What
? is
“Design for Real People, Real Society, Real World ”
06
Design for Real People ─ design based on the special need of each person
Design for Real Society ─ design for a group of people who face similar difficulties
Design for Real World ─ design for a specific situation that the whole world is involved
Direction ▲ unnoticed needs ▲ research that focus on specific group
Since recent Designs are based on the market requirement, human’s real needs have been ignored. However, designer’s social responsibility is to provide solutions when people face difficulties and to make improvement in unwholesome situation. Instead of emphasizing the shape or adding worthless functions, a real helpful design product should truly care about disadvantaged minority and be useful to real people.
Make a Better World.

Interviews
Interview 1 Doctor Have experiences of joining different kinds of free clinic
▲ Which department is the most popular one in the free clinic? Department of Family Medicine and the ear-nose-throat are both very popular. Dentist treatment is also very important.
According to your experiences, which kind of treatment you do is common? Which is not? ▲
People in remote area are usually faced the problem of occupational injury, such as muscle ache or cataract. As a result, we give them medicines which can sooth the pain very often. On the other hand, healing trauma is the least thing we do. Only when they get hurt by chance during the time the free clinic opened they will come to us for a treatment. ▲ Any other matter needing attention? Different disease happened in different area is related to the sanitation. For example, Taiwan's sanitation is better than Southeast Asia, than we do not have to worry about the disease like malaria too much. General free clinic is different from those free clinic with special purpose. If the clinic is aimed at the earthquake, or the tsunami, the equiptments and medicines we bring will be more specific.
24
Interview Interview 2 2 Pharmacist Pharmacist First time Firstjoin time join the free theclinic free clinic
â–˛ In all the medicines, which kind of medicine has the bigger need? In general, we dose our patients the anti-inflammatory and the anodyne the most, but for children they usually need some medicines for cold. And for the dentist, their biggest need of medicine is the anodyne for the treatment. â–˛ Anything inconvenient? Storage and searching. We have to storage all medicines into the box rapidly so that we can move to next tribe soon. For that reason we just throw everything into the box, that makes us hard to find specific medicine when we open the box again. If we have a box or something that helps us to storage and search those drugs easier, clearer and faster, it will be good.
