Abstract:

This paper examines the positive impact of synergy between government, designers, and community residents on community resilience and sustainability through current design practice. The project was conducted through a workshop where local government, residents, and designers could connect through a social engagement process. During the workshop process, design activities initiated by the government are connected to the community, designers effectively empower citizens and teach them how to design for the spaces they live in from a user's perspective, and bottom-up design thinking is developed for citizens who have never had a systematic design education. This enables residents to use the design methods they have learned to propose strategies for renewing their spaces when dealing with some of the problems in their community spaces. This approach not only better meets the residents' own needs for the environment but also dramatically improves the efficiency of community space renewal. This paper advocates the impact of community design empowerment in responding to urban development and social change design initiatives. Analyzes how to educate residents about design through workshops to better design interventions in community spaces. Through the concept of integrated resilient design, a new paradigm of micro-renewal of sustainable community public spaces is created, and the future direction of resilient and sustainable community development is considered. At the same time, exploring this educational model provides new ideas for adaptive design in older communities, helping social innovation and providing well-being for community residents.
