| Popis: | 103 In primitive society, people used to barter for their required materials. After economic development, the circulation of money has become a trade pattern which is accustomed to the modern economic society. However, the event that a paper clip exchanged for a house in 2006 subverted the ideas that the transactions must be of equivalent value in a trade, and once again let the barter become a trend. The awareness of environmental protection awakes in recent years, and many areas have made efforts on the issue of environmental protection to reduce environmental damage and waste of resources. "Sustainability" has also become an important issue in the field of design. More and more designers are influenced by the awareness of environmental protection, trying to let new products have minimum damage to the environment with many methods of designing. Barter activities are considered as a unique environmental protection means. Through barter, the waste in the eyes of ordinary people becomes chips to exchange for other goods and articles. Those goods’lives will not terminate rapidly due to personal dislike. On the contrary, they could continue to demonstrate their value in different users who continues to show their value. This study interviewed various types of exchangers, who have various levels of bartering experiences, or have the experiences with different goods, to understand how users let the goods which are already out of the mainstream of the market mechanism circulate between people through bartering, a non-monetary transaction. In the last chapter, the value and the connotation innovation of bartering are discussed from different angles and by different cases. By throwing my points, I try to trigger for more valuable discussion about how the concept of cherishing, sharing, and community could be utilized in the thoughts of sustainable design, and enlighten the sustainable design in the future. |
