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个数字服务，倡导我们的公共空间和私人花园中的树木的健康和福祉。我们现有的TreMap平台允许人们分享，开发和获得有关树木的知识。他们可以对一棵树进行地理定位、绘制地图并将其定位在准确的位置，开发一个独特的数据库，以识别社区或土地区域内的树木。我们的设计理念是让人们参与进来，让他们了解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，并得到康沃尔航空公司和康沃尔农业技术公司的支持，帮助我们达到这一阶段。但我们的目标更远-当然，我们希望让我们的应用程序吸引人们，但我们希望平衡这与以地球为中心（或以树木为中心）的设计方法，并考虑如何优化我们的功能，以造福树木，考虑他们的保存，保护和健康。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（或以树木为中心的设计）的方法开始，一方面聘请树木倡导者和专家组成的咨询团队，另一方面考虑土地所有者，议会和公共绿色空间负责人所面临的问题。然后，使用设计思维原则，我们将原型解决方案，弥合这一差距，以直观和有效的方式工作，做什么是最好的树木和什么是最好的人在组织中谁对他们的责任。

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.
