Designing a culturally appropriate space begins by recognizing that culture affects us from the moment we are born. It plays a role in how a child grows up, how a person communicates, how a person perceives time, the beliefs and values of a family, as well as the way space is inhabited. These cultural characteristics inform how designers design space. However, what happens when the designer is not from the client’s culture? Knowledge about another culture is often gained by interior designers through client interviews, internet searches, and the occasional book. It is important to add community visits to this list. Cultural understanding is enriched when a person is able to experience the culture through smells, sights, sounds, touch, and taste. These sensory experiences explain answers to questions we, as interior designers, never even knew we had. This project responds to the gap that exists between the designer and the clients’ community. Through an exploration of the Nicaraguan culture and cross-cultural theory this project proposes a design for an art therapy centre that addresses Nicaragua’s culturally-specific needs. By examining trauma and its effects on children, the design can be child-specific while being sensitive to trauma-related symptoms. This will be done through the exploration of areas of knowledge related to sensorimotor theory, art therapy, and mind, body, space theory.

Skinner desde o início se aproveitou dessa relação para desenvolver soluções criativas, que moldaram os rumos da ciência por ele estudada. Skinner também sempre evidenciou a necessidade de que os analistas do comportamento se engajem em questões sociais e culturais, porém, até recentemente, esse foi um campo relativamente negligenciado pela maioria dos pesquisadores da área. Aos que assumem tal desafio, se apresentam discussões no sentido de apontar a necessidade de soluções para os problemas sociais que envolvam tendências tecnológicas e que não se limitem tanto por questões espaciais e temporais. Nesse sentido se inserem as redes sociais. O número de usuários dessas redes é cada vez maior, assim como o tempo que eles passam conectados. O presente estudo busca apresentar o Facebook como uma ferramenta útil para o planejamento cultural, a partir de 1) análises quantitativas do número de curtidas, comentários e compartilhamentos, bem como da forma de apresentação do conteúdo das publicações e 2) análises qualitativas de publicações e comentários observados na página da Prefeitura de Curitiba, pautadas no conceito de contingência de três termos. Através das análises foi possível apontar o uso da rede social como ferramenta que pode colocar os cidadãos em contato com os efeitos coletivos e de longo prazo de seus comportamentos, estabelecer regras e especificar contingências, e possibilitar que os cidadãos participem do debate sobre políticas públicas. Por fim, são apontadas algumas estratégias observadas na página da prefeitura e na literatura que podem ampliar o alcance do planejamento cultural. / The relationship between Behavior Analysis (BA) and technology is not new. From the beginning Skinner took advantage of such relationship to develop creative solutions that shaped the directions of the science he studied. Skinner has also always pointed the need for behavioral analysts to engage in social and cultural issues, but until recently this was a relatively neglected field by most researchers in the area. Those who take on such a challenge are faced with discussions indicating the need for solutions to social problems involving technological trends and that are not so limited by constraints of space and time. In this sense, social networks are introduced. The number of these networks‟ users is increasing, along with time they spend connected. This study seeks to present Facebook as a useful tool for cultural planning, based on 1) quantitative analysis of the number of likes, comments and shares, as well as the form the content was presented in the publications and 2) qualitative analysis of publications and comments observed on Curitiba‟s City hall Facebook page, based on the concept of three-term contingency. Through analysis it was possible to point out the use of the social network as a tool that can put citizens in contact with the collective and long-term effects of their behavior, establish rules and specify contingencies, and enable citizens to participate in the public policies debate. Finally, we point out some strategies observed on the city hall‟s page and in literature that can extend the reach of cultural design. / FAPESP: 2015/12096-8

This thesis sets out to investigate hedonic and cultural web interface design elements present on wine tourism destination websites. The thesis focuses on explaining several cultural frameworks and especially the notion of localization, globalization, culturability, and cultural markers, the high/low context theory as well as tenets of hedonics in user interface design. The aim of the thesis was to develop a better understanding and knowledge about which localized design elements that exist and are important in the cultural context of wine tourism destination websites. Hence, the patterns found can help understand how to create and design websites that are culturally sensitive and globally congruent, thus meeting the needs and behaviors of users across different cultures and backgrounds. A web design analysis was conducted to answer the research questions and results were analyzed qualitatively. The results from the web design analysis indicate several similarities and differences found in web interface design elements between the investigated websites. The results found, indicate that the use of hedonic and cultural web interface design elements present on the interfaces investigated are highly context-dependent. Meaning that the websites are preferably considered being culturally dependent, and to a greater extent reflect and are used to motivate the cultural context examined and regional differences. Hence, the patterns found in web interface design elements are considered to be culturally sensitive to the context of wine destination websites and marketing aims of the websites investigated.  The findings can increase knowledge about hedonic aspects in cross-cultural design and can thus be used to help create culturally congruent and globalized interfaces for this specific context.

Storytelling presented in digital archives can provide indigenous communities with a voice needed to tell stories and thus enhance the society’s understanding for that community. The objective was to evaluate a digital archive prototype from a perspective of rendering Sami stories and storytelling. This was done by collecting data with the method Research through Design where a prototype was designed and demonstrated in two steps to the indigenous people of Scandinavia known as the Sami people. The findings suggest that the prototype can render Sami storytelling to some extent but that digital archives, in regard to indigenous cultures, must be designed with sensitive ethicalities in mind. These digital archives must also be designed so that immersive stories can be rendered whilst also providing the indigenous people the right to be prosumers in order to provide them the empowerment to own their own culture. These issues and future research are discussed in the paper.

Städer är en plats där många individer lever tillsammans och det urbana offentliga rummet utgör en viktig plats där en rad olika utmaningar så som segregation påverkar hur individer möts. Halmstad kommun har tagit fasta på en kreativ och kulturell gestaltning när de ska förnya stadens kärna, Nissan. Målet är att sammanföra befolkning från båda sidorna av Nissan, istället för att vattnet ska vara en skiljande barriär. Detta ska de göra genom Kulturstråk, en slinga på åtta kilometer. Syftet med vår studie handlar om att undersöka hur medborgarna och projektledningen har upplevt sitt deltagande och inflytande över Kulturstråk Nissan samt hur projektet kan bidra till social sammanhållning och social hållbarhet för invånarna i Halmstad. I den teoretiska begreppsramen har vi använt oss av Jönhills (2012) begrepp exklusion/inklusion, Floridas (2006) teori om den kreativa klassen och Mitchells (2003) begrepp representation ur rätten till staden. Studien har tagit sin utgångspunkt i hermeneutiken med kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med 10 intervjupersoner. Resultatet visar att alla invånare inte varit inkluderade men att de som deltagit känt sig inkluderade. / Cities are a place where many individuals live together and the urban public space is an important place where a variety of challenges such as segregation affect how individuals meet. The municipality of Halmstad has established a creative and cultural approach when renewing the city's core, which they mean is at Nissan. Their goal is to bring together the people from both sides of Nissan, instead of the water being a separating barrier. They will make this through a cultural passage, an area of eight kilometers. The purpose of our study is to investigate how the citizens and project management have experienced their participation and influence over Kulturstråk Nissan and how the project can contribute to social cohesion and social sustainability for the inhabitants of Halmstad. In the theoretical conceptual framework, we have used Jönhills (2012) concept exclusion / inclusion, Floridas (2006) theory of the creative class and Mitchell's (2003) concept representation in the theory of the right to the city. The study has taken its starting point in hermeneutics with qualitative semistructured interviews. The result shows that all residents were not included but that those who participated felt included.
