Abstract
This article presents a study to identify heuristics that allow expanding social cohesion in urban agriculture initiatives. For this, two ex-post-facto case studies were carried out from Rotterdam (Netherlands) and Geneva (Switzerland). Another objective of the research is to reflect on the use of these heuristics in Service Design and Design for Social Innovation. The Heuristic Method is presented with the grounded theory approach and the steps of the method for identifying the heuristics. Finally, the contribution of this research is in the proposal of meta-actions for its conversion into Design actions based on the ten identified heuristics.
