The questionnaire measures: (a) shopping experiences including frequency, types of stores frequented, past shopping experiences, and overall satisfaction; (b) perceived importance of store features; and (c) demographics. An open- ended question concludes the questionnaire and findings from the qualitative data are presented. Exploratory factor analysis was performed on the scale measuring perceptions of retail store features. Three factors were identified: store ambience, store accessibility, and service quality. In addition, t-tests were conducted to compare the importance of retail store features as perceived by male versus female and by urban versus rural respondents. Based on the findings, the researchers discuss implications for academics, policy makers, and practitioners in the related fields. Keywords Inclusive retail design, shopping experience, visually impaired Visual impairment Vision loss is a detrimental effect of aging that impacts physical, social, and psychological aspects of people’s lives [30, 35]. Approximately 3.6 million Canadians are diagnosed with disabilities, including 648,000 people with visual impairment or blindness, many of whom are elderly [21]. In the U.S., more than 3 million Americans over age 40 live with blindness and low vision [32, 33]. Without a doubt, the prevalence of eye disease increases with age; the American cohort with blindness or low vision may reach 5.5 million by 2020 [32]. Using North American criteria, blindness is defined as the maximal visual acuity in the better eye being equal or less than 20/200, while low vision is classified as maximal visual acuity in one eye equal or less than 20/40 [27]. It is important to note that only a small fraction of the Canadian population is blind; the majority of visually impaired persons live with low vision [27]. As a rule, most people adjust reluctantly to predictable changes in vision as they enter middle age: they purchase reading glasses to compensate for the inability to focus on small print, need increased light levels for improved contrast perception, and find it more difficult to drive at night 790 PAPERS due to hindered glare recovery from oncoming headlights [9]. However, with advancing age, other serious forms of eye disease and vision loss may occur, including macular degeneration, which typically impacts central vision; cataracts, which manifest as reduced glare recovery and decreased visual acuity; glaucoma, which initially presents as a loss in peripheral vision; and diabetic retinopathy, whose symptoms include overall decreases in visual acuity, colour perception, and the ability to adapt from dark to light [10, 16, 36]. Some of these symptoms may be improved with surgery or medication [35] and resulting vision loss may be offset by using handheld magnifiers, specialized glasses with tinted filters to reduce glare, large print computer software, voice synthesizers, and audio books or other talking devices [10]. Loss of vision correlates to reduced quality of life [1, 23, 29, 30, 35]. Persons with visual impairment have an increased risk of falls and associated injuries (e.g., hip fractures), medication mistakes, social isolation, and depression [9, 23, 35]. These issues have critical significance now that our society includes more than 4.6 million Canadians over the age of 65 [39]. Inclusive retail design Traditional design processes for products and the retail environment focus primarily on the mainstream market, with little attention to the needs of aging baby boomers and the disabled community [13, 25]. As people are living longer [38] and more people are living with some type of disability [20], incorporating universal design principles into design practice has become increasingly necessary. Inclusive Design (sometimes referred to as Universal or Accessible Design) is defined as “the design of all products and environments to be usable by people of all ages and abilities to the greatest extent possible” [40]. Market accessibility is one of the key principles of Inclusive Design [11] and forms the core justification of this study. Over the last 25 years, society has become more aware of the barriers facing people with special needs. For example, since the Canadian federal

  • Accessibility Through User-Centred Design and Inclusive Design Processes
    ACCESSIBILITY THROUGH USER-CENTRED DESIGN AND INCLUSIVE DESIGN PROCESSES 2014 Richard Herriott Side 1 af 3 This PhD dissertation addresses the subject of accessibility through user- centred and Inclusive Design processes (ID). The project takes as its starting point the observation that the concept of Inclusive Design is not adequately delimited. The supporting literature in the field of ID is structured around the fact that the needs of individuals with reduced capabilities compared to the norm (referred to for convenience as "the elderly and disabled") have not been properly addressed by standard design processes. In response to this fact, ID is a proposed design method to find more effective means to improve the usability of consumer goods. The method focusses on using a wide range of techniques to identify user needs, chiefly deployed at the start of the design process but also emphasises involvement at middle to final stages. The research question that this dissertation is centred upon is: can ID be delimited by examining design for accessibility in the areas of assistive technology (AT) and public transport (PT) with reference to consumer product design? Whilst a considerable body of literature exists on why ID should be done (technical and ethical reasons) and on methods to achieve this aim, there has not been made an attempt to define the limits of ID methods. No process or design method is universal. There is a means, ID, and an objective or end, accessibility for a much broader range of users but in existing literature the means and ends are not disentangled. Whilst accessibility is a constant requirement, the methods outlined to achieve this end are presented on the assumption that approaches intended for design for mainstream consumer products are universally applicable.

  • What Is Universal Design…Inclusive Design…Design-For-All?
    What is universal design…inclusive design…design-for-all? …a framework for the design of places, things, information, communication and policy that focuses on the user, on the widest range of people operating in the widest range of situations without special or separate design. Or, more simply: Human-Centered design (of everything) with everyone in mind Universal Design Principles: Equitable Use: The design does not disadvantage or stigmatize any group of users. Flexibility in Use: The design accommodates a wide range of individual preferences and abilities. Simple, Intuitive Use: Use of the design is easy to understand, regardless of the user’s experience, knowledge, language skills, or current concentration level. Perceptible Information: The design communicates necessary information effectively to the user, regardless of ambient conditions or the user’s sensory abilities. Tolerance for Error: The design minimizes hazards and the adverse consequences of accidental or unintended actions. Low Physical Effort: The design can be used efficiently and comfortably, and with a minimum of fatigue. Size and Space for Approach & Use: Appropriate size and space is provided for approach, reach, manipulation, and use, regardless of the user’s body size, posture, or mobility. [Developed by a group of US designers and design educators from five organizations in 1997. Principles are copyrighted to the Center for Universal Design, School of Design, State University of North Carolina at Raleigh. The Principles are in use internationally.] Relationship between Legally Mandated Accessibility & Inclusive Design Legally mandated requirements for accessible design, within a civil or human rights context, provide a vital basis for autonomy and equal opportunity for people with disabilities.

  • INCLUSIVE DESIGN Topic Leader: Professor Nicholas J
    INCLUSIVE DESIGN Topic Leader: Professor Nicholas J. Ward Assistant Professor Bernadette McCrory Associate Teaching Professor Frank Marchak Assistant Teaching Professor Maria Velazquez Definition It is socially responsible to design products, services and systems that are responsive to the needs of most people. Such design should also be compatible with the culture of user communities and sustain their local environments. In this context, Inclusive Design1 is an intentional process to involve all relevant user communities in the design process to create solutions that provide usable and meaningful access to products, services and systems for most people .2 Successful Inclusive Design can improve quality of life amongst diverse user communities in a way that respects their local culture and protects the shared environment. Inclusive Design can produce a single solution by integrating features to address the needs of diverse user communities. For example, this staircase integrates steps with ramps for access by users requiring wheelchair. Inclusive Design can also produce a single solution with special features to include a target user community but is also usable by other users. For example, Oxo Good Grip3 is a utensil design with oversized handles for arthritic users to comfortably operate them, which is also comfortable for other users.4 1 “Inclusive Design” originated in Europe and primarily focuses on the design of technology and considers all forms of exclusion. The related term “Universal Design” originated in the USA and primarily

  • The Economic Explanation of Inclusive Design in Different Stages of Product Life Time
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING DESIGN, ICED19 5-8 AUGUST 2019, DELFT, THE NETHERLANDS THE ECONOMIC EXPLANATION OF INCLUSIVE DESIGN IN DIFFERENT STAGES OF PRODUCT LIFE TIME Li, Fang (1,3); Dong, Hua (2) 1: College of Architecture and Urban Planning, Tongji University; 2: College of Design and Innovation, Tongji University; 3: Institute of International Exchange, Shanghai Open University ABSTRACT The static data obtained from user research are not sufficient to accurately reflect the change of the user's needs and capabilities in different contexts. Not paying enough attention to the economic feasibility of design solutions makes inclusive design face challenges in commercialization. In this paper, the user's demand is regarded as a function of the dynamic interaction between the user's characteristics and the environment. The inclusion problem is defined from an economic perspective. By distinguishing the stages before and after the delivery of a product, different economic properties of the product are defined. Then the two stages are analysed from the perspective of investment and consumption respectively, and the competition criterion of inclusivity distribution and the reasons for exclusion are deduced. According to the causes of different problems in the two stages, the research direction of inclusive solutions is pointed out, and the economical sustainability of inclusive design is analysed. This paper emphasizes that the goal of inclusive design lies not only in the partial and temporary elimination of exclusion, but also in how to distribute the freedom of choice.

  • User-Centered Approach to Product Design for People with Visual Impairments
    https://doi.org/10.24867/GRID-2018-p33 Original scientific paper USER-CENTERED APPROACH TO PRODUCT DESIGN FOR PEOPLE WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS Monika Rastovac 1 , Jurica Dolić 2 , Jesenka Pibernik 2 , Lidija Mandić 2 1Q-Bit d.o.o., Zagreb, Croatia 2University of Zagreb, Faculty of Graphic Arts, Zagreb, Croatia Abstract: The aim of this research was to investigate the application of the user-centred design process to the design and development of a product and it’s packaging suitable for people with visual impairments. The product and packaging had to be accessible to stakeholders on both sides - not only to visually impaired end users but also to the workers with visual impairments in the production process. The accessibility features had to function in conjunction with other presentation and functional requirements of the product and packaging. In order to adapt the design for people with visual impairments, research of optimal design process was conducted using combination of contextual design with other user-centred methods. Rapid prototyping was used to create full-scale physical packaging models and product moulding tools for evaluation. Additional subjective evaluation using semantic differential was carried on users without visual impairments to establish the perception of pragmatic and hedonic quality of the packaging. Key words: packaging, product design, visual impairment, Braille, user-centred Design, contextual design 1. INTRODUCTION User-Centred Design (UCD), which is a subset of Human-Centred Design (HCD), is an approach to design of interactive products in which the deep understanding of users’ needs and potentials presents a key factor for design decisions throughout the design process.
