摘要: Abstract Environmental technology provides useful tools for enhancing regional sustainability. The successful development and adoption of new technologies, however, requires a model which includes social elements. We argue that an optimal platform sustainability is constructed by using life-based design, i.e. design where the requirements users, local human culture, are taken into account. Our argument illustrated means case study, we investigated how Finnish farmers in Karjaanjoki River catchment area adopted environmental they adapted these technologies to their specific ways life. conclude proposing order effectively promote sustainability, should be construed as elements processes, features actualized adoption.
