda, every euro and any public issue could be easily

analyzed, visualized, understood and contributed to

by the citizens in advance.”

HRI won 100 000 € to make this dream a reality!

http://www.hri.fi/en/news/hri-wins-eus-prize-for-innovation/

How we will spend the EUR 100.000 •  Open more data and develop

interoperability of the different datasets to match with Open Ahjo

•  Work with various users in creating real-life use cases for the data

•  Encourage the creation of prototype applications and visualizations that showcase the usage of the data

•  Disseminate learnings so others can replicate it

Examples of datasets to match with Open Ahjo: •  Population statistics and estimates •  Administrative boundaries •  City financial data •  City service point data •  Real estate and land use data •  Environmental data •  City issue reporting data

Discussion topics: •  What do you think about about our dream – i.e.

will it really enhance democracy? •  Your advice to us for implementing this? •  Anything similar going on in your city – could we

collaborate?
