UrbanQool Citizens-harnessed indicators of Quality of Life
IES-H06
Framing the Challenge • Modern Science
• Data and computing intensive • Integrative, multi-scale, multi-disciplinary
• INSPIRE a key building block of interoperability in Europe § Cross-border e-services § Digital Agenda for sustainable growth
• Sea of people = Sea of data § By 2050, 6.2 bn people in urban areas (70%
of humanity) § Citizens contributing observations and
perceptions of change § Millions of sensors = dynamic data flows
• Quality of Life not just GDP § New indicators of Qol based on a range of
dimensions § Opportunity to complement administrative
and survey data with citizen data
• Aims at harnessing novel collaborative research paradigms in citizen-science to identify and measure new quality of life (QoL) indicators in the urban environment. "
• Complements the existing knowledge on urban QoL conditions, by combining quantitative and qualitative information from authoritative and crowd-sourced data Leverages the trends of service digitalization (e.g., mobile apps, social networks, gamification) in order to engage citizens and contribute to main policy debates."
• Aligns to DG CNECT Digital Science Vision for H 2020 (source: Morten Møller DG CNECT, 5/9/13)"
• Other potential interested DGs:"§ ESTAT"§ REGIO"§ SANCO"§ ENV"§ …"
• Other stakeholders"§ Public administrations "§ Networks of cities"§ National Statistical Institutes""

UrbanQool
New research methods, e-infrastructures, big data
Open access to research results (publications & data) and processes
Open research collaborations (open science), crowdsourcing
Citizen engagement in research (citizen science) and scientific debate
More efficient science: shared resources, dynamic collaborations, democratization of research
Better science: Transparent and replicable research
New science: New disciplines, new research topics
Higher impact science: relevance, accessibility and impact to society and industry
UrbanQool "(potential areas of
activity)"
"EFFICIENT MOBILITY: Change from fixed to flexible mobility transit patterns in order to allow personalization of travel plans in a more sustainable way. Possible indicators on commuting to study and work by mode of transport "
"
"CROSS-CUTTING THEME: METHODS FOR CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT: test alternative methods for citizen engagement by age-group (e.g. gaming) in sustainability projects as well as public participation, and governance."
"PERCEPTION OF THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT: measures and feedback on air quality , street noise level, litter, safety. and other suitable
indicators of local environment. "
ACCESS TO SERVICES: time spent to access basic services provided by public administration (e.g. planning permits, cadastral registry, etc.)"
The concept of Quality of life deserves
individualization, increased
geographical resolution and denser
timescale.!
Urban data services are reshaped as user-friendly “apps”, very often supported by
social network features. "
Environmental sensors are
increasingly being embedded in
smartphones and popular electronics."
Pervasive internet access is an asset for service digitalization."
UrbanQool - In summary !• UrbanQool is expected to build a user-friendly feedback platform for
the evaluation of individual QoL in urban areas."• The infrastructure is envisioned to engage citizens’ participation by
exploiting behavioral and socio-economic attributes of modern urban societies. "
• Engaging citizens’ participation towards sustainable project activity is an asset for the interoperability of several DGs, public and private parties."
• The research activity will span 3 years. Project milestones are: "
