Tybee Beach environmental supports
Class Project: Service Design: A Systemic Perspective
University: Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD)
Group Members: Laura Matteson, Hailin Chen, Abhishek Khan, Shark Lao, Clair Potter
The goal of this group project was to identify gaps and design solutions for a service of our choice. We chose Tybee Beach Management as our service and after secondary and primary research we discovered the following areas for improvement:
Parking limitations
Coastal erosion
Rule-breaking by visitors was harming the beach ecosystem
Large school events wrecked the beach ecosystem
You can see our entire process in the book below:
Our proposed solution was a new cross-channel (both in person and virtual) check-in system for the beach that would help visitors:
find parking
plan carpooling
understand the reason for rules
participate in ecotourism to help restore the beach
access needed tools and resources to engage with the beach responsibly
