Abstract: 

Global bird populations are declining as a result of human activities. The objectives of this research are to characterize barriers to transdisciplinary integration of bird safe design into professional practice, and to identify opportunities to improve technical proficiency among relevant sectors. This study employs a design studio methodology to inform the development of practical and accessible tools for practitioners and governments. Findings of these studio initiatives were informed through a combination of policy, geospatial, and literature analyses, case study examinations, field research, as well as an online survey circulated to relevant professionals across North America, and an interactive online workshop. This research underscores the effectiveness of co-creative design-based methodology in bridging disciplinary siloes in response to complex socioecological challenges, such as mitigating bird collisions and biodiversity loss in cities. To restore ecological networks and sustain wildlife in urban areas, active mitigation efforts, including policy change and outreach programs must be made to reduce the risk of birds colliding with surrounding built structures.

摘要：

全球鸟类种群数量因人类活动持续下降。为识别鸟类友好设计在专业实践中进行跨学科整合的障碍，并发现增强相关行业技术能力的机会，研究以设计工作坊为方法论，结合政策与地理空间分析、文献综述、实地调研、案例研究、面向相关专业人士的在线问卷及互动研讨会等方法，旨在为从业者与政府部门开发应用工具提供思路。研究成果强调了共创型设计方法在促进跨学科协作、减少鸟类碰撞与生物多样性损失等方面的有效性，亟需采取包括政策变革和公众宣传在内的积极措施，以减少鸟类与周边建筑结构发生碰撞的风险，恢复生态网络并支持城市地区的野生动物栖居。
