Abstract
The media biotope concept considers media communication structures to be analogous to an eco biotope. Communities created by local media are connected and mutually influence each other. First, the properties of communication media suitable for creating media biotopes are discussed in order to define the concept of media biotope. Two novel communication mediums based on the media biotope concept were identified: one would strengthen communication among residents in a regions and the other would help travellers learn about sightseeing spots and communicate with residents. These mediums are designed to increase residents’ enthusiasm for their region by promoting awareness among others.
