Summary: | 碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 工業工程與管理系所 === 97 === Scenario-based design is one of often-used design methods. It uses scenarios as the main design representation in the product or system development, and describes use situations in use-orientation. The definition of scenario is users’ story, the description of users’ activities. Scenarios are used in design process to help describing situation, discovering user’s needs, envisioning the future, and as a communication tool. But there may be some pitfalls when using scenario-based design, including incompletion, decision bias, hardness to handle, and reuseless.
For the problems described above, the researcher believes that they can be improved by the characteristics of database, so this study tries to propose a scenario database structure. In the beginning, a scenario descriptive structure was proposed in the basis of Activity Theory. To verify this structure, the researcher uses in-depth interview with 6 motorbike users to gather their experiences and thoughts about their activities. Through a series of analysis in qualitative research method, especially the Grounded Theory, this study has found key factors affecting activities, and interactions and affections among these factors from these data. As a result, these findings are used as the guidelines of the scenario database design and a scenario database structure is proposed. The proposed structure could be used as the description and record of scenarios, and the guidelines of user interviews
