“…O aplicativo surgiu de uma iniciativa entre a Floris'Tic e a Fundação Agropolis, em 2009, com o objetivo de criar formas de identificação, catalogação e compartilhamento de espécies de vegetações. Seu desenvolvimento resultou de uma pesquisa denominada ciência cidadã (comumente argumentada na literatura como citizen science), a qual se fundamenta na participação de cidadãos que não são pesquisadores profissionais, mas que auxiliam de forma consciente e voluntária em investigações científicas (14).…”

O trabalho tem como objetivo investigar o uso do aplicativo PlantNet como instrumento didático no ensino de projeto paisagístico, abordando as experiências de discentes do curso de arquitetura e urbanismo. A partir do processo de definição da vegetação, buscou-se relacionar a construção coletiva de um banco de dados digital, baseado em realidade aumentada, como um processo de aprendizagem estruturado em situações cotidianas reais. Como estratégia metodológica, a pesquisa, classificada como pesquisa-ação, constitui de uma oficina experimental com coleta de dados empírica, questionários e observação participante. O tratamento dos dados decorreu de análise de conteúdo com triangulação das evidências coletadas, a qual contribuiu para a síntese dos dados qualitativos, relacionando-os com as convergências e divergências da literatura existente. Como resultados, foi observado que ferramentas de reconhecimento de vegetação permitem novas formas de ensinoaprendizagem baseadas na catalogação de vegetação em geral, estimulando alunos na elaboração de fichas de vegetação mais amplas e baseadas na estrutura real do paisagismo.

“…Specific keywords were evaluated to search relevant references. However, due to the very diverse terminology for citizen science, as discussed by Eitzel et al (2017), data integration, formal and informal, it resulted a long and non-exhaustive list of keywords combinations. Therefore, a selected keywords combination was first used to select relevant papers.…”

“…In the Oxford Dictionaries (2018), citizen science is defined as "The collection and analysis of data relating to the natural world by members of the general public, typically as part of a collaborative project with professional scientists". However, there is no consensus on one citizen science definition and its definitions are evolving (Eitzel et al, 2017). In this thesis, the integration of informal data produced by citizens and formal data produced by experts are studied.…”

“…Though citizens have long been involved in science, the term citizen science is still new and evolving. There is as yet no wide consensus about the definition, as underlined in a paper by members of the European Citizen Science Association (ECSA), the Citizen Science Association (CSA) and the Australian Citizen Science Association (ACSA) (Eitzel et al, 2017). The current paper defines citizen science as including not only communities but also individuals performing scientific activities ranging from posing research questions to finding answers with or without the involvement of professional scientists (Bonney et al, 2016;Haklay, 2013;Lewenstein, 2016;See et al, 2016).…”

Citizen sensing for environmental information

Citizen science is increasingly being used in diverse research domains. With the emergence and rapid development of sensor technologies, citizens potentially have more powerful tools to collect data and generate information to understand their living environment. Although sensor technologies are developing fast, citizen sensing has not been widely implemented yet and published studies are only a few. In this paper, we analyse the practical experiences from an implementation of citizen sensing for urban environment monitoring. A bottom up model in which citizens develop and use sensors for environmental monitoring is described and assessed. The paper focuses on a case study of Amsterdam Smart Citizens Lab using NO2 sensors for air quality monitoring. We found that the bottom up citizen sensing is still challenging but can be successful with open cooperation and effective use of online and offline facilities. Based on the assessment, suggestions are proposed for further implementations and research.

Several studies in Lake Tanganyika have effectively employed traditional methods to explore changes in water quality in open waters; however, coastal monitoring has been restricted and sporadic, relying on costly sample and analytical methods that require skilled technical staff. This study aims in validating citizen science water quality collected data (nitrate, phosphate and turbidity) with those collected and measured by professional scientists in the laboratory. A second objective of the study is to use citizen scientist data to identify the patterns of seasonal and spatial variations in nutrient conditions and forecast potential changes based on expected changes in population and climate (to 2050). The results showed that the concentrations of nitrate and phosphate measured by citizen scientists nearly matched those established by professional scientists, with overall accuracy of 91% and 74%, respectively. For total suspended solids measured by professional and turbidity measured by citizen scientists, results show that, using 14 NTU as a cut-off, citizen scientist measurements of Secchi tube depth to identify lake TSS below 7.0 mg/L showed an accuracy of 88%. In both laboratory and citizen scientist-based studies, all measured water quality variables were significantly higher during the wet season compared to the dry season. Climate factors were discovered to have a major impact on the likelihood of exceeding water quality restrictions in the next decades (2050), which could deteriorate lake conditions. Upscaling citizen science to more communities on the lake and other African Great Lakes would raise environmental awareness, inform management and mitigation activities, and aid long-term decision-making.
