Study on Design Creation from Perspective of Users

Idea Generation of Novel Design
Well-Being Design
To consider the design of the system, a systemic framework from a trans-
disciplinary research viewpoint is necessary. “Humane engineering,” which
includes media and technology based on human centric design, is applicable
to explain such complex and systemic structures of social engineering. We
propose engineering for a human centered society, specifically, “humane
engineering,” and discuss how to integrate determination of quality with
design. Humane engineering is not currently widespread, but it has the
potential to introduce new concepts in creative design in the future. The
concept of human centered design (Cooley 2000; Hodson 2011; Mitsui and
Nagai, 2014) or human centric design is included in humane engineering.
This paper explains social design by humane engineering, from multiple
viewpoints of design domains, including engineering design, information
design, product design, and community design; by including cognitive science
and social science. In addition, social design by humane engineering must
include a value creation process. There is scope for business growth and
education promotion through such a system by providing physical and non-
physical services to people. There are many such cases that can be developed
using a social engineering system (Bohnhoff et al.1992; Taura 2013).
Further, it is important for social design by humane engineering to consider
the quality of the human experience. Thus, design by humane engineering,
beyond previous ergonomics, is expected to develop. Emotional feelings such
as fun, exciting, calm, and comfort, are key criteria for design by humane
engineering (McDonagh-Philp and Lebbon, 2000; Graziosi et al. 2013). A
methodology is also expected to be developed for knowledge based engineering
for creative design, a related area (Boxberger et al. 2012).
Engineering and technology have driven the development of the industrial
society. With the growth of the global economy in the 21st century, the
social structure of industrial society has changed and the production system
has broadened significantly by overcoming geographic limitations. However,
the development of engineering and technology has progressed independent of
the social needs of people, which are determined by diverse conditions,
including the lifestyles of communities in the local areas. There is a large
gap between industrial technology and the quality of people’s everyday life.
To bridge that gap, management of social technology is required with an
integrated view of engineering and sociology.
