SOCIOCULTURAL URBAN SPACE IN E-SOCIETY

Abstract

The study focuses on the sociocultural aspects of urban development. Paper presents the complete deterministic concept of service oriented Sociocultural Information Urban Space (SIUS), considered as a logical development of the intercultural-communicational, technical-resource approaches and social machine concept in order to studying and understanding the features, possibilities, and base information flows of the Smart City sociocultural face. The SIUS idea helps to recognize or improve the data driving city concept because of smart technology use, so that greater range of digital services related to the sociocultural city facets can be provided to different stakeholders. The study includes exploring the interaction of pervasive processes of the urban space, specification of the SIUS architecture and concept. Based on principles and practices of the pervasive approach, the main mechanisms of citizens’ involvement into the active creative development of the SIUS are identified. Moreover, the study discusses two application scenarios which demonstrate how pervasive processes of sustainable development and pervasive self-regulation mechanisms of SIUS can be used in order to consider the factual needs of citizens and decision-making.
