Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the indiscriminate nature of global interconnectivity, compelling immediate and transformative changes in our daily lives. This crisis has highlighted leadership deficiencies and underscored the broken aspects of our society that were previously taken for granted. As we envision the future, it is crucial to move beyond mere safety and strive for a regenerative society that is fundamentally better. This research paper introduces the concept of the Virtual Living Lab (VLL), a pre-pandemic initiative designed to track and analyze essential lifestyle narratives. Leveraging signal analyses, the VLL identifies and monitors narratives that deeply captivate and engage individuals. By examining these narratives in both the United Kingdom and Japan, we gain valuable insights into the influence of culture and the growing role of ethics in facilitating meaningful transformations. Furthermore, this study recognizes the evolving nature of our network-mediated society, characterized by fluid boundaries between organizations and individuals. Through an exploration of engagement, transformation, and culture, we investigate how these factors shape a thriving society. We also acknowledge the critical role of big data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in analyzing and understanding these dynamics. During the pandemic, community value emerged as a vital resource for survival. Now, as individuals reevaluate their lives and seek sustainable and meaningful work-life harmony, community value can play an increasingly significant role. This research delves into the intertwined concepts of narratives, engagement, transformation, culture, well-being, communication, and balanced life, shedding light on their collective impact in shaping a thrivable society.

释放社区价值:通过参与和福祉建设可持续社会
2019冠状病毒病大流行暴露了全球互联互通不分青红皂白的本质,迫使我们的日常生活发生直接和变革性的变化。这场危机凸显了领导力的不足,也凸显了我们社会中以前被视为理所当然的支离破碎的方面。当我们展望未来时,重要的是要超越安全,为一个从根本上更好的再生社会而奋斗。本研究报告介绍了虚拟生活实验室(VLL)的概念,这是一项旨在跟踪和分析基本生活方式叙述的大流行前倡议。利用信号分析,VLL识别和监控深深吸引和吸引个人的叙述。通过研究英国和日本的这些叙事,我们对文化的影响和道德在促进有意义的变革中的日益重要的作用获得了宝贵的见解。此外,本研究认识到我们的网络中介社会的不断发展的本质,其特点是组织和个人之间的流动边界。通过对参与、转型和文化的探索,我们研究了这些因素如何塑造一个繁荣的社会。我们也承认大数据和人工智能(AI)在分析和理解这些动态方面的关键作用。在大流行期间,社区价值成为生存的重要资源。现在,随着个人重新评估自己的生活,寻求可持续的、有意义的工作与生活的和谐,社区价值可以发挥越来越重要的作用。这项研究深入探讨了叙事、参与、转变、文化、幸福、沟通和平衡生活等相互交织的概念,揭示了它们在塑造一个繁荣社会中的共同影响。
