Exploring the TreCare Concept - Tree-centred interventions underpinned with a human-centred design approach to the development of a new digital service.

如果树能告诉我们它们需要什么，它们会说什么？我们的项目旨在创建一项数字服务，倡导公共空间和私人花园中树木的健康和福祉。我们现有的TreMap平台允许人们分享、开发和获取有关树木的知识。他们可以对树木进行地理定位、绘制地图并将其定位在其确切位置，从而开发出一个独特的数据库，以识别社区或陆地区域内的树木。我们设计的概念是让人们参与进来，让他们意识到他们周围的自然历史和树木标本。目前，我们的创新MVP平台利用GPS和地球观测数据，在航空航天康沃尔和农业技术康沃尔的支持下帮助我们达到这一阶段。但我们的雄心更远--当然，我们想让我们的应用程序吸引人们，但我们想要在以地球为中心(或以树为中心)的设计方法之间取得平衡，考虑到树木的保存、保护和健康，我们如何才能优化我们的功能，造福于树木。最终，我们计划使用我们的主动标签和定位系统来创建一个全球树木数据库。我们计划从以地球为中心(或以树为中心的设计)的方法开始，并在一端聘请一个由树木倡导者和专家组成的咨询团队，另一端考虑土地所有者、议会和负责公共绿地的人所面临的问题。然后，使用设计思维原则，我们将构建解决方案的原型，弥合这一差距，致力于以直观和有效的方式来做对树木最有利的事情，以及对对树木负有责任的组织中的人最有利的事情。

If trees could tell us what they needed, what would they say? Our project seeks to create a digital service that advocates for the health and wellbeing of the trees in our public spaces and private gardens. Our existing TreMap platform allows people to share, develop and gain knowledge about trees. They can geo-locate, map and position a tree at its exact location, developing a unique database that identifies the trees within communities or land areas. We designed our concept to engage people, making them aware of the natural history and tree specimens around them. Currently, our innovative MVP platform utilises GPS and Earth Observation data, with support from Aerospace Cornwall and Agritech Cornwall helping us to reach this stage. But our ambition goes further- of course we want to make our app engaging for people, but we want to balance this with a planet-centred (or tree centred) design approach and consider how we can optimise our functionality for the benefit of trees, considering their preservation, protection and health. Ultimately, we plan to use our proactive labelling and positioning system to create a global database of trees.We plan to start with a planet-focussed (or tree centred design) approach and engage an advisory team of tree advocates and specialists at one end and consider the issues faced by landowners, councils and those responsible for public green spaces at the other. Then, using design thinking principles, we will prototype solutions that bridge this gap, working on intuitive and impactful ways to do what's best for the trees and what's best for the people in the organisations who have responsibilities for them.
