“…In most cases, questions of data management and storage are typically referred to technicians and database administrators. Holeman et al (2017) acknowledged the importance of negotiating values in a participatory process. We argue that questions of data management and guardianship are central values, and thus need to be addressed as part of a participatory design process which acknowledges rights and responsibilities to data of indigenous communities.…”

Within the software engineering community, deciding how to collect, store and use personal data has become about more than just understanding our users. This paper considers ethical data use that includes cultural considerations and data ownership rights. We discuss indigenous data sovereignty as a concept and how it potentially impacts technological solutions that gather personal data from users. We propose an extension to typical user-centred design processes, which we call participatory data design. This incorporates the use of frameworks and tools that specifically focus on managing data within the cultural context it is gathered from. We also present a specific example of how we have used this approach in the context of a data collection project from Māori workers in New Zealand forestry. We conclude with a discussion of the wider implications of this approach.

“…When working with displaced people, PD can be even more challenging; Hussain et al (2012) argues that in order for PD projects to be successful in such territories, designers and organizations in charge need to understand the vast difference between doing this in their developed countries and doing it in such circumstances. For example, challenges include differences in cultural practices, language, location and access, time and effort needed to engender trust and engagement of participants, and availability of materials (Holeman et al, 2017).…”

“…The use of a participatory design (PD) process, also termed 'co-design' has been recommended by several authors for capturing user needs and requirements (Hussain et al, 2012;Luck, 2003). However, there are several challenges for PD implementation especially in cases that involve people from different countries or cultures (Holeman et al, 2017), as is the case of international humanitarian agencies co-designing with local communities.…”

Shelters for the displaced can suffer from socio-cultural incompatibility and significant levels of occupant dissatisfaction. Participatory design (PD) is known to help reduce such issues. This is the first study to investigate the effectiveness of different PD methods at engaging and capturing users' needs for shelter design in refugee camps. It also aimed to identify which visualization tools are best at: engaging participants; communicating designs (e.g. concept, size and materials); and facilitating proposing modifications. This is a particularly large study with 16 workshops and 161 participants. Two PD methods were deployed: (i) design-your-own (where refugees proposed their ideal shelter); (ii) adapt-a-design (where refugees evaluated and modified pre-existing shelter designs). The shelters in (ii) were presented using three visualization tools: computer models, physical prototypes and virtual reality. Design-your-own proved less engaging and led participants to produce designs similar to their existing shelters. Adapt-a-design stimulated more dialogue and was more informative. Physical prototypes facilitated engagement in shelter modifications, computer models proved least able to communicate concepts, while virtual reality was best at communicating scale and size.

“…Researcher-participant power dynamics have always been a challenge in ICT4D work, and with co-design similar challenges arise. Alienation of participants through use of foreign materials [27], assumptions of equal educational backgrounds, and reinforced professional hierarchies have played a role in how co-design projects have been conducted, especially in the Global South. On the African continent, co-design has become increasingly popular which has illuminated the contextual and ethical challenges the application of this method faces [28,61].…”
