Inclusive design diagnosis based on the ONS scales?

Dong, H.; Keates, S.; Clarkson, P. J.

Abstract

Designing for a wider range of population has recently been propagated by new design philosophies and approaches such as Universal Design, Design for All and Inclusive Design. Compared with the other two approaches, Inclusive Design approach seems to be more practical in that it provides a framework for implementation (Keates et al., 2000). It also features a gradual strategy, which incorporates a user capability range and takes into account the target population. However, the lack of accessible inclusive design information still challenges Inclusive Design practice. In this early stage, Inclusive Design requires proper diagnosis that can address existing problems, as well as explore possible solutions. One of the crucial issues is to find a flexible evaluation method that can map users? capability to product properties and vice versa. The aim of this paper is to discuss the exploration of such an evaluation method and to present its feasibility.
