Study on the Field and Uniqueness of KANSEI Engineering

本研究旨在建立感性工学相关文献数据库，调查感性工学的领域，并以综合考量的方式，阐明感性工学的主题、方法与独特性。该地区的假设是由广泛的工程领域的研究人员为此目的而提出的。收集文献，提取关键词。分析了感性工学领域的结构。收集文献1400余篇，其中包括日本KANSEI工程学会（JSKE）论文370篇，以及韩国KANSEI科学和IEEE的国外文献，重点收集了与纺织服装相关的文献。为关西工程研讨会提供了资料，并收集了有关“关西工程与信息化社会”的信息。对关键词进行了频率分析。对数据库中1120篇文献的研究领域结构和相关性进行了分析。提取了整个研究所和各研究所在感性工学技术和学科方面的领域。这片区域，分为中心区域和周边区域。在中心区域，沿着研究对象的轴的组成是抽象的信息处理，如图像识别和VR，数据分析技术，感性结构模型，感觉，生理测量和舒适性。研究技术的构成沿着轴依次为感官呈现、Agent技术、设计支持、产品设计、感性评价与模型、感官检查、生理测量、物理测量。感性工学的独特性在于它是一门以人文社会科学领域为基础的跨学科的公共工程学。

This research aimed to build a bibliographic database concerning KANSEI engineering, investigate the area of KANSEI engineering and elucidate the subject, method, and uniqueness of KANSEI engineering by the comprehensive consideration. The hypothesis of the area was made for this purpose by the investigators in wide ranging engineering fields. Literatures were collected, and the key words were extracted. The structure of KANSEI engineering field was analyzed. Collected literatures exceeded 1400, which includes 370 JSKE(Japan society of KANSEI Engineering) papers and overseas literatures of South Korean KANSEI science and IEEE.Literatures concerning the textile and clothes were emphatically collected. A material is offered to the KANSEI engineering symposium, and the information gathering concerning "KANSEI engineering and informationalized society" is done. The frequency analysis of the key words is performed. The structure and relevance of the research area of 1120 documents in the database was analyzed. The area in the technique and subject of KANSEI engineering of whole and each academy has been extracted. The area was divided into a center area and the surrounding area. In the center area, the composition along the axis of research Object are abstracted information processing such as Image recognition and VR, Data analysis technique, Model of the KANSEI structure, Sense, Physiology measurement, and Comfortableness. The composition along the axis of research Technique are Sense presentation, Agent technology, Design support, Product design, KANSEI evaluation and model, Senses examination, Physiology measurement, and Physical measurement. As uniqueness, Kansei engineering is an interdisciplinary and common engineering, and contains the humanities/social science areas as a base.
