ABSTRACT

Increasing numbers of older individuals in the societies pose great challenges for countries affected by the demographic change. The rapid development in the technological sector, on the other hand, enables various applications to make everyday life easier for older and disabled people and to maintain their autonomy for longer. This study examines the acceptance and privacy perceptions of a video-based technology for lifelogging in home environments among German and Turkish users, using a multi-method empirical research approach. Results expose an overall differing acceptance of using lifelogging cameras between German and Turkish participants and suggest that the consideration of the varying culture-bound demands is necessary. The findings of this study support the understanding of requirements for a successful implementation of a video-based assistive technology in private environments to optimally address the needs of the future users, drawing attention to the important cultural influences that affect its acceptance.

摘要

社会中越来越多的老年人对受人口变化影响的国家构成了巨大挑战。另一方面，技术领域的快速发展使各种应用程序能够使老年人和残疾人的日常生活变得更轻松，并使他们保持更长时间的自主权。本研究使用多方法实证研究方法，检验了德国和土耳其用户对基于视频的家庭环境生活记录技术的接受度和隐私认知。结果揭示了德国和土耳其参与者对使用生活记录相机的总体不同接受程度，并表明有必要考虑不同的文化需求。
