Study on Qualitative Design Process

对日本和国外定性设计过程的先进案例进行了研究，分析了定性设计方法。为了从整体上理解定性方法论，本文选择了通用设计(UD)(在欧盟，包容性设计(IND)作为同一概念)作为欧盟、美国和日本的比较研究的案例研究领域，因为通用设计是基于以用户为中心的方法，并广泛使用这种方法来理解用户。然后调查了UD和IND之间的关系，以了解其异同，以便更详细地了解。作为一项深入的案例研究，本研究于2005年10月通过联系以前的研究伙伴对55个项目中的12个定性设计工具实例进行了调查。结果，确定了研究目的和所用工具之间关系的重要性。根据前一年的实地研究，为用户理解和设计过程创建了洞察图模型和定性设计过程模型，并在2006年京都第二届国际通用设计会议(IAUD)上提交了该模型。在上述研究即将确定定性设计方法学的基本过程和机制的同时，对个别设计工具进行了调查，以揭示模型模式的使用和目的。在海伦·哈姆林中心的日志设计工具案例研究中，从使用、方法、输入过程和信息输出的角度进行了调查。对日志工具的使用进行了建模。对于图像卡，分析了所选卡片与关键词、脑电波模式、脑血压、心率的关系，以了解使用和不使用的人之间的差异，结果发现有意义的差异。

Advanced case studies of qualitative design process in Japan and overseas were investigated to analyze qualitative methodology. In order to understand qualitative methodology in holistic way, Universal Design (UD) (and in EU, inclusive design (InD) as same concept) approach was selected as a case study area for the comparative study among EU, US and Japan, as UD is based on user centered approach, and using such methods widely to understand users. The relationship between UD and InD was then investigated to understand similarities and differences for detailed understanding. As an advanced case study research, 12 qualitative design tool examples were investigated out of 55 projects carried out in years between 2000 and 2005 by contacting former research associates for interviews in October, 2005. As a result, the importance of the relationship between purpose of research and used tools was identified. An insight map model and qualitative design process model were created for user understanding and design process, based on the field research in the previous year, and were presented at The 2nd International Conference for Universal Design in Kyoto 2006 (IAUD). While the above researches are about to identify basic process and mechanisms of qualitative design methodologies, individual design tools were investigated to reveal model pattern usage and purpose. Logbook design tool case studies at the Helen Hamlyn Centre, were investigated from the viewpoints of usage, method, input process and output of information. The usage of logbook tool was modeled. As for image card, the analysis of the relationship between selected cards and keywords, brain wave patterns, brain blood pressure, and heart beat were carried out to understand the differences between people who use and do not use, and meaningful difference was identified as a result.
