Abstract:

This thesis is based in the research area of Design for Sustainable Behaviour (DfSB), a field which seeks to reduce the social and environmental impact of products in the use phase of their life cycle. There has been significant theoretical development in this area in recent years, leading to a proliferation of intervention strategies and design methodologies. However, there has been a recognised lack of a reliable means of selecting which intervention strategy to use in a given situation, and a lack of real world intervention case studies generating measurable medium-to-long term reductions i

Abstract:

Engineering changes are unavoidable and occur throughout the lifecycle of products. Due to the high interconnectivity of engineering products, a single change to one component usually has knock-on effects on other components causing further changes. This change propagation significantly affects the success of a product in the market by increasing development cost and time-to-market. As such engineering change management is essential to companies, but it is a complex task for managers and researchers alike. To address this challenge, the thesis at hand investigates the state-of-the-art of resea

Abstract:

Abstract Modern life has increasingly become intertwined with technology, and recent years have witnessed a growth in technologies that support people in, for instance, leading healthier and more sustainable lifestyles. At the centre of this growth has been persuasive systems design, which has been shown to have a positive effect on individuals’ behaviour and their use of systems.

Abstract:

Abstract Health behaviour change is challenging and is addressed by the international community. Many people try to effect change for a healthier lifestyle, but they find it difficult to sustain their new habits. Today, technological applications support people who want to change their behaviour, oftentimes by utilising social influence: The influence of others on one’s behaviour. Social influence consists of different aspects, the particularities of which are often neglected in design. This thesis focusses on the design of the social comparison aspect of social influence.

Abstract:

Is it possible to alter the nature of consumer behaviour towards social responsibility and desirable sustainable products through the design of the “behaviour” of consumer-based -products using an ontological design process? That is using styling or a look and feel design methodology that was originally developed during the 1940’s with the advent of Industrial Design in the United States of America to counter under-consumption. The look & feel of a product provides a perceived expectation with regards to what the ‘product’ does and its meaning, that is to say we have certain expectations whe

Abstract:

Citizen science is a collaboration between members of the public and scientific experts. Within the environmental realm – where citizen science is particularly well expressed – this collaboration often concerns members of the public involved in scientific data gathering and processing at a large-scale to generate data that can subsequently be used by the scientists to improve scientific knowledge, understanding and theories. As these collaborations are increasingly being mediated via digital technologies, the overall aim of this thesis was to explore the potential of user interface design for

Abstract:

Research on interventions aimed to promote energy savings has shown support for direct feedback using in-home displays (IHDs) to reduce energy consumption. These displays are electronic devices that provide real-time energy information and are emerging as an effective tool to communicate with people about their energy consumption. How feedback is presented to people and how they understand the meaning of such feedback largely depends on the design of the display, yet there are relatively few studies that investigate the way in which the display can best be designed to present energy informatio

Food waste is an arguably increasing problem in society, with consumers being responsible for as much as half of all combined food waste. The problem needs to be tackled from all angles, but there is no all encompassing solution for all situations. One context consumers find themselves in is the kitchen at their place of work, where the shared nature of the refrigerator creates situations and problems not found in the home environment. It is for these shared kitchens that this study is focused on providing a physical solution based on The Behavioural Change Wheel (BCW), book providing methods

This thesis outlines the notion of '<i>Disruptive Futuring'</i> as a new design methodology to addressing climate change. It is founded on making a connection between our behaviour as individuals and the environment. Since the publishing of 'Our Common Future' (Brundtland Commission.1987) major bodies have been publicly documenting the damage that climate change is having on the planet. This has been followed by the creation of United Nations Climate Change Conference international incentives including the Kyoto Protocol and national attempts including government departments and NGO projects.

This thesis aims at exploring how a digital health technology solution for incontinence care can be designed to contribute to a circular economy. In order to achieve the aim, a case study is performed with the intention to answer four different research questions. To gather data and information, the study also uses methods such as interviews, surveys, and a l

Abstract:

The development of the human built environment is an essential component to achieving and maintaining a sustainable society. Much has been done to develop tools, techniques and approaches for creating ‘green’ or ‘sustainable’ neighbourhoods yet they rarely demonstrate the capacity to address the wider socio-ecological requirements for achieving success. This paper studies the current approaches to green design and planning, proposes a new approach called Needs Based Design (NBD), and identifies the gaps that exist between the two. Results indicate that NBD is based on a firm foundation, is wid

Abstract:

Abstract The potential of information technologies to enable fundamental and enduring change in individuals’ health and well-being activities has recently gained significant research and policy attention. Moreover, there has been increasing interest in persuasive systems that are designed to induce and influence people to change their attitudes and behaviors. This dissertation consists of five studies, including two qualitative studies and three quantitative field studies (including 616 real users of such persuasive systems), that are closely related and successively build upon each other to j

Esta pesquisa analisou o processo de criação de concepts de projeto para estimular os hábitos nutricionais saudáveis na infância, na perspectiva do design para mudança de comportamento. O princípio deste campo do design é transformar a compreensão do comportamento humano em estratégias para a criação de soluções que impactem positivamente a vida dos indivíduos e a sociedade. A fim de atender aos seus objetivos, o estudo adotou a pesquisa-ação como abordagem metodológica, por meio da qual foi realizado um workshop de codesign.

Abstract:

In this paper, we examine the persuasive design in e-commerce. This is an area with a strong representation of the design elements that can be classified as persuasive (Alhammand & Gulliver, 2014). Despite this, the spread of studies investigating persuasive design elements in e-commerce basically non-existent. We use the PSD model (Oinas-Kukkonen & Harjumaa, 2009) to identify the presence of persuasive design element on four e-commerce sites through quantitative mapping. The quantitative mapping allows us to carry out a qualitative study of the PSD model as a tool for the identificati

Abstract:

Rökning är en ovana som många personer ägnar sig åt, det speglas inte minst på gatorna vart man än går. Fimpar på gator runt om i städer är en miljöbov som sällan uppmärksammas. Trots att det finns allmänna askkoppar för fimparna att slängas i, hamnar de ofta på gatan och blir en fara för djur och natur. Denna studie syftar på att ta fram ett designförslag på hur en omkonstruerad cigarettförpackning, som rymmer cigarettfimpar, kan se ut. Det undersöks även hur en cigarettförpacknings konstruktion kan uppmana konsumenter att inte slänga fimpar på marken, vilket i stort kan ha en positiv effekt
