Social Innovation
The society in the past where materials were closely attached to the people’s life caused social problems that threatened the resources and the environment of the whole world. A gap between the social problem that we face and solutions that we take starts to form. As the social problems which cannot be solved by the capitalism begin to grow, the importance of a social innovation is getting attention so that the idea and design thinking based on social innovation is required. the fifth publication of 2010 Asia Design Journal with the subject of “Social innovation” is planning to define the concept of social innovation in the 21th century through the insights of leaders from various countries, industries and areas of study. It is to seek the relationship between the society, the sustainability, direction and methods of future design for social innovation which may be derived from the relationship. on the special section, we have included free thoughts about the “Social innovation Design” from design related individuals who directly feel the social innovation which are currently underway in the field. as well, we had a chance to understand and share designers’ different perspectives about social innovation through a survey conducted to the people from design major and professionals locally and internationally.
