The program provides critical yet nonpartisan research for the policymaking community and guides officials in the design of new governance frameworks. It gauges crucial public support for science and weighs the overall risks and benefits of technology for society at large. The Commons Lab of STIP seeks to advance research and independent policy analysis on emerging technologies that facilitate collaborative, science-based and citizen-driven decision- making, with an emphasis on their social, legal, and ethical implications. The initiative does not advocate for or against specific technological platforms. It works to ensure these technologies are developed and used to maximize benefits while reducing risks and unintended consequences. The Commons Lab focuses on novel governance options at the “edges” where the crowd and social media operate—between formal and informal organizations and proprietary and open- source models of data ownership and access.

    Testimony of Shona L. Brown, Senior Vice President, Google.org Before the Senate Homeland Security Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Disaster Recovery and Intergovernmental Affairs Hearing on “Understanding the Power of Social Media as a Communication Tool in the Aftermath of Disasters” May 5, 2011 Chairman Pryor, Ranking Member Brown, and Members of the Committee. Thank you for your focus on the important issue of crisis response and the central role that technology now plays in disaster relief and recovery. During the past year, tens of millions of people around the world have suffered through natural disasters such as earthquakes in Haiti, Japan, Chile, China, and New Zealand; floods in Pakistan and Australia; and forest fires in Israel. Our own citizens have faced crises, with tornadoes and floods causing terrible damage in recent weeks reminding us of the toll natural disasters have on human life. Our thoughts are with the communities that have just been hit by devastating tornadoes in Alabama and across the US. As the Senior Vice President of Google.org, the philanthropic arm of Google, which includes the team that responds to natural disasters around the world, I have seen the increasing importance of Internet-based technologies in crisis response. Our team has used search and geographic-based tools to respond to over 20 crises in over 10 languages since Hurricane Katrina, and we have already responded to more crises in 2011 than we did all of last year. In the aftermath of the devastating tornadoes in Alabama last week, we supported the Red Cross by providing maps that locate nearby shelters, updated satellite imagery for first responders, and directed local users searching for “tornado” or “twister” to the maps through an enhanced search result.

  • JMAD New Zealand Media Ownership Report 2013
    JMAD New Zealand Media Ownership Report 2013 Published: November 28, 2013 Author: Merja Myllylahti This New Zealand Ownership Report 2013 published by AUT’s Centre for Journalism, Media and Democracy (JMAD) outlines how the financialisation of New Zealand media intensified as News Limited pulled out of Sky TV, and as lenders took 100 percent control of MediaWorks. In 2013, controversy erupted when it was revealed that a journalist’s phone records had been handed to a ministerial inquiry without her consent. The move was condemned by over 300 journalists as the government’s invasion of privacy was seen as a threat to media freedom. The government also passed legislation giving extra surveillance powers to the Government Communication Security Bureau (GCSB). This represented an institutional threat to journalistic autonomy. The report also finds that the bloggers and blogosphere gained prominence and influence in relation to the commercially driven mainstream media. In October 2013, there were 280 ranked blogs in New Zealand, and the top political blogs recorded high visitor numbers. Key events and trends concerning New Zealand media ownership Financial institutions take control of Sky TV and MediaWorks MediaWorks goes into receivership, keeps losing content rights Bauer media grows in influence, buys The Listener and other magazines Sky TV stirred, but not shaken by the Commerce Commission and new competitors Leading newspapers stall paywalls, local papers launch them APN and Fairfax newsrooms shrink, profit boosted by asset sales and job cuts This New Zealand Media Ownership Report is the third published by AUT’s Centre for Journalism, Media and Democracy (JMAD).

A CITY FOR ALL SEASONS A CASE STUDY OF URBAN PLACE PROMOTION by Andrea Schollmann Promoting cities as tourism de~tinations is seen as a way to enable growth. This promotion involves the projection of selective imagery to specific target groups and often includes the physical reshaping of places to fit a promotable image. Attempts to understand these processes have often focused on one of two approaches: a global perspective stressing the consumptive nature of the tourist gaze and the resultant commodification of place at the local level; and a local perspective emphasising difference and uniqueness. My thesis outlines an investigation into the promotion of the city of Christchurch, New Zealand.

Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineer- ing 2014; 61–62 (0): 83-91. SITE-SPECIFIC AND SPATIALLY-DISTRIBUTED GROUND- MOTION INTENSITY ESTIMATION IN THE 2010-2011 CANTERBURY EARTHQUAKES Brendon A Bradley1 1Department of Civil and Natural Resources Engineering, University of Canterbury, Private Bag 4800, Christchurch, New Zealand *Ph +64 3 364 2987 x 7395, [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper presents site-specific and spatially-distributed ground-motion intensity estimates which have been utilized in the aftermath of the 2010-2011 Canterbury, New Zealand earthquakes. The methodology underpinning the ground motion intensity estimation makes use of both prediction models for ground motion intensity and its within-event spatial correlation. A key benefit of the methodology is that the estimated ground motion intensity at a given location is not a single value but a distribution of values. The distribution is comprised of both a mean and standard deviation, with the standard deviation being a function of the distance to nearby observations at strong motion stations. The methodology is illustrated for two applications. Firstly, maps of conditional peak ground acceleration (PGA) have been developed for the major events in the Canterbury earthquake sequence, which among other things, have been utilized for assessing liquefaction triggering susceptibility of land in residential areas. Secondly, the conditional distribution of response spectral ordinates is obtained at the location of the Canterbury Television building (CTV), which catastrophically collapsed in the 22 February 2011 earthquake.

  • Abstract Utilization of Crowdsourcing And
    ABSTRACT UTILIZATION OF CROWDSOURCING AND VOLUNTEERED GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION IN INTERNATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT by Julaiti Nilupaer Large-scale disasters result in enormous impacts on vulnerable communities worldwide, and data acquisition has become a major concern in this time-critical situation: the limitations of geospatial technologies impede the real-time data collection, also the absent or poor data collection in some regions. With the current advances of Web 2.0, crowdsourcing and Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) have become commonly used. As a potential solution to fill the gap of real-time geographic data, crowdsourcing and VGI enable timely information exchange through a voluntary approach and enhance amateur citizen participation. Importantly, such geographic information can substantially facilitate emergency coordination by fulfilling the needs of impacted communities and appropriately allocating relief supplies and funds. My research interest centers on the utilization of crowdsourcing and VGI for disaster management. Particularly, I work to explore their potential value and contributions by reviewing two notable and destructive disaster events as case studies: the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, and the 2013 Typhoon Haiyan. In addition, I examine the challenges of this information and seek potential solutions. This research aims to contribute a comprehensive qualitative analysis of how Volunteer and Technical Communities (V&TCs) have used crowdsourced data and VGI to enhance the coordination of disaster management.
