“…In the third group, scholars point out that socialization in physical spaces can be encouraged by online interaction. This is possible via online games or other social activities convened via social networks that act as computer-supported ice-breakers among strangers, resulting in physical spaces becoming Third Places from time to time (Rogers and Brignull 2002;Yoon et al 2004). Another example is people organizing social gatherings among like-minded individuals, resulting in a "digital enthusiasm" (Gerbaudo 2016) that culminates in spikes of people engaging both online and offline, as often occurs in political demonstrations, such as in the Spanish 15-M Indignados movement of 2011.…”

This research focuses on the intermediate city, composed of urban areas located right outside the city center typically maintaining an in-between urban/suburban character. It aims to explore the degree to which this segment of the city exhibits urban activity and social life through the identification of activity areas in the so-called Third Places. Four intermediate city neighborhoods in Gothenburg, Sweden are adopted as case areas and are analyzed using a twofold approach. First, socioeconomic statistics provide a quantitative understanding of the case areas and, second, geolocated Social Media Data (SMD) from Foursquare, Google Places and Twitter makes it possible to identify the intermediate city's urban activity areas and socially preferred urban spaces. The findings suggest that a) the four analyzed intermediate city areas of Gothenburg all have a degree of social activity, especially where economic activities are clustered together; b) Third Places in more affluent areas tend to be linked to commodified consumption of urban space while neighborhoods with lower income levels and higher ethnic diversity seem to emphasize open public space as Third Places; and c) nowadays the typology of Third Places has evolved from the types identified in previous decades to include additional types of places, such as those you pass on the way to something else (e.g. gas and bus stations). The study has verified the value of SMD for studies of urban social life but also identified a number of topics for further research. Additional sources of SMD should be identified to secure a just representation of Third Places across diverse social groups. Furthermore, new methods for effective cross validation of SMD with other types of data are crucial, including e.g. statistics, on-site observations and surveys/interviews, not least to identify Third Places that are not frequently present (or are misrepresented) in SMD.

“…FishPong (Yoon et al, 2004), for instance, is a collaborative and cooperative interactive game designed to serve as an icebreaker, enhancing people's social interaction. Cuesense (Olsson et al, 2015) is a wearable display that shows some of the user's social media content related to the person encountered.…”

The quality of social interaction has great importance for psychological and physiological health. Previous research indicates that smartphones have adverse effects on collocated social interactions. Many HCI studies addressed this issue by restricting smartphone use during social interactions. Although the results of these studies indicated a decrease in smartphone use, restrictive and limiting approaches have limitations. Users should have high levels of selfregulation to comply with them, and they may lead to unintended outcomes like withdrawal symptoms. Considering the influence of smartphones on people's social relations and interactions, either positive or negative, there is a need for new solutions to mitigate the adverse effects of excessive smartphone use alternatives to restrictive approaches. To this end, this thesis aims to explore individuals' smartphone use behavior from the standpoint of social interactions and relations by employing diverse data collection techniques, i.e., how this behavior hinders and supports social interactions. We started investigating this question through in-situ observations and focus group sessions. With the information learned from this step, we developed two research prototypes to enrich social interactions without restricting smartphone use. We then collected users' thoughts, reactions towards, and concerns about these prototypes through user studies. Finally, we examined how these prototypes influenced conversation quality in social interactions through an experimental user study.Along with the motivation and aim, this thesis makes knowledge and artifact contributions to the growing field of digital well-being. We identified 21 user insights, nine design implications, and four design approaches that will guide the design of innovations and solutions to enrich social interactions in the presence of smartphones. We developed two design concepts, which also served as the validation of these knowledge contributions.

Abstract. Public spaces are interactive by the very fact that they are designed to be looked at, walked around, and used by multitudes of people on a daily basis. Architects design such spaces to create physical scenarios for people to interact with, but this interaction will usually be one sided-the physical space does not usually change or react. In this paper we present three interaction design projects which add reactive dynamics into objects located in public spaces and in the process enhance the forms of interaction possible with them.
