Creating spaces for making places: supporting young people's involvement in placemaking through digital technology

目的本研究的目的是探索参与式设计和使用数字技术的机会，以支持年轻人参与当地的土地制作。这项研究的目标是：*对相关文献进行广泛的回顾，以找出以前工作带来的机会和局限性，并通过*通过对相关组织中的关键线人进行至少15次访谈，使自己敏感于青年参与安置工作的现状；*同意与至少一个组织进行研究合作，以便在整个项目期间进行合作；*在这些组织内进行简短的民族志研究、一轮访谈和/或焦点小组(S)；*通过合作组织(S)工作，确定并就一组或多组年轻人参与安置的问题采取行动；*让青年群体参与数字技术设计、使用和部署的迭代、参与性进程；*分析数据和反思研究结果，以便为设计和未来研究提出建议。研究问题虽然认识到它们将随着项目的发展而发展，但我提出了以下研究问题：*围绕民主和造位问题与年轻人合作的组织可以学到什么？*在我将工作的背景下，当地的造位问题与年轻人相关的是什么？*数字技术的设计、拨款和部署如何支持年轻人参与当地的造位问题？*与年轻人的直接接触对创造跨代人的造位过程有什么希望？

Aim The aim of this research is to explore opportunities for the participatory design and appropriation of digital technology to support young people's involvement in local placemaking. Objectives The objectives of this research are to: * Carry out an extensive review of relevant literature to identify opportunities and limitations presented by previous work, and by * Sensitise myself to the state of play for youth engagement in placemaking by undertaking a minimum of 15 interviews with key informants in relevant organisations; * Agree a research collaboration with at least one organisation to work with throughout my project; * Conduct a short ethnographic study, round of interviews and/or focus groups within these organisation(s); * Working through collaborating organisation(s), identify and agree on a placemaking issue or issues with a group/groups of young people to act upon; * Engage groups of young people in an iterative, participatory process of digital technology design, appropriation and deployment; * Analyse data and reflect on findings in order to make recommendations for design and future research. Research questions Whilst recognising that they will evolve along with the project, I propose the following research questions:* What can be learned from organisations working with young people around issues of democracy and placemaking? * What are the local placemaking issues relevant to young people in the contexts I will be working in? * How can the design, appropriation and deployment of digital technology support young people's involvement in local placemaking issues? * What promise do direct engagements with young people hold for the creation of intergenerational placemaking processes?
