Design research can identify sustainable innovation opportunities by assessing user needs, new technologies, and sustainability issues. The former International Council of Industrial Design (ICSID), now the World Design Organization (WDO), redefined design: "The goal of design research is to improve people's experience of products, systems, services, etc. In terms of full life cycle design (LCA), eco-design, and green design, it has now interfered with the whole sustainable development process (Table 1) 7. Integration, synergy, and practice characterize the design research. Design studies approach limited earth resources from a design viewpoint 6. The UN conferences, "America by Design: Science, Technology, and the Rise of Corporate Capitalism," and "Design for the Real World" may have preceded design studies' emphasis on sustainable development. Government decision-making and company transformation route selection will depend on sustainable industry transformation pathways. In such a scenario, this research thinks that directing the growth direction of leading industries in the area and encouraging regional industrial structure rationalization would directly affect the region's future development. At the 1972 United Nations Seminar on the Human Environment, sustainable development (SD) was explicitly debated to address resource restrictions, severe environmental pollution, and ecosystem destruction 5. Ecological civilization creation requires finding a synergistic regional economic, ecological, and socially sustainable development model. Regional eco-industrial clusters are limited by the established industrial base 4. The development stage with the gross domestic product (GDP) as the primary assessment target has shown us that the unlimited claim on natural resources, the obsessive pursuit of GDP, over-exploitation, and a series of economic-only development approaches typical of the crude quantitative growth of economic development have caused a severe waste of ecological resources and can no longer adapt to the idea of sustainable regional economic development 3. Humans have paid high environmental costs in exploiting and modifying nature due to the fast rise of the world population and the quick development of science, technology, and industry 1, 2. Huaihua City, as a representative region of the less developed southwest region in China, designs a sustainable industrial transformation and upgrading path by providing a theoretical basis and quantitative measurement criteria for the sustainable transformation of regional industries. The design study has promising implications for the sustainable transformation of major regional industries since it is an interdisciplinary, collaborative, and methodical type of research. ![]() A system based on quantitative data criteria and hierarchical analysis was built to choose top regional industries. Huaihua City's ecological footprints, human development index, and ecological welfare performance are used to evaluate the region's industrial base. Huaihua, a prefecture-level city in Hunan Province, China, serves as a case study for this investigation. The regional industrial base dictates the upgrading route for sustainable transformation. This evaluation may be thought of as a precondition for transformation. This study combines relevant theories and methods from economics and ecology to investigate design-driven transformation and upgrade paths for the long-term success of regional industries in the context of sustainable transformation, drawing on the design research literature's emphasis on sustainability, synergy, and a systemic approach. ![]()
