It was noted that locative media games played through smartphones provide a new movement of users to the public spaces, a movement that brought players of digital games into the public space and also brought in those who used to play video games indoors. The theme is the ICT in the form of appropriation of the public space, in the perspective of the games of augmented reality and the form of hybrid relationship that people establish with the public space, since the mobility of the mobile locative games produced visible changes in what concerns the occupation and / or exploitation of such spaces. As the object of this work, the game Pokémon GO was used, because it has been a game of great impact and repercussion in the whole world and by the relation of the augmented reality present in the game. From this perspective we will analyze how locative media games establish a hybrid relationship between people and the public space. It seeks to analyze the different points of view on ICT and how this game had an impact on the dynamics and readings of public spaces by its users. We also observe the possibilities of new practices of interaction in the public space as well as the new perceptions and experiences that a locative media game can provide. Along the course proposed in this dissertation will be present the figure of the flâneur, a fictitious character present in different books, times and nationalities, the flâneur is the rambler of public spaces, the one that discovers paths and urban places through walking in the city. Keywords: New Technologies of Communication and Information (ICT); Leisure; public space; Games; Pokémon GO; Locative Media; Flâneur; Cyber-flâneur; Hybrid Flâneur. ABSTRACT II The object of this work is the game Pokémon GO, because it was a game of great impact and repercussion in the whole world and by the relation of the augmented reality that allows the user not only to ‘get in’ the virtual game, but to see the city in the play, thus creating a hybrid relationship as it 'projects' the Pokémon off the screen. As the player is essentially a walker in the city, the figure of the flâneur was used, and in this work, the concept of hybrid flâneur was created. Keywords: New Technologies of Communication and Information (TCI); public space; Games; Pokémon GO; Locative Media; Flâneur; Cyber-flâneur; Hybrid Flâneur. 4 LISTA DAS ILUSTRAÇÕES.

  • An Exploration of People's Use of Locative Media and The
    Claiming Places: An Exploration of People’s Use of Locative Media and the Relationship to Sense of Place by Glen E. Farrelly A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by Glen E. Farrelly 2017 Claiming Places: An Exploration of People’s Use of Locative Media and the Relationship to Sense of Place Glen E. Farrelly Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2017 Abstract This dissertation explores the role of locative media in people’s place-making activities and sense of place. Sense of place is a human need that entails people’s meanings, memories, and feelings for a location. Recent technological and market developments have introduced powerful geographic information tools and place-related media. By identifying a user’s location, locative media deliver geographically relevant content that enable people to capture and preserve place information, virtually append it to space, and broadcast it to others. Despite locative media’s growing prominence, the influence on sense of place is not well understood. A major finding of this research is that use of locative media can contribute meaningfully to a person’s positive sense of place, including fostering existential connection. This study refutes scholarly and popular dismissals of the medium as only detracting from sense of place. Locative media was found to enable people to make spaces their own by offering geographic relevant information and experiences, recording and sharing place-related impressions, and presenting places in new and enjoyable ways, such as through defamiliarization and decommodification.

While there are other technologies such computing and ambient intelligence are explained as new vistas as GIS (Geographical Information System), GSM (Global System for locative media projects. for Mobile communications) etc. that can be incorporated into locative media studies, the ubiquity of GPS puts this technology to the focus of the locative media research both in terms of Keywords technology and concept development. Locative Media, GPS, Mobile Technologies, Location- Awareness, Context-Awareness, Ubiquitous and Pervasive GPS is a satellite-based navigation system. The GPS network Computing, Ambient Intelligence. consists of 24 satellites that started being placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense starting in 1978. In 1994, with the 1. INTRODUCTION addition of the last satellite, the current system was achieved [2].

  • Poster Sessions to Determine the Independent Variables Related to the Caesarean Deliveries
    A64 J Epidemiol Community Health 2004;58(Suppl I):A64–A125 J Epidemiol Community Health: first published as on 14 July 2004. Downloaded from proportions and by univariate and multiple logistic regression analysis Poster sessions to determine the independent variables related to the caesarean deliveries. Results: The rates of caesarean delivery were 18.9% and 84.3% at 001 TELECONSULTATION FOR ACCOMPLISHMENT OF A and B, respectively.
