Ecosystem to support autopoietic local economies

Chiara Battistoni and Silvia Barbero

Politecnico di Torino

To meet the current challenges to fight global and interconnected problems as waste production, systemic thinking is needed to provide a new cultural paradigm to create sustainable, circular and blue economies. One action can be done spotlighting the local territory in which we are living every day enhancing cultural and natural resources, indeed, considering it as a place where the products are manufactured, travel everywhere and leave only waste. Systemic design can provide an answer to creating eco-innovation and environmental, social and economic sustainability, especially at the local level. A multiple case study analysis on previous projects on systemic design has been conducted to understand the principal barriers in their implementation and their outcomes to reach sustainable territorial development. After the identification of the new opportunities created at the entrepreneurial level, finally, it is designing the entrepreneurial ecosystem of innovation to foster systemic sustainable projects framed in a specific context of reference.

Keywords: systemic design, ecosystem, manufacturing sector, eco-innovation, sustainable local development.

Publishing with RSD

Proceedings of Relating Systems Thinking and Design are published online and include the contributions for each format.

Papers and presentations are entered into a single-blind peer-review process, meaning reviewers see the authors’ names but not vice versa. Reviewers consider the quality of the proposed contribution and whether it addresses topics of interest or raises relevant issues in systemic design. The review process provides feedback and possible suggestions for modifications.

The Organising Committee reviews and assesses workshops and systems maps & exhibits with input from reviewers and the Programme Committee.

The Scholars Spiral

In 2022, the Systemic Design Association adopted the scholars spiral—a cyclic non-hierarchical approach to advance scholarship—and in 2023, launched Contexts—The Systemic Design Journal. Together, the RSD symposia and Contexts support the vital emergence of supportive opportunities for scholars and practitioners to publish work in the interdisciplinary field of systemic design.

The Systemic Design Association's membership ethos is to co-create the socialization and support for all members to contribute their work, find feedback and collaboration where needed, and pursue their pathways toward research and practice outcomes that naturally build a vital design field for the future.
