Abstract
This research aims at clarifying methodological features of Living Labs. For this purpose, we conducted literature reviews and case studies of Living Lab practices in Japan. We then found 5 methodological features such as (1) Long-term participation of users, (2) Users as co-creators, (3) Real-life setting and environment, (4) Multiple stakeholders, and (5) Design by community. In addition, based on the case studies, 7 core components that are important to start Living Lab practices are extracted.
