碩士 === 中原大學 === 工業與系統工程研究所 === 104 === Global warming is one of the major issue that needs to solved nowadays, countries around the world begin to focus on the arrangement of energy and developing green industry, heading to low carbon society and developing low carbon economic. Global warming gas doesn’t only associate with industries but also associate with people live, therefore living habits should promote sustainable development concepts. According Sustainable Development Strategies report shows that it’s a complicated job for people to change attitude and behavior, the change of attitude and behavior were caused by both inner and external elements, it can’t be change easily with single information. Recently many researches show that through the interactive between men and products, it has big potential economic benefit on changing the user’s behavior. This kind of research is called Design for Sustainable Behavior, (DfSB), in the current DfSB research area start to promote designer can consider DfSB strategies products from psychological level, extend better ways of design, try to change the consumer’s unsustainable behavior and decrease environmental damage that people made. However it is a challenge to decrease the consumers’ sustainable barrier by product design to change unsustainable behavior because product usage behavior involve both inner and external elements on consumer, products and environment. Therefore this research use smart device to collect interrelated data through ecology feedback in Design for Sustainable Behavior and persuasive technology, through community feedback personal usage in electronic information, compare peer and personal usage in electronic information and giving awards at the same time giving questionnaire survey to see the impact on personal behavioral intension of sustainable development and demographic variable. Result shows that different Sustainable Development Strategies, “giving personal usage in electronic information”, “compare peer and personal usage in electronic information” and “giving award” has significant deviation on behavioral intention so it has distinctiveness deviation on consumer actual usage on electronic behavior, further more on comparison giving peer and personal usage in electronic information has the most deviation. This research confirm that The theory of planned behavior has predict ability. At last give feasible suggestions, hope when designing products can follow sustainable behavior course and strategies with the mix on practical application, decrease the barrier of engage sustainable behavior.
