Abstract

Regenerative paradigms seek to realign the built environment with living systems by activating the capacity of communities and ecosystems to coevolve in mutually beneficial ways. Supporting regenerative outcomes, this study introduces a Community Nature (Re)Connection Workshop as a place-based approach to engaging communities through the ecology of place. Informed by experiential and social collective learning theories, and inspired by biomimicry, the pilot workshop was iteratively refined through participant feedback. Quantitative analysis of pre- and post-workshop surveys demonstrated its potential to significantly strengthen participants’ sense of connection to nature, heighten interest in continued learning, and deepen appreciation of local ecology. The workshop’s experiential approach supports ecoliteracy as a foundation for place-based community engagement, ecologically informed regenerative outcomes, and community capacity-building for stewardship.

感知基于地的生态知识用于再生开发和设计

再生模式通过激活社区和生态系统以互利的方式共同进化的能力，寻求重新调整建筑环境与生活系统。为了支持再生成果，本研究引入了社区自然（再）连接研讨会，作为一种基于地点的方法，通过地点生态吸引社区。根据经验和社会集体学习理论，并受到仿生学的启发，试点工作坊通过参与者的反馈不断完善。工作坊前后调查的定量分析显示，工作坊有可能显著加强参加者与自然的联系感，提高他们继续学习的兴趣，并加深对当地生态的欣赏。讲习班的体验式方法支持生态素养，将其作为基于地点的社区参与、生态知情的再生成果和社区管理能力建设的基础。

期刊介绍： Design Studies is a leading international academic journal focused on developing understanding of design processes. It studies design activity across all domains of application, including engineering and product design, architectural and urban design, computer artefacts and systems design. It therefore provides an interdisciplinary forum for the analysis, development and discussion of fundamental aspects of design activity, from cognition and methodology to values and philosophy. Design Studies publishes work that is concerned with the process of designing, and is relevant to a broad audience of researchers, teachers and practitioners. We welcome original, scientific and scholarly research papers reporting studies concerned with the process of designing in all its many fields, or furthering the development and application of new knowledge relating to design process. Papers should be written to be intelligible and pertinent to a wide range of readership across different design domains. To be relevant for this journal, a paper has to offer something that gives new insight into or knowledge about the design process, or assists new development of the processes of designing.
