Накратко на български

Геоинформатичните методи за „отворени градове“ изследват начини за прозрачно участие на гражданите и анализ на качеството на живот чрез данни. Това помага на хората да не се чувстват изключени от сложните технологии и процеси в модерните градски среди.

Joint Doctorate in Geoinformatics - Enabling Open Cities

Cities have been getting bigger for many years now, and this trend is expected to continue throughout the 21st century. This creates many challenges for cities that want to provide a sustainable, safe and liveable environment for their ever-increasing population. In recent years, the vision of ‘smart cities’ has been proposed as one way to tackle these challenges, where various technologies are deployed to monitor and analyse different aspects of urban life, and to manage the provision of urban services. While being a promising solution, smart cities can be very complex, difficult to understand and closed-off, which can make citizens feel powerless, excluded and controlled by the complex technologies, hard-to-grasp processes and opaque services in a smart city. The overall goal of GEO-C (Joint Doctorate in Geoinformatics – Enabling Open Cities) was therefore to train a group of young researchers so that they could tackle these problems in academia, industry and society. In addition, the project aimed to develop methods and tools to realise smart and open cities, which empower all groups of society to participate on all levels and to benefit in many ways. More specifically, GEO-C focussed on investigating new approaches for smart and open cities that • that enable transparent participation on equal footing for all citizens, • that facilitate data analysis to determine the quality of life for individuals and cities, and • that deliver useful services for smart cities based on the principle of openness. Three research institutions with a proven track record of complementary research areas in Geoinformatics worked together with city councils and companies from three European countries: The academic partners consisted of the University of Münster (WWU), Institute for Geoinformatics (ifgi), Germany, the Universidade Nova de Lisboa (UNL), NOVA Information Management School (NOVA IMS), Portugal and the Universitat Jaume I (UJI), Institute for New Imaging Technologies (iNIT), Spain. They were joined by three city councils (Münster, Lisbon, Castellón) and six local companies (Hansa Luftbild, 52 North GmbH, ESRI Portugal, SAS Portugal, Urbiotica S.L., Prodevelop S.L.). Together all partners engaged with different stakeholders, shaped the underlying research and supported fifteen early-stage researchers (ESRs) in their research and career development.

Цел на проекта

Urbanisation has been a key trend for centuries and is expected to continue throughout the 21st century as well. Cities have to continuously strive to provide a sustainable, safe and liveable environment for their ever-increasing populations. In recent years, the term ‘smart cities’ has been coined for initiatives that monitor and analyse different aspects of urban life, and manage service provision intelligently. A key gap in this area relates to how people can understand the processes driving smart cities and their services, and how they can gain a sense of control rather than being controlled by the services provided by a smart city. GEO-C aims to contribute methods and tools to realise smart and open cities, in which all groups of society can participate on all levels and benefit in many ways. The complementary strands of research in GEO-C will lead to an improved understanding of how to build open cities and will produce a prototypical open city toolkit. The toolkit will contain software, libraries, apps and frameworks that enable cities to easily set up or adapt key services, processes and analyses. This research area provides challenging and rewarding topics for early-stage researchers to carry out a PhD. These topics include, for example, participation across all ages and groups of society, the assessment of the quality of life, and fundamental urban services. As the 15 PhD researchers will become experts in the toolkit, their career perspectives will benefit greatly from the toolkits’ public and open release. To further increase the impact of GEO-C and to also optimise career perspectives of the PhD researchers, the city councils of Münster, Castellón, and Lisbon and several companies across Europe will be closely involved as associated partners. They provide input to the toolkit, host early-stage researchers, and drive the use of the toolkit and the realisation of open cities as envisioned by GEO-C.
