    Abstract

    We are now living in smart cities, where information technologies enhance our everyday life. For example, our energy management and traffic management have become smarter, making our daily lives more convenient and efficient. However, from a citizen's point of view, a person's well-being needs to be more important than achieving efficient and convenient smart city infrastructures. This is, in particular, an essential issue for achieving human-centered smart city design. In this paper, we propose a design abstraction referred to as persuasive digital affordance to design meaning in the real world. Persuasive digital affordance contains two models to enhance meaning in the real world based on the concepts typically used in digital games and thereby assist in the design of virtual world.
