Topic

Tourism is a vital industry in the countryside

Sustainable tourism requires a holistic approach in planning to solve problems derived from tourism.

Encouraging direct participation to promote sustainable tourism

Using co-design in tourism as sustainable design

Rural tourism accounts for £14 billion in income and supports 380,000 jobs.

UK adults make 14 million holiday trips to the English countryside each year and 1.1 billion leisure day visits are also taken in the countryside.

VisitBritain (2005)

Sustainable Tourism generates benefits for countryside visitors and local communities without damaging the environment.(Countryside Commission, 1995)

Sustainable Tourism requires effective planning and management to achieve the potential benefits of rural tourism.(Sharpley & Sharpley, 1997)

A community-based approach to tourism development is a precondition for sustainability.(Woodley, 1993; Sharpley & Sharpley, 1997)

The participation of relevant stakeholders is a social dimension of sustainable tourism. (WTO, 2004; Panyik et al., 2011)

The transition towards sustainability requires radical changes.(Jansen, 1993; Braungart & McDough, 1998; Manzini, 2007; Walker, 2008)

Co-design is a method to generate new ideas to meet society’s needs, aiming to create a new vision and purpose for society and the environment. (Fuad-Luke (2007)

Co-design is increasingly popular in many businesses and organizations. (Binder, Brandt, & Gregory; Steen, 2008)

Page 5: Collaborative Hotel Development

Collaborative Hotel Development towards Sustainable Rural Tourism Seungil Lee 1.The Research Overview

Co-design

Theoretical Background

Sanders and Stappers (2008: 6) define co-design as creative designers and people not trained in design working together in the design development process.Broadbent (2003) describes the following characteristics of co-design (Faud-Luke, 2007: 38):

• Being holistic, intuitive, descriptive, experiential and empirical, pragmatic and wisdom/values-based approach;

• Being an iterative, non-linear interactive process;

• Being “action-based” research;

• Involving top-down and bottom-up approaches;

• Simulating the real world;

• Being useful for complex systems or problems;

• Being situation driven, especially by common human situations;

• Satisfying pluralistic outcomes;

• Being internalised by the system.

Definition of co-design differs from context to context and according to the disciplinary outlook.

(LSE, 2009: 7)

Page 6: Collaborative Hotel Development

Collaborative Hotel Development towards Sustainable Rural Tourism Seungil Lee 1.The Research Overview

Shepherd (1998) argues that participation in rural development is still regarded as very idealistic and ideological, although Macdonald (1993) sees this as an appropriate method.

(Osborne et al., 2002: 1)

Tourism planning through collaboration with the community(e.g. Jamal & Getz, 1995)

Can the application of collaborative hotel development to sustainable rural tourism be introduced into current scholarship?⦁ Hotels are a key component of tourism.

(Wight, 1997: 210)

⦁ Collaborative planning methodologies may be a viable alternative for sustainable tourism planning, as they stimulate trans-disciplinary discussion among diverse local and social groups and meet the need to consider multiple interactions, feedback relationships, complexities and uncertainties.

The overall design process is convergent, but it will contain periods of deliberate divergence.(Nigel Cross, 2000)

Emphasising “Walking process” as descriptions of actual behaviour rather than “theoretical and prescriptive” in many models of the design process.

(Lawson, 1991)

The Dott methodology adopts a ‘bottom-up’ approach, encouraging both professionals and the public to share ideas and to have greater ownership of the solutions. (Design Council, 1996)

Iconic model of the design processafter Mihajlo D. Mesarovic (1964)

In this model, Mesarovic employs a helix as the central struc-ture, suggesting both a repeated cycle of steps and progress through time.

Peter Rowe (1987) notes that Mesarovic’s model is similar in structure to Asimow’s. (See pages 92-95.) “Throughout this kind of account runs the assumption that it is possible to discriminate distinct phases of activity and, further more, that such distinctions have relevance to our understanding of design.” Rowe continues, “The very maintenance of distinct phases of activity, with a beginning and an end, and with

feedback loops among them, requires that objective per-formance criteria can be explicitly stated in a manner that fundamentally guides the procedure. Moreover, there is a strong implication that the eventual synthesis of information in the form of some designed object follows in a straightfor-ward fashion from analysis of the problem at hand together with likely performance criteria. Therefore, once a problem has been defi ned, its solution is made directly accessible in terms of that defi nition.” Rowe describes this view as “be-haviorist” and also links it to “operations research”.

The aim of the design is to develop conceptual scenarios based on the Chipping context for the hotel development project, which would be practical and academically reasonable and appropriate in terms of a development for the village.

Objectives:To realise the development in ChippingTo facilitate local residentsʼ access to the hotel developmentTo formulate proactive engagement.

The scenarios have to be flexible to include the diverse opinions of local residents, while helping to communicate with the hotel development company and local stakeholders.

which are introduced in conceptual mapping based on aspects of rural tourism. In the

concepts presented here, the scenarios are not fixed but flexible. Therefore,

conceptual suggestions that eliminate the negative effects of participation, such as

proposing a fixed design created by a designer, might promote positive feedback

with space for more communication in design. Furthermore, this could provide new

insights into local residents. However, the result cannot be imagined before

proceeding with the workshop with local residents, due to practical considerations.

The following chapter will discuss this particular issue.

Visualisation of scenario for Zone 3

Four future scenarios for Zone 3

Peopleʼs mental images of the future can be articulated in a picture.Zeisel (2006: 272)

One architectural sketch is “worth 10,000 words” and can be used for communication to aid design collaboration.

Tzonis (2004: 69)

One of the important positive side effects of working with future scenarios is that participants feel free to put aside their current vested interests and leave disagreements out of the discussion.

vested interests and leave disagreements out of the discussion.

6.2 Results: Features and Benefits of Collaborative Hotel

Development

The result of the hotel design development project is a hotel within the Hotel

Community Business Partnership Programme (HCBP) (see Figure 15), a programme

designed to shift the paradigm of hotel design and encourage participation by local

residents of all ages and all proactive clubs. HCBP is important in encouraging

employment and local businesses, as these are the major challenges facing

Collaborative Hotel Development in Chipping

Co-design relies heavily on location context, “Being situation driven” (Broadbent, 2003; Faud-Luke, 2007: 38).

The researcher must recognise the “personality of the place”. Local characteristics are integral to developing a collective understanding of the communityʼs needs, problems and future opportunities (Lachapelle et al., 2012: 90).

Co-design in hotel development will require a customised process for each community's involvement in the process of designing, planning and implementing the development.

“Collaborative hotel development” must bring together thinking and working from different perspectives, and involve resolving considerable conflicts; it can be seen as a social activity (Bucciarelli, 1996; Adams et al., 2011; 588).

Steps in process

(Influenced by Lee, 2008)

Current and desired process in Chipping project is still linear movement

One of the characteristics of co-design is an iterative, non-linear interactive process. (Broadbent, 2003; Faud-Luke, 2007: 38)

To achieve this, effective communication between the hotel development company, local stakeholders and government authority in a well-organised workshop might be an essential element in an iterative co-design plan.
