“…Challenges related to a rapidly expanding and diversifying demographic include issues of power, participation, inclusion and marginalisation (Sherman 2018;Stephens 2019;Björling and Rönnblom 2023;Murray et al 2023). Previous work found a need to support mutual understanding, allow for conflict and increase participant agency in order to challenge dominant paradigms and make visible the new perspectives, experiences and needs that expansion brings (Murray et al 2019;Murray et al 2023). This has implications for participatory CSCW in rurban communities, requiring sensitive, generative, critical and creative approaches to access nuanced and hidden experiences and bring them into dialogue with each other, to advance understandings of place and projections for future community development.…”

“…This paper describes an empirical case study, building on previous work (Murray et al 2019;Murray et al 2023) which put forward the use of SEA to CSCW in rurban communities. The case study, an online digital art summer school in an Irish rurban community, aimed to investigate the use of SEA to support participants in collaboratively and creatively exploring contradicting lived experiences, developing mutual understanding and a more inclusive perspective on community place and identity while imagining new directions for community life.…”

“…A sudden increase in diversity is a defining rurban sociogeographic characteristic and presents challenges to former rural communities, where a strong sense of community identity can lead to exclusion for those different to the established demographic (Meagher 2009;Thomas et al 2015;Sherman 2018;Murray et al 2019;Walton 2021). New community members bring with them new ways of life that influence and change community identity, and long-term community members find the identity they are so familiar with being challenged and adapted (Murray et al 2023).…”

The rapidly expanding rural community (often called rurban) is a new place for CSCW with unique sociogeographic characteristics that give rise to the need for adapted participatory practices. Socially Engaged Art (SEA) offers pluralistic and critical approaches to participative rurban CSCW to meet this need. This paper provides a case study of SEA-informed CSCW in an Irish rurban community. An online digital art summer school was delivered to young residents of Northrock using freely available digital collaboration and creation tools. Young people in rurban communities are navigating personal, social and political issues in a complex and evolving environment. In this summer school, SEA was applied to explore these issues through the creation and sharing of digital art on participant experiences and hopes for the future. The summer school hoped to promote critical thinking, confrontational dialogue and greater mutual understanding. We found that rapid creation and critique of a range of digital art expressions of social issues accessed nuanced and contradictory experiences, bringing them into dialogue with each other while supporting mutual understanding and new perspectives on rurban place and identity as they evolve. We propose integrating SEA into CSCW with young people in liminal and transitional communities such as the rurban to explore complex lived experiences in pursuit of more equitable futures and sustainable community expansion. We also draw attention to the usefulness of readily available digital and online tools in supporting CSCW in creative workshop situations.

“…Recently, also bridging conceptualizations have emerged, for example the word 'rurban' meaning rapidly expanding rural areas into ancillerary communities to nearby cities [83]. Authors Murray et al assert that 'rurban' areas hold unique characteristics that are different to both rural and urban areas [83]. For the paper contributions in this thesis participants have primarily self-defined their belonging to rural or urban by answering calls directed at e.g.…”

Rural and Urban Mobility: Studying Digital Technology Use and Interaction

Mobility is central to our everyday lives, for commuting, for combatting a sedentary lifestyle, for leisure, etc. Digital technologies are designed and targeted to support people mobility, from travel planners and real-time traffic information to enabling shared modes and on-demand mobility, but we need empirical knowledge about in what ways these digital technologies support mobility. In particular, little HCI research is concerned with how digital technologies and new modes of mobility impact mobility for rural and urban contexts. This thesis investigates mobility in rural and urban contexts by studying the use and interaction with digital technologies for mobility. 1) to characterize rural and urban mobility. 2) to illustrate and discuss how digital technologies support people mobility. 3) to focus on how studies of mobility and digital technology use for rural and urban areas can be planned and carried out. The contribution of this thesis is based on four papers that present four user studies in the field. Whereof two paper contributions portray two matters of rural mobility: how on-demand mobility services attempt to accommodate the last mile problem and integration of digital technologies for mobility. Two papers depict urban mobility on two topics: digital technologies for moving volunteers with first aid competencies purposefully and promptly to nearby cardiac arrests in public places and how shared micromobility adapts to hybrid urban mobility. The empirical findings of this PhD project demonstrate that rural mobility is often characterized by car-based mobility. A low population density impacts the potential demand and thus a high frequency of public transportation is not profitable. Mobility service gaps between rural dwellers and transportation hubs referred to as the first and last mile are challenging to accommodate. Urban mobility is characterized by having an abundance of mobility options, private, public, and shared mobility modes are perceived as highly flexible, although adversely the many mobility options often result in congestion. New modes of hybrid micromobility have yet to establish their purpose and place in the urban mobility landscape. I propose that digital technologies can support rural and urban mobility through integration across public and private modes of mobility, creating flexible ad-hoc routes, enabling shared modes of mobility and mobilizing people. Crucial to success is that mobility information is transparently, dynamically, and timely communicated and that reliability of mobility is high. Studying digital mobility using in-situ methods can be carried out if mobility can be planned or is highly visible, but is not suitable for all mobility contexts. The PhD stipend that made this thesis effort possible is financed partly by the DiCyPS research centre, funded by Innovation Fund Denmark. Also partly financed by the Danish north region transport authority: Nordjyllands Trafikselskab (NT).
