“…Context of use has been seen as an important aspect of human factors for many years (Maguire, 2001), but this is not the case when we look at the history of GI. Assumed commonalities such as levels of expertise, software, hardware and display types, between the development and use contexts for GI meant that for many years context of use was in the main, not considered.…”

ABSTRACT:The use of Geographic Information or GI, has grown rapidly in recent years. Previous research has identified the importance of usability and user centred design in enabling the proliferation and exploitation of GI. However, the design and development of usable GI is not simply a matter of applying the tried and tested usability methods that have been developed for software and web design. Dealing with data and specifically GI brings with it a number of issues that change the way usability and user centred design can be applied. This paper describes the outcomes of a workshop held in March 2010 exploring the core issues relating to GI usability. The workshop brought together an international group of twenty experts in both human factors and GI, from a wide range of academic and industrial backgrounds. These experts considered three key issues, the stakeholders in GI, key challenges applying usability to GI and the usability methods that can be successfully applied to GI. The result of this workshop was to identify some areas for future research, such as the production of meaningful metadata and the implications of blurring of the line between data producers and data consumers.

“…Before launching a product, usability testing is conducted to evaluate customer satisfaction and thus is important in a product's success (ISO 9241-11, 1988). Likewise, when customers purchase a product, they can compare its usability to help make their decision (Maguire, 2001). Aspects of dishwasher performance, such as capacity and noise, were evaluated in the effectiveness section and the results providing information and predictability were evaluated in the efficiency section.…”

The aim of this research was to develop a usability evaluation model based on customer sensation using quality function deployment (QFD), which evaluates the relationship between consumer sensation and usability among the physical design factors of dishwashers. Four aspects of the evaluation model were analyzed with QFD: overall sensation factors, detail sensation factors, usability evaluation factors, and physical design factors of products in 3 sequential processes. The sensation evaluation factors and the usability evaluation factors were created from the results of the sensation and usability tests. Moreover, experts and manufacturers were involved in selecting the physical design factors. With the evaluation model using these 4 aspects, physical design factors influencing user sensation were generated. These factors were Label Icon, Rack Size, Shape of Knob, and LCD size. In addition, the degree of influences was tested and design guidelines derived from the final physical design factors were generated. C 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
