This study explores the characteristics of and changes in Korean landscape architects’ attitudes toward ecological design strategies and theories over the last three decades. Methodologically, this study includes a literature review and incorporates data from case studies and site visits. It discusses Seoul-specific contexts regarding environmental conditions, urban morphology, administrative agency, and design theory and practice. It redefines ecological parks, expanding their scope using physical and non-physical ecological processes. Considering this redefinition, this study categorizes the five main attitudes of contemporary Korean landscape architects towards ecological design: providing wildlife habitat, constructing aesthetic experiences, the phasing strategy, developing environmental learning programs, and designers’ metaphoric expression. Through these attitudes, this study chronologically explores gradual and constant changes in design strategies and the discourse on ecological design. Specifically, in the 1990s, landscape architects emphasized the representation of ecosystems by constructing wildlife habitats. In the early 2000s, ecological parks were artistically designed as urban parks by reusing post-industrial landscapes. Around the 2010s, landscape architects developed resilient and adaptive design strategies to flexibly respond to uncertain changes in natural and urban ecological circumstances. Since the 2010s, landscape architects have continually expanded the scope of ecology to cover physical, non-physical, urban, and social infrastructures, including public transportation, as well as political, social, and cultural structures and virtual and augmented landscapes. This study can contribute to the field literature while adding a valuable overview of the understudied Korean context.

Real World Problems

It is now an accepted maxim in design theory and practice that real-world problems needing the attention of design practitioners are not neat and well-structured, but ill-structured and “wicked”—part of a larger, complex social situation. For design education, then, to take its lead from contemporary social, political and economic structures, it will have to seriously re-think its problem-solving paradigms. The authors investigate the use of self-generating learning narratives in the classroom and contrast the approach they introduce with the still-too-prevalent notion that knowledge can be transferred from teacher to student. Their methodology draws from ideas formulated by Maturana and Varela on autopoiesis, specifically the notion of co-ontogenic drift.

Purpose Dyadic services research has increasingly focused on helping providers facilitate transformative service conversations with consumers. Extant research has thoroughly documented the conversational skills that providers can use to facilitate consumer microtransformations (i.e. small changes in consumers’ thoughts, feelings and action plans toward their well-being goals). At the same time, extant research has largely neglected the role of servicescape design in transformative service conversations despite some evidence of its potential significance. To redress this oversight, this article aims to examine how servicescape design can be used to better facilitate consumer microtransformations in dyadic service conversations. Design/methodology/approach This article is based on an interpretive study of mental health services (i.e. counseling, psychotherapy and coaching). Both providers and consumers were interviewed about their lived experiences of service encounters. Informants frequently described the spatial and temporal dimensions of their service encounters as crucial to their experiences of service encounters. These data are interpreted through the lens of servicescape design theory, which disentangles servicescape design effects into dimensions, strategies, tactics, experiences and outcomes. Findings The data reveal two servicescape design strategies that help facilitate consumer microtransformations. “Service sequestration” is a suite of spatial design tactics (e.g., private offices) that creates strong consumer protections for emotional risk-taking. “Service serialization” is a suite of temporal design tactics (e.g., recurring appointments) that creates predictable rhythms for emotional risk-taking. The effects of service sequestration and service serialization on consumer microtransformations are mediated by psychological safety and psychological readiness, respectively. Practical implications The article details concrete servicescape design tactics that providers can use to improve consumer experiences and outcomes in dyadic service contexts. These tactics can help promote consumer microtransformations in the short run and consumer well-being in the long run. Originality/value This article develops a conceptual model of servicescape design strategies for transformative service conversations. This model explains how and why servicescape design can influence consumer microtransformations. The article also begins to transfer servicescape design tactics from mental health services to other dyadic services that seek to facilitate consumer microtransformations. Examples of such services include career counseling, divorce law, financial advising, geriatric social work, nutrition counseling, personal styling and professional organizing.

ResumenEl objeto del estudio analiza las implicaciones de la liberización del transporte público en el desarrollo de las nuevas centralidades urbanas de la capital del Perú. Centralidades que emergieron en aquella ciudad popular autoconstruida, en donde la red de transporte público, basada en las denominadas “combis”, fue determinante en su evolución. De esta manera se reconsidera el trascendente significado de la relación recíproca entre la movilidad y la estructuración urbana. Vinculando el proceso de crecimiento urbano disperso, la estructuración vial, los conglomerados productivos, y las características de la movilidad en el tiempo; y de como estos, han contribuido a configurar la morfología y dinámica urbana de la ciudad, entendiendo desde este enfoque, el modelo urbano en Lima entre finales del siglo XX y principios del siglo XXI. La investigación utiliza un método principalmente cuantitativo para demostrar la relación entre movilidad y estructuración urbana, y de cómo esta proporción está relacionada con la concentración económica. Para ello se ha desarrollado un modelo de conectividad y accesibilidad hacia y desde las centralidades estudiadas. De esta manera el componente movilidad–transporte se toma como condicionante en los procesos urbanos y territoriales, que en contraste a las centralidades asociadas a nodos de autopistas de suburbios de sociedades altamente motorizadas, en Lima, es el sistema de transporte público-“combis” es quien refuerza dichas centralidades. Palabras clave  Movilidad en Latinoamérica, Liberalización del Transporte Público - “combi”, Centralidad Interdistrital, Ciudad Popular, Dispersión Urbana AbstractThe objective of the study analyzes the implications of the liberalization of public transport in the development of the new urban centralities of the capital of Peru. Centralities that emerged in that self-built popular city, where the public transport network, based on the so-called "combis", was determinant in its evolution. In this way the transcendent meaning of the reciprocal relationship between mobility and urban structuring is reconsidered. Linking the process of dispersed urban growth, road structuring, productive conglomerates, and the characteristics of mobility over time; and how these have contributed to shape the urban morphology and dynamics of the city, understanding from this approach the urban model in Lima between the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century. The research uses a mainly quantitative method to demonstrate the relationship between mobility and urban structuring, and how this proportion is related to economic concentration. For this, a model of connectivity and accessibility has been developed to and from the centralities studied. In this way the mobility-transport component is taken as a conditioner in the urban and territorial processes, that in contrast to the centralities associated to suburban motorway nodes of highly motorized societies, in Lima, is the system of public transportation "combis" Is who reinforces these centralities.

While design theories in visual displays have been well developed and further refined, relatively little research has been conducted on design theories and models in auditory displays. The existing discussions mainly account for functional mappings between sounds and referents, but these do not fully address design aspects of auditory displays. To bridge the gap, the present proposal focuses on design affordances in sound design among many design constructs. To this end, the definition and components of design affordances are briefly explored, followed by the auditory display examples of those components to gauge whether sound can deliver perceived affordances in interactive products. Finally, other design constructs, such as feedback and signifier, are discussed together with future work. This exploratory proposal is expected to contribute to elaborating sound design theory and practice.

Urban public transportation contributes greatly to sustainable urban development. An urban public transportation network is a complex system. It is meaningful for theory and practice to analyze the topological structure of an urban public transportation network and explore the spatial structure of an urban transportation network so as to mitigate and prevent traffic congestion and achieve sustainability. By examining the Xi’an bus network, the degree distribution, average path length, aggregation coefficient, and betweenness centrality of the bus station network were computed using models in complex network theory. The results show that the node degrees of the Xi’an bus network are unevenly distributed and present a polarization diagram with long average path length and high aggregation. A model based on betweenness and its solution method was developed to improve the public transportation network’s sustainability and discuss the possibility of optimizing the sustainability by network analyzing methods.
