Citizens' Interactive Behavior in the Performance of the Urban Space of Cohabitation: Interactive Atlas of Urban Habitability

摘要

The article shows a range of contemporary phenomena linked with urban space and the increasing citizens' interactivity in the network. The sources for theory and reflection are related to the ongoing research project "Interactive Atlas of urban habitability" which is based on citizen participation in the sensitive description of the urban environment. It addresses a classification of variables related to the desires of urban habitability. The project is an ongoing and open process feasible through communication and socialization spaces and through work in compiling sources of data, other related projects and initiatives, be they governmental, corporate, or civic. Our proposal consists in organizing and displaying all this data in an online platform that provides citizens and public administrations with the sensitive variables that define urban space for both citizen uses and city planning. Thanks to the available technology, is already possible to create this platform for interactive generation and reception of urban information. It would reveal possibilities for optimizing the existing uses and for promoting better and more intensive ways by improving Inability and coexistence. We weren 't referring to mercantile uses, but any kinds of uses connected with spatial needs about vital, daily, recreational, and social variables. The development of a data corpus derived from subjective descriptions of the citizens' desires would have enormous potential for gaining knowledge of an environment. Such data could complement and enhance the geospatial information managed and used for a more sensitive transformation of the urban space. We have come to this conclusion after studying a number of paradigms linking network interaction and urban transformation, as well as open platforms that provide information to citizens. This article addresses new paradigms with both contemporary thinking on ICT and through the vision of the city expressed by authors such as Baudelaire (1863), Walter Benjamin (1998), Georg Simmel, Guy Debord (1967), Constant (1974), Henri Lefebvre (1978), Richard Sennett (1997), Paul Ricoeur (2000), Zygmunt Bauman (2007), Pascal Nicolas-Le Strat (2006), Manuel Delgado (2007), Antonio Negri (2010) and, of course, "The Reinvention of Everyday Life, " by Michel De Certeau (1999).
