Abstract:
The aim of the Campiello research project (Esprit Long Term Research #25572) is to promote and sustain the meeting of inhabitants and tourists in historical cities of art and culture. This overall objective is undertaken in two main steps: reinforcing the community bounds via collective participation in both creating community knowledge and optimizing access to it. Once the local community's sense of belonging has been reinforced, sharing its knowledge with outside people will become more natural. In this paper first we present the various technological aspects, as well as where and how innovative technology can help local communities. Then we present the context of experimentation, future plans and current achievements in one of the two project settings: Venice. «
