许多用户体验设计的研究人员和实践者转向社会科学，以找到理解用户和技术嵌入的社会背景的方法。人种学方法作为实现这一目标的手段越来越突出。然而，在HCI中，非常广泛的社会调查形式在“民族志”的旗帜下旅行，这表明对于什么是民族志以及如何在设计环境中最好地使用它仍然存在相当大的争论。
基于早期围绕民族志及其影响的讨论和辩论，本文探讨了民族志方法如何对设计产生影响。特别是，它说明了可能来自经典人种学材料的设计的影响，并表明这些可能不是HCI研究通常想象或期望的形式。
Many researchers and practitioners in user experience design have turned towards social sciences to find ways to understand the social contexts in which both users and technologies are embedded. Ethnographic approaches are increasingly prominent as means by which this might be accomplished. However, a very wide range of forms of social investigation travel under the "ethnography" banner in HCI, suggesting that there is still considerable debate over what ethnography is and how it can best be employed in design contexts.
Building on earlier discussions and debates around ethnography and its implications, this paper explores how ethnographic methods might be consequential for design. In particular, it illustrates the implications for design that might be derived from classical ethnographic material and shows that these may not be of the form that HCI research normally imagines or expects.
