Living Lab for Digital Literacy and Active Ageing. Systematic Literature Review of Scientific Production in the Social Sciences

Abstract

The aim of this study is to know the state of the art of Living Labs in the field of Social Sciences. To this end, a Systematic Literature Review was carried out with the aim of answering the following research questions: a) what types of studies are carried out on Living Labs, b) what are the aims and objectives of the Living Lab analysed, c) what is its geographical context, d) the type of users it is aimed at and e) what are the characteristics shared by the different Living Labs analysed in the selected literature. After analysing the literature, the results show a predominance of both qualitative research and studies carried out in the European context, as well as heterogeneity in the objectives of the research analysed and coincidence in the characteristics of the Living Labs analysed. The conclusions point to the need to develop research on Living Labs in the field of Social Sciences and, specifically, from an educational perspective that promotes the technological inclusion of the elderly.
