Sürdürülebilirlik İçin Tasarım: Sürdürülebilirlik Kültürü Oluşturmada Endüstriyel Tasarımın ve Tasarımcıların Rolü

Öz

İnsan faaliyetlerinin çevre üzerindeki olumsuz etkisine ilişkin artan farkındalık, kuruluşların sürdürülebilirliğe proaktif bir yaklaşım benimsemesi ihtiyacını doğurmuştur. Bu yönde atılan önemli bir adım, kuruluşlarda sürdürülebilirlik kültürü oluşturmaktır. Sürdürülebilirlik kültürü, çevresel, sosyal ve ekonomik sürdürülebilirliği destekleyen değerleri, davranışları ve uygulamaları kapsar. Endüstriyel tasarım araştırmacıları, çevreyi büyük ölçüde etkileyen ürün ve sistemler tasarlayıp geliştirirken bu süreçte önemli bir role sahiptir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, sürdürülebilirlik kültürü oluşturma kavramını bir endüstriyel tasarım araştırmacısının bakış açısıyla incelemektir. Araştırma, kuruluşların sürdürülebilirlik kültürü oluşturmak için benimsediği strateji ve uygulamaları ve bu süreçte endüstriyel tasarım araştırmacılarının rolünü keşfetmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Ayrıca araştırma, bu stratejilerin örgütler üzerindeki etkisini ve sonuçlarını incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaca ulaşmak için araştırma, araştırmaya teorik çerçeve sağlayan mevcut literatür taramasına dayandırılacaktır. Literatür taraması, endüstriyel tasarımda sürdürülebilirliğin mevcut durumunu, sürdürülebilirlik kültürünün çeşitli bileşenlerini ve endüstriyel tasarım araştırmacılarının bir sürdürülebilirlik kültürü yaratmada oynadıkları özel rolü araştırdı. Sonuç olarak, bir sürdürülebilirlik kültürü oluşturmak, kuruluşların ve toplulukların çevresel etkilerini azaltmaları ve uzun vadeli sürdürülebilirliklerini geliştirmeleri için elzemdir. Endüstriyel tasarım araştırmacılarının bu süreçte oynayacağı benzersiz bir rol olduğundan, bunların çevre üzerindeki etkilerini göz önünde bulundurmaları ve sürdürülebilir ve kapsayıcı ürünler, sistemler ve süreçler tasarlamaları önemlidir. Çalışma, kuruluşların sürdürülebilirlik kültürü oluşturmak için benimseyebilecekleri strateji ve uygulamaları ve bu süreçte endüstriyel tasarım araştırmacılarının rolünü tartışıyor.

Designing for Sustainability: The Role of Industrial Design and Designers in Creating a Culture of Sustainability

Abstract

Organizations need to adopt a proactive stance toward sustainability due to the growing knowledge that human activity negatively impacts the environment. Developing a sustainable culture within organizations is a crucial step in this approach. A culture of sustainability includes beliefs and actions, and we should adopt practices that promote the concept of sustainability encompasses the economy, society, and environment. Since they develop and produce systems and products that substantially impact the environment, industrial design, and designers have an essential role in this process. This research aims to examine the subject of developing a sustainable culture from the perspective of an industrial design researcher. This research investigates how organizations develop a sustainability culture and how industrial design contributes to this process. The research is constructed on a current literature review that has provided the study's theoretical foundation to accomplish this goal. The literature review explored the present state of sustainability in industrial design, the several components that comprise a culture of sustainability, and the particular part that industrial design and designers have played in promoting this culture. In order to lessen their environmental effect and increase their long-term sustainability, businesses and communities should cultivate a culture of sustainability. Due to their particular position in this process, industrial designers should consider their environmental impact and create sustainable, inclusive products, systems, and processes. The review examines the strategies and practices businesses may employ to develop a sustainable culture and the part industrial design has in it.
