Sustainable information system design and the role of sustainable HCI
Tobias Nyström, Moyen Mohammad Mustaquim · 2014
Sustainable Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is a heterogeneous developing field of research, typically focusing on persuasive system design to influence users to behave and live more sustainably. So far this change of behavior towards sustainability has been limited more or less within the scope of environmental topics. This paper extends the notion of sustainable HCI beyond the ecological sphere of sustainability. This paper has followed a previous research work in which sustainable system design principles were formulated without explanation of how to practice them in a system development process. Design principles originating from HCI design principles are an approach to showing how they could influence the classical system development life cycle to produce a sustainable system. A theoretical framework is proposed to explain this. Then sustainable HCI is redefined from the perspective of different parameters associated within the universal design concept from HCI.
