Living lab tapajós: a model of landscape and urban planning under approach of open and complex systems theory

Designing an environmentally sustainable, economically and socially better productive territory in the Amazon region is possible through the implementation of a Living Lab, as a co-creation method, where users, companies and researchers idealize and perfect over time, a set of technologies capable of mitigating certain urban or rural problems in an interactive and intelligent way. This research aimed to theoretically model a Living Lab for the Tapajós micro region under the Open Systems Theory approach. The Living Lab Modeling methodology was developed in six (6) steps: 1st stage- Identification and characterization of Living Lab environment as an open and complex system; 2nd stage - creation of the structure, that is, the Living Lab subsystems; 3rd stage- Characterization of feedbacks between Living Lab subsystems; Stage 4 - Living Lab socioeconomic metabolism qualification; Stage 5 - Qualification of the Energy-material Efficiency of the Living Lab System; 6th stage - Proposition of the actions for Living Lab Tapajós. The results culminated in a Living Lab composed of 4 subsystems, the environmental, social, economic and technological co-creationwhere the interaction between them generated with a cluster of thirteen technologies (inputs to the system) for urban and forest / riverine environments and thirteen products (outputs of the system) related to environmental, productive, urban waste, energy and communication issues.
