Abstract: This paper presents the CommYOUnity Data project, which was designed to explore how people describe their urban surrounds. This project is part of a research agenda that aims to develop technological planning tools that can be used by grassroots community groups in revitalization and repair efforts. The project contains two parts: a photo-elicitation study called the CommYOUnity Data Site and a follow-up, the CommYOUnity Data Survey. Through the site we collected 37 images depicting local scenes with associated captions in response to a prompt asking residents to describe elements of the submitted scene they would like to see improved. We then followed up with the survey to dig deeper into the difference between description (of the elements of a scene) and prescription (of changes to be made). By analyzing both the photo submissions and survey responses we identified a set of themes, which we use to describe a set of possible technological tools for grassroots urban design.
