Decoloniality for Conceptualizing The Future of Social Design

Andi Setiawan

Abstract


The practise of social design is facing challenges with the advent of the rewesternization of the West. This led to attempts to develop future social design concepts free from Western ontologies. This paper offers the possibility of developing a social design concept based on the concept of decoloniality. The literature studies method and empirical observation were employed to formulate the concept. The results of reading literature sources and their comparison with current social design practices lead to the conclusion that the concept of decoloniality is essential to be adopted in social design practice. This adoption will increase the possibility of a sustainable design process for preferable social life and the natural environment.
