Abstract
The present article investigates the possibility of understanding the different city visions and conflicts arising in digital interactions in network of movements that discuss the use of urban space. We assume “expanded participation” as a way to include new social arrangements, present in cultures that use networked communication as a means to share visions, values and produce meanings and actions collectively. Digital network interactions make possible a form of participation based on personal expression of individuals interacting in social networks. The study analyzed the case of the movement Parco del Basento in the city of Potenza, Italy. The movement grown using as the main platform for the dissemination and discussion of ideas one Facebook page. The analysis of posts and their interactions was based on Social Network Analysis and Text Analysis Tools to investigated convergent positions of members on topics such as Urban Space and the city visions that emerge from discussions. Finally we analyze possibilities and difficulties found in the usage of this kind of tool.
