Mathematical Method for Forecasting of Consumers' Purchasing Activity : Fundamental Study based on Kansei Engineering for Package Design to promote Consumers' Purchasing Activity (3)
application/pdfThis paper is a fundamental study with the purpose laying the basic foundation of package design studies, controlling the risk as small as possible on the process developing new package designs, clarifying numerically the design factors of package design exerting the effect on consumers' purchasing activity from the point of Kansei Engineering. In this paper, a new general method to analyze the result of questionnaire surveys concerning consumer's image of package design is proposed. This formulates numerically consumers' purchasing criteria on shampoo containers and fuzzy image of design factors on its package design expressed with linguistic image evaluation based on fuzzy logic. Besides, the mean and variance of these fuzzy design factors and the numerical measure of consumers' taste and distaste concerning its package designs are defined and discussed with the data obtained from Japan and Republic of Korea.departmental bulletin pape
Consumers' image structural analysis of Shampoo Container : Fundamental Study based on Kansei Engineering for Package Designs to Promote Consumers' Purchasing Activity (2)
application/pdfThis is the second paper of this study that describes the basic foundation of package design studies being able to control the risk as small as possible on developing new package designs, introducing the method to express quantitatively consumers' image evaluation based on fuzzy logic. In part 1, the design factors (brand name, package design, price, etc) of shampoo containers on consumers' purchasing activity are formulated quantitatively.From the point of Kansei Engineering, this paper clarifies consumer' image structure in selecting shampoo containers, applying factor analysis to consumer' images makes for twenty adjectives extracted from questionnaire surveys in Japan and Republic of Korea, and furthermore, analyzes quantitatively the correlation between these adjectives and consumer' average image marks, numerical measure of taste and distaste concerning package designs, which are obtained with the new general method proposed in part 1.departmental bulletin pape

The internet as a shared work desk : Two international online projects with NID-students in spring 2005
application/pdfThe world of the internet is changing its face. We have been getting used to drawing out every kind of desired information from the comprehensive, omnipresent world wide web. Now, the internet is transforming itself from mainly an information supplier into a space that allows elaborate communication and interaction. The dream of the early internet pioneers was to build a democratic medium, where everyone could participate, not only as consumers, but as producers of knowledge, art and culture too - this dream seems to become more and more true recently. Thanks to so called social applications it becomes easy to share, publish, communicate and interact on a virtually world wide platform. Moreover, the collaborative development of projects have become feasible online, allowing separated parties to gather and work, as if sitting together in the same room, at the same desk. With two projects, in spring 2005, students from Nagaoka Institute of Design could experience the newest developments with online communication and learn how to use those for their own tasks. In both projects the counterpart was abroad, thousands of kilometers away and in a different culture: in Central Europe. The participants had to rely exclusively upon internet tools for all their collaborations. This article mainly presents the two projects, their contents and the participants' experiences. I will embed it with a short description of how and why the internet is transforming into a collaborative medium, a fact which will effect our whole society in many ways.departmental bulletin pape
