摘要:AbstractPoverty is a multidimensional issue, characterized by deprivations and constraints at the individual, institutional, economic, and technological level. To satisfy the unmet or underserved needs of people living in poverty, the relevant constraints in the target context must be addressed via integrated design solutions. Although previous studies in this field show that designing integrated solutions requires input from multiple stakeholders, there is a lack of relevant research examining the nature of this input. To address this, using a case study methodology, we analyzed three design projects that have successfully responded to the pertinent constraints within each context by supporting social and human development among its marginalized populations. Based on our findings, we designed a stakeholder input framework categorizing a diverse range of stakeholder perspectives—both inside and outside the context of poverty—that can contribute towards integrated solutions design. The findings and resulting stakeholder input framework can help designers gain a deeper appreciation of the constraints faced by marginalized societies, and how design input from various stakeholders can be mobilized to overcome these constraints and create value for resource-poor people.Highlights•Integrated design solutions are crucial if we are to support the development of marginalized communities.•Three case studies illustrate the range of stakeholder input that can be invested in integrated solutions design.•Our stakeholder input framework depicts the contributions made by various organizations and individuals to the integrated solution design process and outcomes.•Design input from a diverse range of stakeholders—from both within and outside the context of marginalization—is needed to design solutions that are, indeed, integrated.
