Abstract

This Case Study paper presents the first exploration of Speculative Design as a participatory democracy method for navigating the future of ageing in Malaysia. Speculative Design in the context of Global South is emerging, but without much data on how it is applied within different socio-economic conditions from the Global North countries. This Case Study considers the challenges and opportunities of employing Speculative Design as policy identification and development method from the context of Malaysia, a Global South country with its own unique characteristics. The paper concludes by suggesting that the novelty of Speculative Design as a policy-design approach in Global South countries, such as in Malaysia, requires the right selection of provocations and culturally familiar content to ease introduction of the methodology. Also, the efficacy of this approach as a participatory design application would require further enculturation within targeted communities, as well as sustained engagement through Champions.

探索将思辨设计作为一种参与式方法在马来西亚进行更具包容性的政策确定和发展

本案例研究论文首次探讨了思辨设计作为一种参与式民主方法，以应对马来西亚未来的老龄化问题。全球南方背景下的思辩设计正在兴起，但没有太多关于如何在全球北方国家不同社会经济条件下应用它的数据。本案例研究从马来西亚这个具有独特特点的全球南方国家的背景下，考虑了采用投机设计作为政策识别和发展方法的挑战和机遇。本文最后提出，在马来西亚等全球南方国家，投机设计作为一种政策设计方法的新颖性需要正确选择挑衅和文化上熟悉的内容，以方便该方法的引入。此外，这种方法作为参与式设计应用程序的有效性需要在目标社区中进一步适应，以及通过冠军的持续参与。

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.
