Abstract
This research develops a method to predict citizens' perception of deprivation in urban areas using satellite imagery, citizen science, and AI. A deprivation perception score was computed from slum-citizens' votes, and AI was used to model this score. Deep learning outperformed conventional machine learning, effectively predicting perception. This tool can help prioritize citizens' requirements and implement urban upgrading policies aligned with SDG-11.
