The purpose of this project is to research and develop a business & technical model for a webbased
geo-authenticated public consultation service. Combining methodologies from social
media, e-commerce & community consultation, the project will analyze best practices in each
area to determine the most appropriate model for a scalable platform for targeted community
engagement. Qualitative & technical research, in addition to a beta site evaluation at the City of
Vancouver, will be conducted to provide the basis for developing the final report and prototype
model. The research will be used by the partner to refine the business model and move to the
next stage of business & technical development. The eventual goal is a scalable, re-usable
plaform that validates user locational identity within privacy constraints, for the purposes of
implementing online community participation tools that will aid in public policy decision
making.
