Abstract

Abstract The paper presents and discusses the method adopted by Compagnia di San Paolo, one of the largest European philanthropic institutions, to monitor the advancement, despite the COVID-19 situation, in providing specific input to the decision-making process for dedicated projects. An innovative approach based on the use of daily open data was adopted to monitor the metropolitan area with a multidimensional perspective. Several open data indicators related to the economy, society, culture, environment, and climate were identified and incorporated into the decision support system dashboard. Indicators are presented and discussed to highlight how open data could be integrated into the foundation's strategic approach and potentially replicated on a large scale by local institutions. Moreover, starting from the lessons learned from this experience, the paper analyzes the opportunities and critical issues surrounding the use of open data, not only to improve the quality of life during the COVID-19 epidemic but also for the effective regulation of society, the participation of citizens, and their well-being.

利用开放数据监测都市区状况:以都灵都市区为例

摘要:本文介绍并讨论了欧洲最大的慈善机构之一圣保罗公司(Compagnia di San Paolo)在2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)疫情下监测进展情况，为专门项目的决策过程提供具体建议的方法。采用了一种基于使用每日开放数据的创新方法，以多维视角监测大都市地区。确定了与经济、社会、文化、环境和气候相关的几个开放数据指标，并将其纳入决策支持系统仪表板。报告提出并讨论了一些指标，以强调如何将开放数据整合到基金会的战略方法中，并有可能被当地机构大规模复制。此外，本文从这一经验教训出发，分析了围绕使用开放数据的机遇和关键问题，不仅可以提高COVID-19疫情期间的生活质量，还可以有效监管社会、促进公民参与和福祉。
