INTRODUCTION
------------
The workshop is intended to promote the diffusion of a "People Centered
Smart Territories" vision, i.e. a socially-oriented and inclusive
bottom-up vision driven by a 'person in place' centered design approach
that focus on persons who, as well known, are driven by motivations and
expectations, desires, needs and, moreover, have their own styles.
It is pretty obvious that the challenge is to support the harmonious and
continuous development of all experiential dimensions relevant to
individuals, to the community of belonging and to the contexts of reference.
Because of this we think that it is important to offer a 'place' where
meet, compare and discuss "People Centered" experiences that have been
supported by the smartness of the territories.
Central to this purpose are:
• the dissemination of an adequate design literacy and an open access to
strategies and methodologies that may support the development of "People
Centered Smart Territories"
• the support to the development of learning paths that will prove more
effective in engaging and stimulating social innovation and, as well, in
keeping the persistence of individuals and communities in the so-called
state of "flow", which is essential in order to achieve and maintain the
leadership of creativity and innovation
• the ability to perform a multidimensional and holistic monitoring of
the transformation the territories are undergoing to become smart and,
as well, their ability to support the expectations of individuals and
communities of reference, within the framework of a sustainable development.
All this justifies the three key words contained by the workshop title:
Design - Learning - Analytics
------------------
TOPICS OF INTEREST
------------------
- strategies, approaches and methodologies to design and support the
development of "People Centered Smart Territories"
- concepts and case studies related to the "People Centered Smart
Territories" vision (e.g.: support to small smart communities, social
inclusion, learning, etc.)
- monitoring, analytics and benchmarking of the dimensions relevant to
define the smartness of "People Centered Smart Territories"
