This app streamlines the collection of observational data. In this project, we were collecting observational data about where litter and waste bins are located around Boulder. This app allows you to enter a descriptor, grab your location and time; and then automatically uploads this data to my Google sheet for analysis.

I then took this data and visualized it here:

Funnily enough, it was really just me and a group member’s walk home from class.

This is a prototype for one could use crowd-sourcing to help determine where resources in the city should be dedicated towards combating litter. My hypothesis, which could be proved with more data collection from more people, is that where you see a higher concentration of litter, there will be a lower concentration of waste bins. The city could use this data to help determine where waste bins should be placed or where clean up crews should be deployed.
