Social design. Components of a project on home support for the elderly and disabled people

language: french

abstract: Social design, as an expanding business line, covers a variety of approaches, methods and actors. This article attempts to develop the conditions and stages of its deployment, by listing the necessary elements for its elaboration on the one hand and by considering more precisely both ends and means on the other hand. These contextual elements useful for its production are exemplified by a project on home care for the elderly and disabled, called the Resource of Autonomy.
