Between Kitchen Sink and City Sewer: A Socio-Ecological Approach to Food Waste in Environmental Design
Food Waste Management, 2020Co-Authors: Ellen Burke, N. Claire NapawanAbstract:Burke and Napawan discuss how the places of food waste are only marginally, if at all, considered a design project. By participating in the diminishment of the physical spaces of food waste, designers and planners passively support cultural attitudes that counteract sustainability and fail to adequately evaluate human impact on the environment. Burke and Napawan construct an argument for a more sustainable and integrated Approach to food waste in environmental design by synthesising three disparate areas of theory (urban metabolism, socio-Ecological resilience, feminism) and document an example of applying the Approach in practice. By doing this, they argue that environmental designers need to develop a socio-Ecological Approach to create solutions to food waste.

The Ecological Approach to multimodal system design
1999Co-Authors: Antonella De Angeli, Frédéric Wolff, Laurent Romary, Walter GerbinoAbstract:Following the Ecological Approach to visual perception, this paper presents a framework that emphasizes the role of vision on referring actions. In particular, affordances are utilized to explain gestures variability in a multimodal human-computer interaction. Such a proposal is consistent with empirical findings obtained in different simulation studies showing how referring gestures are determined by the mutuality of information coming from the target and the set of movements available to the speaker. A prototype that follows anthropomorphic perceptual principles to analyze gestures has been developed and tested in preliminary computational validations.

improving low health literacy and patient engagement a social Ecological Approach
Patient Education and Counseling, 2017Co-Authors: Lauren Mccormack, Veronica Thomas, Megan A Lewis, Rima E RuddAbstract:Abstract Objective This article posits four principal objectives related to the overarching goal of broadening the conceptualization of health literacy. We propose a social Ecological Approach to health literacy and patient engagement by illustrating how this multilevel Approach offers an array of strategic options for interventions. Discussion A social Ecological Approach supports a broader understanding of health literacy that aligns with increased patient engagement. The Ecological model highlights the importance of context, demonstrates how health literacy and patient engagement are inextricably connected, and gives rise to strategies to enhance them both. We illustrate the five multilevel intervention strategies for addressing low health literacy and promoting patient engagement: accumulation, amplification, facilitation, cascade, and convergence strategies. In addition, we provide a theoretical foundation to facilitate the development of interventions to enhance health literacy and ultimately increase patient engagement. Conclusions The practice implications of adopting a broader social Ecological perspective to address low health literacy shifts the field from thinking about individual educational interventions to how individual interventions may be augmented or supported by interventions at additional levels of influence. The potential benefit of adopting a multilevel intervention Approach is that combining interventions could produce synergies that are greater than interventions that only utilize one level of influence.

Human Information Interaction: An Ecological Approach to Information Behavior
2012Co-Authors: Raya FidelAbstract:Human information interaction (HII) is an emerging area of study that investigates how people interact with information; its subfield human information behavior (HIB) is a flourishing, active discipline. Yet despite their obvious relevance to the design of information systems, these research areas have had almost no impact on systems design. One issue may be the contextual complexity of human interaction with information; another may be the difficulty in translating real-life and unstructured HII complexity into formal, linear structures necessary for systems design. In this book, Raya Fidel proposes a research Approach that bridges the study of human information interaction and the design of information systems: cognitive work analysis (CWA). Developed by Jens Rasmussen and his colleagues, CWA embraces complexity and provides a conceptual framework and analytical tools that can harness it to create design requirements. CWA offers an Ecological Approach to design, analyzing the forces in the environment that shape human interaction with information. Fidel reviews research in HIB, focusing on its contribution to systems design, and then presents the CWA framework. She shows that CWA, with its Ecological Approach, can be used to overcome design challenges and lead to the development of effective systems. Researchers and designers who use CWA can increase the diversity of their analytical tools, providing them with an alternative Approach when they plan research and design projects. The CWA framework enables a collaboration between design and HII that can create information systems tailored to fit human lives.
