For the past decade, the rapid development of the ergonomics
disciplines as well as the fast growing economy in the Asian region
have been attracting the attention of the international ergonomics
community. Although East Asia has been changing from a traditional
agriculture-oriented society into a modern industry-oriented
society and its economy covers a great deal of shared interests
across the continents, yet the ergonomics related knowledge and
practice are still in its infancy. Because of the geographic
proximity and a strong historical, cultural and technology
affinity, it is vitally important to maintain good communication
and cooperation among the individuals as well as among the
ergonomics organizations in the region. This symposium, EAEFS, has
provided supporting ergonomics organizations and interested
participants a forum to exchange ideas, build friendship, foster
greater understanding of and among these individuals and
organizations, and develop perspectives concerning ergonomics
issues in this region and beyond.
This volume contains the selected papers presented at the Second
East Asian Ergonomics Federation Symposium (EAEFS), held from
October 4 - 8, 2011 at the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan.
The Second EAEFS, endorsed by the International Ergonomics
Association (IEA), aims to consolidate the established ties within
East Asia and to extend the cooperation among ergonomics
researchers, professionals, and practitioners in the region to
other regions in Asia and the world. Senior scholars and leaders
from Asian countries have shared their wisdom, experience,
insights, and visions on past, current and future ergonomics
efforts in Asia.
The papers contributing to this book address the latest research
and application in accordance with the theme of the symposium,
"Ergonomics in Asia: Development, Opportunities and Challenges,"
and cover the following areas: Virtual Environments & Design,
Aging & Work Ability, Usability & Interface, Biomechanics
& Anthropometry, and Occupational Safety & Health.
