CyberParks aims at advancing knowledge on the relationship between information and communication technologies and the socially sustainable production and usage of public open spaces. Such research necessitates a solid methodological base. Urban ethnography brings together a number of perspectives and approaches to deal with cultural and social aspects of urban life, and as such it is able to provide an integrated methodological framework for the study of technology-public space relationship. The ethnographic approach means, by definition, an in-depth, micro-scale look at the phenomena under concern. However, the technological dimension makes the relationship between people and space more complex. This is not simply because an additional layer of analysis is added; it comes as a result of the emergence of multiple connections between the real and the virtual. From an ethnographic perspective, this requires the researcher to capture, explore and understand the cyber-social phenomena and dynamics in a multifaceted, hybrid, triangulated and crossreferenced way. This makes ethnographic research much more complicated but more interesting as well. The current chapter attempts to outline such an analytical framework to guide empirical research on the issues. This framework draws on the public space literature and adds the technological dimension brought in by the CyberParks project. We argue that this enriches the ethnographic approach providing a more integrated framework for the analysis of the relationship between people, space and technology.
The new information and communications technologies are expanding human connectivity, reconfiguring urban spatialities and generating a kind of social space that spans real and virtual, personal and impersonal, private and public. As a result, the space and time boundaries become blurred, giving rise to novel needs for, and practices of, public space usage. However, the ways in which these new practices affect public space engagement and public life in general, remain yet unclear. In addition, variations might exist due to differences in local culture and conditions, or due to specific lifestyles and behaviours favouring isolation and privatism or, at best, interaction only with close friends and kin. The above issues become even more critical for young people, who born in a digital era are able to handle new technologies with utmost ease. This chapter sheds light on the related perceptions and practices of adolescents. Structured interviews were applied to eight teenagers living in Hannover (Germany), Lisbon (Portugal), Tel Aviv (Israel) and Volos (Greece) to gather focused, qualitative and textual data. It examines how young people of distinct sociocultural contexts perceive and use both public spaces and digital technologies. This enables to identify emergent logics, needs and patterns of socialization and public space engagement placing specific emphasis on the role information technologies can play in them. Keywords: Spatial practices of teenagers Á Teenagers and public spaces Á Use of digital technologies Á Methodological contribution 1 Introduction The term "adolescent" is used in this work to mean anyone between the age of 14 and 16 years, and is used interchangeably with other terms "teenager" and "young people". Adolescence, marking the passage from childhood to adulthood, is a crucial stage of human development. It is a period of life with substantial changes on the biological,
Resumo: No que respeita à intervenção no património urbano aparece, com alguma frequência, ideias ou perspectivas que defendem a importância em reabilitar ou revitalizar determinados valores socioculturais considerados como tradicionais, sem, contudo, se reflectir profundamente sobre a articulação entre tais orientações e as dinâmicas socioespaciais dos territórios. Toma-se como referência um estudo antropológico desenvolvido num bairro típico e popular de Lisboa -Mouraria -para reflectir sobre como no processo de produção e construção social do espaço, a idealização e a sobrevalorização de determinadas tradições que procuram apoiar-se num passado pensado como histórico -mas que é socialmente inventado e constantemente reinventado-tanto pode promover a dinamização sociocultural como, indirectamente, potenciar o risco da produção de espaços urbanos segregados.Palavras-chave: património urbano e cultural; tradição, reabilitação; revitalização cultural. • O reconhecimento por parte dos órgãos da administração local da importância do "stock construído (para além do valor monumental)", como elemento a ter em conta na programação
