HCD 和 UCD (User-Centered Design)各有哪些区别与关联( 二 )
【HCD 和 UCD (User-Centered Design)各有哪些区别与关联】 Richard Buchanan 有一篇文章说的就是这个事,文章叫 Human Dignity and Human Rights: Thoughts on the Principles of Human-Centered Design。我摘出来一段,逐句翻译一下,能读英文的建议还是直接读英文原文。
In the language of our field, we call this "human-centred design." 用我们(设计)领域的语言来说,这叫「以人为中心的设计(HCD)」。Unfortunately, we often forget the full force and meaning of the phrase and the first principle which it expresses. 不幸的是,我们常常会忘记这个词的含义的全部,以及它所传达出来的首要原则。This happens, for example, when we reduce our considerations of human-centred design to matters of sheer usability and when we speak merely of "user-centred design." 这种情况时有发生,比如,我们会把对 HCD 的理解简化为纯粹的可用性,与我们所谈的 UCD(以用户为中心的设计)无差。It is true that usability plays an important role in human-centred design, but the principles that guide our work are not exhausted when we have finished our ergonomic, psychological, sociological and anthropological studies of what fits the human body and mind.的确,可用性是 HCD 中很重要的一部分,但是 HCD 的设计原则并不只是在指导我们进行人机工程学、心理学、社会学、人类学等方面的设计工作去满足用户的生理和心理需求。Human-centred design is fundamentally an affirmation of human dignity.本质上,HCD 是对「人的尊严」的主张。It is an ongoing search for what can be done to support and strengthen the dignity of human beings as they act out their lives in varied social, economic, political, and cultural circumstances.HCD 意味着要持续地去探索,探索可以做哪些事情来保护并强化生而为人的尊严,这种尊严所表现出来的就是人们在社会环境、经济环境、政治环境和文化环境中的生活。Human Dignity and Human Rights: Thoughts on the Principles of Human-Centered DesignRichard BuchananDesign IssuesVol. 17, No. 3 (Summer, 2001), pp. 35-39
