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. The Significance of Things : Affective User-Artefact Relations

   Author : Viktor Hiort af Ornäs; Högskolan i Skövde; []

   Abstract : Products help people act, but also thrill, excite, and elicit fear, joy and anger. Artefacts are a natural part of people’s everyday lives, sometimes associated with values, dreams and aspirations. While traditional user-centred approaches have focused on efficiency and effectiveness of use, injury prevention etc. READ MORE

6. 4. User-centred design and agile development of IT systems

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

   Abstract : Despite the knowledge on the interaction between humans and computers, too many IT systems show great deficits when it comes to usability. Every day we run into technology that makes our every day life and our work unnecessarily complex and difficult because of the IT systems that are not designed to support our tasks in a usable way.

7. 5. Equilibrium User Centred Lighting Design Towards the development of a lighting design that is individually psychologically, physiologically and visually supportive

   Author : Monica Säter; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Psychological; physiological and visual support.; User centred lighting design;

   Abstract : Why and in what way should daylight and artificial light be designed for the indoor environment in order to fulfil goals about visual comfort and light-related health? When the outdoor and indoor interactions of man, light, colour and space (MLCS) are compared to one other, the spectral component plays the decisive role (Hollwich 1979, p. 90). READ MORE
