Il mondo intero è stato testimone dei problemi e degli effetti causati dall’economia globale, riguardanti l’ambiente e l’energia.È sempre più riconosciuto che la sostenibilità e l'ambiente eco-compatibile devono essere ampiamente considerati nello sviluppo della società.Negli ultimi anni uno dei principali problemi riguarda proprio i mezzi di trasporto.Oggigiorno, le macchine sono utilizzate in tutto il mondo e sono diventate il principale mezzo di trasporto non solo nei paesi più sviluppati ma anche nei paesi in via di sviluppo. In questa contesto l’dea del car sharing ha un ruolo fondamentale nella vita quotidiana delle persone assumendo quindi un valore non solo ambientale ma anche di carattere sociale. Allo stesso tempo, il servizio di car sharing ha assunto sempre più una maggiore rilevanza prendendo così forma in diversi paesi e creando in questo modo nuove opportunità alle generazioni future. Prendendo in considerazione il “car sharing" come caso studio, attraverso un'analisi approfondita sul design del sistema del prodotto e servizio per la sostenibilità, la domanda di ricerca formulata è la seguente: come funziona il servizio di "car sharing" in diversi paesi? In questo studio è stata applicata una metodologia qualitativa che aiuta a comprendere al meglio i problemi e i punti di forza della ricerca in modo più dettagliato. Secondo i risultati dello studio e delle teorie esistenti, l'analisi e la discussione presentano problemi e nuovi risultati. La promozione di applicazioni pratiche per la "car sharing" è esplorata attraverso la progettazione di un servizio basato su un'azienda automobilistica. La tesi mira ad introdurre come il concetto di car sharing viene interpretato e applicato in diversi paesi e in particolare in Cina; ma allo stesso tempo propone come sfruttare al meglio gli strumenti di progettazione del sistema prodotto-servizio per sviluppare e ampliare questa tipologia di servizio.

Abstract
The whole world has witnessed the effects and problems caused by global economy, environment and energy. It is increasingly acknowledged that sustainability and environmental eco-friendly need to be widely considered in the development of society. In recent years, one main concern is about transportation, especially vehicles. Cars are used throughout the world and have become prevalent mode of transport, not only in developed countries, but in developing countries, they are also significant. Under this circumstance, the idea of car-sharing has penetrated into people’s lives for its environmental and social purpose. And simultaneously, as the growing recognition of the importance of service, car-sharing service has been widely designed in different countries, which moves forward to new generation and opportunities. Taking “car-sharing” as the case, for the comprehensive investigation and analysis about product service system design for sustainability and other considerations, the research question is formulated as "How does “car-sharing” service work in different countries?" In this research study, a qualitative methodology has been applied, which helps to understand the problems and strengths of the study more detailed. According to research results and existing theories, the analysis and discussion present problems and new findings. The promotion of practical applications for “car-sharing” are explored through service design based on a car company. This thesis aims at introducing the conditions of car-sharing service in different countries, especially in China; and simultaneously proposes how to take advantage of product service system design tools to develop and extend this service.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
