“…According to Boronowsky, Herzog, Knackfub, and Lawo (2006) a living lab is more than a digital breeding area; it is a constructed setting of technology, shared by various researchers sharing the same drive, focused on finding the results and helping one another to achieve their goals. Researchers within living labs are restricted to monitoring from the inside what is going on.…”

A Living Lab is a new way to deal with community-driven innovation in real-life contexts. The Living Lab concept is fuelled by knowledge sharing, collaboration and experimenting in open real environments. This research explores the sustainable development of community Living Labs within a South African context. The members of rural communities need sustainable development support in order to create jobs and alleviate poverty. In order to do so they need an open multidisciplinary research and systems thinking support environment which is facilitated in the Living Lab environment. The Living Lab approach provides its user group with an opportunity to develop a much deeper understanding of how the various components in their functional environment operate and interrelate. In the research community the Living Lab concept seems to be gaining increasing acceptance as a way to deal with innovation and to get insight into the innovation process. Several Living Labs are currently connected in a network of Living Labs, both in Europe and in South Africa aiming to share best practices and lessons learned. Creating an innovative software based management model for Living Labs for the greater South African region is also part of the research objectives. This paper presents two interrelated frameworks for the establishment of a Living Lab within a South African context. The paper also highlights the important role of holistic Systems thinking in a Living Lab environment.

“…The often mentioned "uncontrollable dynamics" of daily life (Boronowsky et al, 2006) are positioned as an opportunity to realize a certain innovative potential of end users. These cases illustrate how Living Labs deal with these dynamics in practice; in order to realize "the Living Lab", in practice Living Labactors can be seen to actually configure the daily life setting so that "uncontrollability" and unforeseen ideas and uses of technological artefacts(-in-the-making) are precluded or not recognised in practice.…”

“…16 "A further challenge with regards to integrating members of the society into Living Lab research and development is to be found in creation of methods and business models for the stimulation of individual 24 Chapter 1 degrees to which users are in the lead of processes (Almirall & Wareham, 2009) and questions of how best to elucidate user needs through co-creation (Ståhlbröst et al, 2009). 17 One matter that does unite the myriad of proposed methods of user involvement is the idea that involvement should take place in daily life contexts (Almirall, 2008;Björgvinsson et al, 2010;Boronowsky et al, 2006;CoreLabs, 2007;Herselman, Marais, & Pitse-Boshomane, 2010;Hess & Ogonowski, 2010;Kviselius et al, 2007;Mulder, 2012;Pallot et al, 2010;Santoro & Conte, 2009;Schumacher & Feurstein, 2006;Schuurman, Lievens, De Marez, & Ballon, 2012;Sørensen & Nicolajsen, 2009;Ståhlbröst, 2008;Tang & Hämäläinen, 2012). Situating the design and testing of technological artefacts in "uncontrollable" daily life settings transforms mundane environments into experimentation areas where the unexpected ideas of users and interactions between users and technological artefacts lead to new ICT products and services (Boronowsky et al, 2006).…”

Situating the design and testing of technological artefacts in "uncontrollable" daily life settings transforms mundane environments into experimentation areas where the unexpected ideas of users and interactions between users and technological artefacts lead to new ICT products and services (Boronowsky et al, 2006). Keeping in mind the variety of methods used in these environments and the challenges to the approach noted above, an interesting question is how these experimentation areas exactly take shape and how user practices in these daily life contexts inform technological development processes.…”

“…Daily life contexts become experimentation sites, where efforts are made to establish "a structured and constructed social setting that is created with a specific purpose in mind and in which the unpredictable, indeterminate and uncontrollable dynamics of daily life are the principle determinants of innovation" (Van Lieshout, Limonard, & Ballon, 2006). The Living Lab thus also comprises a setting; a setting that affords "experimentation environments in which technology is given shape in real life context and in which (end) users are considered co-producers" (Ballon et al, 2005: 13); "a setting created with specific targets and a clear structure but at the same time dealing with the uncontrollable dynamics of daily life" (Boronowsky, Herzog, Knackfuß, & Lawo, 2006) and "a co-creative environment for human-centric research and innovation on a web 2.0 type platform" (Schumacher & Niitamo, 2008: 133).…”
