KARL+ - Urban design Project

KA+ (KARLplus) is my project for the Seminar "People as Sensors" that I'm following this Semester at the KIT (Karlsruher Institut für Technologie). We were asked to think of a innovative way to discover and measure citizen's feeling. My idea is to give a smart role to social networks (as Instagram, Foursquare and Facebook) and to use them to involve the citizens. The process is divided into two easy steps. At first these's the analysis of different spots in the city though post, likes, rankings and visitors (data obtained from the social networks), then through a dedicated Instagram profile, the citizens are invited to share their own opinions about the topic of the day (e.g. the Castle, University, gardens and so on).
