“Think and comment on the following example: Habitats of a certain neighborhood don’t feel safe when they walk in their neighborhood in the evening and during the night. You are working for the local government and want to solve this problem through improvement of the public spaces. How would you start-up a Citizen Design Science project? *” I would start up a citizen design project by first asking for volunteers of the neighborhood, then I would like to get feedback from as many people as possible in the neighborhood. I would want input from business owners, residents, children and employees who come and go. If they didn’t feel safe, we would have to address why that is, what makes them feel that way besides the onset of nighttime and how they would feel better & safer. In a situation like this, it’s extremely important that all participants stay in constant clear communication with each other. I would create a web group as well as social media accounts with constant updates and of course full participation with neighborhood leadership and cooperation of local law enforcement. Better lighting, CCTV surveillance system, and the implementation of a neighborhood watch program as well volunteers to patrol areas during the night. Thank You, Max Brizer
