44. Looking Ahead โ Data Collection
โ Current ArcGIS model built with proxy data
โ Better data = better feedback = more relevant information for San Josรฉ
planners and citizens
โ Potential project for spring quarter - data collection / collection strategy
โ More granular PG&E data available
48. ISSUES TO ADDRESS
โ If you did an iterative design process, worth mentioning/mentioning relevant insights if they are particularly significant.
โ How do you make ppl interested in using the dashboard in the first place?
โ How do you ensure ppl aren't trolling/giving fake info?
โ Worth thinking a bit about ways to build interactivity re: communication into the dashboard - rn its mostly just about
visualizing one's sustainability, not rly talking about it/providing feedback to the government.
โ I think the dashboard would be most helpful if data is provided in a more simple/immediate way - this is already being
done for sure, but one area that jumps out to me is some automated summary of info based on data entry with like
"you're doing best in..." and "you're doing worst in..." categories.
