ABSTRACT

Location-based activities can challenge citizens to explore their neighbourhood in new playful ways. This paper presents a classification of such playful activities based on the literature and experience gained (1) in co-creation sessions and (2) gameplay for neighbourhood exploration with citizens in the Hague. The location-based game designed for this purpose encouraged neighbourhood exploration and social interaction that went beyond the everyday normal. Results showed that citizens are specifically interested in activities that allow them to discover new information about, and places in, their neighbourhood when these are related to their own life. The results of this paper provide new knowledge on game design to inform designers on which type of interactions and activities foster neighbourhood exploration and social interaction.

摘要

基于位置的活动可以挑战市民以新的有趣方式探索他们的社区。本文根据文献和获得的经验（1）在共同创作会议中和（2）与海牙市民一起进行社区探索的游戏玩法，对此类有趣的活动进行了分类。为此目的设计的基于位置的游戏鼓励了超出日常正常范围的邻里探索和社交互动。结果表明，当这些活动与他们自己的生活相关时，公民对能够让他们发现有关其社区的新信息和地点的活动特别感兴趣。本文的结果提供了有关游戏设计的新知识，以告知设计师哪种类型的互动和活动可以促进邻里探索和社交互动。
