The presentation:
I identified 4 domains in which an appropriate solution can exist. The catch is that all the domains work interdependently with each other and any effective solution must incorporate all aspects of the domains. Basically that means a very big, very service design solution that includes everything I love times 1000.Physical: an object or product that is made for specific users, lives in a specific location and is intended to be usable, accessible, useful and valuable to the user.
Digital: part of the solution incorporates an internet aspect in the form of a user-created-content forum, social network, database or all three. The digital aspect will work seamlessly with the other three domains to create a well-rounded tool and experience.
Education: awareness is created through accessible information. Giving users the tools and info needed to improve their lives is the best way to enable cultural or behavioral change. The education aspect will empower the community from the bottom-up.
Community: the support of neighborhoods, city government, local businesses and individuals will tie the domains together and create a successful solution that lives physically and digitally to promote the awareness of its people. The solutions exist within the community and for the community.
One idea/component for the solution is a physical booklet, a pocket-sized "manual" that gives the tools needed to promote strong biking practices in terms of registering a bike, how to lock up, what to do if it's stolen, et cetera.
The second page outline the contents of the manual and are a starting point for the final product. The manual will live in bike shops and community centers and serve as a physical aspect in the multiple-domain approach to solving bike theft in Savannah. Hell yes.
There's more on these sketches on my flickr. enjoy!
