WabiSabi 1 to 1 Hundred

Geospatial Audit & Nudge Application for Safe Place-Making

Mobile Umbrella APP

We are proposing the development of a Coach APP that would guide a user off the couch for a fun run, jog, walk, or stroll along an assessed path for length, slope, scenery, and Visit-ABiLiTY between established nodes towards quality lifespan for people from the age 1 to 1 hundred.

Wabi Sabi means:

Values simplicity and imperfection, while recognizing the impermanence of all things. Rather than piling unnecessary pressure on ourselves in the quest for perfection, Wabi Sabi encourages us to value the perfectly imperfect.

Smart location-based data driven real-time two-way communication between citizens, advocacy groups & communities to enable and encourage physical wellbeing activities.

Intelligence to augment and optimize physical activities / wellbeing opportunities by geospatial auditing towards Green Universal Accessibility.

Target Physical Activity Groups

These are the nodes of influence and the target citizens for safety, health and wellbeing:

Aging citizens
Activity Nodes
Parents with precious cargo in trams/buggies
Runners
Walkers
Cyclist
Public space event organizers

Inclusion

City suitability audit for Safer activities

Mirror World with a Magnifying glass

Geospatial Audit: Immersive AR/VR/XR

*Replace Old previous Technology with now simpler and easier libraries and services

Potential API integration with Crowd 4 Access

Impact on challenge & UN SDGs

Antidote to anthropocentric bio-medical model of health: opens resilient interrelated citizen science pathways for understanding

How healthy/unhealthy are we now?
What are barriers to accessing/engaging in healthy activity?
Are some age groups more active than others, and if so, why?
What dedicated spaces already exist that can be used for activity?
Community centres? Parks? Trails? Can they be modified to be more inclusive?

Integration with other civic initiatives

Pocket forests

can be as small as a single car parking space

— would one work in your area?

These are miniature versions of a natural woodland

— you just get so much bird life, you get so much insect life, even in the first growing season
