through interactive, dialogic, and collaborative processes»

«os portugueses são o povo mais
desconfiado da Europa Ocidental e ocupam
a 25ª posição entre 26 países. Para quase
20 por cento dos portugueses e franceses
"para se chegar ao topo, é necessário ser
corrupto» OCDE (2007)
«45% dos portugueses suspeitam dos
outros, mas os números disparam se o alvo
for o governo (70%)» Estudo TESE (2010)
25,6% dos inquiridos portugueses
assumiam-se como associativistas, o que
ainda assim tornava Portugal o país
europeu com a mais baixa taxa associativa
(Delicado, 2003: 232-5).

REDISCOVER RESOURCES IN CITIES (DEVALUED OR UNKNOWN)
KNOWLEDGE ABOUT CITIES AND ITS RESOURCES
SPACES VACANT UNDERUTILIZED OR (AND NOT BUILT BUILT, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE)
NETWORKS OF PROXIMITY (ORGANIZATIONS AND EQUIPMENT)

pelas ruas e conversando
com as pessoas para ir à
procura dessas micro-histórias‘
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE + SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE
MAPPING, SHARING, LINKING
CO-PRODUCING

17. 2. CIVIC AGENDA
NETWORKS OF PROXIMITY (ORGANIZATIONS AND EQUIPMENT)
produzir o seu adequado mapeamento e sistematização para permitir
construir colaborativamente uma nova narrativa sobre as questões
críticas locais, valorizando esses recursos, e com isso produzir um outro
tipo de políticas.

18. 2. CIVIC AGENDA
CIVIC AND INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY
Manuel Assunção, A Universidade de Aveiro como universidade cívica

19. 2. CIVIC AGENDA
ICT INFRASTRUCTURE AND KNOWLEDGE
'urbanização da tecnologia' - uma forma particular
transformar, adaptar ou mesmo ‘hackear’ a
'tecnologia' para responder a problemas e
necessidades da comunidade (empresarial,
artística, científica, associativa e cívica).
A tecnologia vai desde o carro, a bicicleta,
mobiliário urbano, edifícios, passando pelos
dispositivosmóveis, redes, etc..,
A cidade (em particular os seus utilizadores,
residentes, organizações, ecologias) pode ser o
palco da identificação de novas necessidades de
resposta e da adequação bem sucedida ('hackear')
da tecnologia a essas necessidades (Sassen, 2012)

20. 3. HOW ARE
WE USING OUR
COLLECTIVE
INTELIGENCE?

21. 3.1 WHAT DO WE MEAN BY COLLECTIVE INTELIGENCE?
COLLECTIVE INTELIGENCE CONCEPT
«Empowerment through the development and pooling of intelligence to attain
common goals or to resolve common problems» Brown and Lauder (2000)
«Social glue that holds societies together» Brown and Lauder (2000)
V. IMP. «the extent to which people are institutionally encouraged («trust»)
to pool their capacity (knowledge, technology and intellectual resources) for
intelligent action (solve collective problems)» Brown and Lauder (2000)

22. 3.2 WHY SHOULD WE USE COLLECTIVE INTELIGENCE?
LIDERANÇAS QUE AJUDAM OS GRUPOS A AGIR COLECTIVAMENTE DE MODO MAIS INTELIGENTE
http://cci.mit.edu/malone/
http://vimeo.com/37389182
THOMAS MALONE, MIT (2011)
ESTUDO MIT CONCLUIU QUE A IC
está fracamente correlacionado com a média e
máxima inteligência do grupo;
não está correlacionada com a satiafação do
grupo, motivação coesão;
está significativamente correlacionada com:
PERCEPÇÃO SOCIAL (capacidade dos
membros lerem as expressões e emoções
dos outros);
IGUALDADE DE PARTICIPAÇÃO NA
CONVERSAÇÃO;
PROPORÇÃO DE MULHERES NO GRUPO
(relacionado com o 1.º);
IMPORTA NÃO SÓ A INTELIGÊNCIA INDIDIVUAL DAS PESSOAS MAS A
INTELIGÊNCIA COLECTIVA DOS GRUPOS
