Resumo
Public spaces play a vital role in urban democracy since they enable
collective usage and reflection. One of the ways to make open public spaces more
attractive and inclusive in modern times full of busyness is through the use of
innovative digital technologies. Mobile and Internet-based interventions into public
spaces deploy a number of strategies – from gathering data through GIS, syntax
mapping to using digital tools to collect ideas and opinions of stakeholders. Digitization may often lead to bottom-up initiatives where the citizens and other stakeholders
voluntarily employ their talent and resources to enhance the quality of life and solve
problems of urbanized societies. This chapter presents methodological Digital
Co-Creation Assessment Framework which considers a variety of aspects in the transformation of open spaces to co-creative systems: socio-cultural contexts, multi-stakeholder perspective, diversity in needs, incentives for participation of different groups
and cooperation capabilities. The framework provides a useful approach to explore
initiatives of digital co-creation as it allows to identify potential areas of improvement
and to compare case studies on common indicators. However, definition of complex
socio-technical systems, such as digital co-creation, is unavoidably partial, contextspecific and temporary. To test the applicability of the evaluation tool, the authors have
chosen to analyse the transformation of Aukštamiestis district in Vilnius from a
private space to a public place by conducting a case study analysis. The transformational nature of selected case study allowed to identify the limitations of proposed
model and define the areas of improvement for applicability in varied contexts.
