Translating Vision into Action : A Design Toolkit for Facilitating Place Visioning Workshops in Placemaking

Tan, Ninghan January 2023 (has links)
This thesis addresses the need for a practical toolkit to facilitate community participation in place visioning workshops, aiding placemakers in driving change in placemaking. By integrating the place visioning pathway into the participatory backcasting framework, the proposed adapted framework for place visioning consists of four activities: (1) Orientation - Define the current challenge of the place, (2) Visioning - Develop a future vision, (3) Backcasting - Propose actions to actualise the vision, and (4) Elaboration - Choose feasible actions to create an action plan. An initial prototype toolkit was developed and tested with placemakers, leading to redesigning of the toolkit to address concerns of complexity, inclusivity, and playfulness. Lastly, the toolkit was iterated into a combination of tools and resources, of which four canvas tools are the main part, along with ideation cards for inspiration, and a handbook for guidance.  This research focused on the convergence of placemaking, visioning, and designerly tools, with the underlying aim of creating resources to support community-based participatory design. The actual implementation of the toolkit in a placemaking case was not realised throughout the process, but the resultant artefact, insights from research, and feedback gathered from its testing could provide a basis for future research of the concept.

Exploring Digital Collaboration : Case study of police - military interorganizational dynamics in Sweden / Undersökning av digitalt samarbete : Fallstudie av polis - militär interorganisatorisk dynamik i Sverige

Brunnberg, André January 2024 (has links)
This thesis addresses the challenge of integrated service deliveries (ISD) and e-government principles in civil-military cooperation, a domain relatively unexplored in existing literature. The research questions delve into the comparative analysis of current and envisioned future communication systems for a Swedish military-police collaboration. This includes identifying and evaluating key development factors to facilitate the imagined future system and potentially shape future paths for the envisioned collaboration. The decision was made to adopt a combined framework of a scenario typology and a participatory backcasting framework while utilizing an explorative abductive research approach. A Delphi study and semi-structured interviews with stakeholders and experts on this phenomenon were used to gather the primary data. The research identifies three distinct future visions from today's communication chain in Sweden. Eight key developmental factors for each vision, from political considerations to technological developments, were also identified. However, the Delphi study analysis in this thesis indicates disagreement among the stakeholders and experts on evaluating the key development factors for the future scenarios, emphasizing the complexity of constructing definitive transition pathways for this phenomenon. This thesis emphasizes, therefore, the urgency for further research to consolidate consensus among stakeholders and experts and formulate concrete pathways for the envisioned scenarios. This thesis also acknowledges the necessity and importance of a digital transition within the Swedish police and military to achieve the Swedish national agenda of constructing effective, robust, and secure digital communication across public agencies. / Denna avhandling tar upp utmaningen med integrerade tjänsteleveranser och e-förvaltningsprinciper i civil-militärt samarbete, en domän som är relativt outforskad i befintlig litteratur. Forskningsfrågorna i detta arbete fördjupar sig i den jämförande analysen av nuvarande och tänkta framtida kommunikationssystem för ett svenskt militär-polissamarbete. Detta inkluderade att identifiera och utvärdera viktiga utvecklingsfaktorer för att underlätta det tänkta framtida systemet och för att kunna potentiellt forma framtida vägar för det tänkta samarbetet. Beslutet togs att anta ett kombinerat ramverk av en scenario typologi och ett deltagande backcasting-ramverk samtidigt som en explorativ abduktiv forskningsmetod användes. En Delphi-studie och semistrukturerade intervjuer tillsammans med intressenter och experter om detta fenomen användes för att samla in primärdata. Forskningen lyckades identifiera tre distinkta framtidsvisioner från dagens kommunikationskedja i Sverige. Åtta viktiga utvecklingsfaktorer för varje vision, från politiska överväganden till teknisk utveckling, identifierades också. Delphi-studien och dess analys i denna avhandling indikerar dock oenighet mellan intressenter och experter om utvärderingen av utvecklings faktorerna för scenarierna, vilket betonar komplexiteten i att konstruera definitiva omställningsvägar för detta fenomen. Denna avhandling betonar därför vikten av ytterligare forskning för att konsolidera samförstånd mellan intressenter och experter och formulera konkreta vägar för de tänkta scenarierna inom ett svenskt militär-polissamarbete. Denna avhandling erkänner också nödvändigheten och betydelsen av en digital omställning inom svensk polis och militär för att uppnå den svenska nationella agendan att bygga effektiv, robust och säker digital kommunikation mellan offentliga myndigheter.
