ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper is to present the co-design probes in collaboration with the community and apply the semiotic triangle model to analyse the design probes co-created to simulate design ideas that can be used for future prototyping of the community networks' setup. Five (5) members of the community participated in three (3) activities: one online via a WhatsApp group and two in-person workshops at the community longhouse. The community collected twenty-five (25) values and created seven "Proud to be Iban" design probes. Following the semiotic triangle model, the design probes were analysed with the community and then mapped with the 25 values. Through this generative design process, a few good design ideas were generated, which will be recommendation to the technology design for the implementation of the Bawang Assan community networks in the later stage. It is anticipated that the design of technology based on these findings will assist the community in adopting technology as part of their culture and promote the sustainability of community networks.
