Abstract

In regions like rural Indonesia, the unique nature resulting from limited global economic and technological engagement demands bespoke solutions over generic ones. This research focuses on the transformative potential of design for rural Indonesian communities, offering critical insights for similar developmental endeavors. By employing the Small, Local, Open, and Connected (SLOC) framework in tandem with design thinking, the study aims to gauge the efficacy of systemic design strategies in promoting scalable local growth. Data was gathered through in-depth interviews and observations in Temanggung, Central Java, supplemented with desk research. The results underscore that marrying Design Thinking with the SLOC approach adeptly navigates complex systemic relationships, viewing communities as integral parts of a broader ecosystem. Collaborations between design professionals and local villagers proved essential in unraveling systemic intricacies, thereby crafting sustainable strategies rooted in local capacities. The SLOC technique excels in leveraging relationships, dependencies, and diverse elements to instigate scalable regional shifts. This highlights the designer’s cardinal role as a conduit for sustainable rural progress and community well-being, offering valuable direction for community developers tackling socio-ecological challenges. Future investigations might venture into the applicability of these methods across varied rural landscapes, deepening our understanding of Design’s influence on multifaceted societal issues.
