Community/Citizen Science and Crowdsourcing Esri UC2022 sessions: Community and Youth Engagement Tuesday 12 July 2022, 8:30 – 9:30, SDCC – Room 29 D In this session, the audience will hear from two users who used ArcGIS to support community and youth engagement initiatives centered around equity. "A Community-Based Participatory Process for a Black Healing Retreat Center" will use ArcGIS StoryMaps to share their community engagement process to create a Black-led nature-based healing retreat center for multi-generational BIPOC people. "Steps to Equity" will share how their organization used Survey123 to create a walkability assessment of a Cleveland neighborhood in collaboration with John Carroll University students and neighbored residents. Abimbola Asojo, College of Design, Interior Design Mac Love, Co-Founder & Chief Catalyst, Art x Love, LLC Jennifer Ta, University of Minnesota Engaging Communities to Restore Nature User Presentation Tuesday 12 July 2022, 1:00 - 2:00, SDCC - Room 25 A Community support can help take restoration efforts to scale by mobilizing community members to monitor and report on conservation topics. Effectively engaging the public in conservation programs however requires appropriate management and communications with volunteer contributors. This session will focus on two community conservation programs and their methods for successfully engaging volunteers and the community at large. Sheridan Finder, University of Georgia Shawnlei Breeding, Audubon Center for Birds of Prey Ariana Kim, National Audubon Society ArcGIS Hub: Managing and Collaborating with Your Community Members Wednesday 13 July 2022, 8:30 – 9:30, SDCC Room 30B ArcGIS Hub helps organizations collaborate and engage with their communities. In this session, you will learn how to manage the content and apps community members can access, as well as how to control and leverage the ways in which community members can participate in projects and initiatives. The use of ArcGIS Hub sharing controls, teams, sign-up configurations, community identities, and the latest engagement tools will be highlighted. Jay Dev and Harshi Dondapati, Esri Community Engagement SIG Wednesday 13 July 2022, 11:30 – 12:30, SDCC Room 05 A ArcGIS is increasingly being used to foster community engagement. This work helps improve transparency and data sharing/visualization for organizations of different sizes as they engage their communities. Yet, community engagement is about more than data. This SIG will share community engagement best practices in three ways: Esri staff will highlight core engagement principles, an expert panel will discuss their experiences and lessons learned, and attendees will share their thoughts as well. This SIG will leave you with a better understanding of what it takes to engage your community. Brenda Wolfe, Nick O’Day, Caitlin Smith, Esri ArcGIS Solutions: Citizen Problem Reporter Expo Demo Theater 05 Wednesday 13 July 2022, 2:30 – 3:15, SDCC Expo Demo Theater 05 This session will help you get started with the Citizen Problem Reporter solution and learn how you can use the solution to solicit reports from the public, manage the response to each report, solicit feedback from the public after addressing a report, and monitor the resolution of nonemergency reports in a community. Daniel Wickens and Chris Fox, Esri Public Data Collection, Security and Privacy Special Interest Group Meeting Thursday 14 July 2022, 11:30 – 12:30, SDCC Room 03 GIS is increasingly used to collect data from the public through surveys and crowd-sourcing initiatives. After a storm, agencies use GIS to help the community self-report property damage. Citizen science GIS projects allow volunteers to report wildlife sightings. Local governments give citizens GIS tools to report issues and respond to surveys for socio-economic and health studies. Securing data collected from the public and protecting the privacy of respondents is a critical consideration for GIS practitioners. Join this Special Interest Group to learn from the GIS community about security and private challenges, and how they are being addressed. Jacqui Newell, Ismael Chivite, Michael Young, Brenda Wolfe: Esri Enabling Transparency and Citizen Science for Water Quality Monitoring User Presentation Thursday 14 July 2022, 1:00 — 2:00 pm, SDCC - Room 28 A Learn how agencies are using environmental modeling and community-based participation to improve collaboration and public understanding and transparency in water quality monitoring for protection and restoration efforts. Kevin Lund, Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy Kevin Brown, The Mannik Smith Group Estella Smith, USDA Forest Service Mona Dominguez, Alabama Water Watch/Auburn University Water Resources Center

Attending the Esri User Conference (UC2020) and seeking sessions related to Citizen Science or Crowdsourcing. Here are a few sessions you should check out. On-Demand Sessions: Best Practices for Geospatial Validation of Flood Forecasts via Citizen Science 'Catch the King' Tide is a successful citizen-science GPS data collection effort that maps king tides in Hampton Roads, VA. Hundreds of volunteers map maximum flood extents using their phone's GPS to validate and improve high-res. inundation model predictions. 150,000+ geotagged high water marks and photos have been captured using the Sea Level Rise and ArcGIS Collector Apps to trace floodwaters in VA since 2014: https://www.esri.com/about/newsroom/blog/mapping-virginias-highest-tide/ 1:Many | Leveraging the Gamut of Esri Products to Restore a Species With over 600 Eastern Bluebird boxes spread over 27,000 acres of land, Three Rivers Park District innovated a way for citizen scientists to collect critical habitat information through an easy to use application while managing the restoration of a species. Learn about how GIS staff capture real time information leveraging related record collection in Survey 123, arcade visualizations, and distributed collaboration to power their solution. Esri ArcGIS-based Submarine Cables of the World Interactive Map 98% of the world’s internet runs on subsea cables, but as an industry, we have not had a suitable, free mapping tool of systems. STF used a managed crowdsourcing effort for data collection – all system information is derived from the public domain by an analyst as well as update recommendations. STF’s online map was built with the industry-standard Esri ArcGIS platform and linked to the STF Submarine Cable Database. Systems are linked to STF’s News Feed for current news about the system. Live Fire Map: Crowdsourcing Early Detection of Wildfires for Public Awareness The Live Fire project uses crowdsourced monitoring by trained volunteers to identify new wildfires and quickly map them on a public information map. Fire reports are identified from sources including social media, camera networks, radar tracking of fire aircraft, radio scanners, and official sources. After validation for accuracy and geolocation, each report is added to the Live Fire map, including a link to the official responding agency to enable public users to obtain additional information. Leveraging ArcGIS & StoryMaps to Communicate Shelter Locations During Disasters For all major US hurricanes since 2018, CEDR has gathered shelter locations from county emergency management & other local sources via crowdsourcing and automated techniques. Our shelter feature layer is relied upon by FEMA and included in public maps from organizations such as NAPSG. Additionally, in 2019, CEDR documented location issues with Puerto Rico shelters via a Story Map, which provided a rich way to communicate a detailed data analysis effort clearly in a compelling visual format. Crowdsourcing Real-Time Real Estate Data Through GIS Commercial real estate markets are large and complicated, making it difficult to engage and educate audiences. Linking 3D buildings within Esri Portal to a CRM system creates a platform where users can easily explore markets and instantly access crowdsourced data in a real-time, two-way communication exchange. We will explore everything from linking extruded buildings with dynamic backend datasets across geographies to ensuring users have access to the best crowdsourced content.
