Assuming a network environment, the reorganization of various aspects of our "movement" is in progress. In social media, location information and information such as behavioral trajectories and access history are being utilized, which is transforming our communication and human relationships.
This project is based on the perspective of "mobile method" proposed by Buscher, Urry, Witchger et al. (2011) and the trend of "locative media" research (for example, Wilken & Goggin, 2014). It attempts to connect social studies of "movement" of things, information, ideas, and design research of social fabrication.
In this project, based on geography and sociology, we understand the diverse "life documents" that people continue to generate (sometimes inevitably) in their daily lives. Then explore research methodologies and research designs.
