摘要
自20世纪70年代以来,社区采用了各种形式的数字技术来鼓励社区组织和参与,特别是通过参与式平台,允许居民消费和制作与当地相关的信息。随着数字和社交应用程序的日益普及,人们对使用数字技术来应对当地社区面临的挑战越来越感兴趣。社交网站Nextdoor或当地新闻网站EveryBlock等全国性平台作为与公民沟通和互动的平台,引起了大众媒体甚至地方政府的极大关注。数字技术也被用于增加公民参与(Chen et al.,2012),并动员人们解决当地问题(Farnham et al.,2015)。数字和社交技术也可以促进社区参与,包括增加社会资本和联系(Hampton&Wellman,2003;卡瓦诺和帕特森,2001年)。然而,这些积极的结果很少惠及有色人种社区,尤其是年轻人。邻里移动应用程序有时会因种族貌相而造成伤害。边缘化社区的居民也受到数字鸿沟的影响(Nielson,2006),低收入青年面临公民机会差距(Conner&Slattery,2014)。数字技术在社会工作中的使用也有所增加,包括网站、手机和旨在了解社会问题和制定干预措施的虚拟现实程序(Chan&Holosko,2016)。在评估和干预直接社会工作实践中使用数字技术,带来了更有针对性的服务,提供了即时反馈的机会,并允许社会工作者为以前无法获得服务的个人提供服务(Bender等人,2014;Berzin等人,2015;Ramsey和Montgomery,2014)。尽管有希望使用数字技术来改善社会工作实践,但人们对设计用于社区社会工作干预的移动和在线技术的重视程度较低,尤其是让年轻人参与进来(Chan&Holosko,2016)。作为回应,教员们,
R U connected? Engaging youth in designing a mobile application for facilitating community organizing and engagement
Since the 1970s, neighborhoods have adopted various forms of digital technology to encourage community organizing and engagement, particularly through participatory platforms that allow residents to both consume and produce locally relevant information. With the growing popularity of digital and social applications, interest has grown in using digital technology to tackle the challenges facing local communities. Nationwide platforms such as the social networking site Nextdoor or the local news site EveryBlock have drawn considerable attention from the mass media and even local governments as platforms to communicate with and engage citizens. Digital technologies have also been utilized to increase civic engagement (Chen et al., 2012), and mobilize people to solve local issues (Farnham et al., 2015). Digital and social technologies can also foster community engagement, including increasing social capital and connections (Hampton & Wellman, 2003; Kavanaugh & Patterson, 2001). However, these positive outcomes have less frequently benefitted communities of color, particularly young people. Neighborhood mobile apps have sometimes caused harm through racial profiling. Residents in marginalized communities are also impacted by the digital divide (Nielson, 2006) and low-income youth face civic opportunity gaps (Conner & Slattery, 2014). The use of digital technology has also risen in social work, including websites, cell phones, and virtual reality programs designed to understand social problems and develop interventions (Chan & Holosko, 2016). The use of digital technology in assessment and intervention in direct social work practice has led to more targeted services, provided an opportunity for immediate feedback, and allowed social workers to serve individuals who were not previously able to access services (Bender et al., 2014; Berzin et al., 2015; Ramsey & Montgomery, 2014). Despite the promise of using digital technology to improve social work practice, there has been less emphasis on designing mobile and online technology for community social work interventions, particularly engaging youth (Chan & Holosko, 2016).
