From the perspective of landscape environmental policies and usage situation, were the landscape construction actually
services for the public? This issue had a strong correlation with the sustainability. Based on the previous research
of Yanqing County landscape, this study took the extensive attention of Xiadu Park as example, from the perspective
of public feedback and government strategy in park construction, and through the analysis of social media data and
on-site investigation, and studied the usage situation of Xiadu Park. Finally, this research put forward that landscape
design was not only related to public health and happiness, but also has the important role of serving and guiding
public values.

Aiming at the housing problem of urban young drifters, this paper explored the community service mode which conformed to the needs of urban young drifters from the perspective of service design. Based on the Service Experience Engineering method, this paper took " YOU+ International youth Community" as the research case and studied the demand trend research through context research, user research and demands analysis. Moreover, this paper studied the service value network in terms of the stakeholder, the business model research and completed the service prototype through the service blueprint and the service contact. With the study of the present living situation of young drifters, this paper grasped the value of young drifters, synthesized various design means, constructed a ‘habitation plus living’ community service model which conformed to the characteristic of young drifters. In this way a sustainable circle of value creation would be created, and the mutual benefit of the young drifters, the community and the city would be finally realized.

Sustainable development and creative thinking have become central aspects of Higher Education in today’s
multi-disciplinary world. By considering the balance between learning and teaching priorities, the Design Academy,
Sichuan Fine Arts Institute and School of Design, Jiangnan University incorporate the author’s newly evolved teaching
methodology — 3A: ’ Acknowledgement, Action and Accountability’ model of sustainable development and
creativity — into its taught programs at all levels. The 3A model is a formative learning method for building capability
of individuals to create changes toward sustainable development. This paper first defines the 3A design teaching
process in the context of sustainability and sustainable development. Acknowledgment is the appreciation and
recognition of the importance and quality of sustainability in the face of global challenges, with a particular focus on
team effort, co-design and sharing findings and practices. Action is the establishment of design strategic and action
plans that consider not only the importance of intents, goals, affordable and reachable resources, but also a clear
roadmap for achieving maximum efficiency when tackling the most challenging tasks. Accountability deals with the
growing understanding of the benefits of working together to tackle global challenges such as Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR) practices. Based on evidences from the feedback and evaluations of action research, the research
team plans to further refine the 3A design teaching methodology and create a model that can be implemented and
scaled effectively with collaborative partners from community, business and local government.

The transition towards a sustainable society is a long, wide, contradictory learning process that involves the whole society. In this framework, the paper introduces and discusses these main ideas: (1) democracy, by its very nature, is the political regime in which learning processes can happen at best. (2) The search for a democratic regime converges with the one for distributed sociotechnical systems. (3) To be conceived and put into practice distributed systems require the existence of widespread collaborative design intelligence. (4) Design experts can support all this bringing in the process co-design tools and visions.
