Sustainability has never been more critical for DIS researchers. Within the DIS and HCI community, the term has multiple meanings: In sustainable HCI, it frequently refers to ecologically sustainable lifestyles through the design of interactive systems and to sustainability in HCI practice itself. Conversely, community-based HCI speaks of the sustainability of HCI, referring to the longevity of our socio-technical interventions. This workshop seeks to bring together these seemingly diferent conceptions of sustainability to explore their commonalities. Arguably, longevity is important for sustainable HCI, as is ecological impact for community-based HCI. We invite participants from diverse felds, such as sustainable HCI, HCI4D, Community-Based Participatory Design, and Digital Civics to refect on past and current work, develop best practice recommendations, and design sustainability roadmaps to help researchers and designers to conceive, run, and evaluate future projects with sustainability through, in, and of HCI in mind.

“…The underlying scientifc insights are obtained through a variety of methods, often those that involve the presence of community members, like ethnographic (e.g. [4,54,56,73]) and co-design activities (e.g. [19,41,42,60]).…”

Have We Taken On Too Much?: A Critical Review of the Sustainable HCI Landscape

By CHI 2022, ffteen years will have passed since the emergence of Sustainable HCI (SHCI), which now constitutes an important subfeld of HCI. In this paper, we draw on two SHCI corpora to ask: Has SHCI progressed? How has the feld responded to prominent critiques? Have we identifed and adopted constructive strategies for impacting environmental unsustainability? We further show the wide array of competencies SHCI researchers have been called to develop, and how this has been refected in subsequent work. Our analysis identifes signifcant shifts in the SHCI landscape, toward research that is diverse and holistic, but also away from eforts to address the urgent climate crisis. We posit that SHCI has tended to take on far more than it could reasonably expect to deliver, and propose 'Green Policy informatics' as a pathway that enables SHCI to leverage a more traditional HCI skillset in addressing climate change. CCS CONCEPTS• Social and professional topics → Sustainability; • Humancentered computing → Human computer interaction (HCI).

Overcoming divergence: managing expectations from organisers and members in community supported agriculture in Switzerland

Community supported agriculture (CSA) is a producer–consumer union that aims to shift the predominant paradigm in agriculture towards a model based on social justice, fairness, and participation. However, the long-term existence of CSA initiatives, and their ability to build the social capital envisioned by the initiators, can be challenged by a struggle to generate a sufficient income for a fair salary to be paid to the producer. This study aimed to explore the main challenges faced by eight CSAs in Switzerland, along with the pathways they used to address them. The expectations and perceptions of organisers were collected through in-depth photo elicitation interviews, which were analysed using grounded theory. The perspective of members was evaluated using a quantitative survey with 254 responses. The results showed that organisers are often filled with enthusiastic ideas but experience a sense of deflation when they realise that the members follow a more pragmatic approach. The information flow from members to the organisers leading them to new insights for adjustments, is a key component in overcoming divergence between the expectations of members and organisers. Involving members in administration and fieldwork lowers the workload of the organisers and fosters informal social interactions and mutual understanding, which leads to an increase in social capital. Focusing on local embeddedness and co-creation between members and organisers, thus allowing a dynamic evolution of the CSA, was found to be more beneficial for the long-term existence of the CSA than rigidly trying to implement the initial vision of the organisers.
