“…On a linear hierarchical format, this combined model indicating these elements can be represented as shown in Figure 7. When designing a gameplay experience with intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli as a focus, the designer must integrate actions, challenges (Heintz, 2012) and achievements (Juho Hamari & Eranti, 2011) in the gamification design process. This would enable the creation of an engaging gameplay experience in a "gamified" application.…”

“…Based on prior definition, goals represent an end state of achievement, actions represent steps taken to reach goals, challenges represent inherent tasks or obstacles within the system on the path to achieving said goals, and achievement represents the act of reaching ones goal (Deterding, 2013).

“…A player, on the other hand, progresses from the outermost ring, the perceived layer of fun, which is what a player can see and experience in terms of audio, visuals, interface design, tangible interactions (game design process layer) and intangible experiences. These experiences (game experience layer) are assimilated into a gameplay through actions, challenges (Heintz, 2012) and achievements (Juho Hamari & Eranti, 2011) which encourages the player to be engaged in the game, influencing a motivated behaviour of the player. Unless the player experiences motivation through fun to play the game system, there is no effective gamification.…”

First and foremost, I take this opportunity to sincerely thank Dr. Lennart E. Nacke, to whom I am deeply indebted for taking the chance on an industrial designer and including me in his interdisciplinary team. I am grateful to him for inspiring me about gamification and giving me the confidence to discover the researcher in me. Despite hectic schedules, I thank him for finding time to encourage, inspire and guide me through this extremely difficult quest of a PhD. I thank him for the gift of forbearance, fortitude and the strength in persevering on a task and to never give up.I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Pejman Mirza-Babaei for taking me on as a student and inspiring me with the correctness of story-telling, methodology and method. I am grateful to him for investing the time to critically review my work, at times on short-notice, and forever instilling in me the essence of weaving an underlying theme within my thesis.

Eco-Gamification Platform to Promote Consumers’ Engagement in the Textile and Clothing Circular Value Chain

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The textile and clothing (T&C) value chain is one of the most polluting in the world and one that produces the most waste. It is, therefore, important to encourage the circular economy (CE) model in this sector to reduce pollution, mitigate the effects of waste production, and, consequently, increase environmental sustainability. Leveraging end-consumer engagement in a CE mindset in the T&C sector is crucial, as they are the last player in a typical linear value chain. Therefore, a platform that supports and promotes sustainable tasks to manage one’s fashion products, through the use of gamification techniques, can be of utmost importance. In this article, we identify impactful carbon footprint consumer actions and solutions for the T&C consumer phase. After that, we survey gamification frameworks for analyzing techniques, at the system design level, which enable the engagement of the final consumer in the CE process. Then, we select and use one of such frameworks, Gameful Design Heuristics (GDH), for defining the gamification structure needed to implement on a business-to-consumer-to-consumer (B2C2C) context of a circular economy process, linking it to the aforementioned actions and solutions. As result, we present a B2C2C circular business process model for the T&C value chain and propose the design model of a gamified platform for the final consumers, which allows them to register the consumer-to-business (C2B) and consumer-to-consumer (C2C) activities, from the circular value chain’s business process, and benefit from a game-like experience. All the model features have been mapped to the GDH framework heuristics, validating that it is possible to support a set of defined heuristics of applied gamification for promoting CE in the T&C value chain.
