SOCIAL PARTICIPATION AND THE ROLE OF ICT IN THE PLANNING, DESIGN, AND MAINTENANCE OF PUBLIC SPACES

Notes

Observations: Researchers recorded detailed observations during fieldwork. These notes document physical aspects of the conducted interviews, human behavior, and interactions. They serve as valuable qualitative data for this research.

Geospatial Information: Geospatial data includes coordinates, boundaries, and spatial relationships. It enables spatial analysis, mapping, and visualization of public spaces. This information was created to develop thematic maps and to collect how residents perceive the needs and aspirations of their public spaces.

Purpose of the Dataset: The dataset aims to investigate the role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in enhancing social participation within public spaces. Researchers can analyze these diverse data sources to explore patterns, identify challenges, and propose ICT-based interventions for inclusive and vibrant public spaces. The dataset includes information divided into 4 papers within the research project.

Identifying each dataset is mentioned in the title of the paper. Paper 1, Paper 2, Paper 3 and Paper 4. Please note that the dataset is anonymized to protect privacy and confidentiality.

Nevertheless, the information can lead to identifying actors that participated in this research, for which access to the datasets required a request, such as photographs. Researchers interested in urban planning, social dynamics, and ICT applications can leverage this dataset for further studies.
