社會設計的未來

文|詹偉雄 [ 社會觀察家 ]


「社會設計」由「社會」與「設計」兩個字面概念組成,清晰可辨,但也正因它如此順理成章,人們反而不容易理解它的內在紋理,譬如:它為何出現在這個世代,不是更早或更晚。
這個概念來自上個世紀末歐洲,逐漸席捲全球城市,它強調城市治理者或者有心要創造社會新契機的人,透過社會來創作出各種改變社會的設計,進而促進社會新福祉的實現。
這裡的關鍵在於:「社會設計」必須捲進社會之中,不是一、兩個人靈光一閃的傑作,社會設計的作用在於社會成員的有機互動,在完成某些設計的客觀之物之時,心智結構(mindset)也跟著重新塑造。而最終,「社會設計」關心的是社會能否藉由這些設計,重新獲得一種「社會整合」( social solidarity ) 的一體感與榮耀感。因而,它不單只是關懷弱勢者的一種被動、補救性的行為,而是一種面向新世界、破壞性創新的介入式社會工程。
現代化城市冷漠的官僚主義、專家政治、標準作業工序(SOP)、程式化日常生活......,使得人們相連的紐帶感日益破碎、疏離,而「社會設計」正是反轉這個宿命的集體啟蒙行動,它的時代意義、迫切性也在於此。
理論上,現代政府每一個局處的施政政策,都至少應該是一件微型的「社會設計」,然而我們眼看臺灣,卻發現離這個視野極其遙遠。臺灣「社會設計」的未來,也許得從把成群結隊、睡得昏沈的大象們搖醒(或驚醒)開始!

The Future of Social Design

Text by Wei-Hsiung Chan, Social Observer


"Social design" is an idea literally composed of the dual concepts of "society" and "design"- this much is clear. But the simplicity of this explanation is exactly the reason why people have such a difficult time understanding what this means. For instance, why has social design appeared with this generation rather than earlier or later?
The concept of social design has its origins late-20th Century Europe. From there, it gradually swept through cities around the world. Social design stresses that city governments and those willing to create new opportunities in society should create various society-changing designs through society itself in order to promote a new social welfare.
The key here is that, "social design" must permeate society. It is not the result of a sudden flash of inspiration on the part of one or two people. The function of social design is in the organic interaction between members of society. When completing certain objective aspects of design, peoples' mindsets will be reshaped. And finally, "social design" is concerned with whether society is able to regain a sort of social solidarity- a sense of unity and pride- through these designs. Therefore, social design is not just a passive force that seeks to help the disadvantaged, it is instead a sort of interventionist social program that faces towards a new world and disruptive innovation.
Day by day, the cold bureaucracy, professional politics, standard operating procedures, and programmed modes of daily lives seen in modern cities break down the sense of connection that links people together and alienates people from one another. Social design is the movement towards collective enlightenment working to reverse this unfortunate trend. This is where social design's urgency and its significance to our times lie.
In theory, the policies of every government office should be a small example of social design, but looking at Taiwan, we discover that the reality is extremely far from this vision. The future of social design in Taiwan may have to begin with large numbers of people joining together to wake up the old dinosaurs in our government!
