A framework for ‘configuring participation’ in living labs

Abstract In recent years, ‘living lab (LL)’, a design approach that actively involves users as partners from the early stage of process, has been attracting much attention. Compared with traditional participatory or co-design approaches, one distinctive features LL is process and opportunity for user participation tends to be long-term complex. Thus, practitioners must appropriately plan effective integration into promote co-creation users. other words, are required ‘configure participation’ promotion co-creation. However, date, knowledge on how properly configure complex in LLs not systematically clarified, nor have its methodologies developed. This study develops novel framework configuring LLs. Through literature review analysis case studies, we identified 11 key elements five categories should considered while Furthermore, basis elements, developed LLs, which called blueprint. We demonstrated use also discussed theoretical practical contributions research community.
