We developed Wandertrust, a system to encourage and improve access to public spaces. This is proof of concept at the moment, with initial data aggregation and processing, and a placeholder app and website.

When used well, good public spaces are able to build a sense of community, improve health and wellbeing, and provide safe meeting areas in a post-COVID area. How can we improve public spaces and encourage people to use them?
We propose an integrated system to take open data on public spaces, enrich it with constant feedback from users of public spaces, and present this data to users and providers of the public spaces. Users will have an app to receive personalised public space recommendations based upon their preferences and provide actionable insights back to providers (councils & governments) based upon what can be improved about each public space.
Providers can use this feedback to assess how public spaces are being used, how to improve existing public spaces, and how to provide new public spaces to answer unmet requirements.
Public spaces are identified by QR codes. Accessing this code without the app will lead to the website, where feedback can be provided and the app can be downloaded. Using the app to scan the QR code will lead to the same feedback interface.
The user can search for public spaces through the app, with a list of criteria applied to the search. Some example searches are: parks with playgrounds, sports facilities currently available, or accessible spaces with shaded seating.
Users will also be able to build an anonymous or pseudonymous public profile through the app, with possible gamification based on incentives.
For users who do not use the app nor the QR codes, we suggest feedback kiosks in key amenities for quick and easy feedback. Data from the kiosk is wirelessly sent back to the app backend. The kiosks would present a substantially simplified, robust interface to withstand outdoor weather conditions.
Description of Use Quantify car park occupancy near public spaces.
Description of Use Real-time mobility data (can be used to quantify occupancy rates in public spaces)
Description of Use Use the API to retrieve tweets in locations of interest (within the proximity of public spaces) to understand sentiment associated with their usage.
Description of Use Used for feature engineering for exercise friendly flag
Description of Use Use in map view and database of public spaces of interest, highlight underutilised spaces or locations under development and seek community feedback for it
Description of Use Potential use for database of public spaces, search is based on address not lat/long so use Google API to conduct geocoding with the addresses as input. Feed through address to a function which outputs a pair of latitude/longitude co-ordinates.
Description of Use Reference for development of user stories
Description of Use Use definitions and framework in story
Description of Use Use metrics in survey/recommendation engine
Description of Use Ranking different councils based on the number of public spaces
Description of Use Limited
Description of Use "Use the ranking dataset (link - here) as a proxy for safety. PK: LGA - rankings by various crimes (separate rankings partitioned by tabs) for 2018-2020 for NSW LGAs. Crime types (separate tab for each): - Assault - domestic violence - Assault - non-domestic violence - Sexual offences - Robbery - Break and enter dwelling - Break and enter non-dwelling - Motor vehicle theft - 5 more Idea: Take the mean / median rank score across all crimes (note this assumes crimes are of equal severity score but for simplicity's sake this would suffice)"
Description of Use Compare geographical regions to determine proximity and/or accesibility to public spaces Ability to determine socioeconomic environment of an area.
Eligibility: Must use at least one open dataset.
