What people need in the neighborhood?
Interview residents & entrepreneurs
• Interviewed a number people living in Indische Buurt
• Capture their experience about initiating or participating in neighborhood activities
Using Meevaart
“people living in Balistraat asking me what’s going in in de Meevaart”
Tim, living on Balistraat
“(I came to the building because) I thought there is a cooking activity in every Friday evening. But it isn't. Staff could not give me clear information”
- Heny, living on Javastraat
“I used to give a Yoga class at the building, however I could not get enough participants in every session”
Social dynamics
“… Young Atelier uses different kinds of spaces, Meevaart, Badhius, Dynamo ect…”
“I have been searching space for my project where people can cook, and turn recycling into
useful products”
“Citizens feel the need for more transparency about using space”
“there are many accommodations in the neighborhood and there is nobody who has a complete overview”
Current booking practice: flyers + calendar
• Flyers in main lobby• Weekly room schedule posted on the board
(static)
Current booking practice: back-end
Channels for booking request:2-30% call to Nooshi then she ask sending an email60% via emails20 % people come up to the office and ask in person5% use google formsWho is involved?many staff and volunteers are involved in the booking process.
Iterative approach
1 2 3 4
• Prioritize the most necessary functionality • Neighbors and Meevaart can both use the public
calendar• Derive directories of rooms, people, activities
DEMO TIME!
Next steps
• Complete booking portion of the tool• Expose a public calendar of events • Add functionality to allow residents to publish
initiatives and reach interested people
Next steps – Calendar impression (1)
Next steps – Calendar impression 2
Discussions
1. How to motivate and encourage initiatives and organisations managing accommodations to use our web tool?
2. How can we make most use of data derived from the app? (e.g. directory of users, space, initiatives, events)
3. How to smoothly hand over this project from Code for Europe to Indische Buurt?
