Goal and impact
The lawful granting of permits to split dwellings
Considerations
Results Uthiek Assessment: approach to licensing regarding splitting of dwelling allows us to perform our legal duty properly and this contributes to value Power Relations. This only gives us a signal and the action perspective for the enforcers to explore the situation at the property in question. By doing so, we provide enforcers with targeted information for enforcement, and increase their freedom of choice and contribute to the value Autonomy. A better approach to granting permits for splitting houses contributes to safer and healthier conditions for residents of these houses. In this way, we contribute to the value Safety and Health. In addition, we know from practice that financially vulnerable residents are often victims of property abuse situations. With this approach, we protect this target group and contribute to the value Justice.
Human intervention
The algorithm (with a direct impact on Utrecht residents and their living environment) only serves as a source of information for an employee, who takes the appropriate next step based on this information and the context of the situation. This principle is included in our Utrecht framework Internal Guidelines for Algorithm Application.
Risk management
The Utrecht data scientists, Information and Process Advisors (IPA) and Decentralised Information Security Officers (DISO) within the Utrecht municipality have, in addition to the employees directly involved, a controlling and monitoring role in the application of the algorithm. By doing so, we want to prevent the following risks from occurring:- data leak due to the public availability of personal data of Utrecht residents- algorithm takes a decision completely independently, without the intervention of an employee and without the interpretation of the relevant context of the situation- 'function creep' regarding data during the application of the algorithm, as a result of which the algorithm gives a distorted picture of what is going on. This can occur because the same type of data is used when applying the algorithm, and the algorithm uses that as confirmation of what comes out as information

Detect risks of compliance with licensing requirement for explosives precursors by private individuals
Customs
This algorithm helps Customs to select goods for control based on customs declarations and risks. It uses declaration data from companies and considers whether or not there are risks of bringing in raw materials (precursors) or mixtures that can be misused for the illegal manufacture of explosives.Last change on 10th of December 2024, at 9:54 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0- Publication category
