Durban Answers

Durban Answers is an information portal on city/government services. This platform provides the public with information ranging from refuse disposal schedules to road closures or registering your vehicle.

This project hopes to help people with questions about the city and services of the city that sometimes just can’t be found after numerous searches. By connecting people in or out of Durban with the right answer and information to their questions. If this project is something that interests you, keep reading. Below you can find the project brief that you can check out with related links of examples and the different aspects of the project that you can work on.

Brief

Durban Answer’s core objective is to be a site that is helpful and accurate. Being able to provide people with the right answer and information to their question. This is where you come in. No one person can possibly know all the questions and answers that the people of Durban would like to know. 

We have a #AskDurban campaign asking people to submit their questions that they have about Durban. Now the next task is to find the answers to their questions. Time to do some information wrangling.

For the analyse aspect of Durban Answers, we would like for you to search through the Durban Municipality social media pages and make a record of the most asked questions and record questions that haven’t been answered.

These then will be submitted as questions to the Durban Answers site.
