“…This is not to say that unsustainability is a "wicked" problem (cf. [1,25]); rather, we argue that framing unsustainability as a problem misses the nature of the situation and misguides our attempts to address it.…”

As HCI is applied in increasingly diverse contexts, it is important to consider situations in which computational or information technologies may be less appropriate. This paper presents a series of questions that can help researchers, designers, and practitioners articulate a technology's appropriateness or inappropriateness. Use of these questions is demonstrated via examples from the literature. The paper concludes with specific arguments for improving the conduct of HCI. This paper provides a means for understanding and articulating the limits of HCI technologies, an important but heretofore under-explored contribution to the field.

“…Such work asks designers to consider the "political and cultural context" [37] so they might develop effective solutions to large-scale societal problems. This broadening of the design space promotes designers to move beyond individual action and toward designing for collective action, by focusing on regional and national contexts [47,52]; activist groups [52,6,33,99], and/or nonprofit organizations [78,122].…”

“…column in the table refers to whether data provided by the group are available through any other source. If a group produces the only data on a given subject, then the acceptable standard of quality may be lower than if there are many established groups in the field (Aoki et al 2009). For instance, sightings data from JellyWatch are often the only indication of ephemeral jelly blooms that otherwise receive little research attention or funding but are of high concern for ocean health (Condon et al 2013).…”

Strategies Employed by Citizen Science Programs to Increase the Credibility of Their Data

The success of citizen science in producing important and unique data is attracting interest from scientists and resource managers. Nonetheless, questions remain about the credibility of citizen science data. Citizen science programs desire to meet the same standards of credibility as academic science, but they usually work within a different context, for example, training and managing significant numbers of volunteers with limited resources. We surveyed the credibility-building strategies of 30 citizen science programs that monitor environmental aspects of the California coast. We identified a total of twelve strategies: Three that are applied during training and planning; four that are applied during data collection; and five that are applied during data analysis and program evaluation. Variation in the application of these strategies by program is related to factors such as the number of participants, the focus on group or individual work, and the time commitment required of volunteers. The structure of each program and available resources require program designers to navigate tradeoffs in the choices of their credibility strategies. Our results illustrate those tradeoffs and provide a framework for the necessary discussions between citizen science programs and potential users of their data-including scientists and decision makers-about shared expectations for credibility and practical approaches for meeting those expectations.
