论文摘要
这项研究将水质监测和管理视为一种新的社区参与形式。通过一系列称为“设计黑客马拉松”的独特研究方法，我们与一个积极参与其当地分水岭的公民社区进行了接触。这些设计黑客马拉松试图了解这些公民的动机，实践，协作和经验。对数据的定性分析揭示了复杂的利益相关者网络，工作流实践的性质，与更大的社区，正在使用的技术基础设施的当前状态以及Hackathon参与者提出的创新设计场景。基于这一综合分析，我们将水质监测和管理概念化为基于社区的监控和管理，以及水数据作为社区数据。这样的概念化阐明了这些实践如何通过提高意识，积极参与以及对水数据和资源的非正式学习来赋予公民权力，从而有助于避免水危机。
This study looks at water quality monitoring and management as a new form of community engagement. Through a series of a unique research method called `design hackathons', we engaged with a hyperlocal community of citizens who are actively involved in monitoring and management of their local watershed. These design hackathons sought to understand the motivation, practices, collaboration and experiences of these citizens. Qualitative analysis of data revealed the nature of the complex stakeholder network, workflow practices, initiatives to engage with a larger community, current state of technological infrastructure being used, and innovative design scenarios proposed by the hackathon participants. Based on this comprehensive analysis, we conceptualize water quality monitoring and management as community-based monitoring and management, and water data as community data. Such a conceptualization sheds light on how these practices can help in preempting water crisis by empowering citizens through increased awareness, active participation and informal learning of water data and resources.
