디자인 액티비즘 특성에 준거한 시민 참여형 정책디자인 현황 및 발전 방향 제언 - 국민정책디자인단 사례를 중심으로

This study aims to present the future direction of citizen-participatory policy design and design activism by analyzing cases of the 'Civilian Design Group' through the detailed characteristics of design activism, based on the user-centered model and the activation of citizen-participatory policy design by the 'Civilian Design Group'. The researcher then compared and analyzed the cases against the five characteristics of design activism proposed by the researcher. The analysis revealed that each 'Civilian Design Group' case included at least one design activism characteristic, showing a similar orientation towards solving public service design problems through citizen-government interaction. However, a limitation identified was the scarcity of projects targeting ecological and environmental change. Projects like the Cheonggyecheon Restoration show that such efforts require significant time, effort, and crucially, citizen input. Therefore, the government must transition ecological policies to a citizen participatory approach. Leveraging design activism, such as the 'Civilian Design Group', can provide an effective framework to address these challenges.
