Abstract

Public health events are currently being raised to new heights as a global issue, and such problems are often defined as Wicked problems and therefore bear essential research value. This paper takes the research paradigm focused on the Wicked Problem as an entry point. It examines a range of issues arising from Covid-19 in China, focusing on the impact of Covid-19 on human life and the means of intervention. This study, by reflecting on design and re-examining methodologies, finds that the Wicked Problem is difficult to be solved through conventional designing methods. Thus, this paper attempts to construct a new paradigm of thinking and a new design paradigm to address the challenges that the COVID-19 context has as a Wicked Problem. The paper suggests that designers or managers can utilize this design model to solve the distributed Wicked problem first, which means dissolving its complexity by innovating perspectives that allow the problems to be solved.
