1- LIMITS
One-to-one relations with local institutions: lack of responsibility and trust
Close and homogeneous networks: no interexchange nor conflict management
Passive users: focus on advocacy and punctual information
Low level of involvement, especially continuous over a medium time interval
Levelling of contribution
Misunderstanding between area-based initiatives and network based
initiatives at local level.
Ambiguous environments, no impact nor clear consequences of actions
10. INPUT2016 | e-agor|e-a粒凌略 for the transition toward resilient communities 10
2 - PUBLIC SCOPE
CONTEXT: pre-existing relationships among all
players at local level
PROCESS: the chain of actions and effects on both
groups towards a common outcome in relation to their
objectives/needs
OBJECTS: process outputs, the information artifacts
produced in relation to actions and data shared within
the network

1st CYCLE participatory design
Phase 1 Preliminary activities - requirements elicitation
1 Living Lab
100 participants - public and private players in mixed team
5 topics:
services accessibility,
group coordination,
local promotion,
events management,
activities documentation.
