In the last years the debate related to people autonomy has been investigated in different fields of research and experimentation, starting from the relationship between personal autonomy and well-being, the ability to make decisions freely, the affirmation of one's right of choice, (the right to political participation, access to justice or the right to have a family) for the self-determination development (i.e. legal capacity), but at the same time “autonomy” can be interpreted as a complex result of human relationships, strengthening interaction and opportunity. This is valid for everyone, regardless of their health condition or functional limitations; in fact, no human being can be considered completely “autonomous” since everyone acts in a condition of interdependence with others to varying degrees. This last aspect is particularly significant for people with disabilities, because it affects their active involvement in the life of the community in which they live, and their...

The aim of the criteria for dwellings, surroundings and facilities (services) is to raise awareness and to help the elderly and other parties involved to plan the possible changes in the dwelling. The main users of the criteria will be the elderly themselves and their family when they discuss possible improvements with planners, product and service providers and the representatives of the apartment house companies, co-operation housing associations and the local community. Planners, building companies, product designers and service providers will also benefit from the criteria because through the criteria they will get better understanding of the living of the elderly. The purpose of the testing phase is to test the criteria in concrete situations, cases, covering dwellings, surroundings and service facilities, and representing different countries. The selection of cases was carried out in a systematic manner, considering a number of important parameters. The selection parameters an...

Icons, symbols and pictograms are widely used components of user interfaces in ICT applications and services, eg for navigation, status indication and function invocation. Examples of such applications and services include information retrieval (eg Web sites), messaging (eg email and SMS), public services (eg public telephones and ATMs) and real time communication services (eg fixed and mobile telephony).

The purpose of this document is twofold. Firstly it is to present the teaching pilots that were undertaken by members of the network, and describes the pilot setting and the material taught, as related to the taxonomy of Design for All knowledge and skill sets developed in previous deliverables. Each pilot indicates topics taught and to which categories of the taxonomy they belong. Furthermore, student expectations and reactions to the DfA teaching pilots are described by means of the information gained from questionnaires. In this way ...

ABSTRACT On the one hand, new paradigms, such as Open Innovation (Chesbrough, 2003) and Web 2.0 (O'Reilly, 2004) as well as Living Labs operating as a User Centred Open Innovation Ecosystem (Pallot, 2009), promote a more proactive role of users in the R&D process. However, a number of existing methods for involving users are abundantly described in the literature as reported by Pallot and colleagues (2010) while proposing a domain landscape of research and design methods supporting user involvement in R&D. On the other hand, the Design Creative City Living Lab has deployed the LUPI® methodology (Vérilhac, 2011) for involving all stakeholders, including users, at the earlier stage in opening a specific design lab. The LUPI® main strength consists in the proactiveness on the value creation chain from foresight up to the market (Jégou, 2009). Finally, there is the Design for All (DfA) approach and HUMBLES design method (Aragall, 2012) where products and services are adapted to the needs and wishes of all people, regardless of their differences. This paper briefly explores these different methods and tentatively tries to provide criteria for selecting design methods according to project specific aspects in integrating the DfA approach to meet the needs of all users whatever their differences.

ABSTRACT This paper presents a case study for comparing five different design methods in terms of capacity to engage all stakeholders, including users, in the design process and their impacts on technology acceptance and solution adoption by users. These five design methods have been applied within ten design cases accordingly to the Living Lab approach, which is based on an open innovation ecosystem. The ten design cases were voluntarily chosen from different sectors in order to compare the selected design/LL methods whatever is the project context. The actual findings reveal the complementarity between technology acceptance, which is more induced by an individual perception, and solution adoption, which is more generated through social and trust influences, in forging the appropriation mechanism.
