Over the last decade growing amounts of government data have been made available in an attempt to increase transparency and civic participation, but it is unclear if this data serves non-expert communities due to gaps in access and the technical knowledge needed to interpret this "open" data. We conducted a two-year design study focused on the creation of a community-based data display using the United States Environmental Protection Agency data on water permit violations by oil storage facilities on the Chelsea Creek in Massachusetts to explore whether situated data physicalization and Participatory Action Research could support meaningful engagement with open data. We selected this data as it is of interest to local groups and available online, yet remains largely invisible and inaccessible to the Chelsea community. The resulting installation, Chemicals in the Creek, responds to the call for community-engaged visualization processes and provides an application of situated methods of data representation. It proposes event-centered and power-aware modes of engagement using contextual and embodied data representations. The design of Chemicals in the Creek is grounded in interactive workshops and we analyze it through event observation, interviews, and community outcomes. We reflect on the role of community engaged research in the Information Visualization community relative to recent conversations on new approaches to design studies and evaluation.

溪中的化学品:与社区一起设计开放政府数据的情境数据物理化

在过去十年中,为了提高透明度和公民参与,提供了越来越多的政府数据,但由于获取方面的差距和解释这种“开放性”所需的技术知识,尚不清楚这些数据是否为非专家社区服务。 “ 数据。我们进行了一项为期两年的设计研究,重点是使用美国环境保护署关于马萨诸塞州切尔西溪石油储存设施违反用水许可的数据创建基于社区的数据显示,以探索是否有情境数据物理化和参与式行动研究可以支持对开放数据的有意义的参与。我们之所以选择这些数据,是因为它对当地团体很感兴趣,并且可以在线获取,但切尔西社区在很大程度上仍然不可见和无法访问。由此产生的装置,小溪中的化学品,响应了社区参与可视化过程的呼吁,并提供了数据表示的定位方法的应用。它提出了使用上下文和具体数据表示的以事件为中心和权力意识的参与模式。Chemicals in the Creek 的设计以互动研讨会为基础,我们通过事件观察、访谈和社区成果对其进行分析。我们反思了社区参与研究在信息可视化社区中相对于最近关于设计研究和评估新方法的对话的作用。它提出了使用上下文和具体数据表示的以事件为中心和权力意识的参与模式。Chemicals in the Creek 的设计以互动研讨会为基础,我们通过事件观察、访谈和社区成果对其进行分析。我们反思了社区参与研究在信息可视化社区中相对于最近关于设计研究和评估新方法的对话的作用。它使用上下文和具体数据表示提出了以事件为中心和权力意识的参与模式。Chemicals in the Creek 的设计以互动研讨会为基础,我们通过事件观察、访谈和社区成果对其进行分析。我们反思了社区参与研究在信息可视化社区中相对于最近关于设计研究和评估新方法的对话的作用。
