2021 - Franco Angeli

97-115 p.

  • This article aims to verify how the personal network in online space generated by individuals belonging to social groups and virtual communities, represents a contribution and a support for the relational life in the real social space. We carried out an exploratory study where, through the analysis of a case, the basis for understanding the phenomenon of the Social Streets were acquired: our hypothesis could be tested on a larger number of cases by future researches. Some members of a Facebook group of a Social Street were involved through online questionnaires. We found that the individuals' online community life can be significantly linked to the group's offline life in the shared urban social space of the street, shaping our example as a hybrid community and a concrete case of augmented reality.
