Özet:

The search for solutions to social, economic, and political problems arising from the inadequacy of environmental policies and whose daily consequences are becoming more and more visible has started to be discussed louder in the field of design. Designers who participate in the design activism movement with the ideal of a more habitable environment and show an activist approach come together with different perspectives to contribute to similar problems. Subject-Oriented Design is a title that summarizes the search for solutions to issues in various fields, especially by designers who come together on digital platforms, which has not been extensively studied in the design literature previously. After the global pandemic that took hold of the whole world in 2020, the rapid normalization of digitalization in communication has noticeably increased environmental activist movements on digital platforms. In this study, the historical development of activism in design is summarized and digital platforms where activist designers from different specialties come together to solve a common problem have been examined in detail. Besides, in the development of activism in design in digital platforms, the concept of subject-oriented design is defined to the reader. The opportunities provided by Subject-Oriented Design in terms of activism through digital platforms were evaluated.
