Anche se la politica del figlio unico ha aiutato la Cina ad affrontare con successo i suoi crisi economici e finanziarie nel corso degli ultimi cinque decenni, ora è causa di problemi emergenti quando la maggior parte dei genitori sta diventando più anziano, specialmente se si consideri che la Cina attualmente non disponga di una previdenza sociale completa per sostenere la loro vita quotidiana. Lo scopo della tesi è quello di ideare un Sustainable Product-Service System (PSS) per combinare il e-commerce e assistenza domiciliare degli anziani. Con l'introduzione di un sistema, che supporta l’ acquisto online e il servizio d’aiuto a distanza per gli più anziani, è possibile sviluppare un approccio concreta per mitigare i problemi degli anziani nella loro vita quotidiana . La tesi si inquadra nell'ambito del progetto di LeNSin (International Learning Network of networks on Sustainability), in base al Sustainable Product-Service System (S.PSS). Seguendo le 4 fasi di la Methodology for System Design for Sustainability : 1. Analisi Strategica: si analizza il backgrounds degli anziani Cinesi, la lacuna del e-commerce, i limiti e le migliori pratiche per gli utenti; 2. I possibili sviluppi; 3. Sviluppare in dettaglio i concetti; 4. Testare e raffinare i concetti. Con la progettazione e il test delle idee attraverso le diversi fasi, questo progetto dovrebbe sviluppare un design innovativo per gli anziani . E si spera di favorire in futuro una stile di vita benestante che promuova il senso di agiatezza e di indipendenza degli stessi anziani.to promote their sense of affordability and self-independence.

Abstract
While the one-child-policy helped China to successfully tackle the economic and financial crisis during the past five decades, it is now causing emerging problems when most of the parents are getting older, especially considering that currently China do not have a complete social security system to support their daily living. The purpose of the thesis is to design a Sustainable Product-Service System(PSS) to make a combination of e-commerce and elderly people home-based care. By introducing a system that supports online shopping and distance helping service for elderlies, it is possible to develop a feasible approach to alleviate the daily living difficulties for the aging group. The thesis is framed within the LeNSin project(the International Learning Network of networks on Sustainability), based on Sustainable Product-Service System (S.PSS). It follows the Methodology for System Design for Sustainability with 4 phases: 1.Strategic Analysis:analyze the China aging backgrounds, e-commerce market gap, user limits and best practices; 2. Exploring Opportunity 3. Designing concept details 4. Testing and refining concept By designing and testing the ideas through different phases, this proposal is supposed to carry out an innovative design for the senior group.
