“…The survey results were used to develop scenarios by identifying five representative types of virtual residents. The scenario method is an overall accepted research method in housing studies [ 42 , 43 ]. A feature of this method is that it can effectively predict future life, which suggests the possibility of determining appropriate technology use and the right direction for users.…”

The reduction in face-to-face contact and the increase in time spent at home during the ongoing coronavirus disease pandemic have resulted in increasing interest and demand for smart homes. Further, the rapid increase in the number of one-person and two-person households in Korea recently has led to these becoming representative household types. This study identifies the wellness characteristics of such households and proposes a direction for smart home development to help them lead healthy, happy lives. It focuses on mapping residents’ perceptions and experiences to scenarios and on identifying the functions required in smart homes and the technologies needed to provide these functions. It uses data from a survey to investigate and analyze the wellness characteristics of one- and two-person households in five dimensions and develops five scenarios of representative household types. By analyzing the developed scenarios, this study proposes smart homes that support the wellness of such households in six categories: exercise/sports, hobby/entertainment, social communications, occupation/work, self-development/education, and energy conservation. These households are exposed to digital environments from an early age and are familiar with the internet and technologies. Therefore, they are likely to adopt innovative technologies in housing. Thus, the smart home development proposed in this study is a promising strategic approach to housing planning.

“…Candidate solutions include structured-scenarios [6] or graphics and flow-charts [4]. These proposals certainly help the designer to understand the user requirements, however, they fail to support the management of the links among scenarios, requirements, and UI.…”

Clearly picturing user behavior is one of the key requirements when designing successful interactive software. However, covering all possible user behaviors with one UI is a complex challenge. The Scenario-based Interactive UI Design tool is designed to support the characterization of user behavior based on scenarios and then using the information in UI design. Scenarios make it easy to understand and share user behavior even if we have little design knowledge. However, they have two big weaknesses; 1) integrating several scenarios in one UI is difficult, even if we can create appropriate scenarios, 2) maintaining the links between scenarios and the UI is a heavy task in iterative design. Our tool solves the above problems through its hierarchical scenario structure and visualized overview of scenarios. It enhances the designer's skill in writing scenarios and designing UIs smoothly and easily.

“…In this research, touch point [10] based scenarios [11] were identified based on the interviews and observations of the stakeholders. Contextual interviews [12] were conducted on patients receiving treatment for each touch point at five treatment rooms in the rehabilitation medical centers of five general hospitals.…”

Owing to an increasing number of rehabilitation patients and shortage of professional therapists, various problems associated with ineffective and inadequate care have been occurring at rehabilitation sites. To address this issue, various rehabilitation robots have been developed. However, the development and use of strictly functional and technology centered rehabilitation robots has led to many usage and safety issues at rehabilitation sites (hospitals). Thus, the aim of this study was to determine possible improvements for rehabilitation robots through the opinions and suggestions of the stakeholders via contextual interviews based on usage scenarios as well as to analyze the importance of each recommended improvement through an analytic hierarchy process (AHP). In this study, the usage scenarios of rehabilitation robots were established through the suggestions of the stakeholders (24 occupational therapists, 2 caregivers, 7 doctors, and 4 robot researchers). In addition, user observations (5 times) and contextual interviews (6 hospitals and 10 therapists had participated) were carried out considering the established usage scenario. The major improvements identified through the interviews and observations were determined on the basis of following category: "support and aid tool for the prevention of compensation actions and range of motion are needed." It is expected that rehabilitation robot can be made safe and user friendly by incorporating the improvements suggested in this study.
