    Many people would like to remain in their familiar surroundings in old age, even if they need certain forms of assistance. But what exactly does everyday life look like, where are the hurdles and where can community-based support options start? The results of a citizen-based participatory interview study of community members of a rural Living Lab near Zurich, Switzerland and full-time researchers from two universities in Switzerland and Germany explore these questions. Results of the study relate to physical limitations and potentials in old age, aspects of well-being and mental health, social engagement, relationships and networks, as well as the theme of ‘asking for help, accepting help and giving help’. Against the background of a key category, the barriers of ‘asking for, accepting and giving help’, an overarching reflection by the co-researchers and full-time researchers took place. This focus provided the basis for the participatory development of CareConnection, a digital community platform design that fosters social exchange and helps to overcome identified barriers, which can be physical, mental or social and within these categories temporal, spatial, structural and/or individual and thus enable or promote social encounters and interaction to establish a higher level of well-being and health.

    The Urban Future is Now: Uniting Powers for Inclusive and Sustainable Design of Smart Cities
    (Mensch und Computer 2024 - Workshopband, 2024) Osipova, Margarita; Marra, Konstantina; Aal, Tanja; Aal, Konstantin; Hornecker, Eva; Hespanhol, Luke
    The rapid urbanisation and smartization of the world brings challenges of designing urban futures that contribute to a sustainable and inclusive city environment. Additional complexity arises from space and infrastructure constraints, the diverse user range and involvement of multiple stakeholders in the design process. While these technologies -- once created -- would shape the future of cities and human- and non-human-citizens in the long run, we identify a lack of experience and knowledge exchange in the respective community regarding the addressing of smart city challenges from more than purely technical or topic-specific perspectives. With this workshop, we aim to gather researchers and practitioners from the fields of Urban Informatics, Smart Urbanism, and Human-Computer Interaction to openly share experiences and to outline the design challenges that should be addressed first, with the values of sustainability and inclusion as objectives for smart urban futures.
