- The use of practices as a unit of analysis has been suggested in order to scale up efforts within sustainable HCI and to shift the focus from changing individual behaviours to supporting transitions at a societal level. In this paper, we take a practice approach to the case of sustainable transportation, and more specifically to car-free transportation. Car use is intertwined in many practices and managing life without a car is difficult, particularly for people in contexts where owning at least one car per family is the norm. We studied three families in Stockholm who replaced their cars with different combinations of light electric vehicles during one year. From the families' experiences, we identified a number of opportunities for designers of interactive technologies to support environmental pioneers in the particular case of car-free living, as well as to support transitions towards sustainable practices in general.

- For sustainable practices to emerge, they have to be tried out. In the design intervention A Car-free Year, we studied the particularities of three families’ changed practices. With a collaborative mind-set, the practices’ constituting elements were analysed, and their intertwined links followed, forming possible design concepts. When designing these seeds for changed practices, we have found, through the knowledge gained from the participants’ different perspectives, possibilities to design initiatives that could enable more people to live car-free. We believe that designing enabling ecosystems, where all types of elements encourage sustainable practices, can be an important role of sustainable design. Furthermore, design research can challenge existing societal norms, as clearly revealed in this project, and consequently inspire more people to make sustainable lifestyle choices.

Aligning private and public domains for sustainable disruptive innovation
- 2016

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper addresses the constellation of various actors from private and publicsectors represented by three companies, a municipality, a non-profitorganization, a research lab and users to collaborate on bringing forward asustainability driven disruptive innovation. The purpose of the paper is toinvestigate how the various actors’ interests and contributions influence themanagement of the collaboration setup and what barriers and enablers boost orimpede the outcome of the setup, i.e. deploying an innovation with sustainabilitypromise. We argue that the alignment of diverse actors’ interests and aims forthe innovation in collaborative settings is crucial for the collaboration to lead todesirable outcomes. However, only alignment at an abstract level cannot ensuresuccess even when actors bring competencies that balance the innovationrequirements. Rather, creating cohesion and commitment of all actorssimultaneously at a concrete level is necessary. The integration of newapproaches to collaboration such as design methods may strengthencommitment despite actors coming from different organizational cultures andtraditions.
