Fu Chi is a project that utilizes the open source software Ushahidi to raise civic engagement and communication among residents in Philadelphia's Chinatown currently separated by dialects, generations, socioeconomic status, and culture. Fu Chi allows residents to report issues, events, and opinions and respond to other user's comments. Through a collaborative design process with residents, social organizations and city government, Fu Chi aims change resident’s perception of their potential impact on the environment; at the same time it will streamline and draw attention to the work done by social organizations serving the neighborhood. This paper will present the underlying issues in the community, related projects, our design approach, and an overview of the campaign.
