Designing community-driven, social benefit applications using locative, mobile and social web technologies

(2016) Designing community-driven, social benefit applications using locative, mobile and social web technologies. PhD by Creative Works, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This practice based, interaction design project explores how mobile, locative and social web technologies present new opportunities to help community members in need through collaborative online mapping of local support services and information sharing. In collaboration with community organisations, two social and locative media applications were produced. The underlying design principles were generalised to enable community agencies and individuals to apply them in development of further applications that aggregate information for social benefit.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
