The main objective of this work is to understand the role that the repetitive use of location-based services -in this specific work limited to the use of LBMGs- have on people’s mobility and their interaction with place-making activities. The main questions I intend to answer in this respect are linked to change in mobility behaviors due to playing these kinds of games, the interpretation of hybrid spaces, and the meaning of the relationship with the places that these players come to daily interact with through these LBMGs. In order to answer these questions I decided to propose to some habitual players of the LBMG Pokèmon Go a series of semi structured walkin interviews in which they were encouraged to play the game in their usual itinerary while I asked them my questions. I later proceeded to transcribe these interviews and to subject them to a hybrid thematic analysis.

Abstract
The main objective of this work is to understand the role that the repetitive use of location-based services -in this specific work limited to the use of LBMGs- have on people’s mobility and their interaction with place-making activities. The main questions I intend to answer in this respect are linked to change in mobility behaviors due to playing these kinds of games, the interpretation of hybrid spaces, and the meaning of the relationship with the places that these players come to daily interact with through these LBMGs. In order to answer these questions I decided to propose to some habitual players of the LBMG Pokèmon Go a series of semi structured walkin interviews in which they were encouraged to play the game in their usual itinerary while I asked them my questions. I later proceeded to transcribe these interviews and to subject them to a hybrid thematic analysis.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
