Making Sense: Empowering participatory sensing with transformation design
This paper demonstrates the value of transformation design in participatory sensing and describes how design can inform awareness and develop actions for change to tackle environmental issues. Recent research advocates for participatory sensing (open data capture through digital platforms) using technology that can assist and inspire citizens in driving environmental change. This paper examines a study aimed at overcoming some of the challenges associated with the sustainability and impact of environmental participatory sensing. Our approach merges the fields of participatory sensing and design, and explores how transformation design can add an important dynamic in the framing of participatory sensing. It conceptualizes the way that communities increase awareness of environmental issues and take action to effect positive change. We present a study conducted across three European cities with citizens who were concerned about environmental challenges. Our contribution describes an approach and range of methods for supporting action and change.
