Crowdtribute Project initiatives that the public can voluntarily engage in to learn and gain knowledge about various topics through active participation. They can also become contributors to these projects. For example, individuals can take photos of the wildlife they encounter and upload them to the iNaturalist platform, contributing to ecological research and environmental observation. Those interested in historical and cultural themes can track the stones used in the Taipei City Wall, documenting the significant chapters in Taipei's urban development, from the quarrying of rocks to the scattered locations of the wall's stones after its dismantling.

The basic information for more than 200 projects has been consistently compiled by the community. These projects cover various categories, including astronomy, disaster prevention and mitigation, meteorology and climate, environmental surveys, biological investigations, social culture, and daily habits. Key equipment, such as cameras, telescopes, and shipping logistics, are also marked. Additionally, specific projects with particular seasons or timeframes, such as New Year bird counting activities or light pollution investigations by the Illumination Detectives, are highlighted.

We plan to develop a recommendation system that asks users about their 'familiar town or district' and their 'leisure interests or areas of concern' to provide recommendations for relevant projects.

(1) Each project needs to be tagged with its associated town or district. It's known that some projects don't require leaving home, while others may require outdoor locations, such as the coast.

(2) What are the options for 'leisure interests or areas of concern,' and how do they correspond to specific projects?

(3) Ideas for extended functionality: How can users collect and manage these projects? Is it possible to integrate mobile location to recommend regional projects based on their current location?
