A Living Lab is a new way to deal with community-driven innovation in real-life contexts. The Living Lab concept is fuelled by knowledge sharing, collaboration and experimenting in open real environments. This research explores the sustainable development of community Living Labs within a South African context. The members of rural communities need sustainable development support in order to create jobs and alleviate poverty. In order to do so they need an open multidisciplinary research and systems thinking support environment which is facilitated in the Living Lab environment. The Living Lab approach provides its user group with an opportunity to develop a much deeper understanding of how the various components in their functional environment operate and interrelate. In the research community the Living Lab concept seems to be gaining increasing acceptance as a way to deal with innovation and to get insight into the innovation process. Several Living Labs are currently connected in a network of Living Labs, both in Europe and in South Africa aiming to share best practices and lessons learned. Creating an innovative software based management model for Living Labs for the greater South African region is also part of the research objectives. This paper presents two interrelated frameworks for the establishment of a Living Lab within a South African context. The paper also highlights the important role of holistic Systems thinking in a Living Lab environment.

Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi asimilasi budaya dan pergeseran nilai tradisi dhundunan yang biasa dilaksanakan pada masyarakat muslim Jawa yang hidup di Karangjompo, Tirto, Pekalongan. Untuk sampai pada tujuan penelitian tersebut, observasi dan wawancara mendalam dilakukan terhadap beberapa informan kunci. Dalam penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa terdapat asimilasi budaya Islam dan Jawa dimana doa-doa yang dilakukan dalam upacara tersebut dilakukan secara Islami seperti permohonan keselamatan kepada Allah Swt. dengan wasilah pembacaan shalawat barzanji. Namun seiring dengan waktu makna-makna yang terdapat dalam simbol-simbol uborampe dalam upacara tersebut telah banyak dilupakan oleh mereka, bahkan mereka pun dalam melaksanakan upacara tersebut hanya sekedar formalitas dengan tanpa dimaknai secara mendalam, dimana nilai-nilai magis sudah tidak dirasakan. This research explores the assimilation of Islamic culture in Javanese culture in dhundhunan ceremony that is performed in Javanese moslem community living in Karangjompo, Tirto, Pekalongan, Central Java and the value changes in that ceremony. To achieve the aim of this research, observation and interview were done. It was found that there were some assimilations and value changes in that ceremony, i.e. prayers that were performed in that ceremony adopted Islamic culture like asking God for safety by reciting shalawat barzanji. Meaning of the symbols uborampe in that ceremony has been forgotten by them. They perform that ceremony only formally without caring about the meaning and feeling the magic values.
