Citizen Sensing

Citizen Sensing lies at the heart of RURALITIES, actively involving rural communities in monitoring and assessing project impacts. By empowering local citizens to collect and share valuable data, this approach ensures that community voices directly influence the ongoing development and refinement of project activities. Through Citizen Sensing, communities gain the opportunity to clearly express their experiences and observations, enabling the RURALITIES consortium to swiftly recognize emerging issues and respond effectively.

RURALITIES Impact Summary https://mics.tools/

Central to the Citizen Sensing initiative is inclusivity, actively promoting participation from diverse groups including women, youth, marginalized populations, and individuals facing literacy barriers. This broad-based involvement fosters a deeper, community-driven understanding of impacts and supports the creation of targeted, meaningful solutions—ultimately enhancing the project’s positive outcomes and sustainability.

RURALITIES project Machine Learning Scores on MICS https://mics.tools/projects/ruralities/summary

The RURALITIES project impact sensing framework is grounded in the MICS (Measuring the Impact of Citizen Science) methodology. RURALITIES will use MICS to measure the project’s social impact through an extensive and exhaustive list of approximately 200 indicators spread across five domains.
