]]> Throughout winter and spring quarters, 2017, work took place to develop a modern GIS map of the Edmonds Memorial Cemetery, together with a web interface that would support public exploration of the cemetery. An intern conducted the great bulk of the work, with assistance from eight students. The main product of the effort is the digital files delivered to Edmonds, with this document of secondary importance. Numerous visits were made to Edmonds to meet with officials, discuss the scope of work, and conduct field work. A presentation regarding the project was given on June 9, 2017, to an audience of interested officials and citizens.

]]> This project was completed as part of the 2018-2019 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with Ramsey County. Ramsey County wanted to create a single web-mapping application designed to improve coordination among city and county public works departments of road construction and maintenance projects included in their respective five-year plans. Ideally, the application would display the projects proposed by all participants on one platform, and project information could be updated continuously to reflect funding changes, construction delays, and other timeline adjustments. In addition, the application would allow users to identify potential geographic or temporal conflicts among constructions projects, and would include a public interface to allow residents to view the status of upcoming and ongoing projects. Ramsey County project lead Matt Koukol worked with a team of students in Justin Hansen’s GIS 5574: Web GIS and Services course to design a data model, data-presentation methodology, and prototype application, using the County’s enterprise geodatabase and ArcGIS Online as the platform for the web application. The students’ final presentation describing the application is available.

]]> PLACE would like to encourage residents to engage in sustainable behaviors and to create community at the same time. Using a user-centered design approach, CISC 321 students will design a prototype EcoVillage ‘Energy Champion’ app to encourage energy conservation and create community through friendly competition.

]]> Using graphic designs from students in the School of Art & Art History, UI student Kaisha Billings built a community-based mobile app on behalf of the City of Mason City and Visit Mason City that connects residents and visitors to the local activities and resources.

]]> Students selected projects related to “Smart City Technologies and User Experience”, focusing on issues with housing, mobility, and transportation in Omaha. Working on teams of 3, students will develop a series of design alternatives for a novel interface addressing the chosen problem, build a prototype of the design, and conduct an evaluation of the prototype’s usability using human centered design principles.

]]> A team of undergraduate computer science students participating in BU Spark! will build a real-time, online dashboard
visualizing information about Chelsea’s city services and priority budget impact areas. This scorecard project will be
similar to the Mayor’s Dashboard in Boston City Hall. The City of Chelsea will use this new tool to instantly access
information about city operations and spending across departments.

]]> A team of undergraduate computer science students participating in BU Spark! will compile and analyze various
datasets to understand how real estate prices, homeownership, and business ownership trends have changed over
time. The City of Chelsea will use this information to visualize, contextualize, and analyze how rising real estate prices
may be contributing to displacement in some neighborhoods.
