This project designs, implements and evaluates a next generation e-participation digital toolkit and methodology, with two specific detailed field tests addressing Disaster Risk Reduction Management (DRRM). The project advances research in computer science and engineering, and in social sciences, specifically on quantitative research methods, collaborative filtering of qualitative data, communication theory, public opinion, and political communication. The project aims to develop new strategies to systematically expand opinion-gathering and feedback across linguistically and socioeconomically diverse populations by designing a textual-, visual,- and voice-based user interface, with careful consideration of culturally sensitive symbols and icons in the development of the Graphical User Interface.
