Abstract

Abstract. Increasing the interest of a region through culture has been a major driving force for developing quality information services to support cultural events in Småland, a region in Southeast Sweden. This paper focuses on the exploration and identification of requirements to design a mobile application and a website as an initial step towards achieving the purpose above. Our methodological approach involved three major phases. First, an interview with cultural events providers was conducted, in order to identify initial needs and requirements for building two types of interfaces. Then, initial mock-ups of those interfaces were designed and implemented, followed by another round of interviews to gain insights and feedback on those. Themes in the interviews focused on requirements, functionalities, cultural event providers in the different regions and user groups. The information gathered from the interviews was then used when creating a new round of refined mock-ups. Future research efforts will focus on developing an interactive prototype and to gain feedback from content providers and a range of potential end user groups before moving towards the implementation of a fully functional system.
