About

The Eco-mUNITY Kiosk

This project blends the leading edge of converging trends and technologies into a single, tangible object. This object is the cornerstone for community collaboration and organization as it has never happened before. By bringing community citizens together to collaborate locally and non-locally, citizens can produce virtual art, vote on community issues, teach classes, and exercise while generating power for the electronic devices. By monitoring social and technological trends, e-c-o is putting the tools of the future into the hands of citizens today, preparing them for tomorrow.

Our family is growing

We are excited to announce that we have a new addition to the Eco-mUNITY family of kiosks. This latest addition increases the number of kiosks to three: Super Robot, Sidekick Robot and the Bright Neighbor Kiosk, on which a new touch screen interface leads directly to the Bright Neighbor site while a new video screen streams Bright Neighbor TV. If you are interested in promotion through Eco-mUNITY, contact us. In 2010 a fourth robotic kiosk will join the family. Rob bot the mobile robot will be making a citizen assisted journey accross all 20 of the neighborhoods that make up the SE Uplift Neighborhood Coalition as he travels from one Neighborhood Association meeting to another. Along the way he will attempt to get more residents involved with their own neighborhood.

Eco-mUNITY Vitality

The livability that comes from a thriving community base also instills a vitality at the neighborhood level. When technology is used to bring people together for education, communication, collaboration, and fun, you are able to get informed and involved at a hyperlocal level. Eco-mUNITY kiosks connect you with local neighborhood associations, businesses, community organizations, and your neighbors through the interactive touchscreen. Invite an Eco-mUNITY kiosk to YOUR neighborhood today!

Eco-mUNITY Livability

By providing public places for art, education, collaboration, and community participation, the stake citizens have in their community is increased. When we see others investing in the community, and feel our quality of life increased, we start to buy in to the idea of community stewardship. The result of that buy in is that it empowers a community to organize with open access to tools designed to increase input at local and city levels. This is the vision that Eco-mUNITY holds when considering content, partnerships, and projects. Let us know if you have similar goals. Perhaps we can work together!

Eco-mUNITY Safety

As a Neighborhood Emergency Team member, Dwayne has been trained, certified, is currently on call in the case of a catastophic occurance that impacts Portland's neighborhoods, and is requiring all Empowering Community Organizers to have at least basic First Aid training. Cyd Manro also has experience with community outreach, is trained at conflict resolution, project managment, and managing change. With Eco-mUNITY kiosks providing such a visible and time intensive presence at the street level, we can utilize direct and unconventional outreach methods to more greatly impact the communities we live in, and improve safety in communities. The following is a short list of ROBOT/Kiosk safety related equipment and services: Community web cam (web video monitored safe zone), Information repository (first aid, evacuation routes, etc.), Content filtering, Bright Neighbor secure exchange, Free phone calls (non emergency), Emergency services contact links, N.O.A.A. radio with Emergency Alert System. This system remains idle until an emergency alert is broadcast by EAS. In 1996 EAS replaced the Emergency Broadcasting System. In case of an emergency, alerts are sent out by the EAS not just to broadcast media but also to cable television, satellites, pagers, Direct Broadcast Satellite, High Definition Television, Video Dial Tone, and the Eco-mUNITY Kiosk.

Eco-mUNITY Social Diversity

Through amplifying more voices in the community, the colorful diversity embedded in the stories, visions, and concerns of more residents can be more readily heard. By providing easily accessible means for underrepresented members of the community to voice their ideas and concerns, the breadth of involvement will be increasingly diverse. Also, through the community outreach effort, those who may not be likely to seek out others of a socially different background may come into contact and find common ground or at least better understand one another. You can be connected to the community with which you identify by location and by interest. You are invited to help tell your community story - celebrating with your neighbors the diverse cultural history, present, and future of your neighborhood. We can amplify your voice through our community television shows, locally oriented content on our website, or featured content on our kiosks!

What are we working on right now?

Currently we are finalizing the details of the 2010 tour of Eco-mUNITY’s Kiosk Project.

What is it?

The goal of the Eco-mUNITY Kiosk Project is to connect people to their community, to provide access to neighborhood association meetings and public comment. By providing free and open access to existing community tools designed to involve community members, and by leveraging technology to increase awareness and access to these tools, Eco-mUNITY endeavors to increase involvement in neighborhood associations, community projects, and public comment.

The Eco-mUNITY Kiosk Project allows people to interact with their Neighborhood Association, PortlandOnline, Bright Neighbor, and Eco-mUNITY websites. Eco-mUNITY works with all of these entities to increase the ease of using these online tools for community involvement and interaction. The goal of interaction with the websites is increased awareness and input. For instance, through the Neighborhood Association website, Eco-mUNITY will endeavor to provide access to video of neighborhood association meetings, input to voting and public comment, and presentation of information and concerns.

Problem: Involvement with neighborhood associations is low.
Eco-mUNITY plans to survey the neighborhoods it tours to discover if, how, and why or why don’t people interact with neighborhood associations and other community oriented organizations. Eco-mUNITY then plans to engage with the neighborhood association to address these concerns and to see how the Eco-mUNITY Kiosk Project might help. In this way, Eco-mUNITY functions like a community consulting organization.

While going through the community, the Eco-mUNITY Kiosk Project will:
• survey the community
• Educate community members about community resources
• Demonstrate the value in participation
• Demonstrate how the Eco-mUNITY Kiosk project, in partnership with other community oriented organizations can help to increase the stake that community members have in their neighborhood
