Abstract

This paper presents some of the results obtained during the development of the VIAS | ViseuInter Age Stories Project. VIAS aims to promote intergenerational collaborative interaction practices, fostering a greater sense of belonging to a community and supporting healthier and more inclusive lifestyles. The main goal of the project is the development of a collaborative App, in a participatory design approach, to challenge youth and elderly to create collaboratively stories about places of their city. We describe an intergenerational workshop carried out with children and senior citizens (n = 22)aiming to map places of cultural and natural heritage in the historical centre of Viseu that are relevant and meaningful to both the children and the elderly inhabitants. We also explore the interaction dynamics that can be shaped between generations while they strive to build their collaborative tales about some of those places, assessing the kind of technological tools that are deployed. The results of this workshop provided valuable information that would help to define the functional requirements and the conceptual model of the application for mobile devices (App).

주요 내용

본 논문은 VIAS 프로젝트(ViseuInter Age Stories Project)와 관련한 것입니다. VIAS는 세대 간 협력 상호 작용 관행을 장려하고 지역 사회에 대한 소속감을 높이고 더 건강하고 포용적인 라이프 스타일을 지원하는 것을 목표로 합니다. 이 프로젝트의 주요 목표는 참여형 디자인 접근 방식의 collaborative App을 개발하여 청소년과 노인이 도시의 장소에 대한 공동 스토리를 만들도록 challenge하는 것입니다. 어린이와 노인 주민 모두에게 관련성이 있고 의미 있는 Viseu 역사 중심지의 문화 및 자연 유산 장소를 지도화 하기 위해 어린이 및 노인 (n = 22)과 함께 수행된 intergenerational workshop을 설명합니다. 워크숍의 결과는 모바일 장치 (앱) 용 애플리케이션의 기능적 요구 사항과 개념적 모델을 정의하는 데 도움이 되는 귀중한 정보를 제공했습니다.
