In relation to the Digital Co-Creation Index \u2013 a tool to assess, measure and compare digital co-creation initiatives, a conceptual framework was elaborated to convey the penetration of ICT into public spaces. The criteria are structured according to three aspects: spatial quality aspects, user-related aspects, and technological aspects (Figure 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPATIAL QUALITY ASPECTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The approach to evaluating these aspects is grounded on basic principles of researching, understanding and designing public spaces developed by theorists and practitioners such as W.H. Whyte, J. Gehl, S. Carr and others. Specifically, the criteria, indicators and tools from the Project for Public Spaces \u201cThe Place Diagram\u201d (Project for Public Spaces, 2009) and Jan Gehl\u2019s \u201c12 Urban Quality Criteria\u201d (2017) were examined more profoundly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, we took into consideration the outcomes of the CyberParks Project and evaluated the performance of the C3Places POS Quality Index (C3Places, 2019) for the Living Labs assessment that we adapted to the current context of POS, with its digital transformation in mind. The main spatial quality aspects which include additional dimensions relevant for ICT penetration into POS, are defined as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
