A Docker-based spatial discourse ecosystem to support community engagement and public participation for landscape and urban planning projects.
We’re a group of enthusiasts from landscape and urban planning, data science and system engineering, who work on open collaboration and spatial knowledge discovery tools for application to the fields of public planning and citizen science. theplink.org is a staging area for demonstration of our tools such as thePlink-docker, an integrated spatial discourse ecosystem made for self-hosting. The P in thePlink may refer to Planning, Projects, People, or Participation; or Personal & Public Values, Perspectives; or Perception.
Waynesboro (mainstreet21)
Social media has become a valuable source of data for urban planners to gather critical information. In the project, we propose to use analytical and mapping techniques to unearth the potentials of Location Based Social Networks (LBSNs) by extracting critical information for community design and planning in Waynesboro, VA.
