Proposta de um modelo para a organização das informações sobre as ativações de design em Curitiba

Abstract

In mind of the need to create a Report on Design initiatives carried out in the city of Curitiba in the period of 2018-2021 for the UNESCO Creative Cities Network, it was suggested that this project set out to collect the data required for reporting for that specific period. However, the main objective was to obtain a better visual presentation of the report than the first one presented in Curitiba. Deepening into this objective, it was possible to understand that this problem would then be repeated every four years because there was no established structure; and so that it was not necessary to start a new report project every four years, it was suggested that structuring data collection and standardization that could be replicated every four years, following UNESCO guidelines, would be a viable solution to the problem. For using the Double Diamond methodology, it was possible to explore this issue by comparing two recent reports (from the same creative area as Curitiba and with similar features) with each other and with the new UNESCO Monitoring Guidelines. Such a comparison was possible by consolidating the reports into data tables, considering both quantitative and qualitative data, obtaining relevant insights into their structures and features. Therefore, assertive suggestions were made regarding the Questionnaire for data collection, the Information Model and the Report Model that were designed as suggested structures for the Curitiba Report project.
