Thesis Summary
This graduate thesis explores the integration of human-computer interaction (HCI) with biophilic design principles to enhance civic engagement. By reviewing extensive HCI studies on interactive displays as collaborative media, this project establishes best practices for its development. It aims to connect individuals to the restorative and playful spaces of urban green areas, highlighting their benefits for physical fitness, social interaction, relaxation, and stress reduction. These well-documented advantages form a crucial part of public health strategies. This project aspires to deepen engagement, transforming these experiences from public services into shared community values.
