STRAYS IN INDIA
A research project to study the failure of stray sterilization in Pune city, India.
5 months | Jan 2015 - May 2015
Academic | Research Project
MIT Institute of Design | Interior Space and Furniture Design | Pune, India
Project Objective
The aim is to study the conditions of strays in Pune, the efforts made to solve the problem, and research the reasons for the failure of the system. The project studies the structure and purpose of the system, its subsystems, their interdependence, and the wide impact the issue of stray dogs has on citizens, the organizations associated with strays, and the government's steps to curb the issue.
How might we
recognize and leverage gaps in the sterilization process of stray's in India, to ensure a smooth, quick and efficient process in governmental organizations?
Qualitative Ethnographic Research
Site visits to the government-owned and privately owned animal-control organizations
Types of Organizations: Comparative Analysis
Process of Sterilization
Ecosystem Map
Areas of Design Intervention
Disorganized Systems
There is a dire need of organization-wide communication channels, better systems for digital documentation, and standardised, agile protocols
Lack of Funding
Efforts need to be made for gathering financial support for requirements like better facilities, appropriate salaries for employees, and providing quality healthcare for sterilized dogs.
Awareness Campaigns
Awareness Campaigns for citizens to introduce advantages of sterilized dogs coming back to their neighborhood, utilization of dogs as service dogs for differently-abled, security dogs, etc.
