    Leihwand: Requirements and Conceptualization of a Loan & Sharing System
    (Mensch und Computer 2017 - Tagungsband, 2017) Ackermann, Laura; Domhardt, Michael
    Loaning items such as tools leads to a high amount of administrative tasks in universities and other non-profit organisations. Nevertheless, commercial automatic tool management systems are not affordable. We therefore propose an interactive low-budget loan system, which is adaptable to various contexts of use, ranging from closed communities like a university to public access. It can also be used as a sharing platform in public spaces and therefore contribute to a more sustainable way of consumption. To understand the requirements of the different contexts of use, we conducted and analysed in-depth interviews with relevant staff members and potential users. Based on these requirements, technical possibilities were considered and a first system concept has been developed. The concept includes affordable commercial-off-the-shelf hardware (e.g. Raspberry Pi), which enables novel interaction concepts, such as face or speech recognition. Additionally, its modular storage system allows a high degree of flexibility and adaptability while still being easy to produce, repair, and maintain.

    Züri teilt: Facilitating Resource Sharing Practices in Neighborhoods
    (Mensch und Computer 2023 - Tagungsband, 2023) Fedosov, Anton;  Ochsenbein, Lisa;  Mele, Ivan;  Oster, Robin;  Rivière, Maude;  Gisin, Ronny
    In the non-profit sharing economy context, an increasing number of resource sharing collectives and organizations (e.g., libraries of things) and peer-to-peer grassroots sharing initiatives leverage underutilized household resources (e.g., tools) to optimize their shared use for the benefit of their local communities. However, a number of social-technical challenges prevent the endurance and growth of such initiatives. Prior research highlighted the specific difficulties related to poor visibility of members’ activities and often high social barriers that hinder interactions among neighbors and strangers. In our prior work, stemming from our continuous engagement with one local sharing community in Switzerland over several years, through fieldwork, interviews, and co-creation studies, we elicited a set of design opportunities to address the emergent community's challenges. Based on these design considerations, we developed Züri teilt, a mobile application to facilitate resource sharing practices among neighbors aligning with the slow, temporal, and gradual nature of their relationships.
