Abstract
To ensure that products and services fit in with people's
goals, it is imperative to ask why people would adopt and
use a certain technology in their lives. An analysis of
people's lives, personal characteristics, and living
conditions is necessary to answering this question. In
addition, clear conceptualisations and methodological
models are required in order to describe how such
knowledge of technology design processes might be
applied. A model for a multi-dimensional and holistic
Life-Based Design (LBD) is introduced on these grounds.
This approach emphasises analysis of the role of
technology in human life, that is, facts and values
related to forms of life, as a basis for the creation of
design ideas and for concept design.
