“…Because in the search process, the visual hierarchy makes it easier to skip irrelevant information so that the subjects can quickly find the target and improve the efficiency of the visual search (Johnson, 2014). Wu and Chen (2009) confirmed that color grouping is one of the most important factors affecting subjects' performance and satisfaction. The visual search efficiency of the navigation icons coded by color is significantly higher than that of the monochrome navigation icon interface.…”

“…Dennis (2008) pointed out through research that using color attributes such as lightness, hue, and saturation to design relevant information can help users identify information and improve search efficiency ( Huang, 2008 ). Wu and Chen (2009) studied 18 GUIs containing color attributes of sofa appearance and found that color grouping was one of the most important factors affecting users’ performance and satisfaction. Previous studies have studied the effect of icon and background color combination and icon and background area ratio on visual search efficiency.…”

Color and spatial layout are important factors that affect users’ icon cognition and play a huge role in the visual search process of icons. Guided by the user’s interactive needs, this paper aims to improve the visual search efficiency of mobile map navigation icons. The mixed design within and between subjects is adopted through the combination of theoretical and experimental research, and the subjective questionnaire method is used to explore the research. This paper explores the visual search problem of mobile map navigation icons based on color coding and layout coding. The experimental results mainly include reaction time, accuracy rate, user experience, and statistical and variance analysis. The results show that the layout of the mobile map navigation icons significantly impacts the user’s visual search. The navigation icons that use color for layout coding have the highest visual search efficiency and better user experience. Among the icons, the layout with regular color distribution and a larger area of the same color has the highest visual search efficiency for users and the best user experience; the visual search efficiency of navigation icons using color for layout coding is significantly higher than that of mobile map navigation icons.Relevance to industry: The user scale of mobile information maps is huge and the usage rate is high, but the large number of navigation icons increases the burden of user information identification and acquisition. As a result, the efficiency of user information acquisition is low, and the user experience is reduced. A clear, easy-to-search navigation icon design can enhance the user experience of the entire product. The results of this research provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the design optimization and improvement of mobile map navigation icons.

“…Cooper [19] and Wu et al [25] state that safety culture affects the attitudes and safety-related behavior of the members of an organization. Fernandez-Muniz et al [26] argue that safety culture affects employees' health and safety perceptions, while Wu and Chen [27] connect safety culture with safety consequences such as injuries, fatalities, and other incidents.…”

BACKGROUND: Many studies are focused on safety culture. There is no study on employees’ perceptions of safety culture in natural health resorts. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to examine the concept of safety culture from the perspective of the employees in natural health resorts in Slovenia. METHODS: The survey was administered to a sample of 268 employees in six Slovenian natural health resorts to measure the attitudes, practices/behaviors, knowledge, and training of employees. RESULTS: The results of the survey did not show a statistical correlation between the employees’ safety attitudes and their age, their level of education and their position within the organization. However, this study revealed significant differences in understanding of the safety measures and selected safety attitudes across six resorts. Similarly, the study revealed significant differences in knowledge and understanding of the safety protocols across six resorts. The results are reflecting higher management safety awareness in selected resorts what could result in an important competitive advantage for a selected organization. CONCLUSIONS: The research provides an in-depth insight into the concept of safety culture, presented through the attitudes, practices/behaviors, knowledge, and training of employees in natural health resorts in Slovenia. Findings contribute to the development of conceptual knowledge in safety science.

“…In this study, the six common colors (white, black, brown, green, yellow, orange and purple, Table. 1) were offered for backrest and sofa body. The study refer to the layout type of itemized color chips, which is divided into some items according to the customized color module parts of product [2], has the best grouping type for customized product color combination selection in search time by users. The interior decoration of the study refer to the sofa style image constructed by factor analysis [1], so as to design four different interior room styles including grand, leisure, taste and vogue styles (Fig.…”

The customized product color interface for the interior decoration is designed to simulate the display of various color combination sofas in the interior of the room. There are 144 color combinations of the spatial image resulted from four the interior rooms and 36 popular color sofas. The image compositing technique is adopted to appear the 144 color combinations of the spatial image on computer screen. This study tests the experience of using the interface by the questionnaire for User Interface Satisfaction (QUIS). The results show that the high grade of evaluation items including wonderful, easy, satisfying, stimulating and flexible for the experience of users. Therefore, the entrepreneur who wants to display the color primarily commodity could using the customized color combination interface with 3D models for consumers to take opportunity to find the appropriate products to meet with the interior room, so as to shorten communication time between entrepreneurs and consumers.
