Location : ENAC Toulouse and UTT Troyes
Summary
This thesis proposes a research project in design methods. Designing a product or service today must take into account the problems of transition towards a more sustainable and fairer world and society. To grasp the multiple dimensions of these transitions, at the level of design methods, we propose in this thesis a systemic and multidisciplinary approach. The aim is to explore a new combination of 1) participatory design methods, to contextualize design, and 2) systemic design methods, to take into account the complexity of the problems to be addressed. We propose that this exploration take shape around an important case study for sustainable mobility, that of multimodal transport, with a particular focus on air and rail transport for medium- and long-distance travel. This case study is particularly relevant to the subject of this thesis (participative systemic design), as it involves taking a passenger-centric problem and considering the problem of multimodal mobility in a multidimensional way. The aim of this thesis is thus to develop an innovative approach to multimodal transport that is both systemic and participatory.
