When faced with an environmental problem, locals are often among the first to act. Citizen science is increasingly one of the forms of participation in which people take action to help solve environmental problems that concern them. This implies, for example, using methods and instruments with scientific validity to collect and analyse data and evidence to understand the problem and its causes. Can the contribution of environmental data by citizens be articulated as a right? In this article, we explore these forms of productive engagement with a local matter of concern, focussing on their potential to challenge traditional allocations of responsibilities. Taking mostly the perspective of the European legal context, we identify an existing gap between the right to obtain environmental information, granted at present by the Aarhus Convention

The high number of vehicles and the position of the railway line, which is on the same level as the road, can cause congestion. One of the sources of traffic jam locations in Bogor is on Jalan Re. Martadinata. The purpose of this research is to analyze the perceptions of road users on the Martadinata Bogor Flyover. The data collection method was carried out by distributing online questionnaires using a platform, Gform, containing seven related parameters before and after the construction of the flyover. The results of the respondents' answers were processed using the Microsoft Excel application and presented as a spider chart. In the results of the respondent's assessment, all parameters experienced an increase. Three parameters have the highest gap values, and road users and respondents feel the increase, including traffic density, accessibility, and comfort for road users. In addition, there are three parameters with the lowest Gap values, including road conditions, environmental conditions, and road components

On January 12, 2010, Haiti was hit by one of the largest seismic disasters known to date. At the time, the culture and perception of seismic risk was low among the population and—because of the lack of seismic sensors in Haiti—so was seismological knowledge. In a citizen seismology approach, the S2RHAI project used low-cost seismic sensors (Raspberry Shake) to (1) complement the national seismic network and (2) to improve risk perception, preparedness, and scientific knowledge of the population. Through these objectives, we introduce a paradigm shift in which seismic networks are not only composed of sensors, but also of citizens who gather around these tools and the information they produce. We present here the results of a qualitative survey of 15 Raspberry Shake (RS) seismometer hosts in Haiti. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to learn about users’ experience to assess their motivations, difficulties, and expectations in this citizen seismology process. We found that RS hosts expressed pride and interest in being part of the RS network and actively contributing to risk reduction in their community. Some of them reported a form of empowerment in that they

Plastic debris within marine environments is an issue of global concern, leading to commitments at international, regional, and national scales to remove plastics from the environment and prevent further entry. The United Nations (UN) created a global framework of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with several goals to advance the environmental dimension of sustainable development, with global and country progress tracked by targets and their indicators. Countries voluntarily report their progress on the basis of guidance provided by the UN on what data is needed. SDG 14, Life Below Water, contains one target to significantly reduce marine pollution, with specific mention of plastic debris. To date, however, national information on plastic debris has been sparse, although citizen science projects have been collecting data at a spatial and temporal coverage relevant to SDG reporting. This paper provides an overview to clarify the data requirements for reporting on the SDG indicator of plastic debris density and the complex process in which data for SDGs is requested from and provided by countries. We then explore the potential for citizen science to assist countries in filling evidence gaps, through providing data on plastic pollution. We focus on the sub-indicator for beach debris, which accounts for most citizen science projects collecting data on plastic pollution. Then, we unpack the opportunities and challenges of augmenting SDG reporting with information gathered from citizen science communities. Lastly, we recommend ways for citizen science communities and governments to synergize efforts monitoring plastics to inform pathways for preventing and reducing such pollution ending up in our marine environments.
