CIVIC-FA Track A: Youth-Centered Civic Technology, Science, and Art for Improving Community Heat Resilience Infrastructure

这个公民创新挑战全额奖（civc - fa）项目解决了气候变化导致城市温度升高的风险。它开发并试行了一种新颖的方法，将青年艺术、科学技术和精神结合起来。计划中的活动为政府和居民提供了丰富的数据，以指导他们的规划和减灾工作。该项目汇集了学术研究人员、政府官员和民间组织者，以促进创伤的愈合和未来的规划。适应和抵御气候变化的核心是为青年创造有意义的角色，并深刻理解组织伙伴关系。该项目还探讨了技术如何使决策更具包容性。在城市中，历史上被边缘化的社区往往气温较高，而用于减少与热有关的风险的资源却较少。与居住在这些社区的居民接触至关重要，但也很困难，因为歧视性的城市规划做法留下了深刻的创伤。制定罗阿诺克方法（创伤知情复原力规划）是为了通过公共政策支持社区福祉和康复。该项目评估了参与跨组织伙伴关系如何影响城市热问题和潜在解决方案的概念化。该团队还创建了新的数字平台，旨在展示城市在冲击和灾害背景下的过去、现在和未来愿景。研究-公民伙伴关系产生的活动和培训材料可以转移到其他面临类似挑战的城市，包括有限的组织能力，居民和政府之间的不信任，以及使建筑环境适应气候变化的迫切需求。公民创新挑战赛是能源部、国土安全部和国家科学基金会的合作项目。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This Civic Innovation Challenge Full Award (CIVIC-FA) project addresses the risk of increasing temperatures in cities due to climate change. It develops and pilots a novel approach that integrates youth arts, science and technology, and spirituality. The planned activities provide governments and residents with rich data to guide their planning and mitigation efforts. The project brings together academic researchers, government officials, and civic organizers to facilitate healing from trauma and planning for the future. Central to climate change adaptation and resilience is the creation of meaningful roles for youth as well as a deep understanding of organizational partnerships. The project also explores how technology can make decision-making more inclusive.Within cities, historically marginalized neighborhoods often have measurably higher temperatures and fewer resources to reduce heat-related risks. Engaging with the residents living in those neighborhoods is critical yet difficult, due to the legacies of discriminatory urban planning practices that have left deep traumas. The Roanoke Method (trauma-informed resilience planning) is developed to support community well-being and healing through public policies. The project evaluates how participation in cross-organization partnerships affects conceptualizations of the problem of urban heat and potential solutions. The team also creates new digital platforms designed to present past, present, and future visions of the city in the context of shocks and disasters. The activities and training materials produced from the research-civic partnership could be transferable to other cities facing similar challenges including limited organizational capacity, mistrust between residents and government, and pressing needs to adapt built environments to climate change.The CIVIC Innovation Challenge is a collaboration with Department of Energy, Department of Homeland Security, and the National Science FoundationThis award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
