ABSTRACT
Everyday communities seem to juggle their technology use largely through the contributions and knowledge brought by its members. This contrasts with work settings where there is a greater focus on strategic choices to acquire new technologies and competencies. We focus on how artifact ecologies are shaped in community settings by personal and community relationships, and on the methodological possibilities of understanding these communities for the purpose of design, and making informed technology choices in communities. We applied interview and visual mapping methods, before undertaking a 'remapping' process as part of our data analysis, thus contributing methodologically to the investigation of artifact ecologies at large and community artifact ecologies in particular. Theoretically, we extend the understanding of dynamics in artifact ecologies and highlight the ways these dynamics are shaped by the social interactions taking place, around technological artifacts, in everyday situations.

Studying Ecologies of Calendar Artifacts
ECCE '14: Proceedings of the 2014 European Conference on Cognitive ErgonomicsCalendar use has been widely investigated over the past decades. While many studies focus on specific domains or on a competition between paper and digital tools, this paper tries to understand calendar artifacts as part of ecologies where tasks, ...

C&T '09: Proceedings of the fourth international conference on Communities and technologiesUser-created media content is being increasingly shared with the communities people belong to. The content has a role of a motivator in social interaction within the communities. In fact, the content creation and management can be often seen as a ...
When we talk about older people in HCI, who are we talking about? Towards a turn to community in the design of technologies for a growing ageing population
We present a 5-year research-through-design study that explores ICT use by older people.We discuss common assumptions in the discourse of designing ICT for older people.We introduce a turn to community to re-think the field of HCI and ageing.Community, ...
