The importance of user-experience in refugee integration policymaking: how can a Design Thinking approach inform better integration policies?

用户体验在难民融合政策制定中的重要性：设计思维方法如何为更好的融合政策提供信息？本研究探讨了设计思维在难民融合政策制定中的应用可能性。以前的研究考察了融合政策，但它们没有从难民和收容社区的角度进行研究。在让这些最终用户直接参与共同设计政策方面，政府做得很少；这项研究将填补这一空白，通过设计思维方法引入一种新的方法来检查英国和美国的难民融合政策。它旨在加深对两国国家和地方两级难民融合制度的了解。其目标是制定切实可行的政策构想和建议，以支持制定一项协调和全面的政策，使难民能够可持续地融入这些国家。作为这项研究的一部分，实地考察和数据收集将在英国和美国进行。

The importance of user-experience in refugee integration policymaking: how can a Design Thinking approach inform better integration policies?This research examines the possibility of applying Design Thinking in the refugee integration policymaking. Previous studies have examined integration policies, but they have not done so from the perspectives of refugees and host communities. And little has been done to involve these end-users directly in co-designing policies; this research will fill this gap, introducing a new approach to examining integration policies for refugees in both the UK and the US through a design thinking approach. It aims to create a deeper understanding of refugee integration systems in the in both countries at National and Local levels. The objective is to develop practical policy ideas and recommendations that will support the development of a coordinated and holistic policy for sustainable integration for refugees in each of these countries. As part of this research field visits and data collection will be carried in both the UK and the US.
