Lucia Terrenghi, Sriram Subramanian · Electronic workshops in computing · 2009
The paper examines the evolving role of HCI for sustainable development. We claim that HCI is central to the idea of designing for development and sustainability. We therefore propose the idea that researchers in HCI have to strive for a greater balance between attempting to produce global and local knowledge. HCI designs for local knowledge can create case-studies that can be drive and be driven by theories and models that could lead to global knowledge.
