单把手水龙头有多种把手形状的原因是因为没有设计指南来指导它们的可用性。本研究是为日本TAKAGI株式会社正在开发的新型单把手水龙头制定设计指南。首先，对10种基本手柄形状的可用性进行问卷调查。我们让被试对这些手柄的可用性进行5个等级的评价，并进行比较，找出哪一个成分提高了手柄的可用性。其次，利用基本形状问卷调查的结果，开发了4种高级手柄形状。我们让被试对这些手柄的可用性进行5个等级的评估，并通过我们选择的可能与手柄外观有联系的图像词来评估。此外，我们使用主成分分析找出哪些图像词在手柄的外观与其可用性之间有很强的相互关系。因此，我们能够找到能够提高手柄可用性的组件，以及手柄外观与其可用性之间可能存在强烈相互关系的图像词。
The reason why there are many kinds of handle shapes for the single handle faucets is because there are no design guidelines for their usability. This study is on making a design guideline for the new single handle faucet which is now developing at TAKAGI CO., LTD. in Japan. First, a questionnaire survey on the usability of 10 basic handle shapes was developed. We made the test subjects evaluate those handle’s usability in 5 levels, and compared them to find out which component improves their usability. Secondly, 4 advanced handle shapes were developed using the results of the basic shape questionnaire survey. We made the test subjects evaluate those handle’s usability in 5 levels and by the image words we selected which may have a connection between the handle’s appearance. Furthermore, we used the principle component analysis to find out which image word has a strong mutual relation between the appearance of the handle and their usability. Consequently, we were able to find out the component which will improve the handle’s usability, and the image words which may have a strong mutual relationship between the appearance of the handle and their usability.
