Abstract
The increasing search for applications that enable the sharing of experiences and the absence of applications that motivate the sharing of local knowledge prompted the development of Visit-M. It is a mobile application that allows residents and visitors of a city to share their experiences and knowledge as a community. Visit-M stimulates a strong social participation, enabling contributions of users alongside with contributions of local authorities. This paper presents a mobile and collaborative digital agenda for local events, places and routes capable of triggering a “social network” effect, generating continuous interest to create a dynamic community. To assess the integration of the developed application into the local community, local authorities were involved and potential users were invited to test the application with encouraging preliminary results.
