Footprints Without Borders: An Interactive Installation for Tangible Communication About Consumption-Based CO₂ Emissions in an Exhibition Context: Footprints Without Borders: Eine interaktive Installation zur greifbaren Kommunikation nachfragebasierter CO₂-Emissionen im Ausstellungskontext
Pages 572 - 575
Abstract
English Looking at consumption-based emissions is directly relevant to policy discussions. In order to develop effective climate strategies, climate policy needs to address the root causes, which requires an understanding of outsourced CO₂ emissions. Using a design science research methodology process, an interactive installation was developed to communicate scientifically collected data in an exhibition environment. A three-dimensional and tangible world map allows to explore territorial emissions in contrast to cosumption-based emissions visually and haptically. Evaluation findings indicate that the exhibit supports different levels of understanding according to Bloom's taxonomy. The developed design and interaction concept was evaluated in early user tests showing high pragmatic and very high hedonic qualities. Based on first results, the designed learning object offers an alternative approach to inform about outsourced emissions and to promote the discourse about effective climate strategies.
Deutsch Die Betrachtung nachfragebasierter Emissionen ist unmittelbar relevant für politische Diskussionen. Um wirksame Klimastrategien zu entwickeln, muss Klimapolitik die grundlegenden Ursachen adressieren, was ein Verständnis der Trends zur Auslagerung von CO₂-Emissionen voraussetzt. Mit einem Design Science Research Methodology Prozess wurde ein interaktives Exponat entwickelt, das territoriale Emissionsdaten im Kontrast zu nachfragebasierten Daten dreidimensional verkörpert. In einer Ausstellungsumgebung werden die wissenschaftlich erhobenen Daten durch eine tangible Weltkarte visuell und haptisch erkundbar kommuniziert. Erste Ergebnisse der Evaluation zeigen, dass die Besucher:innen auf verschiedenen Taxonomiestufen nach Bloom angesprochen werden. Das entwickelte Design- und Interaktionskonzept wurde in ersten Nutzertests mit hohen pragmatischen und sehr hohen hedonischen Qualitäten bewertet. Auf Basis der Ergebnisse bietet das designte Lernobjekt einen alternativen Ansatz, über ausgelagerte Emissionen zu informieren und damit den Diskurs über über wirksame Klimastrategien zu fördern.
