SVG Interviews: Spatial Video Geonarratives Interviews

• What is a SVG Interview?
• During a SVG Interview, Cleveland residents will ride along in a car with CDPH employees around their community and be interviewed about their experiences. The interview will be recorded (audio only) and geolocated so that your story is tied to the location of the vehicle as the interview proceeds. Cameras will take video of the community during the interview that will tie your story to the specific location. From these interviews we will create maps that can provide valuable information and awareness regarding the possible gaps in the air monitoring network.
• Why are SVG Interviews Important?
• They collect the valuable information we need from Cleveland residents and are designed to hear from residents in their own words about areas of concern in their neighborhoods. The maps we create will also help us understand where we need to concentrate our inspection, enforcement and environmental policy efforts.
