The Development of a Framework in Support of Open Geospatial Data and Civic Tech: A Case Study of the Urban Data Challenge of Tokyo 2013

Abstract

This study reviews to promote participatory workshops with a data set that has been offered free of charge or with open data from local governments in case of “Urban Data Challenge Tokyo 2013 (UDCT2013). We developed a platform that can be viewed on more than the web sites of local government when seeking solutions to regional problems and that takes advantage of geospatial information. It is easy to find and to download, but the application of these data to regional problems is limited. Therefore, an increase in programs that combine enhancements and platforms that easy access and use to more variety of open geospatial data is necessary.
