SOCIOCULTURAL SYSTEMS-DESIGN BASED ON COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE FUNCTIONS

For a design, particular processes of the designer's intelligent syste m are necessary. For the design of a sociocultural system the particip ation of many persons and group decision making is also necessary. In this paper the idea is developed that for the design of human activity systems, the formation of collective intelligence and the facilitatio n of the functioning of the intelligent processes involved in the desi gn, improves the designing. The main processes of the design activity and the corresponding intelligent functions are described. Furthermore , these intelligent functions are used in order to design a system of collective intelligence for the design of a sociocultural system. In o rder to demonstrate how this idea is applied in sociocultural systems design, the example of a small community is used.
