Community of practice: Citizen Science for a greener Adelaide
In this community of practice session, guest presenter Dr Helen Barrie discussed how a citizen science approach was used to explore perceptions and use of green spaces in Adelaide.
This project aimed to understand what makes quality green spaces for citizens of metropolitan Adelaide. Trialling the use of a web-based geospatial survey tool the project recruited 44 active citizen scientists from nine participating Adelaide councils to complete audits of the green spaces they visit as part of their daily lives.
The Community of Practice for Citizen Science in Prevention aims to bring together people from research, policy, practice, and community settings who have an interest in citizen science approaches in chronic disease prevention research.
