Urban Gamification: Designing Municipal Websites for Enhanced Citizen Trust
摘要
This short paper addresses the complex relationship dynamics between a municipal website’s gamified IS artifact design and the desired goal states of municipal trust. To better understand this relationship, a mixed-methods study is proposed that identifies relevant gamification features in a three-step process in Study 1 and then explores the relationship between gamification and municipal trust using a survey in Study 2. The study results promise added value for (a) user-centered technology design and (b) novel feedback mechanisms to strengthen municipal trust. Additionally, we will contribute to existing gamification literature by identifying relevant gamification features in relation to the design of municipal websites.
