Visual systems mapping workshops in WP3 Systemic Design
Ayse Kaplan Sarisaltik has conducted two workshops at the conferences Relating Systems Thinking and Design (RSD12), and the 5th PLATE Conference.
RSD12: Kaplan Sarısaltık, A. (2023). Unlocking Possibilities: Rethinking Plastic Hygiene Products through Systemic Design and Social Practice Theory.
PLATE: Kaplan Sarısaltık, A. (2023). Reducing Plastic Consumption in Daily Life Practices by Applying Systemic Design Approach.
The workshops employed semi-structured interviews combined with system map creation to explore the topic. Participants from diverse backgrounds, including consumers, business representatives, researchers, and association members, were involved to provide a range of perspectives. The research focused on plastic consumption in the contexts of menstruation hygiene and leisure activities such as hiking. To capture detailed insights, video and voice recordings were used during the interviews.
