欧洲社会创新设计探究的动态和趋势

Status and Trends of European Social Innovation Design Exploration

目的综述欧洲地区在社会创新设计领域的探索和研究动态,总结其发展脉络、特点和趋势,为该领域进一步研究提供参考。方法以欧洲社会创新的起源为切入点,阐述其社会背景和研究历史;通过对国际社会创新与可持续设计联盟(DESIS)、英国设计协会RED研究中心等欧洲该领域的研究联盟、机构的代表性研究项目的动态扫描,综合归纳其社会创新设计研究的脉络、特征和趋势。结论欧洲有良好的公民社会基础为设计介入社会创新提供了有利环境;目前针对社会创新的设计研究一方面导向可持续生活方式的群体性行为改变,另一方面面向公共事务和服务的公众参与设计与决策。进一步将面向更广泛的社会问题和变革中。

It aims at presenting a general picture of European social innovation design activities and its development process, features and new trends. It starts with the origin of social innovation phenomena, illustrating its social back- ground and history. Then it goes to look at how design interventions have taken part in and leveraged social innovation process with successful cases from DESIS network （design for social innovation and sustainability）, RED （Design Coun- cil） and other important design research centres, labs and institutions in Europe. At the end, its characteristics and trends have been summarised. In Europe, highly citizen engagement in social issues has provided big opportunities and positive environment for design interventions in social innovation. And the design research activities mainly focus on two direc- tions： social behaviour transformation towards sustainable lifestyle and decision making management on public and social issues with diverse stakeholders, engagement. Design, in the future, will provide more significant values to social innova- tion development process.
