The Social Influences Of Digital Technologies In The Design Of S.Pss And De: A Literature Review, Alessandra Caroline Canfield Petrecca, Carlo Arnaldo Vezzoli

IASDR Conference Series

Digital technologies have become essential in most parts of the world. Being leveraged by the covid-19 pandemic, they have been used to scale up and create new products and services in different sectors. It is a shared understanding that these disruptive technologies have caused profound changes in the structure of society and, particularly, opening discussions about ethics and democracy. The Sustainable Product-Service (S.PSS) and Distributed Economy (DE) systems models are win-win opportunities for sustainability, not only in the economic and environmental but also, in the social dimension, sometimes neglected. Despite the growing application of digital technologies, there are few discussions …

Designing The Interaction Between Humans And Autonomous Systems: The Role Of Behavioral Science., Dirk Van Rooy

IASDR Conference Series

In recent years, the use of autonomous systems has grown rapidly in both the industrial and military sectors. These systems have the potential to revolutionize the way we live and work, from self-driving cars and drones to automated factories and military equipment. However, it has been argued, for this to happen, researchers and designers need to (re)consider the interaction between humans and machines, as it plays a significant role in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of autonomous systems (De Regt & Gagnon, 2020; Janssen et al., 2019). In this paper, I will argue that a closer integration with applied …

Codesign Facilitation For Workforce Satisfaction, Kimberly Tsen, Mauricio Mejía, Danielle Foushee, Michelle Fehler

IASDR Conference Series

In the current work environment, businesses are expecting more than the workforce can provide. This gap in expectation is leading to higher rates of resignation due to increased burnout. To further understand this issue, strategic design methods were utilized as part of the research process. By studying the historical reasons behind these shifts, and interviewing employees that experienced burnout, paradoxically, strategic design methods were also determined to be the solution. A company will go through a design journey facilitated by a strategic design studio so that the unique differences in each company culture are considered. A workshop that is a …

Why Design Matters In Local Business Commoning, Yedam Ryou, Chorong Kim, Eunji Woo, Ki-Young Nam

IASDR Conference Series

The role of design is vital in facilitating the collaborative activities among various stakeholders in "commoning". Commoning local businesses can lead to the revitalization of a local economy with the local residents generating both commercial and social benefits. However, commoning in general is geared toward creating social benefits. As such, the existing model of commoning is not suitable for local business commoning. The few existing cases of local business commoning show that residents and proprietors benefit from exchanging resources based on their needs, but these exchanges tend to take place in ad-hoc and/or one-off ways. Therefore, this research aims to …

Investigating The Adoption Of Autonomous Processes In The Context Of Organizations, Garoa Gomez Beldarrain, Euiyoung Kim, Himanshu Verma, Alessandro Bozzon

IASDR Conference Series

The technological enablers for process automation have experienced a fast-paced development in the past decades (Omohundro, 2014). In organizations, the adoption of autonomous technologies could bring many benefits, as they offer the potential to increase the efficiency and precision of operations (Jovanovic et al., 2019; Mallam et al., 2020), to compensate human workers’ limitations in uncomfortable and repetitive physical tasks (Kadir et al., 2019), or to reduce labour-related costs (Jovanovic et al., 2019; Omohundro, 2014). Nevertheless, new challenges emerge when implementing autonomous technologies in organizational processes, such as human element issues (Mallam et al., 2020; Nazir et al., 2014), new …

Tools For Opening The Lonely Black Box And Changing Young Adults' Perspectives Of Their Loneliness., Mads Bärenholdt

IASDR Conference Series

1 Introduction While the pandemic was happening, almost everybody felt the experience of being lonely, which researchers has been described as a “non-pleasant subjective feeling” (Cacioppo & Cacioppo, 2012; de Jong Gierveld et al., 2006; Peplau, 1998). While many only experiences loneliness briefly as a temporality state of an emotional discrepancy, some are experiencing loneliness as a more extended encounter – which can have fatigue consequences for the lonely, e.g. due to sleep loss which can lead to depression, among other consequences (Matthews et al., 2017), and have an impact on how the lonely are perceiving themselves (Jones et al., …

Queering Futures With Data-Driven Speculation: The Design Of An Expanded Mixed Methods Research Framework Integrating Qualitative, Quantitative, And Practice-Based Modes., Jess Westbrook

IASDR Conference Series

Creative research, “tends to resist binary or categorical thinking,” and can gather both qualitative and quantitative data. Just both? Why stop there? The Queering Futures Framework (QFF) disregards traditional mixed methods research conventions. It Queers methodology. After intersecting concurrent qualitative and quantitative modes, it wanders and stretches into a practice-based mode. It is in the culminating creative practice-based mode that signals identified in the qualitative and the quantitative datasets are compared, scanned, probed, mined, and leveraged using a new futures method I call data-driven speculation. Data-driven speculation is a practice-based research method. Data-driven speculation uses signals as sparks in the …

Technological Mediation Analysis On Constructive Design Research: A Case Study Of Trust, Daniela Delgado Ramos

IASDR Conference Series

Undoubtedly, new technological artifacts, systems, and platforms can have a major impact on the social context of any community. In his book Bowling Alone, Putnam points out how technology has fueled individualization and ultimately the erosion of the American community(Putnam, 2000). My research is interested in trust as a specific factor essential for navigating social life(Luhmann, 1973), which is also said to be affected by the adoption of various technologies (Ashmore & Restrepo-Forero, 2013; Brennan, 2021; Danaher & Sætra, 2022). Furthermore, my research is contextualized in Colombia, the country with the second lowest level of interpersonal trust in the world …

Snapping (Identities) Through Design Forward, Sara Iebole Oct 2023

Snapping (Identities) Through Design Forward, Sara Iebole

IASDR Conference Series

«Social norms are powerful. People will mostly do what they see others do. It’s how the human animal learns to succeed. What we learn from the curricula of conventional education pales in comparison to what we learn by watching the actual behavior of the teachers and students around us.» (Mau, 2020). This reflection, in relation to design as a discipline capable of enacting transformative processes in society - defining it through the formalization of roles and possibilities, as well as to stereotypes and forms of oppression - offers an inspiring perspective of the subject matter. In fact, Design is a …

Responsible Tourism Experiences: Designing Solutions To Improve Communities-Based Tourism Services From Global To Local Scale., Valentina Facoetti

IASDR Conference Series

In recent decades the tourism sector has undergone multiple evolutions, due to its dynamic and complex nature. While globalised mass tourism characterised the demand for tourism in the 20th century, in the new millennium this demand is significantly stronger and diversified, induced also by the emergence of new information technologies, greater ease of travel and the increase in the supply of affordable accommodation (Gainsforth, 2020). Despite the positive impact on economic development, increased tourism consumption has led to the exploitation of natural and local resources causing damage to the environment and host communities (Fragidis et. al, 2022). The COVID-19 pandemic …

Co-Creating Narratives Of Usefulness, Elisa Cardamone Oct 2023

Co-Creating Narratives Of Usefulness, Elisa Cardamone

IASDR Conference Series

Health and social care are moving increasingly towards digital platforms and greater knowledge of people’s lifestyles and habits through numbers (Sharon 2016, 2017; Sharon & Zandbergen 2017; Rooksby et al. 2014; Swan 2013). However, among ageing populations, digital devices often enter households just to be forgotten in cupboards due to their lack of “usefulness” (Kim et al. 2022; Spann and Stewart 2018). Research shows that people aged 65 and older tend to use fewer technologies and to do so less frequently than younger individuals (Smith 2014). How can we empathise with the lived experience of ageing populations, designing devices that …

Mindfulness For Designers. An Integration Of Mindfulness, Design Education And Reflective Practices, Alberto Iberbuden

IASDR Conference Series

How should we educate designers to enable them to address the challenges of a complex, unpredictable, and interconnected future? What are the specific competences that designers need to address these challenges, and what pedagogical approaches are necessary to cultivate these competences? Although educators are shaping multiple paths to explore these issues, the complex nature of these questions demands holistic, multidisciplinary, and empathic approaches, rather than mechanical and outdated ones to envision educational systems that meet their students' needs. Researchers have become interested in mindfulness as a potential tool to improve educational practices. Mindfulness simply means paying attention in a certain …

Exploring And Facilitating Daoism's Contributions To Design Prototype, A Case Study From A "More-Than-Human" Social Innovation Project: Hokkhi, Jixiang Jiang, Shu Zhang, Yizao Wu

IASDR Conference Series

In the face of the current environmental crises and the emergent debate over how we as a species should respond to it, local-context discussions, research, and practice are rapidly growing in a number of regions. Within the confines of the design community, there is an ever-growing view of these discussions as representing a culturally diverse perspective on design, as opposed to the current Western-centric design shaped by modernism and capitalist market economies, and as representing the emergence of an emerging design scene of pluriverse. This study extends the concept of the oyster reef conservation project referred to as "Hokkhi," produced …

How Students Perceive Lecturers' Gestures? An Exploration In Gesture-Meaning Matching Toward Embodied Pedagogical Agent Design, Lai Wei, Kenny K. N. Chow Oct 2023

How Students Perceive Lecturers' Gestures? An Exploration In Gesture-Meaning Matching Toward Embodied Pedagogical Agent Design, Lai Wei, Kenny K. N. Chow

IASDR Conference Series

Many studies have demonstrated that meaningful gestures, such as the iconic and the metaphoric, may considerably assist students’ comprehension and enhance their learning engagement. Additionally, virtual lecturers have positively influenced students' online learning experiences. Yet, there seems to be no concrete evidence of how students recognize these gestures. Investigating the comprehension of lecturers' natural gestures from the perspective of students has the potential to inform the creation of embodied gestural pedagogical agents (PA). This paper conducted empirical studies investigating how students recognized and interpreted lectures’ gestures in real-life design classes. By analysing four sets of paired cases, which consist of …

Design Interventions Are Not Received Equally: Ssi And Mediated Influences In Decision-Making, Meichun Liu, Tsailu Liu Oct 2023

Design Interventions Are Not Received Equally: Ssi And Mediated Influences In Decision-Making, Meichun Liu, Tsailu Liu

IASDR Conference Series

Many artifacts are designed with the purpose of intervening in human behaviour and influencing decisions. However, their persuasive effect can depend on the users and circumstances. Our study focuses on personal and situational factors in people’s decision-making under technology-mediated social influence, or “mediated influence.” We displayed the information of the majority decisions to provide references when participants performed tasks. The statistical results show that people were affected by the mediated influence, which accelerates the process of consensus formation among community members. However, those scoring low on susceptibility to social influence (SSI) generally regarded the references as impeding their decision-making, except …
