摘要：Digitally enhanced public open spaces are ideal environments for the social innovations to emerge
due to the involvement of the entire community and ICT (Information and Communication Tools)
in knowledge creation and aggregation. This research paper presents an early-stage methodological
digital co-creation assessment framework that considers a variety of aspects to transform public
open places into co-created spaces: socio-cultural contexts, multi-stakeholder perspective, diversity
in needs, incentives for participation of different groups and cooperation capabilities. The framework
incorporates these aspects and proposes a suitable community-wide co-creation model employing
the creative, innovative and cooperative applications of ICT. The assessment methodology
is developed using a pragmatic mixed-method research design where the theoretical framework
summarizes current research progress on the topic and the expert interviews allow to condense
the complex and multi-dimensional realities for decision-makers seeking social innovations in the
public spaces. The methodological assessment framework presented in this paper strengthens the
scientific evidence regarding the potential of co-creation in developing social innovations and provides
a managerial framework for developing co-creative initiatives.
