In the context of CitRec systems, we argue that the driver for participation moves from profit to the collective good, engaging more active participants [12].…”

This manifesto summarises the outcomes of the 1st Workshop on Recommender Systems for Citizens (CitRec'17), held at the 11th ACM Conference on Recommender Systems, in August 2017 in Como, Italy. We discuss challenges and opportunities for the development of recommender systems for citizens, including: the clarification of the role of recommender systems for cities and citizens; in this context, the identification of classes of items to be recommended; the need for targeting and engaging the right population, involving the right stakeholders; and the existence of underlying ethical issues such as fairness and consensus. We further provide an action plan to bring forward the research and application of recommender systems for citizens.

“…Due to the omnipresence of mobile devices in everyday life, it is thereby possible to collect location-annotated data on a large scale, area-wide and inexpensively. It is applied in a variety of urban research projects to map urban concerns in general (Ruiz-Correa et al, 2017) or to investigate specific aspects of an urban environment such as accessibility (Prandi et al, 2014), transport network's state (Chen et al, 2013) or infrastructure (Berntzen et al, 2018), or social night life patterns (Santani et al, 2016), to mention just a few.…”

Abstract. Today, community initiatives to improve the urban quality of life can be conducted in a more focused way because local authorities and urban planners are able to reveal urban hotspots through the investigation of location-annotated crime and accident data. However, urban areas, which according to well-recorded incident data are characterized by a high level of public safety, but which are generally perceived by citizens as unsafe, remain undiscovered and therefore untreated. This work presents Sensafety, a citizen-centric crowdsourcing approach that enables users by means of a mobile application to report their personal feeling of safety anytime and at any site. Sensafety’s goal is to reveal a comprehensive and complete picture of the perceived safety in urban environments in order to identify blind spots that have not been further investigated due to lack of data. To encourage citizens to participate and contribute, Sensafety’s mobile application offers different ways to explore and experience the collected data depending on the user’s location. This paper gives a detailed description of Sensafety’s integrated concept and outlines the major technical and non-technical findings.

“…Accordingly, research in HCI and CSCW has considered how digital technology can support collective action. Existing work has examined the role of technology in facilitating collective action, as well as implications for technology design [20][21][22][23][24]. Scholars have typically been concerned with the ways that technology can reduce the costs associated with organizing and participating in collective action.…”

In this paper we argue that recent developments in peer-to-peer platforms, including those underpinned by distributed-ledger technology (or blockchains), represent a new model for organizing collective action, which we term the "marketized-commons" model. Drawing on social psychological and economic theory, we compare this concept to established modes of organizing collective action. We also consider the marketized-commons model in relation to other peer-to-peer economies. We consider why individuals might be motivated to create and use platforms underpinned by the marketized-commons model, as well as how it might be counterproductive for cooperation, collaboration, participation and social goals. Finally, we recommend implications for those interested in designing peer-to-peer platforms to support collective action. Ultimately, we argue that to develop effective platforms in this context designers need to look beyond the financial considerations of individual platform users. Rather, they also need a concern for social psychological principles and processes, specifically how groups work and operate in these settings.
