Democracy does not scale effectively online due to anonymity breeding contempt and a lack of evidence-based decision making. The document proposes a two-sided geosocial model for online civic participation that uses digital identity authentication and verifiable location-based feedback to make democracy more real by facilitating public persuasion, deliberation, consultation and evidence-based outcomes. Contact information is provided for PlaceSpeak Inc., which develops online tools to enable this model of civic participation.

Civic Engagement in the Digital Age
Civic Engagement in the Digital AgeAmanda Levinson
?
This document discusses civic engagement in the digital age. It notes that 71% of Americans use the internet and over half use social media. It contrasts traditional civic engagement methods like town halls and meetings with newer digital methods like online petitions, blogs, and communicating with officials through social media. The document also discusses how technology can enable government transparency, crowdfunding, and informing citizens. However, it cautions that technology should not replace real-world civic participation and that solving social problems requires cooperation between citizens, experts, and government. It proposes designing technology and offline activities to better connect people to each other and their governments.2016 East Asia Democracy Forum Session4: Democratic Activism by Women and You...

The document discusses the Sunflower Movement in Taiwan and its impact on politics and governance. It explores the rise of youth activism and social movements that challenge traditional politics. New technologies are creating new forms of civic participation and pushing governments to be more transparent and responsive to civil society. However, technology alone does not guarantee more democratic outcomes and openness.Future councillor (nlgn)(february 2013)

?
The document discusses how the internet is changing politics and civic participation. It argues that the rise of social media and online networking allows for more open, collaborative and participatory forms of civic engagement. However, this has also disrupted traditional political structures and media. Moving forward, it suggests politics needs to embrace more networked and digital approaches, engaging citizens as collaborators rather than just communicating to the public. Elected representatives will need to adopt the behaviors and norms of online culture to be effective in this new networked society.Networked engagement (draft)(april 2013)

This document discusses how technology and social change are impacting engagement between citizens and the state. It notes the consistent growth of internet use and social behaviors online. It argues that the relationship with the public is changing and that new approaches like networked and collaborative engagement are needed. Examples of participatory online platforms and communities are provided that could inform more open, agile, and co-productive models of civic participation.Good Enough Voter Verification & Other Identity Architecture Schemes for Onli...

The document discusses identity architecture and voter verification in online communities, emphasizing the importance of deliberation and communication dynamics for effective civic engagement. It explores various concepts such as equality practices, conflict resolution, and the role of technology in fostering participation. The talks revolve around developing a persistent community while navigating the complexities of data ownership and the influence of government on identity.eDemocracy2012 Simon Delakorda Political_informatics-how_should_civil_society...

This document discusses the democratic risks of digital governance, including technocratic e-governance and fake e-democracy. It examines two cases - a government proposal portal that received over 1,000 citizen proposals but only accepted 11, and an e-democracy subportal that provided weak transparency. This has led to consequences like public disappointment, distrust in institutions, and alternative informal participation channels. The document argues that NGOs can help address these issues by advocating for transparency, expertise, and partnership with governments in areas like pilots, participatory design, and community building to support more citizen-driven e-participation.Councillors Connected IDeA online conference 8th April 2009

The document discusses the creation of an online community board aimed at enhancing local social interactions to combat declining social engagement. It reviews existing literature and technologies, presents findings from ethnographic studies, and highlights the importance of purposeful in-person interactions and shared interests among neighbors.

The document summarizes key findings from the 2012 Greater Vancouver Urban Futures Opinion Survey. The survey polled over 1400 residents across 22 municipalities on issues like transportation, housing, the environment, and diversity. Top concerns included healthcare, traffic, and homelessness. Support was strong for expanding public transit over building new roads. Respondents prioritized issues like transportation, housing affordability, and preserving green spaces. Views varied by age, gender, and location within the region. The survey was conducted by PlaceSpeak and researchers from SFU and KDCameron & Associates.GeoSocial: Making it Real

The document discusses trends in geosocial technology and highlights issues with fake accounts on major social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, citing significant discrepancies in user engagement. Facebook reported between 5.5% and 11.2% of its accounts may be fake, while a substantial portion of Twitter accounts are inactive or minimally engaged. Additionally, it mentions a geosocial model for public consultations to connect residents with local topics and encourage participation.Patrick Condon Upper Kitsilano Residents Association Presentation

Desperate times require intelligent responses to issues like housing affordability. Vancouver is the third least affordable city for housing in the world, with housing prices of $300 per square foot compared to $150 elsewhere. The document discusses solutions like building more housing in Kitsilano, an area between the "blobs" on the city map, as well as building skytrain or tram systems instead of spending $3 billion on other transportation methods to help address these challenges.2012 Urban Futures Survey Presentation: Mayors' Council April 25. 2014

The 2012 Urban Futures Survey found that:
1) Transportation issues like traffic congestion were ranked as the top concern in the region by residents.
2) Residents were generally receptive to user-pay transportation funding options like increased transit fares and gas taxes but strongly opposed increases to property taxes.
3) Key to gaining public support for transportation investments will be demonstrating the value or benefits residents will receive for the costs to them.Metro Vancouver presentation on the 2012 Urban Futures Survey

The 2012 Urban Futures Opinion Survey found that residents of Greater Vancouver ranked healthcare and traffic congestion as the top challenges requiring government action. Support for expanding public transit and making more efficient use of existing transportation infrastructure increased significantly compared to 1990. Residents also prioritized preserving natural areas, increasing affordable housing, and supporting density and diversity in urban planning. Younger respondents expressed greater acceptance of urban living and desire for transit-oriented communities. The survey provides insights into evolving public opinions to help guide regional planning in Metro Vancouver.Moving in a Livable Region - Urban Futures Survey

1) The 2012 Urban Futures Survey conducted by PlaceSpeak and others asked residents of Greater Vancouver about transportation challenges, policy priorities, and funding preferences.
2) Residents identified traffic congestion as the second biggest challenge, and expanding public transit as the highest priority policy issue to address transportation problems.
3) While both public transit and highways were seen as important, residents strongly disagreed that more roads should be built to ease congestion and preferred expanding and making better use of existing transit systems instead.Moving in a Livable Region - Urban Futures Survey

The document presents findings from the 2012 Urban Futures Survey concerning transportation preferences and challenges in Greater Vancouver. It highlights the public's strong support for expanding public transit and efficient use of existing transportation facilities, while opposing road expansion to ease congestion.

The document discusses a new paradigm for online public consultation called the GeoSocial model. It aims to shift consultations from the historical anonymous model by connecting digital identities to specific places through geofencing and geocoding. This allows for evidence-based decision making by providing real-time, localized data from individual citizen profiles within a citizen-centric network. The goal is to transform democracy by systematizing open data and making consultations more authentic, deliberative, and effective.IAP2 North America 2013

The document discusses a new paradigm for online public consultation and civic engagement called the GeoSocial paradigm. It involves connecting digital identities to physical locations to focus participation in consultations and allow for evidence-based decision making. This helps address issues with the historical anonymous online model and leverages network effects to promote sustained civic engagement. The GeoSocial model provides opportunities to inform, consult, involve, collaborate with and empower citizens throughout the consultation process.Tedx belfast_slides

Public consultation allows citizens to have their voices heard on important issues by claiming their place, speaking their mind, and participating in the political process. Consultation involves persuasion through credible arguments as well as emotional appeals to engage the public audience. When done effectively, public consultation fulfills the promise of giving citizens a say in decisions that affect their lives.Advancing online public consultation
Advancing online public consultationPlaceSpeak
?
This document discusses advancing online public consultation in Metro Vancouver. It proposes a system that would:
1. Notify residents of nearby consultations on topics they choose, like housing or transportation projects within a certain distance. Residents would register with identity and location verification.
2. Standardize how consultation topics are listed in an open data catalogue with details like location and dates. Staff would map consultation areas and residents in those areas would be notified.
3. Allow residents to participate and provide feedback through online forums, surveys and other tools. Analytics would segment feedback spatially and ensure public input informs outcomes. The goal is evidence-based decision making through an accessible, transparent process.TEDxSFUslides

Public consultation processes aim to give citizens a voice in government decisions but often fail to engage the public meaningfully. While voting turnout is declining in Canada and many other countries, other forms of direct democracy could help boost political participation if they make citizens feel heard and respected rather than anonymous and disregarded.Doc 9626.MANUAL ON THE REGULATION OF INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT

Eventually Donnae Strydom at the Western Cape Premier’s office gave me two contact numbers and the second one worked, 021 464 2115 and the man who answered this number at the Office of the Presidency had to try 2 numbers which rang and rang, before I got through to Lerato in Pretoria who answered my question, which was “what is the deadline for submission of public comments?” This date appears nowhere on the NPC site, nowhere in the NPC document and nowhere in Trevor Manuel’s speech.

Editor's Notes
- #2: Democracy is broken. People don’t trust the process anymore.
- #3: One man. One Vote. Not scaleable -- until now.
- #4: Majority Rule. Competition among Parties. Attempt to satisfy the largest number of people’s preferences.
- #5: Values: Inclusion, Equality, Reasonableness and Publicity
- #6: Public Consultation is part of a Regulatory Process whereby the public’s input is sought on matters affecting them. Its main goals are improving the efficiency and transparency of public involvement in decision-making or policy development. Consultations occur at all levels: neighbourhood, municipal, regional, state/provincial, national or even international. Regulations exist in both the public and private sectors. -This feedback loop shows how it’s supposed to work -We run into a breakdown at the consultation phase, which doesn’t give the hard evidence required for accurate deliberation and desired outcomes. -PlaceSpeak addresses the problems encountered at this stage
- #7: Public Meetings Door-knocking Land-line Telephones -Public meetings are full of NIMBYs and nutbars -Door knocking is location-based, but people don’t even answer their doors anymore -15% year over year loss of people with landlines
- #8: Trolls Gaming of the System Social Media – bogus accounts and sentiment analysis -Garbage in, garbage out is what you get with social media sentiment analysis
- #9: Authenticating digital identity to physical address -With all these factors, how do we get hard evidence?
- #10: Privacy by design Protect Individual Privacy Provide verified Data -PlaceSpeak is a Privacy by Design ambassador -Designation originated from the Ontario Privacy Commission -Proponent gets hard evidence, people stay private
- #11: Standalone websites White label application Register and Verify once Single Sign-in and API -Black box consultation vs. geoauthentication
- #12: Think of it as a LinkedIn for Public Participation Geosocial Profile setup Privacy Verification Notification Social Media integration
- #13: Features organized along the lines of the IAP2 Spectrum: (1) Inform, (2) Consult; (3) Involve; (4) Collaborate: (5) Empower
- #15: By authenticating individual identity and tying it to place. By protecting individual privacy. By keeping people informed.
