The document discusses a research proposal to identify the role of current digital media practices in creating culturally responsive environments in urban transit spaces. The research aims to understand the relationship between culturally responsive environments and digital media systems. It will develop a methodology to investigate this role through case studies and qualitative analysis. The objectives are to study literature, develop an approach, evaluate the approach through case studies, analyze findings, and inform design practice on integrating cultural contexts into digital systems. The methodology will build on methods from the researcher's Master's dissertation and include literature review, case studies, qualitative analysis, experiments, and interviews.

6. Research Question: What is the role of current digital media practices in creating culturally responsive environments in urban transit spaces?

7. Sub Questions: How to understand the relationship between the culturally responsive environments and digital media systems? How to identify the role of current digital media practices in creating culturally responsive environments in urban transit places? How to develop a methodological approach to integrate cultural responsiveness in the development of digital technologies?

8. Aim of the research: The proposal aims to identify the role of current digital media practices in creating culturally responsive environments especially in urban transit places of developing countries context.

9. Objectives of the research: To develop literature study for understanding the relationship between the culturally responsive environments and the current implications of digital media systems in urban transit spaces. To develop a methodological approach to investigate the role of current digital media practices in creating culturally responsive environments in urban transit places. To evaluate the developed methodology in different cultural contexts taking the case study approach as the primary investigation tool. To analyse the findings of the primary study by using compare and combined analysis of different case studies. To inform the design practice on how to integrate the cultural contexts in the assimilation of digital systems for creating culturally responsive environments.

10. Methodology: Methods used in Master’s dissertation will be developed further to investigate the primary aim of the research.
