Abstract

This article investigates the role of human-centered digital transformation in fundamentally influencing the digital public space, directing it towards greater inclusivity, accessibility, and democracy. It questions how the implementation of human-centered digital transformation can be effectively carried out to enhance the digital space, enabling the discussion of ideas, expression of opinions, and social participation. Utilizing deductive and monographic methods for in-depth analysis, it is hypothesized that ethical principles, inclusive design practices, and policies prioritizing human well-being can create a more inclusive and representative digital public space. The results suggest that human-centered digital transformation not only benefits individuals and communities by promoting inclusivity and participation but also strengthens the democratic fabric of digital society by directing technological innovations to meet essential human needs and reinforce democratic values.
