*Overview*
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Mediterranean region stands at a crucial intersection of tradition
and modernity, offering a fertile ground where the intersection of rich
cultural heritage and cutting-edge technological advancements invites
exploration. As a result, a unique opportunity arises to investigate how
Human-Computer Interaction research can enrich and advocate for these
intrinsic values in the digital age. By leveraging the fusion of modern
technology and timeless Mediterranean culture, HCI research can play a
pivotal role in enhancing various aspects of life in the Mediterranean
region.
This special issue aims to bring together scholars, researchers, and
practitioners to delve into the multifaceted relationship between
digital technologies and Mediterranean values through the lens of HCI.
Relevant questions to be answered include:
* How can HCI research contribute to the preservation and promotion of
Mediterranean cultural heritage in the digital era?
* What are the ethical considerations and challenges in designing
digital solutions that respect Mediterranean values and traditions?
* How can HCI methodologies be adapted to better serve the diverse
populations of the Mediterranean region?
* What innovative HCI applications can support sustainable tourism and
economic development in Mediterranean countries?
* How can digital technologies facilitate intercultural dialogue and
understanding among Mediterranean communities
