In conventional ergonomics, consumer product can be made based on anthropometric data and specific design guideline. However, the product may not satisfy consumers because their emotional preference have not been properly considered in design phase. Therefore, in this study a new chair design process was introduced by which both consumer's emotional need and traditional ergonomic requirement can be satisfied. As a part of the process, the traditional Kansei engineering technique was modified to collect quantitative information of consumer's visual appreciation and physical feedback of various types of chairs. Furthermore, we developed an interface, so called, KADAS(Kamsung Analysis and Design Assistance System), for designers to use the technique in chair design. This software can help designers to understand what should be the most suitable shape in designing items such as seat, back and arm rest, etc. to meet the emotional need of consumers. This software displays the result of modified quantification theory I, and explains how to use the statistics. This study suggested a new approach for ergonomic design incorporated with Kansei Engineering technique. This technique can be also applied to other products by extending the database of KADAS.

Affective aspects of design attributes such as color, Pattern, and texture are important to the overall impression and the success of interior products. Among all the interior materials, wallpapers and flooring materials take up largest construction area and they are main components in creating affective impression for customers. This study aims to investigate the relationship between luxuriousness and related affective variables and design elements of wallpapers and flooring materials. The approach consists of 3 steps: (1) selecting related affective features and product design attributes through a literature survey, opinion of expert panel, and focus group interview, (2) conducting evaluation experiments, and (3) developing Kansei models using multivariate statistical analysis and analyzing critical attributes. Evaluation experiment was conducted using a questionnaire made up of 7-point scale and 100-point scale and 30 housewives and 20 interior designers participated in the evaluation experiment. The result of evaluation was analyzed through principal component regression and quantification I analysis. As a result of analyzing the survey data, the relationship between luxuriousness and related affective features and product design attributes was identified, moreover a optimal combination of the design component was identified. Consequently, it is expected that the results of the study would be a basis of the concept of emotion-based design by giving insights about how customers perceive the luxuriousness and suggesting the optimal combination, and providing specific quantitative design guidelines.

오늘날의 세계는 후기산업사회에서 정보화사회로 급속하게 변화되고 있으며, 시대적 가치기준은 하드웨어 중심의 물에서 소프트웨어 중심의 지와 감으로 전환되고 있다. 이를 바탕으로 소비시장에서는 제품 본래의 물적 가치보다도 인간 중심의 지적, 정서적 가치가 더 중요시되고 있다. 이러한 흐름 속에서 최근의 제품디자인의 환경 또한 급속하게 변화되고 있다. 사용자 및 소비자는 제품의 이미지를 바탕으로 자신의 연출을 통한 감성적 만족을 추구하고 있다. 사용자 및 소비자가 제품을 사용하는 환경을 중시함에 따라 기업들은 소비자의 감성적 요구, 즉 쾌적성, 흥미성, 사용성에 대응하기 위하여 사용자 및 소비자 중심의 제품개발 체젤 전환하고 있다. 즉, 기업활동의 중심이 사용자 및 소비자로 변화되면서 기업들은 제품개발에 있어서 Human Technology 우주로 기술혁신을 전개하는 한편, 디자인 기능을 강화하고 이를 전략적으로 활용하여 디자인 중시형 제품을 개발함으로써 자사 제품에 대한 사용자 및 소비자의 감성적 만족을 도모하고 있다. 이러한 디자인 환경의 변화속에서 제품디자인 부문의 과제는 감성적 디자인의 개발이다. 바꾸어 말하면, 사용자의 생활문화를 중심으로 감성에 대한 체계적인 연구를 바탕으로 감성적 디자인 접근방법을 통하여 사용자 및 소비자가 감성적으로 만족할 수 있는 디자인을 개발함으로써 제품 경쟁력을 제고시키고 기업 이미지를 향상시키는 것이 과제이다. 이러한 배경에서 본 연구는 '소비자의 감성적 요구의 정량화'에 중점을 두고 소비자의 조형 이미지에 대한 실제적인 조사 및 분석 방법의 하나로 잠재적 소비자를 대상으로 소비와 관련하여 감성유형에 따른 제품의 조형 이미지 평가와 선호에 대하여 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 문헌 연구를 통하여 감성과 디자인, G감성과 제품디자인에 관하여 살펴보았으며, 설문조사를 통하여 데이터를 수집하고 통계 프로그램을 통하여 분석한후 그 결과를 종합적으로 해석함으로써 더 유효성이 높은 접근 가능성을 모색하고자 하였다.

The footwear such as socks and shoes is the clothing which are necessary to our life. In this study, clothing comfort of the footwear was carried out by physiological responses and subjective evaluation. As a result, the effect to walking comfort by the height of a heel in female shoes became clear. Then suitability evaluation system of shoes was proposed from the measuring results. On the other hands, the clothing comfort of the hosiery was evaluated from ECG analysis. By this analysis, it became clear that the factor which influences the clothing comfort of the hosiery was the clothes pressure in the hosiery. In the future, plane shape of the foot and solid shape must be considered in order to design the hosiery.

Usability is one of the most important factors that affect customers' decision to purchase a product. Several studies have been conducted to model the relationship between the product design variables and the product usability. Since there could be hundreds of design variables to be considered in the model, a variable screening method is required. Traditional variable screening methods are based on expert opinions (Expert screening) in most Kansei engineering studies. Suggested in this study are statistical methods for screening important design variables by using the principal component regression(PCR), cluster analysis, and partial least squares(PLS) method. Product variables with high effect (PCR screening and PLS screening) or representative variables (Cluster screening) can be used to model the usability. Proposed variable screening methods are used to model the usability for 36 audio/visual products. The three analysis methods (PCR, Cluster, and PLS) show better model performance than the Expert screening in terms of $R^2$, the number of variables in the model, and PRESS. It is expected that these methods can be used for screening the product design variables efficiently.

Today, as technology advances and market competition for products intensifies, the product design to improve customer satisfaction by accurately identifying customer needs is emerging as a very important issue for company. Accordingly, the customer-oriented or customer-centered design that maximizes customer satisfaction by grasping and analyzing customer requirements is in the spotlight as an important design theory. In this study, the customer-oriented design is defined as finding the optimal value of design variable with the maximum overall customer satisfaction while minimizing the difference in individual customer satisfaction responded to various customers from multiple product quality characteristics from the perspective of robust design. Therefore, this study presents a new method for modeling the customer preference structure as the different sets of desirability functions for multiple quality characteristics and proposes a new customer-oriented design approach by applying the desirability functions to Taguchi's robust design process to deal with multi-characteristic design problem. Finally, the proposed method is illustrated with the Kansei engineering design problem of wine glass.

Recently, 'Emotion' has attracted public attention socially and continuously in the fields such as construction, environment, design and products. Also, phenomenological concept of space through the physique in the viewpoint of the human-oriented aspect, namely, body, has been managed as a planned measure suitable for a new era and space. In this study, the author examined and analyzed the verbs and emotional vocabulary about the human body's behavior. The phenomenological space conception through body, i.e, flesh in this human centered point of view is being treated as the suitable planning measure on the new era and space. Though the epochal issue for Emotion is being attempted in many ways in various field such as product and marketing, the approach through the relationship between human and space. Therefore, we would like to see how the Emotion related to the movement that occurs in the space by analyzing the human body movement which is the subject of experiencing the space experimentally and research the characteristic of Emotion and space movement. SPSS 12.0 was used for the analysis to perform the analysis of basic statistics and Factor Analysis, and then to analyze the characteristic and emotional attribute for the experimental analysis. Comparing the activity for the 2 groups' behavior through the analyzed result with the test, active behavior was found to be higher than inactive behavior in the emotional value, and their bodies' motion showed averagely positive value in the emotional aspect; their bodies' motion was presented differently according to the attributes and amount of the people who would experience a specific space. However, the author found that affirmative and active behavior showed emotional aspect more than inactive behavior.
