<div>As part of an increasing interest in a "Turn to Practice," HCI scholars have investigated the felt design complexities and ethical concerns in everyday technology practice, calling for practice-led research approaches. Given the ethical nature of technology design work, practitioners have to often negotiate and mediate their personal values, disciplinary notions of ethics, organizational policies and values, and societal impact of their design work. To tease apart and describe practitioner accounts of ethical aspects of their design work, I used three different approaches to investigate what practitioners from different professional roles communicate about and participate in (potentially) strengthening their ethical engagement in their everyday design work within and across role boundaries: survey, design of co-creation activities, and deployment/pilot of these co-creation activities. </div><div><br></div><div>In the survey study, I identify and describe the differences in disciplinary values, responsibilities, commitments, and alignment in relation to ethics and social responsibility through captured data from 256 technology and design practitioners from a range of professional roles.</div><div><br></div><div>As a part of the design phase of co-creation activities, I design, iterate, and prototype three co-creation activities (A: Tracing the Complexity; B: Dilemma Postcards; and C: Method Heuristics) and sequences of these activities to engage a range of different professional roles to communicate about their ethical action and (potentially) strengthen their ethical engagement in everyday design work. I define design vocabulary/Schemas: 1) <i>A.E.I.O.YOU model</i> to investigate the landscape of ethics in practice and 2) <i>Classifiers</i> to codify the activities and potential variants.</div><div><br></div><div>As a part of the deployment phase of these designed co-creation activities, I piloted four sequences of these activities with twelve practitioners with three different professional roles per sequence, engaging in approx. 23 hours of facilitation, artifact creation, and conversation. I present the results of deployment of the co-creation sessions where practitioners articulated that the co-creation activities helped <i>expand</i> their ethical horizons through self-awareness, <i>learn</i> new approaches to ethics vocabulary, <i>become (re-)aware </i>of their current practice, and <i>imagine</i> trajectories of change in their practice. Practitioners also identified a preliminary set of ethics-related practices that could be better supported such as tools for performance, leadership support, ethics education, and resources for ethical decision making. </div><div><br></div><div>Based on the results from these three approaches, I propose contributions to HCI and design audiences. For HCI researchers, practitioners, and educators, the survey results describe differences in professional notions and valence of ethics, framing the need for translation and transdisciplinary approach to ethics in a practice context. For design researchers, the designing of the co-creation activities is a methodological contribution where I propose and illustrate opportunities for creating novel ways to engage practitioners in co-creation work as a means of communicating their felt ethical concerns and practices. For co-creation researchers and professional ethicists, the engagement of practitioners in the co-creation reveal: 1) complexities to facilitate different disciplinary roles and design a space for ``representing'' a range of practitioners; and 2) gaps and potential synergies in supporting practitioners through practice-resonant ethics-focused methods. </div>

Considerando o trabalho de Mário de Andrade na criação do texto O Turista Aprendiz, que é ao mesmo tempo poético e referencial, abordamos o diário de viagem como um gênero híbrido que explora as fronteiras do real com o ficcional e propomos experimentar uma produção de documentário que leve em conta as possibilidades de intervenção criativa sobre o objeto documentado. Por sua vez, o objeto-personagem escolhido, Manoel de Coco e sua história, contribui criativamente para a construção da narrativa, dado o caráter inventivo e lúdico de sua fala, que nos provocou. E a própria busca por nosso personagem torna-se também um meio de experimentação. / Based on Mario de Andrade\'s creation of the text \"O Turista Aprendiz\", whish is at the same time poetic and referential, our approach to the travel journal sees it as a hybrid genre, one which explores the boundaries between the real and the fictional, and we propose to experiment a documentary production that takes into account possibilities to intervene creatively in the documented subject-matter. On the other hand, Manoel de Coco and his history, contributed greatly to the construction of the narrative, given the inventive and ludic features of his speech, which provoked us. It is the very search for our character that becomes the means to experimentation.

[pt] MultipliCidades Cariocas: termo que sintetiza e evidencia a vasta e diversificada paisagem urbana, cultural e social da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. O espírito carioca promove a ideia de integração e convivência, onde a mistura é vista como uma fonte de vitalidade e riqueza para a cidade. Essa essência, que abraça e celebra suas Múltiplas Cidades, torna o Rio uma Lugar verdadeiramente único e cativante. O trabalho teve como tema central o impacto dos Espaços Públicos Urbanos de Convívio – EPUCs do Rio no bem-estar e na qualidade de vida dos cidadãos com a proposta de incentivar o entendimento sobre sua importância. Foi abordada a necessidade de considerarmos o Espaço Urbano também como um território de intervenção do Design, bem como a relevância de revisitarmos projetos periodicamente. O embasamento teórico se aprofundou na forma como os agentes envolvidos em projetos urbanos concebem a cidade para além do ato de projetar, identificando lacunas entre teoria e prática. A contribuição do Design Participativo nesse processo foi apresentada, enfatizando a importância da transdisciplinaridade para compreendermos sistemas complexos como cidades e sociedades. O trabalho abordou a dificuldade na concepção e implementação desses espaços, destacando a importância do envolvimento da comunidade desde as fases iniciais do processo de projetos. O desenvolvimento e a avaliação de estratégias eficazes para a implementação de metodologias participativas nas fases iniciais de projetos, visando a criação de soluções que reflitam de maneira autêntica as demandas das comunidades locais, foi o ponto principal de investigação. Mas como viabilizar a participação popular efetiva nas decisões relacionadas aos EPUCs? As metodologias de pesquisa participativas referentes à Ergonomia no Ambiente Construído – EAC são ferramentas com grande potencial para orientar positivamente as fases iniciais de diagnóstico de projetos, com foco no cidadão e sustentáveis, ou seja, que se sustentem a longo prazo. A partir de uma metodologia mista, foram realizadas Oficinas de Cocriação com dois grupos distintos. As oficinas com usuários tiveram como ferramenta de análise principal o Diagrama do Lugar, enquanto as oficinas com especialistas os Cartões de Previsão. Estas ferramentas foram selecionadas, adaptadas e aplicadas com a intenção de promover a colaboração e inovação na busca por soluções eficazes. Essa abordagem colaborativa visou promover a troca de ideias entre diferentes perspectivas, enriquecendo a qualidade dos dados coletados e proporcionando uma compreensão mais holística das questões urbanas em estudo. A pesquisa conseguiu atingir seu objetivo demonstrando que através de dinâmicas cocriativas e de metodologias participativas em contextos de pequena escala, podemos engajar a comunidade e obter dados que contribuam na compreensão dos desafios existentes e que orientem antigos e novos projetos locais. Os dados coletados foram comparados e analisados para identificar padrões e novas ideias que pudessem validar a hipótese da pesquisa de que se aplicarmos metodologias participativas em comunidades locais, poderemos articular saberes que contribuam para as fases de diagnóstico urbano e orientar ações de projeto mais eficazes. Os resultados também ratificaram o problema de pesquisa quanto ao desafio em implementar metodologias participativas nas fases preliminares de projetos de EPUCs que viabilizem soluções pautadas nos desejos e demandas de suas comunidades locais. O trabalho ofereceu uma contribuição metodológica importante, destacando as vantagens da combinação de métodos quantitativos e qualitativos para compreender ambientes complexos. Além disso, sugeriu formas de aprimorar a metodologia, como a integração de especialistas e usuários em atividades colaborativas. Reconhece-se que as cidades são compostas por uma variedade de perfis socioeconômicos, culturais e geográficos, e que é necessário adotar uma abordagem flexível e adaptável para atender às necessidades de todos os cidadãos. Acredito que espaços públicos devem ser inclusivos, acessíveis e capazes de refletir e atender às necessidades variadas de uma população diversificada. Percebo a Cidade do Rio de Janeiro como um organismo vivo em constante evolução, composto por Múltiplas Cidades que se conectam e formam essa Cidade Múltipla, vibrante e inspiradora. / [en] Cariocas MultipliCities: a term that synthesizes and highlights the vast and diversified urban, cultural, and social landscape of the city of Rio de Janeiro. The Carioca spirit promotes the idea of integration and coexistence, where mixing is seen as a source of vitality and richness for the city. This essence, which embraces and celebrates its Multiple Cities, makes Rio a truly unique and captivating place. The central theme of the work was the impact of Rio s Urban Public Spaces of Coexistence – UPSCs on citizens well-being and quality of life, with the proposal to encourage understanding of their importance. The need to consider Urban Space as a territory for Design intervention was addressed, as well as the relevance of periodically revisiting projects. The theoretical framework delved into how the agents involved in urban projects conceive the city beyond the act of designing, identifying gaps between theory and practice. The contribution of Participatory Design in this process was presented, emphasizing the importance of transdisciplinarity in understanding complex systems such as cities and societies. The work addressed the difficulty in conceiving and implementing these spaces, highlighting the importance of community involvement from the initial stages of the design process. The development and evaluation of effective strategies for the implementation of participatory methodologies in the initial stages of projects, aiming at creating solutions that authentically reflect the demands of local communities, was the main point of investigation. But how to enable effective popular participation in decisions related to UPSCs? Participatory research methodologies related to Ergonomics in the Built Environment – EAC are tools with great potential to positively guide the initial diagnosis phases of projects, focusing on citizen and sustainable perspectives, that is, solutions that are sustainable in the long term. Through a mixed methodology, Co-creation Workshops were conducted with two distinct groups. The workshops with users used the Place Diagram as the main analysis tool, while the workshops with specialists used Envisioning Cards. These tools were selected, adapted, and applied with the intention of promoting collaboration and innovation in the search for effective solutions. This collaborative approach aimed to promote the exchange of ideas among different perspectives, enriching the quality of the collected data and providing a more holistic understanding of the urban issues under study. The research achieved its objective by demonstrating that through co-creative dynamics and participatory methodologies in small-scale contexts, we can engage the community and obtain data that contribute to understanding existing challenges and guiding old and new local projects. The collected data were compared and analyzed to identify patterns and new ideas that could validate the research hypothesis that if we apply participatory methodologies in local communities, we can articulate knowledge that contributes to urban diagnosis phases and guide more effective project actions. The results also confirmed the research problem regarding the challenge of implementing participatory methodologies in the preliminary stages of UPSC projects that enable solutions based on the desires and demands of their local communities. The work offered an important methodological contribution, highlighting the advantages of combining quantitative and qualitative methods to understand complex environments. Additionally, it suggested ways to improve the methodology, such as integrating specialists and users into collaborative activities. It is recognized that cities are composed of a variety of socioeconomic, cultural, and geographical profiles, and that a flexible and adaptable approach is necessary to meet the needs of all citizens. I believe that public spaces should be inclusive, accessible, and able to reflect and meet the varied needs of a diversified population. I perceive the City of Rio de Janeiro as a living organism in constant evolution, composed of Multiple Cities that connect and form this vibrant and inspiring a City that is Multiple.
