The current constant of the virtual factor causes the expression "in person" to decrease at its frequency of effective embodiment. It is now being relegated to special situations, with extraordinarily formatted outlines, even assuming the value of a rarity to be avoided. In this way, the importance of the act of "being with" or "being in front of" increases as the time, in which the exception is suitable, must be taken for precious. The distance increase between people, and the emotional detachment from their living place, grounds for actions that promote the human desire to live collectively, share places, objects and experiences. The present research has the concern of developing and supporting, in a project approach, the life quality of people groups at urban areas, anchoring actions in specific characteristics of their identity legacy. Is intended to contribute to healthier social relationships establishment with the adequacy of social action methodologies sustained in artistic intervention as cultural space mediator. Throughout the works, was intended to demonstrate that participatory environments contribute to generate emotional ties. At interaction, meaning formation is benefited by the perception of specific cultural elements, rooted in memory, which people feel greater affinity, and can be integrated into content of the interactive installations production. These matters queries for what would be an appropriated procedure to discover local identity elements to be included in content production. According to this research, and in an attempt to adopt a methodology, was endeavored to structure a procedure for emerging social problems, to listen citizens and collect credible data that will serve to select contents that enhance well-being. Therefore, an iterative procedure has been produced, derived from Delphi method, from the area of Social Diagnosis, using anonymous consultation questionnaires at sample groups of individuals from a territory. It was established that in this procedure the discussion and validation of collected data will be done through a focus group formed by specialists. This innovative procedure is a starting point in the gathering of identity elements at groups of individuals, for the creation of multimedia installations in city spaces, with interactive sensory stimuli in the fields of vision, hearing, touch and proprioception, fostering the expansion of links between individuals, and of these with their place.
