Heritage is defined as the set of all material, immaterial, natural and cultural assets, whose immense value is universal and belongs to all people, as a property of present and future world generations. It is therefore an asset to be preserved for future generations. However current design approaches used to implement existing Heritage’s promotion strategies mainly use visual-centric design approaches, as a result of the anthropologic humans’ legacy to live. Thus, people with sensorial-perceptive disabilities (i.e. blinds) are excluded from all design interventions and they rarely can enjoy of the Heritage. This paper presents the results of design researches focused on the role of Design for the inclusive and sustainable enhancement of Cultural and Natural Heritage, with an emphasis on the sensorial-perceptive fruition of sites. It combines Communication Design, Inclusive Design, Digital Modeling and Rapid Prototyping to develop a design framework useful to create sustainable and inclusive communicative solutions for the auditory-visual-haptic enhancement of Heritage.

The rapid development of traditional tourism has seriously affected the ecological environment of tourist attractions, causing many negative impacts. The high-density use of land, water pollution have affected the living patterns of local residents. The existence of these problems has accelerated the over-exploitation of tourism resources in tourist attractions and affected the ecological balance of tourist attractions. Based on the exhaustion and non-renewability of tourism resources, this paper designs the resource recycling service system whichbased on the theory of circular economy and sustainable development. This article will take a number of cases as an example to study the operation of the circulatory system in different places, reasonable classification of domestic garbage, reuse of food, water resources and other wastes, so that China's tourism industry in the process of construction and development, not only promote economic growth, but also in line with sustainable development design.

Several processes were developed to design products, services and, more recently, more sustainable systems in the last decades, as well as studies for a transition to less aggressive lifestyles to the planet. Although there is already a certain amount of research in this field, specifically in PhD programs, there are few ones. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate sustainability approaches in design´s PhD theses in Brazil. For that, a systematic review of literature of Design and Sustainability´s theses in the Industrial Design field was performed at Coordination of Improvement of Higher Level Personnel [CAPES]´ data basis. As results, to understand the state of the art of PhD theses regarding Design and Sustainability in Brazil, contributing to the identification of knowledge gaps, mapping their main types and applicability, besides fomenting new PhD studies.
