对全球淡水短缺所带来的威胁的日益认识，加上CHI研究人员对环境可持续性的兴趣日益增加，使水管理成为新的CHI应用的成熟领域。本文对美国一个缺水地区的做法和态度进行了定性研究。我们将水资源保护描述为一种受各种社会因素影响的文化活动，并表明“可持续性”是一个复杂的概念，充斥着相互竞争，往往不相容的解释和处方。我们讨论了设计鼓励个人保护的界面的影响，并确定环境政策制定是一个成熟的新环境保护活动领域。最后，我们建议，可持续发展有可能从CHI研究的外围转移到整个社区，成为一种激励力量。
Growing awareness of the threats posed by global freshwater shortages coupled with increased interest in environmental sustainability among CHI researchers make water management a ripe area for new CHI applications. This paper presents a qualitative study of practices and attitudes in a water-stressed region of the United States. We describe water conservation as a culturally-situated activity influenced by a variety of social factors, and show "sustainability" to be a complicated concept rife with competing, often incompatible interpretations and prescriptions. We discuss implications for designing interfaces that encourage personal conservation, and identify environmental policy making as an area ripe for new CHI activity. Finally, we suggest that sustainability has the potential to move from the periphery of CHI research and become a galvanizing force for the community at large.
