abstract |
The research described in this paper is undertaken under the banner of the smart city,
a concept that captures the way urban spaces are re-made by the incursion of new technology.
Much of smart is centred on converting everyday activities into data, and using this
data to generate knowledge mediated by technology. Ordinary citizens, those that may
have their lives impacted by the technology, usually are not properly involved in
the ‘smartification’ process. Their perceptions, concerns and expectations should
inform the conception and development of smart technologies at the same extent. How
to engage general public with smart cities research is the central challenge for the
Making Metrics Meaningful (MMM) project. Applying a rapid participatory method, ‘Imagine’
over a five-month period (March – July) the research sought to gain insights from
the general public into novel forms of information system innovation. This brief paper
describes the nature of the accelerated research undertaken and explores some of the
themes which emerged in the analysis. Generic themes, beyond the remit of an explicit
transport focus, are developed and pointers towards further research directions are
discussed. Participatory methods, including engaging with self- selected transport
users actively through both picture creation and programmatically specific musical
‘signatures’ as well as group discussion, were found to be effective in eliciting
users’ own concerns, needs and ideas for novel information systems. |
