ParKli
In the ParKli research project, the consequences of climate change on local natural and living spaces are investigated through citizen science (CS) activities. Existing systems that actively involve citizens in the data collection and measure development process are integrated for this purpose. The central research question is:
How can existing applications and data sources from environmental informatics be integrated to develop local climate impact adaptation measures together with citizens?
ParKli draws on existing applications (APPs/sensors) and data sets and encourages further development. The central goal is to create interfaces between the data from different CS projects and to aggregate them. By creating interfaces and enriching data with publicly available data, high-quality data sets are generated in ParKli. This data basis should enable researchers and citizens to enter a constructive exchange, jointly develop and actively apply measures for climate impact adaptation. The aggregated data is processed and presented using visualization methods to create a comprehensible basis for communication. By integrating various data sources and actively involving citizens, the potential of open data, citizen science and crowd sourcing will be fully exploited. The aim of ParKli is to work with key stakeholders to develop a toolkit with best practice recommendations (technologies, measures, processes, etc.) for early warning systems for climate adaptation.
