This incremental continuum gives rise to a reflection on the current crisis of temporal dispersion.Creativity can be continuously stimulated through life-long learning. When exploring societal active methodologies within teaching and learning processes, Design is an interdisciplinary subject aided by: Artificial Intelligence in rethinking the positioning that humans conquered as conscious beings, but which underestimates nature and fails to recognize its dependency on other species; User-centered Psychotherapy and Spatial Interaction towards strategies for emotions and mind impulses which correspond to societal behaviors; Social Sciences in the context of Landscapes and Territorial Dynamics; Bionics and Mimetics reformulating technology through Nature as a model; Human Factors Engineering in the investigation of the cognitive system in the adequacy of physical and digital agents. It is projected consolidate the design of the procedural spiral in the design orientation of a methodology for the Design that leads the memory in anticipation to the retroactive effect of the knowledge that will operationalize responsible creative contents, aiming at the expansion of a remembrance against the forgetfulness of the human being to care Mother Earth.The intention to develop and validate this societal active methodology started from a model (4Xself) elaborated in the context of the PhD that, with the guidance of the respective Practical Assignments Guide, intends to guide a Symbiosis Proto-Methodology. This model was applied in 2019/20 and 2020/21 with students, and preliminary conclusions have already been reached in the scope of SPIRAL project. This project aligns with the 4th SDG on education, specifically target goal 4.7, as we aim to contribute to the SDGs defined by the UN in a transversal way with the methodology. We aspire to achieve acceptance of concepts and practices that integrate the research questions: How to create and implement a Symbiosis methodology that promotes interdisciplinary, sustainable, and ethically committed design processes? How can this methodology consolidate its meaning as a catalyst and aggregator system for acting in the Design process, guaranteeing the benefit of the agents involved?The expected outcomes of this project result from exploring different media channels to disseminate and implement Symbiosis’s proto-methodology whose expertise promote the crossing of knowledge in the respective areas and interactive practices in education, training in companies, in entrepreneurship and professionalization, ensuring the following principles: be transversal to the values and mission of the methodology for a more qualitative strategy in teaching; supporting a transition to information glocalization; reflect on Education as a learning channel for all; encourage a shared responsibility among everyone involved in the design process guaranteeing co","PeriodicalId":308830,"journal":{"name":"Human Dynamics and Design for the Development of Contemporary Societies","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124319493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Forman","doi":"10.54941/ahfe1003528","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.54941/ahfe1003528","url":null,"abstract":"The Selection of Materials is a field containing a group of criteria necessary to choose materials applied to the Design project. Several criteria were associated with this selection process, and just some of them were considered for the study (such as aesthetic properties related to colour and texture; intangible requirements like emotions, perceptions, and stimulus; and some specific biological properties connected to biomaterials in the textile context). The study aims to understand the visual colour stimulus of biomaterials from the perspective of the Synaesthetic Design phenomenon. The designer has a pertinent role in understanding the mechanism around social desires (environmental protection, impact of materials, transparency, traceability, and attractive products). Biomaterials are produced from various sources of feedstocks such as residues, wastes, and sub-products of raw materials. In these cases, the transformation of the materials is crucial to becoming valid on the market and desirable to the consumer. Thus, how can the designer create value opportunities using these materials? The literature review is a methodology integrated into this study through the addition of interdisciplinary areas that seek to generate systematic and holistic based reflections. The designer needs guidance on biomaterials and their visual interpretations, which are linked to emotions or sensorial desires of human behaviour and feelings to create empathy with them - specific materials based on descriptive criteria connected to the Selection of Materials field. Therefore, the study hopes to facilitate the growth of biomaterial application by offerings insight about these concepts and consideration on eventual opportunities for creating experiences and innovative products based on a thoughtful and informed selection, contributing to a deeper understanding of biomaterial and these properties within textiles, towards a Circular Bioeconomy view.","PeriodicalId":308830,"journal":{"name":"Human Dynamics and Design for the Development of Contemporary Societies","volume":"B1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126841985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Creative Nature Hub","authors":"Ângela Ferreira, Ana Margarida Ferreira","doi":"10.54941/ahfe1003532","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.54941/ahfe1003532","url":null,"abstract":"OECD (2021) emphasizes rural places' critical role in driving sustainable, inclusive growth. It also reinforces the need to strengthen place-based and place-led opportunities and resilience to go against global challenges and ongoing societal transformations, such as digitalization, climate change, ageing, migration, and population decline. This reality presents significant challenges but also opportunities. According to some authors, rural communities have a critical role in tackling issues such as sustainable food supply chain development. The unique potential of rural areas to address these challenges and drive sustainable growth and people's well-being and happiness is also recognized.On the other hand, boosting community-based innovations and organizations is crucial to unlocking local opportunities, attracting investment, delivering improved essential products and services, and boosting growth and inclusive, sustainable development towards regenerative economies. In this line of thought and within the framework of the European Project Creation (Ferreira et al., 2020), this paper presents the main outputs of a research work that envisioned a new and sustainable creative hub business model. The regenerative economy understanding and the social innovation and sustainability background in Portugal's forest and rural setting are underlined. The design of the Creative Nature Hub's (CNH) business model, a cultural and creative non-profit association, was supported by the analysis of three case studies of European organizations in the cultural and creative industries acting in rich cultural and human environments with similar sustainable goals. These hubs focus on social innovation, exploring collaborative processes, social learning, networking, and partnerships as strategic drivers for sustainable development. Applied research practices and people and nature-centric approaches allow new social interactions, respecting old cultural practices and ecosystems' dynamic balances. Technology democratization and literacy facilitated generational knowledge transfer and value co-creation in the contemporary digital paradigm. In line with the stress by (British Council, 2015), creative hubs have numerous advantages for those who participate in their functioning and the community. These hubs provide short- and long-term support in the form of products and services, facilitating communication within the community, creating a network and a wider audience, promoting the emergence of talent and creative thinking, or nurturing inclusive development. As the output of the design-driven research activity, a modular and evolutive CNH business model emerged. It allows the transformation and adaptation of the organization over time, highlighting circular design, green technologies, and sustainability to respect natural environment patterns of change and promote territory restoration while nurturing community well-being.","PeriodicalId":308830,"journal":{"name":"Human Dynamics and Design for the Development of Contemporary Societies","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129782666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This strategy, in addition to contributing to the dynamization of the productive activities involved, will make it possible to trigger new partnerships, which may be an opportunity to develop and share resources, processes, knowledge and innovation among the intervening parties.The territory of the North of Portugal is mainly characterized by small and medium-sized companies and, according to data from the National Institute of Statistics, in the study carried out in 2008 on the structures of Portuguese companies, “there were 349,756 micro, small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) in Portugal\", taking into account that the North region had 113,747 companies, influencing the region's turnover by 69.5%.With this study, the authors intend to demonstrate that in the North of Portugal, the implementation of a design-oriented territorial network strategy can be crucial to achieving territorial sustainability (Costa, F.; Soares, L.; Aparo, E., 2022) to define the evolution of the local economy. In this sense, it is intended to implement a business network system of contacts, through the business characterization of the territory under study, in this case, the North of Portugal, which promote innovation, design-driven innovation (Verganti, 2020), and are also a way of generating dynamism in productive activities, fostering sustainability and even their success or even survival. Based on localized excellence, a project built on a network can activate collaboration processes, boosting the productive capacity of each company, improving the offer and making processes and resources profitable.","PeriodicalId":308830,"journal":{"name":"Human Dynamics and Design for the Development of Contemporary Societies","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117173356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since emotions are processed at memory level, they can enable the generation of new meanings established by each user, motivating feelings of belonging, in addition to promoting greater durability in the relationship established between user/object, which may lead to positive attitudes at the level of product life cycle. Over the last few decades, there has been a paradigm shift in terms of design processes and methods, which has brought with it greater flexibility in the incorporation of concepts, promoting interaction and empathy with human beings, valuing a more cognitive and humanistic design approach. In this paper we present an investigation that fits into the disciplinary territory of Design, in which we intend to give emotion a central role in design decision-making. It uses a mixed methodology centred on literature review and practical experience in teaching design project. It is intended to stimulate reflection and bring new perspectives on the addressed object of study that may lead to a position taking the emotional component as a fundamental advantage key strategy in design decision making, contributing to a more sustained vision of the professionals but also the students, in the development of projects in design.","PeriodicalId":308830,"journal":{"name":"Human Dynamics and Design for the Development of Contemporary Societies","volume":"219 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123755188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Benefit of inconvenience is the enhanced user value that is brought about by adding extra effort (and time) to daily activities that aim to achieve certain objectives. The concept identifies its notability in design research and practice due to its perspective that places a user as a constituent factor of a holistic design system for solving a problem rather than regarding the user merely as a recipient of the solution. Subsequently, a possible integration of the benefit of inconvenience, KJ Method and Kansei Engineering (the methodologies that leverage kansei and intellect for structuring meanings of the world and translating the structured meanings into physical specification) that together forms Kansei Design (one of the possible accomplishment forms of design management) is illustrated.","PeriodicalId":308830,"journal":{"name":"Human Dynamics and Design for the Development of Contemporary Societies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124413008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address it, institutions in Leiria such as the City Hall and Polytechnic of Leiria decided to conduct a longitudinal and prospective cohort study, where a sample of the population will be followed throughout time to understand if their choices regarding health and sustainable habits are indeed affected by their health literacy levels.This project will contribute to the initial stage of this cohort study, by developing a recognizable brand, whose identity can be maintained throughout all its communication and dissemination media, so that the population can identify, without equivocation, the cohort study to which it refers, and awaken their curiosity to participate. This stage also includes the presentation and dissemination of the cohort study itself to the population under study, followed by a randomized inquiry done by pre-selected interviewers.This project relies on Service Design and Participatory Design methodologies to streamline the development of the study’s elements and to solve common cohort issues, such as: 1) gathering a suitable number of participants that can represent the population; 2) follow-up maintenance of participants; 3) keeping the interviewers and participants engaged with the study, after the first contact. Informal interviews and user group definition will help the comprehension of the study and allow to create personas to characterize the interviewers of the cohort study. These aforementioned methodologies will be supported by the workshop methodology under Participatory Design, acting as a testing ground for the previously developed processes, preparing interviewers to adapt their communication when facing people from different generations, education, and social backgrounds.By carrying out this project simultaneously with the cohort study, it’s possible to evaluate, over time, how the design methodologies can empower and facilitate communication and intervene, changing tactics in case it’s needed. The creation of a replicable experience is proposed allowing the betterment of the overall health of the population. Additionally, assuming the lack of information on how the preparatory phases of cohort studies are designed, it’s also envisaged the creation of guidelines and a good practice manual. It is also of great importance to point out the bridge established between the health and design fields, where design becomes the interface between science and the public.","PeriodicalId":308830,"journal":{"name":"Human Dynamics and Design for the Development of Contemporary Societies","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114468031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Constant monitoring is one technique to get around this problem. Wearables are a suitable alternative, but they must deliver a positive user experience; hence, they must consider “material” and functional factors. Human-Centred Design (HCD) is an effective method to achieve that because it focuses on users’ needs. However, HCD is concerned with the potential problem space but overlooks some essential features of technological use. Speculative design is a method for investigating potential design outcomes and possibilities that may arise in the future (i.e., problems concerning privacy). In this sense, the paper argues that speculative design can extend HCD to create wearables for epilepsy patients who require constant monitoring.Keywords: Epilepsy, Human-Centered Design, Privacy, Speculative Design, User Experience, Wearables","PeriodicalId":308830,"journal":{"name":"Human Dynamics and Design for the Development of Contemporary Societies","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121661757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
