This mobile application has been designed for inhabitants of Mexico City with the purpose of improving their communication and quality of life by providing punctual and relevant information as well as being a platform for neighbors to share their own concerns and suggestions for everyones wellbeing.
Introduction
What it is Neighbor Link is a closed-access app that allows people living within a neighborhood to share, inform and alert each other and local authorities about issues and events that are pertinent to the place they live in. What it isnt It is not a platform for people to socialize in a facebook-like way. And it is not a type of twitter hash tag either because it isnt designed to publish information for anyone to see; it controls what type of information is published, who receives it and what he or she can do with it. Objectives Increase and maintain safety levels, foment a true sense of community and connectivity amongst neighbors, and make everyones lives more efcient by being timely informed. All three are aspects Ive noticed to be lacking in most neighborhoods and also aspects in which existing technology may be used as a facilitating tool. Wait. Why? To validate the relevance of my idea, I went back to The Broken Window Crime Theory, New Jerseys Safe and Clean Neighborhoods Program, and the Dont Mess With Texas case study. What I learned was all very interesting and seemed to prove my idea relevant in theory; but I still wanted to make sure there were signs of it being useful in real, 2012 life. Today anybody can blog and Google anything. Are there circumstances in which online search results are too broad or not localized enough? You bet! If I tweet about losing my dog, I may get sympathetic replies from my followers across the country, but is that helpful at all? So, do people still use traditional, analog methods such as posters glued to street lamps and bulletin boards? I knew they did in my previous apartment building, but I set out to nd out if that was an exception. As I drove around looking for posters I was surprised to nd quite a few, and realized that though most are visible from the drivers seat, theyre only legible if youre actually standing a couple of feet in front of them; and whos going to stop their car in the middle of the road to read a sign? I parked and walked. Some posters were handmade and had been washed out by the rain, some had been printed and laminated, some looked extremely old whoever posted them never contemplated taking them down. I also saw the remainings of ripped-off posters, what was left behind visually polluting the street. Someone had posted signs about a dog she found! (I wanted to call just to thank and congratulate her.) I saw a fully functional mid-sized table on a sidewalk, waiting to be trashed the next morning. A few blocks ahead, someone had cut down a tree and chunks of beautiful wood were lined up also waiting for the garbage truck to come by. Ever since, Im always spotting these types of signs and objects when Im on the street and have started to collect and categorize pictures of them.
Posters foundsigns found in Mexico City neighborhoods. Posters and in my current neighborhood in Mexico City.
Informing the design I talked to people about my idea and showed initial screen sketches to some of them. Is it clear? What are your immediate reactions? Do you own a smartphone? Would you use this app? Can you think of anyone who wouldnt? -why not? Can you spot any weaknesses? Would you add or remove anything? If you already had this app, can you think of instances where you wouldve used it in the past month? ... I talked to former computer science classmates, actual neighbors, friends who arent designers nor engineers, a taxi driver, my grandmother and other family members, a police ofcer and an entrepreneur. Personas In speaking with all these people, it became clear to me that people have different values as their priority. Many were very interested in the incident-reporting section that automatically alerts authorities about whats going on in real time, without having to make a phone call or go to their ofce. Others were extremely enthusiastic about the idea of being able to share ideas and proposals to improve their community. I summarized their recurring values as: comfort, security, stability and honesty. Then I made sure the app assessed each of them. Another aspect that was useful to help dene the usability and look of the app, was understanding the level of comfort and familiarity the potential users have with systems and mobile apps.

This section lets users alert their friend network, share his current location and see everyones location with the press of a button. The user must set up his friend network by inviting up to 10 people he wants to be part of his network; once the invitees accept, the network is created. When the purple button is pressed, everyone in the network receives a noti cation and gets access to the map showing markers with everyone elses location, the user who triggered the alert is distinguished with a red marker. The alert may be cancelled at any time. This feature is meant to be used in case of an emergency, though it may also be used for other situations.
