Community-based crowdsourcing to increase a community's well-being

Abstract

The paper proposes a new way to encourage a community to increase the sustainability of their surroundings based on crowdsourcing. The most important characteristic in the approach is to automatically insert tasks that increase the community's well-being. Therefore, the more tasks the community's members perform that make their surroundings sustainable, the more they increase their well-being. The research is based on a microcrowdfunding crowdsourcing infrastructure. A new functionality to automatically add micro-tasks to increase a community's well-being is designed for enhancing the infrastructure. We also describe a preliminary user study to demonstrate the feasibility of our approach.
