Abstract
Designing scenarios is a hopeful approach for realizing sustainable society. Sustainable Society Scenario (3S) Simulator is an integrated scenario design support environment. The purpose of this article is to discuss the effectiveness of the scenario design support method in 3S Simulator. Here, we employ a backcasting scenario design support method. The key approach of this method is employing logic trees. A logic tree supports backward thinking and structuring ideas into scenarios. We designed “Manufacturing corruption scenario” as a case study. The purpose of developing this scenario is to discuss unsustainable future of manufacturing industry for designing “Sustainable manufacturing scenario.” In the case study, we succeeded in designing the scenario based on the proposed process and two different corruption patterns are derived by constructing a logic tree. Through the case study, we identified the advantages of the design support method of 3S Simulator in structuring the designers’ idea into a scenario.
