Bridging neighbors through sharing.
A new residential community of around 500 people is planned near Anscharpark. We held a workshop there to explore ways to strengthen neighborly relations and enhance the sense of community in the area.
We interviewed shoppers at a local supermarket to learn about their views on neighbors. Residents from different backgrounds emphasized the importance of neighborhood networks.
Some occasionally offer help, while others barely know their next-door neighbors—often due to brief encounters or frequent moves. Despite this, most expressed a positive attitude toward building neighborly connections.

We named this platform “Ansharing.” It is an app-based platform that enables users to share or receive food, as well as to post and join various community activities. Centered around food sharing, it creates opportunities for neighbors to connect, interact, and build lasting relationships.
On the Browse page, users can view shared posts with an image, title, sharer, distance, and pickup time.
When an order is confirmed, a persistent floating reminder appears on the Home (Browse) page, allowing users to quickly review and access their order. The reminder can be dismissed at any time and reopened from the header.
Users can view all their confirmed orders in My Sharings/Pickups, where each order is shown with its image, title, and provider.
Completed past orders are shown in gray for clear visual distinction.
