This dissertation focuses on considering Indigenous standpoints and human-centred design for designing local health systems. Looking at the context of Indigenous Dayak in East Kalimantan, who face challenges living under current health systems in the region, the research sets out to explore how local voices, which are often marginalised, can be included in designing local health systems through consideration of Indigenous standpoints alongside human-centred design. The premise is that questions regarding the better design of local health systems must be answered by local people and include their voices.
The assertion underpinning this thesis is that the inclusion of Indigenous approaches alongside human-centred design can provide a better understanding of questions regarding better design for local health systems. Drawing from qualitative fieldwork conducted in an Indigenous Dayak village in East Kalimantan, this study contributes to theoretical, methodological, empirical, and practical dimensions within its domain. Furthermore, it leverages insights from Indigenous and design scholars to realign the research agenda in health and design, advocating for a localised approach that prioritises the inclusion of local voices, participation, and collaborative efforts.
