Participatory design is about the direct involvement of people
in the co-design of the technologies they use. Its central concern
is how collaborative design processes can be driven by the
participation of the people affected by the technology designed.
Embracing a diverse collection of principles and practices aimed at
making technologies, tools, environments, businesses, and social
institutions more responsive to human needs, the International
Handbook of Participatory Design is a state-of-the-art reference
handbook for the subject.
The Handbook brings together a multidisciplinary and
international group of highly recognized and experienced experts to
present an authoritative overview of the field and its history and
discuss contributions and challenges of the pivotal issues in
participatory design, including heritage, ethics, ethnography,
methods, tools and techniques and community involvement. The book
also highlights three large-scale case studies which show how
participatory design has been used to bring about outstanding
changes in different organizations.
The book shows why participatory design is an important, highly
relevant and rewarding area for research and practice. It will be
an invaluable resource for students, researchers, scholars and
professionals in participatory design.
