Design and Evaluation of an Online Neighborhood Social Network for Fostering Social Connectedness and Participation: Lessons from Two Urban Neighborhoods

Increasing urbanization and population aging, as well as associated adverse outcomes such as social isolation or exclusion, imperil the well-being of local communities. Online neighborhood social networks (ONSNs) represent a novel type of online social network that exhibits promising effects on the social connectedness and social participation of inhabitants of urban neighborhoods. Following a design science research approach, we draw on empirical data from two case neighborhoods as well as extant literature and develop design principles for an ONSN for fostering social connectedness and participation. We instantiate this design knowledge into the MyNeighbors ONSN and conduct a long-term naturalistic evaluation. Based on platform usage, an online survey and qualitative interviews, we determine that ONSNs harbor the potential to improve the social connectedness and participation of neighbors. Our validated design knowledge contributes to research on ONSNs as well as technology-mediated social connectedness and participation

Older Adults' Use of Online Neighborhood Social Networks: Perceptions, Challenges and Effects

Online social networks (OSNs) have demonstrated potential for enabling older adults to remain socially connected and for counteracting social isolation and loneliness. With older adults preferring to age in place, their local community and neighborhood gain in importance. Online neighborhood social networks (ONSNs) are a novel type of OSN aimed at connecting local communities by facilitating social interaction, information sharing and peer support among neighbors. With a focus on trust and privacy, local relevance and integration with local organizations and institutions, they might be particularly well suited for the needs of older adults. We investigate the relationship between older adults and ONSNs by analyzing usage data, an online survey and interviews with users of an ONSN active in two urban neighborhoods in Germany. Our findings show that the case ONSN was successful in facilitating communication between neighbors and in promoting participation in community life for older adults
