Abstract
Successful uptake and acceptance of technologies and strategies for symbiotic solutions require active engagement of relevant stakeholder groups. By exchanging knowledge, developing ideas, and learning together, stakeholders contribute to innovative and sustainable water management solutions within industrial symbiosis. ULTIMATE fosters such engagement across its nine case studies (CS) through three approaches: eXtended Reality technologies for Immersive Media Experiences (IMX), Communities of Practice (CoPs), and Water-Oriented Living Labs (WOLLs). The IMX leverages a Place by Design Playbook to co-create tailored installations that represent CS experiences, augmented by synthetic overlays and gamification via an augmented reality app. CoPs, maintained as social learning systems, bring together experts and stakeholders to co-develop and support solutions. Meanwhile, WOLLs offer real-world environments to refine and test innovations, ensuring their relevance and adoption. Together, these approaches create a framework for fostering collaboration, innovation, and sustainable practices in industrial symbiosis.
共生解决方案的技术和战略的成功吸收和接受需要相关利益相关者群体的积极参与。通过知识交流、思想交流和共同学习,利益相关者在工业共生中为创新和可持续的水管理解决方案做出了贡献。ULTIMATE通过三种方法在其九个案例研究(CS)中促进这种参与:沉浸式媒体体验(IMX)的扩展现实技术、实践社区(cop)和面向水的生活实验室(WOLLs)。IMX利用Place by Design Playbook共同创建代表CS体验的定制装置,并通过增强现实应用程序进行合成叠加和游戏化。cop作为社会学习系统,将专家和利益相关者聚集在一起,共同开发和支持解决方案。同时,WOLLs提供了真实的环境来改进和测试创新,确保它们的相关性和采用。总之,这些方法为促进工业共生中的协作、创新和可持续实践创造了一个框架。
