What will happen in your session?
Talking about the project named LupaNH* aims to encourage the citizenship of the residents and workers of the Novo Horizonte Community (Macapa city**/Amapá State/Brazil) through connected digital mobile technologies. With the help of a mobile application, created for this purpose, users of the system can, in a geolocalized way, insert data about the infrastructure of neighborhood, feeding database with information about the infrastructure deficit in the following areas: Drinking Water; Collection and Treatment of Sewage; Street lighting; Sidewalks; Asphalt; Urban Cleaning.
*Lupa in english means magnifier ** Amazon Rainforest
What is the goal or outcome of your session?
Explaining on the contemporary concepts of hyperlocal communication, the Lupa NH Project promotes the conversation among community members with the intention of structuring data and configure, through them, the real situation of the infrastructure provided by the public authorities to the residents of the neighborhood. As the community itself is responsible for supplying the application with relevant data about the environment where it lives, it will commit itself to actions that pressure public entities to transform the reality of the local infrastructure, according to the demands identified as priorities.
