'Citizen sensing', the practice in which grassroots actors use
sensor technology for environmental monitoring, is increasingly
entering the debate around environmental risk governance. This
groundbreaking book explores the potential for citizen sensing to
concretely influence the governance of environmental risks to
public health by shaping policy responses implemented by competent
institutions. Taking a unique perspective that combines the
elements of risk, technology, the grassroots-drive and distrust,
Anna Berti Suman analyses which factors contribute to the policy
uptake of community-led citizen sensing. She frames the study
through the voices of the citizen sensing participants interviewed
in her fieldwork, incorporating both theoretical reflections and
ethnography into a mixed-methods approach. The book offers novel
insights into the advantages and drawbacks of the reliance on
citizen sensing by institutional actors and highlights the need for
further research in this area. Academics working in environmental
law and risk governance will find the research and findings
contained in this book both interesting and timely. It will also be
of practical use to policy-makers and practitioners, as well as
citizen sensing communities that wish to make their monitoring
practices more influential.
