Supervision and enforcement Corona measures

By being able to enforce measures during the Corona period in a better and more targeted way, we can properly enforce the General Local Bye-Law (APV).

Goal and impact

More targeted deployment of enforcers for liveability in public spaces with regard to compliance with Corona measures such as compliance with the General Local Bye-Law (APV).

Considerations

Results Uthiek Assessment: the approach mbt measures from the Corona period allows us to perform our legal duty in the right way and this contributes to the value Power Relations. This only gives us a signal and the action perspective for the enforcers to explore the situation on site. By doing so, we provide enforcers with targeted information for enforcement, and increase their freedom of choice and contribute to the value Autonomy. Better and more targeted enforcement of measures from the Corona period contributes to safer and healthier conditions for residents of these homes. In doing so, we contribute to the value Safety and Health.

Human intervention

The algorithm (with direct impact on Utrecht residents and their living environment) only serves as a source of information for an employee, who takes the right follow-up 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 a controlling and monitoring role in the application of the algorithm, in addition to the employees directly involved. By doing so, we want to prevent the following risks from occurring:


- data leak by making personal data of Utrecht residents publicly available

- algorithm takes a decision completely independently, without the intervention of an employee and without interpreting the relevant context of the situation

- 'function creep' regarding data in the application of the algorithm, causing the algorithm to give 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

  • We are keen to offer our residents the right help during the Corona period, given that the measures set affect residents' mental state. By predicting where and to what extent youth and Wmo support is needed, we can better respond to this.

  • For persons whose previous place of residence was temporarily unknown, it was found that the registration in the BRP often does not match the actual situation. The algorithm selects potential high-risk addresses for further address research.
