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

这一公民创新挑战全奖(Civic-FA)项目解决了由于气候变化而导致城市气温上升的风险。它开发和试点了一种融合了青年艺术、科学技术和灵性的新方法。规划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缓解工作。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对未来的规划。气候变化适应和复原力的核心是为青年创造有意义的作用以及对组织伙伴关系的深刻理解。该项目还探索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通常气温较高，资源较少，无法减少与高温相关的风险。与居住在这些社区的居民打交道是至关重要的，但也很困难，因为歧视性的城市规划做法留下了深深的创伤。罗阿诺克方法(创伤信息复原力规划)是为了通过公共政策支持社区福祉和康复而开发的。该项目评估参与跨组织伙伴关系如何影响城市热问题的概念化和潜在的解决办法。该团队还创建了新的数字平台，旨在在冲击和灾难的背景下呈现城市的过去、现在和未来的愿景。从研究-公民合作伙伴关系中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，以及使建成环境适应气候变化的迫切需求。公民创新挑战是与能源部、国土安全部和国家科学基金会合作的。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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.
