在本文中，我们报告了在美国和肯尼亚的城市中心进行了为期六个月的设计导向的实地考察和设计研究。这项工作对CHI/CSCW社区的贡献是经验和方法的。首先，我们描述了如何围绕“为宗教设计技术”最近的设计话语创造了一个工具和宗教ICT使用之间的人为区分，特别是在发展中地区。作为说明性的例子，我们涉及三个主题在我们的实地考察过程中，我们称之为正念，警惕，和嵌入，在研究的社区生活的“世俗”和“宗教”方面。其次，我们通过描述我们如何使用推测性设计概念的设计草图来扩展和补充我们的实地调查，从而做出方法上的贡献。通过制作这些草图和征求反馈，我们得出了关于参与者如何看待宗教和ICT之间关系的额外数据，并促使我们对自己的想法进行自我反思。
In this paper, we report on design-oriented fieldwork and design research conducted over a six-month period in urban centers in the United States and Kenya. The contributions of this work for the CHI/CSCW community are empirical and methodological. First, we describe how recent design discourse around "designing technology for religion" creates an artificial distinction between instrumental and religious ICT use, particularly in developing regions. As illustrative examples, we relate three themes developed in the course of our fieldwork, which we term mindfulness, watchfulness, and embeddedness, to both "secular" and "religious" aspects of life in the communities studied. Second, we make a methodological contribution by describing how we used design sketches of speculative design concepts to extend and complement our fieldwork. By producing these sketches and soliciting feedback, we elicited additional data about how participants viewed the relationship between religion and ICT and prompted self-reflection on our own ideas.
