With the development of digital technology, it has become common to use modern computing and interactive technologies to enhance communication between people, physical spaces and digital information. Most museums are also beginning to apply the new technology of the day to improve the experience of the visitors. The relationship between museum collections and the audiences they serve has been reshaped through design. Design has become a key tool in the museum and cultural heritage sector with the advent of the digital age. This review summarises three trends in exhibition design in the digital age through a combing of the literature: …

In the popular imagination, sustainability is often synonymous with environmentalism, but it encapsulates much more. While environmentalism and conservation are often a focal point of sustainability efforts, so too are the people who impact the environment through their actions and associated activism. In this paper, we examine the discourse on sustainability, nature conservation and climate change. We focus, in particular, on the relationship between humans and the seas, where three main topics entangle: eco-feminism, ocean conservation and well-being. This paper highlights its implications for research on sustainability, nature conservation and climate change by outlining an aqueous logic — a fluid …


How Design Thinking Can Support The Establishment Of An Eu Govtech Ecosystem, Marzia Mortati, Ilaria Mariani, Francesca Rizzo Oct 2023

How Design Thinking Can Support The Establishment Of An Eu Govtech Ecosystem, Marzia Mortati, Ilaria Mariani, Francesca Rizzo

IASDR Conference Series

GovTech is a relatively new domain of joint interest for public administrations and the private sector. It is recognised to bring social, economic and environmental benefits to (i) the government by driving administrative efficiency, (ii) to citizens by improving quality of services, and to (iii) business by creating the conditions for start-ups growth. In order to provide services that more effectively satisfy citizens' needs and expectations while also complying with government regulations, the GovTech sector is currently exploring how to embrace design thinking and approaches for effective citizen engagement. Building upon the triangulation of knowledge from the existing body of …


Learning Technology With Beginner-Friendly Software: Design Students' On Attitude Towards Software Alternatives, Jeffrey C. F. Ho, Ryan Ng, Hebitz H. C. Lau Oct 2023

Learning Technology With Beginner-Friendly Software: Design Students' On Attitude Towards Software Alternatives, Jeffrey C. F. Ho, Ryan Ng, Hebitz H. C. Lau

IASDR Conference Series

When teachers introduce a new type of technology, they often choose a beginner-friendly software option. The aim of the current study was to investigate whether and how design students' perception towards a beginner-friendly software influences their perception, attitude, and intention to learn other more advanced software. Based on the Technology Acceptance Model, we proposed and tested correlations between students' perception towards beginner-friendly software and their perceptions of other software in the same category. To introduce computational tools for conducting big-data research, we developed a beginner-friendly software called Onion, which allows design students to use computational tools such as data retrieval …


Transforming Resilient Healthcare Systems: Mapping The Pathway Forward With Healthcare 4.0 Technologies, Valentina Marques Da Rosa, Flavio S. Fogliatto, Tarcísio A. Saurin, Guilherme L. Tortorella, Leandro M. Tonetto Oct 2023

Transforming Resilient Healthcare Systems: Mapping The Pathway Forward With Healthcare 4.0 Technologies, Valentina Marques Da Rosa, Flavio S. Fogliatto, Tarcísio A. Saurin, Guilherme L. Tortorella, Leandro M. Tonetto

IASDR Conference Series

Traditional approaches to healthcare service design usually seek resilient healthcare relying on social interactions between care providers. The current growth in the adoption of digital technologies in healthcare systems, usually grouped under the acronym H4.0 (Healthcare 4.0), calls for the integration of Resilience Engineering (RE) principles and Information and Communications digital technologies in the design of healthcare services. This paper offers an expert-based mapping of how H4.0 technologies may impact four abilities that characterize resilient healthcare systems, namely: monitor, anticipate, respond, and learn. Based on our findings, we discuss how designers and healthcare managers should jointly consider RE and H4.0 …


A Design-Driven Approach To Distributed Ledger Technologies For Small Farmers Communities: A Case Study In Portugal, Sabrina Scuri, Catarina Ribeiro, Valentina Nisi Oct 2023

A Design-Driven Approach To Distributed Ledger Technologies For Small Farmers Communities: A Case Study In Portugal, Sabrina Scuri, Catarina Ribeiro, Valentina Nisi

IASDR Conference Series

Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) has the potential to transform the agri-food sector, empowering rural and underserved farming communities by enabling the creation of a more environmentally sustainable and socio-economically inclusive food system. Several PoC and pilot projects are running all over the world to test this specific use case. However, the success rate of these initiatives is still limited. A critical analysis of the state-of-the-art suggests as a possible explanation for the observed trend that the current research approach to DLT for agriculture is mostly technology-driven. This limits our ability to develop solutions that provide benefits to the communities they’re …

Digital Transition, Sustainable Product-Service System (S.Pss), And Environmental Sustainability - A Systematic Review, Hang Su, Carlo Arnaldo Vezzoli, Nan Xia

IASDR Conference Series

Recently, the ongoing digital transition has brought forth both new risks and opportunities for environmental sustainability. However, despite some attention given to potential relationships between related areas and a growing research interest therein, a limited number of studies have holistically explored the nexus between digital transition, PSS, and environmental benefits. This research is a systematic literature review focused on the relationship between S.PSS and environmental sustainability during the digital transition process. We propose a novel analytical perspective by synthesizing and mapping the existing literature to derive a potential pathway for digital technologies to optimize four S.PSS relevant factors through four …

Studying Interaction Design Practices With Theory Instruments, Jacob Buur, Mette Gislev Kjærsgaard, Jessica Sorenson, Ayşe Özge Ağça

DRS Biennial Conference Series

From previous research we learned that (1) interaction designers are experiencing new challenges in response to increasing digitalization, and that (2) current methods and conceptual frameworks seem insufficient for addressing these challenges. In this paper, we explore how playing with theoretical con-cepts in tangible ways may allow practitioners to gain new perspectives on cur-rent practices, challenges and possibilities. We introduce a set of Design Anthro-pological Theory Instruments to bring social theory into conversations with prac-titioners. Via the instruments, the researchers' data collection process and the participants' reflection processes come together in a collective sense-making ex-perience. Our analysis of video recordings …
