Abstract

When influencing behaviours towards sustainable directions, the main focus is on understanding diverse factors that shape individuals’ behaviours, habits and routines of everyday practices, while recognizing the tendencies of individuals to alter these behaviours is often neglected. This paper presents an exploratory graduate research that investigates individuals’ diverse behaviours which are responsible for intensive water use during personal care and hygiene practices in the bathroom, and that also reveals users’ intentions to adopt responsible behaviours. With this purpose, a diary study and interview sessions were facilitated by incorporating various generative tools and techniques. The findings from the study provide guidance for designers and design researchers by revealing behaviour types along with their attitudinal and contextual determinants, user intentions, and design strategies that would inspire and support the exploration of diverse design solutions aiming to influence behaviours for the effective use of water.

摘要

在朝着可持续方向影响行为时，主要关注点是了解影响个人行为、习惯和日常实践的各种因素，而认识到个人改变这些行为的倾向往往被忽视。本文介绍了一项探索性研究生研究，该研究调查了个人在浴室的个人护理和卫生实践中导致大量用水的不同行为，并揭示了用户采取负责任行为的意图。为此，通过结合各种生成工具和技术，促进了日记研究和访谈会议。
