Abstract

In this paper we are trying to explore possibilities of using online environment, multiplayer gaming culture and social media networks to engage people in Danube Region around social, multi cultural and environment initiatives. Danube Region online community could become a new cultural phenomena, technology mediated, built on human interactions, common interests and cultural heritage which open space for future human-centered social and infrastructural design initiatives.We believe that such social media environment could also be a research playground where people form Danube Region may express their needs and desires as well as to leave the trace of their behavior, significant for further Danube Region development.
