Design Problem
Wouldn't it be better if there was more citizen participation in government? Wouldn't it be better if there was transparency in creation of government policy and legislation? We want to empower citizens to become a part of the policy and lawmaking process. Therefore we have solicited ideas for mobile applications that enable people to engage directly with their government. We strive to solve key issues important to citizens today and explore solutions through creation of new and innovative mobile design concepts.
The idea generation phase yielded over 100 interesting ideas for mobile technology that could improve citizen engagement in government. Of these ideas, we have selected 3 top ideas that we would like to explore further during this LUX challenge.
Please choose ONE of the following ideas and create the visual design to bring the ideas into LIVE apps:
IDEA NUMBER 1:
Overview:
- An application that allows citizens to report problems (such as trash, noise, graffiti, etc.) in their environment. Reported problems are directed to the appropriate government organization and citizens are able to track the problem's resolution.
- Some design considerations for this idea:
-- Can you incorporate augmented reality features? Similar to Pokemon Go, can users either drop pins or capture tokens as they move around their cities? For example, enable users to drop pins on a map by physically visiting the location where there is a problem (e.g. uprooted tree in sidewalk, graffiti). Government can then collect these pins and get the problem solved.
-- Can you incorporate gamification components? How does your application incentivize and reward citizens for use? Do citizens receive tokens or points for identifying a problem? Perhaps there is a leader boards for the community that shows the most involved citizens at the top of the board. How do those point/tokens benefit the user? Do they receive rewards in their community/ neighborhood (restaurant gift cards, free trash pickup, money back on their taxes, etc.)?
-- Notifications and awareness - we want to make sure citizens are able to track the progress of the problems they identify through resolution. What is the best way to show this in the application for users? Some of the key stages in resolution might include "Identified", "Reported", "Escalated", "Solution Plannin", and "Resolved". Users should be notified when their reported problems hit the "resolved" stage.
-- Other creative features for the application - we want your ideas too! Are there other features that should be included in this application as well? For example, should citizens be able to report positive things (such as green space, friendly public workers, etc.)? What if users could get notifications when they are near important figures (e.g. politicians)? Can a user browse local news in their specific area/ GPS location?
- Required Functionality:
-- Citizens can identify a problem and report this problem to the government via the application
-- Reported problems are classified by severity and by impact. Severity is based on the number of citizens that report the problem. Severity classification can be "Low", "Medium", and "High". Reported problems can be classified by "Impact" based on how many people work and live in the area the problem is identified in. For example, graffiti identified in a heavily populated area would be a "High" impact vs. graffiti in a less trafficked area of the city.
-- Citizen is notified when the problems he / she identify are resolved and/ or moves to the next stage of the progress (see above)
-- Citizen can set a "home" location and a radius for alerts. If there are a lot of problems identified within the distance specified of his/ her home, the citizen/ user will be alerted by the application. Citizens can set preferences for types of alerts (e.g. only notified about nearby Crime)
IDEA NUMBER 2:
Overview:
- An application that provides citizens a forum or way to discuss ideas, brainstorm, and develop solutions to their local government's challenges. These ideas could be submitted by citizens themselves, or government officials could launch "idea challenges" that solicit solutions to their greatest challenges.
- Some design considerations for this idea:
-- The goal of this app is to allow for open brainstorming and ideation for solutions to problems (e.g. where should the govt locate a new building, how to address a problem with government budget, how to get more citizens to vote in local elections). How can you design an experience and application that allows users to submit ideas, comment / vote on the ideas of others, and help ideas progress from ideation to be more fleshed out / possible solutions?
-- Can you create an application that facilitates the progression of ideas from ideation to full solution? Perhaps there is a "forum" or "board" where users submit their ideas for a certain problem. Then these ideas could go to a "vote" phase...those ideas that get a certain number of votes will move into the "Definition" stage in which users are able to comment on those top ideas, suggest ways to improve them, and further define the idea. After this the most promising solutions get moved into the "Planning" phase by the government and users can track progress on the solutions planning and eventual implementation.
-- Can lawmakers/ government officials/ politicians have special profiles that enable them to interact and ideate on the platform; with the users? What does this side of the app look like/ how does it function?
-- How do you incentivize citizens to post ideas and solutions? Are there gamification elements you could include in this application?
-- Notifications and awareness - we want to make sure citizens are able to track the progress of proposed solutions to see if they are implemented. What is the best way to show this in the application for users? Some of the key stages in solutioning might include "Ideation", "Voting", "Definition", "Planning" and "Implementation".
- Required Functionality:
-- App manages a list of key challenges and top problems for a defined period of time (e.g. month). These problems could be posted by citizens themselves or local lawmakers / politicians.
-- These key Challenges / problems should be organized by categories. These categories include "Education", "Health", "Energy & Environment", "Transportation", "Public Safety", "Welfare", and "Administration"
-- Citizens can submit ideas and solutions to the key government challenges / top problems
-- Citizens can comment on other ideas
-- Citizens can vote on their favorite ideas
-- Citizens can set notification preferences for challenge categories of interest. For example, I want to be notified whenever a challenge gets posted within "Education" category. Then I will login and post my ideas that solve this education problem.
IDEA NUMBER 3:
Overview:
- An application that helps citizens stay more informed and educated about certain topics in their communities.
- Some design considerations for this idea include:
-- How can you keep citizens educated on the local topics, issues, and news? Perhaps this is a live feed that updates as new articles, tweets, or local issues occur. Are there other creative ways to display this information? Can you recommend a summary view of key information?
-- This application must enable users to consume information and educate themselves. However, could users also contribute or post information as well? Perhaps this app could have a "Live Discussion Room" feature that enables users to discuss and debate local news/ issues. Or perhaps you can incorporate a "Ask the Expert" feature which provides a reddit style forum with key government officials on the week's top topics.
-- Other ideas - get creative! The goal of this application is to keep users up to date and informed on their local government issues and news. How would you want to consume information like this? How would you want to get involved?
- Required functionality:
-- App should have a media style feed that contains the most recent updates about certain local issues (think twitter-style feed, New York Times app, etc.)
-- Citizens should have the ability to subscribe to political updates/news according to topic, location, and political person. Receive notifications or based on these selections / updates
-- Citizens should be able to receive alerts about key government issues in their neighborhood. Users can set the radius of the alerts for distance away from my their homes
