Improving the input from the community is an approach for STI Prevention. For example, by engaging the contribution of the community, a ‘pay-it-forward’ dramatically improved chlamydia and gonorrhea ...testing among Chinese men who have sex with men (MSM). In this presentation, we summarized how innovative tools were used to engage different groups of the population for STI prevention. First, crowdsourcing approaches were used to solicit the inputs from the community for developing new intervention approaches, designing intervention messages, and evaluating intervention programs. Crowdsourcing involves a group of non-experts and experts working together to solve a problem and then sharing solutions with the public. Second, designathon and hackathon methods were adjusted to develop STI intervention messages and platforms among key populations. For example, in China, a 3-day designathon (hackathon-like event) was hosted to develop an HIV testing service strategy for MSM, while MSM were invited to join the event. In 2019, a hackathon event was also conducted in China to develop a platform for MSM to seek for gay-friendly health service. Third, social-marketing and other participatory approaches were used to develop intervention tools for improving STI services.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
En el artículo exploramos la experiencia del crowdsourcing, como actividad laboral y colaborativa novedosa dentro de redes altamente especializadas de productores, distribuidores y consumidores. Esta ...forma de entender, organizar y plasmar el trabajo a través de plataformas colaborativas está todavía poco estudiada: en particular, queda pendiente conocer bien cómo se articulan entre sí la dimensión instrumental-económica de este tipo de trabajo y su dimensión expresiva-identitaria, teniendo en cuenta la participación voluntaria de los actores involucrados (empresas y profesionales, además de potenciales clientes). Abordamos ambos aspectos desde una perspectiva relacional para entender lo que el crowdsourcingofrece en términos de construcción de valor, de gestión del conocimiento experto y de fomento de nuevos sujetos colectivos.

Fostering community participation by planners in South African municipalities poses a challenge during planning processes. Different levels of public apathy have been observed, and they continue to ...undermine the quest of municipalities to provide sustainable neighbourhoods. Also, value conflicts from different urban stakeholders resulting from this apathy can be ameliorated through improved participation of the communities in the planning processes. In bridging this gap, the paper seeks to explore different Crowdsourcing techniques to be employed in Mangaung to enable urban stakeholders’ participation in planning projects. As such, crowdsourcing, as a new web-based business model, is inclusive in the 4th Industrial Revolution and can be used as the best solution for community participation in planning projects. Based on the foregoing, this paper employs a case study research design and a coterie of techniques: semi-structured interviews and document reviews for data elicitation. Interviewees comprise of purposively recruited town planning and other municipal officials involved in planning projects. The emergent data will be analysed thematically. Expectedly, the findings hold immense implications for planning practitioners as well as other professionals and policymakers working within the urban planning and socio-economic development praxes in South African Municipalities.
