摘要

摘要近年来，德国出现了强迫移民潮。促进与当地社区的社会互动是支持这些新移民重新安置的关键。基于位置的免费骑行服务带来了重要的好处，因为免费骑行有可能增强社会参与度，以及基于位置的服务适应用户环境的能力。然而，它们支持被迫移民重新安置的潜力尚待研究。我们在德国明斯特对11名参与者进行了需求评估访谈。我们分析了访谈结果，以开发用户对基于位置的免费自行车服务的需求。然后，我们将用户需求的一个子集实现为一个名为Geofreebie的原型移动应用程序。对该应用程序的22名参与者的评估显示，Geofreebie为被迫移民的重新安置提供了两个关键优势：它增加了他们的社交网络规模，并为他们创造了一种社区感。这些发现可以使基于位置的服务的研究人员和开发商受益，以支持强迫移民重新安置。

Geofreebie: a location-based freecycling app to support forced migrant resettlement

ABSTRACT Germany has witnessed an influx of forced migrants in recent years. Promoting social interaction with the local community is key to supporting the resettlement of these newcomers. Location-based freecycling services present important benefits due to freecycling’s potential to bolster social engagement and location-based services’ ability to adapt to the user’s context. Yet, their potential to support forced migrants’ resettlement is yet to be examined. We conducted needs assessment interviews with 11 participants in Münster, Germany. We analysed the interview results to develop user requirements for location-based freecycling services. We then implemented a subset of the user requirements as a prototype mobile app called Geofreebie. The evaluation of the app with 22 participants showed that Geofreebie offered two key advantages for forced migrants’ resettlement: it increased the size of their social network, and created a sense of community on their side. These findings can benefit researchers and developers of location-based services to support forced migrant resettlement.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
