Surveillance collaborative de l’assainissement urbain pour une gestion durable

Abstract

Traditional improvement actions for monitoring sewerage networks (liquid and solid) in urban areas require a significant human and technical investment from the urban sanitation administration, due to the increase in costs of monitoring tools and means of transport on-site in the long run. The approach we developed aims to propose integration of the citizen in the process of monitoring the operation of sanitation infrastructures. We consider that a strong citizen contribution to the improvement of sanitation, both liquid and solid, also contributes to a better protection of the environment. The name given to the approach described in the article is Geo-CollaboraTIC. It combines Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Information & Communication Technologies (ICT). To implement it, we developed an interactive and collaborative online spatially referenced interface. We explained the operating principle of this technology, which uses real-time geo-localization of topological and multimedia data (photos and videos). Such facilities of the modern world make possible, on the one hand, to reduce surveillance and monitoring costs, and on the other hand, to take over the Council of Europe's citizen consultations (decisional communication/citizen/initiation). The participation of citizens in the life of their city strengthens the dialogue about its future and the protection of their environment.
