This study examines the effectiveness of a crowdsourced participatory Geoweb data reporting application, known as SeeClickFix, related to flood events in the context of socioeconomic and biophysical vulnerabilities. Empirical data analysis to determine the socio-spatial characteristics of flood-related reporting trends between 2013 and 2017 from four diverse neighborhoods highlights two important capabilities of crowdsourced data i) identify unique problems experienced by diverse communities and thus address marginalization in managing flood related problems and ii) identify the patterns in types of problems experienced by neighborhoods characterized by divergent socioeconomic and biophysical vulnerabilities. Further, analysis of adoption rates of SeeClickFix in the context of neighborhood characteristics provides valuable insights into the scope of voluntary geographic information (VGI) and its potential role in participatory decision-making. Results indicate that problems of standing water/mosquito complaints are the majority of flood related reports in a high socioeconomic status and biophysically vulnerable neighborhoods, while stormwater infrastructure dominates repeated reports in socioeconomically vulnerable area, suggesting inadequate maintenance of critical infrastructures. Finally, the early adoption of the app and steady increase of reports in poorer neighborhoods during the study period indicates that crowdsourcing of data through a participatory Geoweb has the potential to give voice to marginalized communities and foster transparency.

这项研究探讨了在社会经济和生物物理脆弱性背景下，与洪水事件有关的众包参与式Geoweb数据报告应用程序（称为SeeClickFix）的有效性。通过经验数据分析来确定四个不同社区在2013年至2017年之间与洪水有关的报告趋势的社会空间特征，这突出显示了众包数据的两项重要功能：i）识别不同社区所遇到的独特问题，从而解决在管理与洪水有关的问题中的边缘化问题; ii）确定以社会经济和生物物理脆弱性为特征的社区所经历的问题类型的模式。进一步，对SeeClickFix在社区特征范围内的采用率的分析提供了宝贵的见解，可以了解自愿地理信息（VGI）的范围及其在参与性决策中的潜在作用。结果表明，死水/蚊虫投诉的问题是处于高社会经济地位和生物物理脆弱社区的大多数与洪水有关的报告，而雨水基础设施则是社会经济脆弱地区反复发生的报告的主要内容，表明关键基础设施的维护不足。最后，在研究期间，较早采用该应用程序并在较贫困的社区中稳定增加报告的数量，这表明通过参与性Geoweb进行的众包数据具有为边缘化社区表达声音并提高透明度的潜力。
