A Lebanese young interpreneur Wissam Abdel Baki created a website
"
perkmycity.com" to help Lebanese citizens report, view, or discuss the
disorder in the streets of their city (currently only in Beirut).
The violations' list include: abandoned vehicles, graffiti, litter,
potholes, road blocks, sidewalk defects and any violation considered
disgraceful to the city's image.
To report a violation, the
Lebanese citizen only has to visit the website, describe the violation,
locate it on the map and post a photo of it.
The website
intends to reach each and every authority in Lebanon, whether it is the
Ministry of Public Works, the Ministry of Interior, Municipalities and
Private Associations.
Currently, the problems will be reported
to the authorities by email (where possible), Twitter (if registered),
and Facebook . The authorities are granted access to view, acknowledge
and later resolve the problem the way they normally would.
Wissam stresses that his projects will be covering not only Beirut area, but many other Lebanese regions.
