Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has overturned the normal world order of life. The pandemic, for some groups in the society, has presented changes in the ways how they are living their life, but for others it presents an additional real life suffering. The communities that suffer more are the vulnerable groups, who are marginalized, underserved, underrepresented, and are struggling in fulfilling their basic needs. This has become a serious problem for a civilized society. Design as a method for finding solutions and innovations in overcoming problems in meeting the needs of human life is required to act immediately that is to be fully involved to provide real solutions. This socially responsible design was raised to be the focus of the discussion for us in order to be aware of, pay more attention to, and be proactive in both research and practice to provide solutions and design innovation for such communities. This is done by conducting this literature study aimed to describe the development of socially responsible design, both in concept and procedure, the areas it handles, and the works it produces. In the final section, recommendations are presented for all of us, so that we all can participate in the great work of socially responsible design.
