社会基盤整備におけるHCDの実践と研究の展望

抄録

One of the most promising fields for Human-centered Design is public infrastructure. As Japan's government stipulated, "Human-centered society enabled by highly innovative ICT," the way to achieve this goal has been discussed. The authors review research and activities in the infrastructural planning area by four provisional patterns and discuss the future direction of the research and development. The patterns include (1) improving usability, (2) improving user research, (3) introducing HCD in the planning phase, and (4) introducing HCD in the whole project cycle. The discussion aims to accelerate the research and development in infrastructural planning by clarifying the achievements by these patterns.
