Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 工業設計學系 === 84 === Product deisgn is a process of encoding by means of form to communicationinformation about the structure, funtion, operation, and value of identityof a product. It is inevitably necessary for a user to do decoding task in order to understand how to use and operate a product apporiately. However,many human errors do occur due to the lack of effective design of a product form to communicateadequate safety messages. This study focuses on the recognition of a productform which may express itself better. With thorough investigation of accidents in operating a product, some human errors are identified andcategorized for developing appropriate forms to effectively communicate safetyinformation. An empirical study of product forms was conducted to test someideas of safety-related message encoding in product design. As a result, some guidelines are proposed for designers to design safer products to avoid human errors in operating a product.
