A breeding ground for the common good for innovative management solutions Participation and data science

Common goods = Resources that are available for collective use by a certain community Clean air, youth employability, an industrial district’s reputation, The beauty of a landscape,… -these are all common goods. www.smartcommonslab.org
We live embedded in common goods and we cannot thrive without them. www.smartcommonslab.org
Unfortunately, however, the common goods are vulnerable to misuse neglect inability by the verysubjectswho (may) benefit from the common resources. www.smartcommonslab.org
Therefore, in order to protect and develop a common good, we need to concentrate on the social and/or ecological system that generates it. www.smartcommonslab.org
Commons = A system (typically, a social-ecological system) whose actors and relationships can generate and regenerate a common resource Therefore, in order to protect and develop a common good, we need to concentrate on the social and/or ecological system that generates it. www.smartcommonslab.org
For example, in order to protect a marine area’s richness in fish, we need an integrated government and management of both the marine ecosystem and the social system that depends from that marine area. www.smartcommonslab.org
In order to protect and raise the plants, an effective breeding groundisneeded! www.smartcommonslab.org
The commons are the breeding grounds of the common goods they (may) regenerate In order to protect and raise the plants, an effective breeding groundisneeded! www.smartcommonslab.org
A commons can serve as a good breeding ground for the common goodifiteffectivelyputspeople in the condition to contribute. Thisis a long-termchallenge, at the intersection of markets, institutions and technologies. Data andparticipationare going to play a pivotalrole in thischallenge. www.smartcommonslab.org
For example, in the marine area of Torre Guaceto (Italy), the fishermen themselves collect the data that allow scientists to monitor the health of the marine ecosystem. This allowed for a radical change of business models towards a higher economic, social and environmental sustainability. www.smartcommonslab.org
