Abstract In the process of developing a smart city framework, sensor data are crucial to enable cities and communities to make informed decisions on future plans. Involving community-based organizations and residents is an integral component of this process to ensure equity and accessibility of data. This study aims to develop a sociotechnical network to (1) identify vulnerability zones; (2) measure data on flooding, air, and water quality; and (3) inform community members and decision-makers through a data dashboard. A small coastal town in the Texas Coastal Bend region is utilized as a case study. Methodologically, this study utilizes participatory action research to frame a mixed-methods approach toward developing a data dashboard. This research project is a practical guide for engaged scholars in the social sciences, engineering, and urban design fields. The outcomes include recommendations for the engaged community and provide a data-dashbord targeting academic and non-academic audiences, residents, and decision-makers. © World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2023.All rights reserved
