2. 1. Situated Reflexive Change : User-Centred Design in(to) Practice

   Author : Elina Eriksson; Jan Gulliksen; Anna Swartling; Netta Iivari; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; user-centred design; user-centred systems design; organizational change; sensemaking; reflexivity; practice;

   Abstract : Technology used in the Swedish workplace is perceived to be controlling, gener- ally still difficult to use, and with a low degree of usability. Even though the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has been concerned with researching different ways of developing usable systems for at least half a century, there seem to be problems with the diffusion of the results into practice.

4. 2. Usability – Who Cares? : The Introduction of User-Centred Systems Design in Organisations

   Author : Åsa Cajander; Jan Gulliksen; Inger Boivie; Bodil Jönsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; User-Centred System Design; UCSD; Human-Computer Interaction; HCI; Usability; Perspectives; Sensemaking; Communities of Practice; Action research; Interpretations; Organisational change; Work environment; IT systems development; Datavetenskap med inriktning mot människa-datorinteraktion; Computer Science with specialization in Human-Computer Interaction;

   Abstract : This thesis analyses the difficulties encountered in the promotion of usability, especially in relation to occupation health issues, when developing IT systems in a public authority. It examines what happens when User-Centred Systems Design (UCSD) approaches are introduced to organisations with in-house systems development for their employees. READ MORE

5. 3. Creating space for action - Supporting behaviour change by making sustainable transport opportunities available in the world and in the mind

   Author : Helena Strömberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; behaviour change; sustainable mobility; user-centred design; action space; travel behaviour; everyday transport;

   Abstract : The aim of the work presented in this thesis is to contribute to the knowledge of how to create conditions for individuals to change their travel behaviour in a more sustainable direction. Earlier studies point to potential contributions through exploration of the individual’s process of behaviour change, addressing the role of the design of the transport system, as well as investigating the potential effects of enabling structural interventions within the transport system.

6. 4. Inertia in Sociotechnical Systems : On IT-related Change Processes in Organisations

   Author : Thomas Lind; Åsa Cajander; Bengt Sandblad; Marta Lárusdóttir; Netta Iivari; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Human-Computer Interaction; User-Centred Design; Participatory Design; Organisational Change; IT-related Change Processes; Action Research; Inertia; Sociotechnical Systems; Vision Seminars; Datavetenskap med inriktning mot människa-datorinteraktion; Computer Science with specialization in Human-Computer Interaction;

   Abstract : The introduction of new information technology (IT) in an organisation is one way of changing the conditions for how tasks and work processes can be designed and performed, as well as how people in the organisation interact with each other. Today, many Swedish workers rely completely on IT to be able to perform their jobs, while experiencing a combination of continuous and intermittent IT-related changes that affect this ability.

7. 5. Making sense of usability : Organizational change and sensemaking when introducing user-centred systems design in public authorities

   Author : Elina Eriksson; Jan Gulliksen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Datavetenskap med inriktning mot människa-datorinteraktion; Computer Science with specialization in Human-Computer Interaction;

   Abstract : Computers have become an everyday encounter, not at least in work settings. These computers must support the user in order for her to work in an effective and efficient manner. READ MORE
