“…Acknowledging the challenges of community management, namely protecting user privacy while being user-friendly (Alemerien, 2017), the notion of trust is paramount. We observed that the tour operator plays a key role in co-creating the ski-chalet experience by bringing the group together and enabling the experience (Morgan and Xu, 2009;Prahalad & Ramaswamy, 2004) which tourists later share via social media (Munar & Jacobsen, 2014).…”

Ski-chalets provide skiers with a unique experience where 'consumer communities' of likeminded people engage with each other using a blend of online and offline social interactions.In this case study, we draw upon theoretical underpinnings from the brand and consumer community literature to explore individuals' experiences in the consumer community of skichalet aficionados. We investigate how the experience is co-created among other community members and service providers, thus answering calls for more research focusing on the cocreation of tourist encounters. The results of an ethnographic study identified five themes that incorporate both the motivators for engaging in a ski-chalet community and their co-created experiences (socialisation, all-inclusive chalet offering, active hedonistic skiing, location/place, the 'augmented' community of online and offline skiers). Providing new insights into the co-creation of tourist experiences, a framework is developed for understanding augmented communities and the ski-chalet experiencescape.

“…In another article, the authors explored the role of GUIs in managing security and privacy settings in social networks [47]. The authors describe a series of security models to assist SNS developers in designing interactive environments that protect individuals' privacy and security while being extremely user-friendly.…”

“…In some studies, the recommendations resemble reflections on "organizational" aspects, such as (1) the need to assign specific responsibilities to each stakeholder to increase their motivation and prevent the diffusion of responsibilities; (2) understanding the motivations behind the need for security; (3) the security design process should involve, be inclusive, and understandable for all participants; (4) identifying security anecdotes and scenarios [42]. In other studies, the recommendations are very general, focusing on ease of use rather than usability [44], urging developers to concentrate on integrating graphical user interfaces (GUIs) with security aspects to create a user-friendly GUI [43,47]. However, what it means to simplify the design to make GUIs more user-friendly remains unclear.…”

Usable security involves designing security measures that accommodate users’ needs and behaviors. Balancing usability and security poses challenges: the more secure the systems, the less usable they will be. On the contrary, more usable systems will be less secure. Numerous studies have addressed this balance. These studies, spanning psychology and computer science/engineering, contribute diverse perspectives, necessitating a systematic review to understand strategies and findings in this area. This systematic literature review examined articles on usable security from 2005 to 2022. A total of 55 research studies were selected after evaluation. The studies have been broadly categorized into four main clusters, each addressing different aspects: (1) usability of authentication methods, (2) helping security developers improve usability, (3) design strategies for influencing user security behavior, and (4) formal models for usable security evaluation. Based on this review, we report that the field’s current state reveals a certain immaturity, with studies tending toward system comparisons rather than establishing robust design guidelines based on a thorough analysis of user behavior. A common theoretical and methodological background is one of the main areas for improvement in this area of research. Moreover, the absence of requirements for Usable security in almost all development contexts greatly discourages implementing good practices since the earlier stages of development.

User-Friendly Privacy-Preserving Photo Sharing on Online Social Networks

A variety of online social networking (OSNs) services facilitates users to share a huge amount of their personal information such as photos. On the other hand, users may unintentionally reveal their photos to other audiences. Therefore, users of OSNs strive to protect their photos with existing privacy management mechanisms. Moreover, users need adequate feedback to understand their privacy preferences in photo sharing services. In this paper, the authors present a new visualization mechanism called Visual Privacy Management Policy (VPMP) in order to simplify the configuring privacy settings when users of OSNs share their photos with others. Also, this solution aims to address the shortcomings of privacy settings policies of photo sharing in OSNs. Furthermore, the solution employs a social graph and circles for visualizing when, where, how and with whom users will share their photos. So, this solution provides users a comprehensible and effective way to determine their privacy settings. The authors evaluate the visual privacy management policy (VPMP) for photo sharing with a user study that compared our solution with the user interface of photo-sharing on Facebook. The obtained findings provide quantitative evidence regarding the applicability of VPMP in terms of usability and privacy protection.
