Cityleeks.org

CityLeeks.org is an effective tool to influence residents to representatives of authorities, organizations and services that are responsible for maintaining order in a certain area in the city, in the area.
We all face various significant problems around us (the pits on the roads and in the yards, scrap yard, icicles on the roof, selling cigarettes and alcohol to minors, etc.), i.e. such problems that concern not only us personally, and annoy many people. We want to be responsible for maintaining order in the territory of the organization responded to our requests promptly, and the result of their work for us.
Service CityLeeks.org allows any person to report such issues to monitor and evaluate the work of the relevant services. Openness, publicity and draw attention to the problem, that's the mechanisms that force the responsible organization to act quickly and do more responsibly.

This topic says "read-only" user Robik and uploaded at his request. Therefore answers to questions may appear with a big delay.

Initially, this service was created as a clone of the widely known open the Internet site "My territory" (streetjournal.org). Therefore, even part of the description of service is very similar to their text.
But gradually began to appear new ideas for the development of this service, which today I will tell you. Some of them already implemented and some are still preparing for release.

problem

This function allows you to view the grounds which are a problem with Webcams. Also at the time of adding problems into the photo album simple shots with web cameras that display this problem.



In addition, the map shows all areas that are covered by the web cameras. When you click on that, you can view the footage from the webcam.

Alerts and problems

Over time it became clear that all the information that users add to the map, should be divided into two streams:
the

Notification – allows you to inform people or the responsible organization of any situation. For example, ice, an accident, or dirty snow. The alert displayed on the map specified time (default 3 hours); the

• Problem is the "real" problem (garbage dump, pit road, etc.), which requires time for its decision. The problem will be displayed on the map prior to your final decision.

On the map different types of information displays labels with a different color:
the

Notification – the label is orange in color;

Open issue – mark red;

Closed issue – green label.

In addition, each category of problem has its own icon. In addition to this, for convenient display of a large number of icons we use clustering.

Analysis and forecasting

One of the key features that will distinguish this service from others is the analysis and prediction(!) socio-crime climate of the territory. This feature will allow you to analyze incoming information (in addition to information coming from users is used and other sources) and based on these data, to identify the most unfavorable areas, as well as to build a forecast for the development of climate ("social wind"). We do "quite interesting", so I'll leave the description of this process for the following articles.

Mobile customers

Soon will be the first mobile client (iOS). The app is already in development.
If are wishing to help the project and implement mobile clients for other OS, please write to mail. Will be glad to help.

Opinion

The main aim of this articles is to understand whether the cost to do this project next, and the correct way we are going. Therefore, it will be very interesting to read the comments and opinions of the community Habrahabr.

PS to fool around on test server
