Focusing inspectors on companies' compliance with environmental laws
Considerations
Results Uthiek Assessment: the approach on enforcement of environment-related issues allows us to identify in a better and more targeted way where there might be violations at companies. This allows us to perform our statutory duty in the right way and this contributes to the value Power Relations. This only gives us a signal and the action perspective for enforcers to explore the situation at the relevant catering establishment. By doing so, we provide enforcers with targeted information for enforcement, increasing his freedom of choice and contributing to the value Autonomy. Better and more targeted enforcement of the Liquor and Catering Act contributes to safer and healthier conditions for visitors to the catering industry. Hereby 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 when applying 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

- The risk prioritisation scores companies based on compliance behaviour, environmental variables and the latest controls. The higher a company is on the list, the earlier it is eligible for inspections which can have an impact on any occurrences on humans and the environment.Last change on 3rd of April 2024, at 13:50 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0

- When implementing the Participation Act, it is important to determine, based on the right standard, which arrangement the resident in question is in. The application of an algorithm ensures that this is done correctly and efficiently.Last change on 12th of July 2024, at 9:44 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0

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
