Roadmap

Hollandse Luchten | Citizen Sensing

  • Kick-off

    Bring all your stakeholders together with an informative and celebratory start of your project

  • Train the trainer

    Enable active community members (Hollandse Helden) to take on responsibility and organise their local community

  • Ambition ranking (meetvragen)

    Get a clear view of shared goals and formulate measurement questions

  • Geographical mapping

    Map out where the issues occur, and where sensors should be placed

  • Sensing strategy

    Define what, when and why you are measuring

  • Optional: hackathon

    A design sprint for smart objects around air quality

  • DIY sensor

    Assemble the sensors together with the community members

  • Calibration

    Align your sensors with official sensor stations in order to ensure accurate and meaningfull measurements

  • Optional: walk shop

    Example: an excursion to an official measuring station

  • Optional: artistic exploration

    Explore how air quality data can take on different meanings when presented as crockery

  • Data analysis

    Start analysing and explore the collected data together with the help of an expert

  • Data visualization

    Enabling participants of the project to conduct their own analyses on the data by visualizing it

  • Reflection

    Reflect on the pilot phase and think about the next steps

  • Feedback

    Ask for feedback from your community to formulate learnings for the next stage or similar projects around you

  • Open source hardware

    Publish the designs and codes for the hardware on GitHub, or a different public platform

This is the practice timeline of the Hollandse Luchten project in the Netherlands. It is a citizen science project aimed at measuring the air quality through citizen sensing, in order to support collective action towards an improved living environment. For more information visit hollandse-luchten.org. This timeline intends to communicate what steps have been taken in the Hollandse Luchten project, why, and instruct on how to conduct these for your project as well!
