A living map of responsibilities

What is mine to tend?

Kuleana.info is a proof-of-concept civic platform for surfacing place-based responsibilities, matching people with appropriate ways to help, and making care visible before it becomes crisis.

SCQA

The connection is missing.

Situation

Every community depends on thousands of acts of care: stream restoration, youth mentoring, elder support, language preservation, board service, trail repair, translation, food systems, and neighborly attention.

Complication

Modern platforms map organizations, jobs, transactions, and volunteers. Few systems map responsibility itself, so critical kuleana can remain invisible, duplicated, or carried by the same exhausted people.

Question

Can a civic platform make kuleana discoverable by showing what needs tending, who is already caring, where support is missing, and how each person can enter responsibly?

Answer

Kuleana.info organizes around living responsibilities. Each kuleana object connects place, relationship, capacity, urgency, current stewards, and downstream effects.

Illustrative sample data: The Maui opportunity records below are fictionalized examples for prototyping. They should be replaced with community-reviewed, source-backed records before public launch.

Language and cultural review

Built for review, not self-certification.

This prototype uses bilingual Hawaiian/English touches to honor the conceptual frame while avoiding a claim of authority. The ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi here is draft interface language, not a certified translation or traditional form.

Any public use should be reviewed and co-developed with fluent ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi practitioners, Native Hawaiian cultural advisors, and people with appropriate relationships to the places and communities represented.

Prototype by RAD Studio. The purpose is to help communities see relationships clearly enough to act appropriately.
