A Critical Examination of UCD4D Studies
摘要
User-centred design (UCD) has been developed as a useful and effective design approach for designing interactive systems. However, some researchers point out that UCD methods created for the developed world imply assumptions that make them difficult to use in the developing world. The paper presents a systematic literature review focused on user-centered design initiatives for development in rural areas. A comprehensive analysis of 190 publications was conducted in order to systematically and critically examine existing design studies. The results support results from previous reviews and provide deeper insights into existing challenges and underlying assumptions and attitudes.
