Applying Design Thinking on Children Furniture Design Based on Rote NTT Culture

Inspiration has always played an important role in the design process, and today culture is an important element in enhancing product attractiveness and identity in the global marketplace. The paper aims to describe how ancient cultural artifacts from Rote, East Nusa Tenggara part of Indonesia, become the inspiration for design activities through the design thinking process. Rote is currently under development and needs to preserve its cultural value. The furniture is designed for Lentera Harapan School Furniture, the design vision is to educate young children about Rote's cultural heritage. Based on Stanford Design Thinking, this study explores the prospect of developing traditional culture, and made them into inspiration in ideation. The design thinking process begins with empathize process by identifying key elements of Rote culture through interviews and observations. Then followed by defining the cultural elements to be used in the next stage, which is ideation process. The best ideas are being prototyped and tested. The results of the study are children's furniture designed for LSH Rote's school, which incorporates local culture values, and through a design thinking iterative process, furniture waste materials are used to make children's educational toys about the Rote cultural icon.

Banned Books behind Bars: Prototyping a Data Repository to Combat Arbitrary Censorship Practices in U.S. Prisons

“Banned Books Behind Bars” is a social justice project that aims to shed light on the complex problem of information access in prison and to explore potential prototypes for possible solutions to some of these obstacles, in particular access to books and printed information. The United States is home to five percent of the world’s population but a staggering twenty-five percent of the world’s total prisoners. For many incarcerated individuals, access to information is a struggle: censorship, book banning, and lack of adequate library facilities or collections are common. Over the course of conducting preliminary research, this project evolved through the research process of ideation. Through the participatory action research method, qualitative interviews with volunteers from banned books organizations helped to identify potential digital tools meant to aid in the fight against the First Amendment violations that incarcerated individuals face daily. Furthermore, the interviews clarified that the first step toward creating an impactful digital project involves converting various forms of unstructured data, including newspaper articles, prison censorship forms, and state published banned book lists, into structured data. Through this discovery, “Banned Books Behind Bars” became an endeavor to standardize practices of data aggregation amongst banned books organizations throughout the country. Gathering concrete data about the practice of banning books within prisons requires an elevated level of transparency. Incarcerated individuals, their families, and prison reform activists need a platform for reporting data on censorship practices, and, ultimately, for bringing awareness to the arbitrary application of censorship guidelines within the complex world of incarceration. The final prototype is a digital repository, created with Airtable software, which offers authoritative dataset consolidation for activists and organizations working to deliver books to prisoners.

Transforming a Theoretical Framework to Design Cards: LEAGUE Ideation Toolkit for Game-Based Learning Design

Educational game design is a complex process demanding multi-dimensional focus in a heterogeneous team to balance multiple aspects. The existing Game-based learning (GBL) frameworks detail the required knowledge but are hard to use in design practice. Conversely, card-based design tools are a lightweight approach used to assist the early design phase. While several game design cards exist, none is specific for informing GBL knowledge. There is a lack of operationalizable approaches for designing learning games that integrate research based GBL knowledge into the actual ideation process. This paper presents a card-based GBL ideation toolkit to reduce the complexity of framework application and introduction of key GBL concepts in the design process as a tangible reference point to facilitate multi-dimensional focus, supporting idea generation, critical reflection, and creation of a shared understanding in the collaborative design process. The paper describes a ten-step process of transforming the LEAGUE framework into the LEAGUE toolkit (GBL ideation cards), an evaluation of the toolkit with design workshop participants, and design lessons detailing strengths and limitations to support GBL design practices.

Understanding the industrial designer’s self-perception of ideation

ABSTRACT As an essential step, design ideas generation is a process rooted in personal knowledge with a precedent-based type of reasoning, where knowledge is constantly transformed to develop new insights. An outstanding challenge in industrial design is transforming the inspirational source into insights that inform design. Based on the grounded theory, an open-ended semi-structured qualitative interview was conducted with professional industrial designers, to uncover what sources and methods do they choose and how do they transform the generated insights to ideas and the design mind-set involved. A compact framework and a detailed instrument paradigm were developed, which helps novice and students designers to explore creative solutions during the ideation process.

Gen-Next Entrepreneur : Passion, Efficacy, Intention, and the Role of Family

The role of the family or community in entrepreneurship is well acknowledged. At the first level, it can act as the role model, provide experiential learning opportunity, help in the ideation process, and often provides resources for entrepreneurial venture. Family tradition in India is expected to bolster entrepreneurial efforts of the second generation, specifically if the family members are already into business. The joint family tradition, accounting, and early entry into business are some of the well-known features of the business community. This study deals with a contrarian case. The business, family members, and process operate as a system in a specific context. The decision outcome may not always favour the entrepreneurial ambition of a next-generation individual. The entrepreneur had to disengage from the establishment, and create his own venture. The desire for inclusion, independence, and entrepreneurial efficacy are the hallmarks of this case study. It presents the sequence of events, dynamics, and challenges of a next generation entrepreneur from a business family. It also briefly discusses various aspects of the heavy machinery and precision making tools sector in India. The case study supporting resources are given to facilitate case discussion with the participants.

CuRbanIsME: A Photographic Self-Analysis to Evaluate the Likelihood of the Occurrence of Predatory Crimes in Downtown Hamburg

In this study, a triangulation of (a) spatial data, (b) self-awareness, and (c) behavioral self-analysis seeks to provide an explanation from an innovative perspective for the likelihood of the occurrence of predatory crimes in the city center. This study does not examine the circumstances in which criminal acts occur. Instead, it focuses on a broader concept that combines both the configurational factors and the behavioral interconnections in which criminal acts occur. We orient the occurrence probability of crime towards appropriate objectives in the presence or absence of attractors/detractors, with interesting variation in the behavior of the acting subject—in our case, a random walker (also called the Random Movement–displacement Agent, or RDMA, in the text), which is the key variable that triggers the occurrence probability of predatory crimes. The relationship between spatial and/or behavioral observations and the probability of the crimes that may result from such observations is limited in this text to “predatory crimes,” which are the most common and light forms of crimes that endanger both human quality of life and the related safety in the city. Such crimes include theft, damage (specifically crime against public property and all similar offensive acts, such as littering and incivility), physical attacks (restrained to attempted violence against defenseless people), robberies, and car thefts (i.e., the most frequent crimes in urban areas). The theory of complexity, specifically as illustrated by the in-depth work of the 20th century German sociologist Niklas Luhmann, also suggests the importance of self-analysis in specific contexts to construct a mosaic of social phenomena. We conducted both a behavioral self-survey and a metric-based self-analysis by measuring random walks (RWs) to achieve some common behaviors—for example, buying food, shopping, or just looking at shop windows—on the streets of downtown Hamburg, Germany. RWs are used in our article to indicate random walks in the city center and any activities that may arise from them, such as protecting oneself from potentially hostile contexts, seeking information, or conforming oneself to official signals and customs. The hundreds of images taken by us in October 2019 during their RWs in Hamburg form a reservoir of our pictures, with the aim of showing the acceptable patterns of random movements–displacements that emerge. This method was primarily discursive but based on the ongoing search for a transformative conduit of behaviors that were intuitively established and observable for us but actually involved a complex process of imaginative ideation that was impossible to promote and pass on to the reader.

Designing a Visual Tool for Teaching and Learning Front-End Innovation

This paper presents work on the design and development of a guided visual tool, the project client map (PCM), which is intended to assist students in their class projects solving real-world problems with industry clients. We use a design science research approach to contribute to existing knowledge through the design of an artefact (the PCM) that has a clear educational and learning goal, and that provides utility. Circumscribing a problem is an essential step to seed the ideation process in front-end innovation. While this step can employ existing tools that focus separately on the organisational, environmental, and human contexts of the problem under scrutiny, there is no formalised roadmap for how to integrate these tools. The PCM addresses this gap. We present a first version of the PCM in this paper, which will be refined in further work.

An Examination of the Effect of New Venture Ideation Exercises on Entrepreneurial Intentions

Entrepreneurship programming has become a popular choice among higher education students. Entrepreneurial intent is regarded as a strong predictor of entrepreneurial behavior and success of entrepreneurial education programs, while ideation is viewed as a key skill needed for successful entrepreneurial behavior. Despite the widespread discussion of entrepreneurial intent in the literature, few studies have reported the actual impact of entrepreneurship education and more specifically, ideation exercises, on intent. The authors contend that ideation is a key skill and thus, barrier to entrepreneurial intentions when students have a lack of efficacy surrounding the ideation process. This study examined the impact of a 150-minute divergent activity training session and new venture ideation exercise on entrepreneurial intent in students enrolled in undergraduate entrepreneurship courses. These measures come together in this study to help further explain how entrepreneurship educators can drive more impactful entrepreneurial behavior in students. In this study, entrepreneurial intent significantly increased in students after the brief 150-minute intervention. This study infers that entrepreneurial self-efficacy of ideation skills are critical to increased entrepreneurial intent in college students, and exercises such as the ones conducted in this study can positively impact entrepreneurial intentions among students. Recommendations for future research and practice are provided.

An Alternative Perspective on Social Opportunity Identification and New Social Venture Ideation

One fundamental concept at the heart of entrepreneurship research is that of the opportunity, or in the case of social entrepreneurship, the social opportunity. Although attempts at defining the process of social opportunity identification have been made, the explanatory power of these models was found to be lacking. Recognizing that the study of commercial entrepreneurial opportunities has experienced some of the same ‘growing pains’, I turn to three well-known paradigms in that literature stream that have offered promising insights into the process of opportunity identification or development. Drawing on and integrating these models, I attempt to develop a framework for social opportunity identification, and I further incorporate additional elements that are salient and unique to the study of social opportunities and social venturing. The outcome is a framework that overcomes the dichotomization of social opportunities into ‘creation’ and ‘discovery’ opportunities, and allows for propositions to be developed about the process of new social venture ideation and the types of new social venture ideas that arise from the process. Several propositions are offered which demonstrate the model’s functionality, and possibilities for future work and extensions are also offered.

Different Roads Lead to Rome: A Behavioral Analysis of New Venture Ideation Strategies

Behavioral research on the origins of new ventures—i.e. ideas or opportunities—predominantly focus on unique entrepreneurial attributes, such as specific cognitive and creative abilities, or unique cognitive processes, suggesting that there is one best way to derive at new venture ideas. Although some scholars have highlighted the notion that there are different ways to identify valuable new venture ideas, surprisingly little is known about the micro- foundations of different, potential new venture ideation strategies. This qualitative study investigates how thirty-two start-up founders have generated their new venture ideas. Comparison of the new venture ideation processes shows, first, that four different strategies of new venture ideation exist. These strategies are characterized by a specific set of cognitive-behavioral patterns that are rooted in different information interpretation and information transformation styles. Second, the findings suggest that these cognitive-behavioral patterns co-evolve with idea triggers; conjointly shaping differences in new venture ideation. Third, the four new venture ideation strategies appear to fit to specific types and qualities of ideas. Building on previous works, I develop a theoretical framework to characterize the four different ideation strategies and by that, expand current thinking on the micro-foundations of new venture ideation, suggesting more appreciation for individual and situational variability.

Expert Validation of Touch Point Method in Ideation Process based on User Benefit and Creativity

“You’ve got to start with the user experience and work backward to the technology”–Steve Jobs. This study demonstrates the importance of understanding the user before undergoing the engineering design process. Recently, many researchers in the design engineering fieldwork focussed on the early phase of the design process due to decision making. There are many tools developed to gather and understand user needs. Touch Point method is an example of a user-oriented design approach that focuses on gathering user needs. In this study, Touch Point method is taken as the experimental method to compare with a controlled method of the design process. Participants are the 4th year Mechanical Engineering students of UTM, JB, whom separated into two groups. They are trained with different approaches – Touch Point method and traditional design process – and are required to solve a same problem. Outcomes are in the form of detailed sketching of design concept. Every design concepts produced by both groups are evaluated by seven design experts. They evaluate the design concept via user benefit, originality and feasibility criteria. Significant effect also identified for originality, with negative correlation. Results are discussed. In conclusion, this study proves the importance of understanding user needs during early stage of the design process.

The Infographic Model of Design Thinking Process

Purpose Creativity as an outcome of our thoughts and actions is a controversial concept that has been discussed by many disciplines in different ways. In the light of cognitive research on creativity, this study aims to deal with the components of the idea generation process specific to interior design education. Based on the study conducted in the interior design studio, this paper introduces the infographic model of design thinking. the main purpose of the model is to summarize how design students initiate the design process, create their own design ideas, and also how they lead design thinking for a spatial solution. Design/Methodology/Approach The cross-disciplinary research paper within the context of the psychological studies on creative cognition consists of a detailed analysis of the design process in the design studio. A case study was conducted in the second-year undergraduate interior design studio at Hacettepe University in order to observe the students’ experiences during one semester. In the wake of this qualitative research, the data obtained from 15 design students selected have been analyzed gradually and a design thinking model has been generated with the findings. Findings In addition to the interpretation of the creativity models from the literature, initial analyses showed that design thinking can be explained in three main stages as preparation, conceptualization, and spatialization that underlie the internal and external process of design thinking in the design studio. With subsequent analyses, these stages have been divided into different strategical layers according to students’ experiences. As a result, the infographic model of the design thinking process is structured based on the evaluations of these components and the design approaches identified. Research Limitations/Implications The data acquired from the case study undertaken by the author were compared so as to identify the similarities and diversities of these processes. More research on different stages of the design process can shed more light on design thinking. In addition to this, qualitative data are based on a small group of students to get detailed information about the process. The proposed model can be adapted for different studies in the context of the design studio with more participants. Practical/Social Implications The proposed model in the research is intended to be used as a content map that shows the alternative ways of thinking in design ideation, and also an analysis method of the design process for future studies. In other words, the paper shows the two-way implications of the design thinking model on design education. One of which is a guide for practical use for design students and the other is an analytical tool for studio instructors or researchers. Originality/Value This study brings to focus on conceptualization and spatialization for creative idea generation in design studio education. On the basis of drawn from creativity models, the paper introduces a new process model that provides an original interpretation of existing models in design. The proposed model differs from previous cognitive studies, as it expands the ideation process with both internal and external operations.

4319 Team Science in Parkinson’s Research: Connecting Clinicians and Computational Teams

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: This team science pilot program aims to elevate the quality of Parkinson’s disease modeling initiatives by strengthening connections between clinical researchers and computational teams. As many data science projects in Parkinson’s research would benefit from deeper clinical expertise, many clinical engagements would be improved by upfront integration of computational requirements. These team science programs, developed from design thinking methodologies, provide structured, sustainable, and scalable means for multi-disciplinary teams to come together and co-create translational science in PD. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Design Thinking (DT) could help yield an effective learning experience. DT is grounded in ethnographic research strategies and prototyping, relying heavily on grantee interviews and feedback. This approach is commonly used to navigate and design amidst complexity; its applications range from product to healthcare to instructional design. The following is an overview of the process as applied to this project: Discover: Once the core team (MJFF and project designers) has refined the key question they would like to answer, the team will begin gathering both primary and secondary data. This phase may include focus groups, one-on-one interviews, expert interviews, and immersive data-gathering. The purpose of this phase is to capture complexity and lay the groundwork to understand grantees’ perspectives and lexicon around their work. The deliverables of this phase are primarily unstructured research findings, such as transcribed interviews and secondary sources. Define: When sufficient data has been gathered, the core team will move into an initial round of synthesis and sense-making (making connections and assumptions to explain emerging themes in the data). This phase may include one to two in-person engagements with the core team. The purpose of this phase is to define the guiding principles for subsequent prototypes. It will also help reveal potential opportunity areas, both latent or apparent. The deliverables of this phase are agreed upon key themes, insights, and an informed “How Might We” question that will anchor the ideation process. Develop: Armed with informed themes, the core team will begin to brainstorm potential solutions. Following a set of brainstorming techniques, they will initially aim for quantity versus quality in order to allow potentially innovative and/or risky solutions to surface. Eventually, these ideas will be distilled into three robust and unique prototypes. Like the prior phase, ideation may also require one to two in-person engagements. The deliverables here are three unique prototypes; the reason for three is the ensure that the team does not anchor themselves in just one solution, but rather remains in an exploratory mindset as they solicit feedback on these prototypes from the grantees. Deliver: In this final phase, the core team revisits the grantees and presents the three prototypes. This phase may include conducting three small-scale pilots or simply just explaining the prototypes. Either way, it is important to solicit another round of feedback to ensure the solutions are indeed addressing the needs and context of grantees. Once completed, the core team will iterate a final pilot design and identify any remaining questions and assumptions they would like the pilot to inform. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The team science pilot identifies five main opportunities to tighten collaboration, communication, and expectations across clinical and computational teams. Firstly, in-person events, held regularly in a central location, can act as an incubating space for these teams to partner, ideate, and pitch for grant funding. Secondly, co-developed guidelines for research questions would ensure consistent availability of clinically-relevant, computationally-feasible research topics. Thirdly, increasing the presence of Parkinson’s cohort data resources at computational conferences could introduce more diverse data and genetics interest in Parkinson’s research. Fourthly, a standard suite of research-facing, educational content (focused on both disease background and data basics) would ensure a strong baseline and launch-pad for PD modeling projects. Lastly, a fellowship program focused on early-stage researchers could establish a unique foundation to ground both clinical and computations fellows to collaboratively work on PD research as well as iterate on the aforementioned solutions. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: This team science program has the potential to upend collaborative silos in Parkinson’s research, accelerating disease modeling projects which otherwise stagnate or over-emphasize clinical v. computational aspects. By more effectively connecting team members with diverse backgrounds across clinical and computational roles, PD disease patterns can be discovered and validated ultimately resulting in improved patient care and therapeutic development. CONFLICT OF INTEREST DESCRIPTION: Several authors are staff members at The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, the sponsor of this Team Science grant. All author and non-author contributors are grant recipients from The Michael J. Fox Foundation.

Combining Software Engineering and Design Thinking Practices in the Ideation Process of Augmented Digital Experiences

AbstractDesigning augmented and tangible experiences that intertwine human practices and expectations, interaction spaces and complex digital artifacts is a complex and multifaceted task that relies upon iterative and multidisciplinary ideation processes. Design thinking techniques have been traditionally used in ideation of such digital artifacts. In this paper, we posit that integrating some software engineering practices can improve ideation by providing a structure to the process and helping to build a shared and permanently documented design rationale. It is not a matter of software engineering versus design thinking but a question of developing a holistic understanding of technological development where discipline and creativity, rationality and emotions and quality centered and people centered coexist. Based on this assumption, we conceived a software tool called CoDICE that offers a virtual co-design space where augmented digital experiences are documented and analyzed in a shared and distributed way. The paper discusses how CoDICE contributes to alleviate some problems of co-design events including the need to support multiple co-design spaces, make explicit the co-design process and its goals, support documentation, justify design decisions, explore multiple ideas and generate a shared representation of the outcomes. Two scenarios are used to illustrate the tool utility: short-term co-design workshops in which the tool enabled multidisciplinary teams of novice designers to explore and structure their ideas and a long-term co-design project where the tool facilitated traceability, documentation, the reuse of design components and the shared elaboration of the design rationale and evolution of the deployed technologies.

EVALUATION OF TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION AND GENERATIVE DESIGN TOOLS AS SUPPORT FOR CONCEPTUAL DESIGN

AbstractNowadays, a large number of different tools that support early phases of design are available to engineers. In the past decade a specialized set of CAD-based tools were developed, that support the ideation process by generating different design alternatives according to the criteria given by the designer. Two types of tools are discussed in this paper: topology optimization and generative design tools. To investigate to what extent these tools are suitable for use in early design phases and what are the main differences between them, a study was conducted on an industrial case.

Computer-Aided Design of Microfluidic Circuits.

Microfluidic devices developed over the past decade feature greater intricacy, increased performance requirements, new materials, and innovative fabrication methods. Consequentially, new algorithmic and design approaches have been developed to introduce optimization and computer-aided design to microfluidic circuits: from conceptualization to specification, synthesis, realization, and refinement. The field includes the development of new description languages, optimization methods, benchmarks, and integrated design tools. Here, recent advancements are reviewed in the computer-aided design of flow-, droplet-, and paper-based microfluidics. A case study of the design of resistive microfluidic networks is discussed in detail. The review concludes with perspectives on the future of computer-aided microfluidics design, including the introduction of cloud computing, machine learning, new ideation processes, and hybrid optimization.

Suicidal Ideation in Adolescence: A Perspective View on the Role of the Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex.

Suicide in adolescence is a worldwide issue, and it continues to present a serious problem in terms of its prevention. Among the various aspects of suicide, a very interesting area of research is represented by suicidal ideation. Recently, neuroimaging-based methods have made it possible to study the cognitive processes involved in several social situations and clinical conditions. This theoretical perspective article with an interdisciplinary approach integrates evidence from developmental psychology and social neuroscience with the aim of investigating the role of the brain area responsible for regulating negative emotions during the cognitive processes of suicidal ideation: the ventromedial prefrontal cortex. By highlighting the role of brain areas in the few studies published so far, it is possible to develop perspectives of considerable impact. Studying and understanding the role of brain areas involved in suicidal thoughts in adolescents could facilitate the creation of new perspectives on prevention programs and interventions.

Theorizing China-world integration: sociospatial reconfigurations and the modern silk roads

This paper develops a spatial perspective to examine the nature of China’s transnational influence, focusing on the implications of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) for international relations. Drawing upon political economy, regional studies and critical geopolitics, we argue that the most interesting puzzle concerning the BRI pertains to the ongoing reconfigurations of political space. Contemporary sociospatial reconfigurations as analyzed through a multidimensional framework offer key insights into the operations and the extent of China’s growing global power in general and with respect to the BRI in particular. We draw on a broad range of materials such as maps, Chinese academic and policy discourse as well as observations about corridor projects to theorize (a) how the spatiality of global and regional connectivity is reconfigured through the process of China’s integration with the world; and (b) how corridorization as a dominant physical and ideational process shapes Chinese investment projects and reconfigures state spatiality along the BRI. The results indicate that the main territorial pattern is not the nation or the region but the corridor. Furthermore, expansionist and unidirectional stories of China’s growing power overlook the local encounters and negotiations necessary for infrastructure projects to succeed. In addition, China’s economic statecraft is contextualized within the ongoing post-financial crisis political-economic restructuring of territories, places, and scales within the global capitalist system.

Get Give Make Live

PurposeThis study aims to explore the motivations and business ideation processes of 776 entrepreneurs from three diverse cohorts of technology, youth and arts entrepreneurs.Design/methodology/approachUsing an inductive approach inspired by grounded theory, observations resultant from the use of a Web-based digital test environment are openly coded, in which 776 individual entrepreneurs have stated their objectives for engaging in entrepreneurship and performed a business ideation process.FindingsThe study inductively derives a typology of objectives types – “GET GIVE MAKE LIVE” – and finds that beyond the pursuit of profitable opportunities, there is considerable variation, complexity and combinations to the reasons why individuals engage in entrepreneurship. A total of 76 percent of the population in this study have more than one objective, with 48% having more than one type of objective. While the arts entrepreneurs tended to engage in entrepreneurship to “LIVE” and the tech entrepreneurs were more inclined to “GET,” the most frequently observed objective type in all cohorts was to “MAKE.” A total of 74 percent of the entrepreneurs took an effectual approach and began defining their business idea with their core competency, yet technology entrepreneurs were the most likely to start by defining their key market.Practical implicationsEntrepreneurship educators, trainers and helpers should refrain from a standardized approach which assumes that entrepreneurs share the same set of singular motivations. Interventions might benefit from a student-centered program which promotes reflection and articulation of the entrepreneurs’ objectives and their diversity.Originality/valueThis study answers the call for research to embrace entrepreneurial diversity and compliment previous explorations of entrepreneurs’ motivations through an empirically grounded study of three diverse cohorts of entrepreneurs.

Innovation on food product development for local commodity with design thinking approach (Case study: tengkawang fruit (Shorea stenoptera Burck.) Commodity in Bengkayang, West Kalimantan)

Tengkawang (Shorea stenoptera Burck.) is a tropical flora that thrives and largely available in West Kalimantan. So far, the postharvest activity of the fruit is still not optimal and further utilization efforts is needed to result in a local commodity as local champion. The utilization was organized to gain high success with a more inclusive approach using Design Thinking. Tengkawang derived from a region with unique characteristics: 1) the natural environment that needs to be preserved, 2) grows among community areas with strong local culture, 3) very typical local commodity, and 4) located in remote areas. Through the process of observing, defining, ideation, prototyping, and storytelling or testing this research resulted in final product design derived from Tenkawang through the ideation process. The designed product developed to be a locomotive commodity-based economy for the community and also aimed to preserve the environment through the development of Tengkawang derivative products. The results of this study are action plans for the development of Tengkawang fruit food products, Tengkawang fruit post-harvest processing methods, food product formulations, packaging and branding designs of the local products that were developed, as also the marketing plan process.
