Abstract:
|
This paper explores preliminary findings from a study of how municipal and community WiFi influences social interactions in public spaces and the overall structure of people’s social networks. Findings are based on survey and observational data collected from seven public parks, plazas, and markets. This project assesses whether WiFi provides social benefits within public spaces, such as building community or social interaction. Findings offer insight into the users of WiFi networks as well as design considerations for WiFi enabled public spaces. |
