Nature's Way: Co-Creating Methods for Innovating Nature-based Solutions for Public Health and Green Recovery in a Post-COVID World

该项目旨在共同创造基于自然的解决方案(NBS)知识，使社区、组织和个人能够创新基于自然的解决方案，作为新冠肺炎大流行后医疗保健和社会韧性的替代方案。它将采取以人为中心的设计方法，以实现更广泛的合作，并整合原本被孤立的知识和专业知识。该项目是皇家艺术学院、谢菲尔德大学、沃尔索尔住房集团、布拉德福德市议会、共享资产、HAS技术、国家自愿和社区行动协会以及智能医疗的联合努力。NBS是与自然合作、帮助应对社会挑战的行动，例如生态修复。在这项提案中，它指的是利用绿地、公园和湖泊为健康和福祉目的的社会创新行动。它的依据是有证据表明，经常与自然接触可以增进身体健康和精神健康，并创造社会效益。该项目将“绿色处方”的概念扩展到患者和全科医生以外的更广泛的社区和公众。该项目的主要成果是：-一种综合方法，辅以培训网络研讨会，使人们能够创新和改进具有成本效益的国家BS；-一个开放的创新平台，利用综合方法促进国家BS的发展，将现有资源与不同的利益攸关方，包括专员、提供者、机构和志愿社区行动团体和个人联系起来；-试点的成果--国家BS的概念--将由Walsall住房集团和布拉德福德市议会实施，以在创建服务目录的现有方法的基础上，为这两个领域的弱势群体创造直接利益；-一篇期刊论文，两篇会议论文，考察设计思维在国家统计局创新中的作用。

This project aims to co-create Nature-based Solutions (NBS) knowledge to empower communities, organisations, and individuals to innovate NBS as alternatives for healthcare and societal resilience following the COVID-19 pandemic. It will take a human-centred design approach to enable wider collaboration and to integrate otherwise 'siloed' knowledge and expertise.This project is a joint-effort between the Royal College of Art, the University of Sheffield, Walsall Housing Group, Bradford City Council, Shared Assets, HAS technology, National Association of Voluntary and Community Action, and Intelligent Health.NBS are actions, e.g. ecological restoration, that work with nature to help address societal challenges. In this proposal, it refers to social innovation actions utilising green space, parks and lakes, for the purpose of health and wellbeing. It is based on the evidence that regular contact with nature enhances physical health and mental wellbeing, and creates social benefits. It expands the concept of 'green prescription' to include wider communities and public beyond patients and GPs.The main deliverables of the project are:- An integrated method supported with training webinars enabling people to innovate and improve cost-effective NBS;- An open innovation platform facilitating NBS development using the integrated method, to link available resources and different stakeholders including commissioners, providers, agencies and voluntary community action groups and individuals;- The outcome of the pilots - NBS concepts - will be implemented by Walsall Housing Group and Bradford City Council to create immediate benefit to vulnerable people in these two areas, building upon existing approaches in the creation of service directories;- One journal paper, two conference papers to examine the role of design thinking in NBS innovation.
