AbstractUser-centered approaches to design can guide teams toward an understanding of users and aid teams in better posing design problems. This paper investigates the role of user-centered design approaches in design process and outcome within the context of design team projects. The value of interaction with users is examined at several stages throughout the design process. The influence of user-centered design on the performance of design teams is also explored. Results suggest that the quantity of interactions with users and time spent interacting with users alone is not linked with better design outcome, but that iterative evaluation of concepts by users may be of particular value to design prototypes. Suggestions are made based on the reflections from the authors after conducting this study.

In Indonesia, there has been a significant increase in positive confirmed cases of Covid-19 caused by mutations in the Alpha, Beta and Delta variants. The uncontrolled spread has overwhelmed hospitals to treat Covid-19 patients. Hospitals are full of COVID-19 patients, making many people hesitate to check their health conditions. Geo-COVID is a one-stop application that aims to make it easier for the public to access health consultations, buy drugs online so as to reduce activities outside the home, PCR testing from home, transparency of information on the spread of COVID-19 cases, and sharing with families affected by COVID-19. The method used in the Geo-COVID architecture is User Centered Design. User Centered Design is a system design method that focuses on potential users. The stages used in achieving application goals in Geo-COVID design are Understanding the Context of Use, Determining User Needs, Design Solutions, Design Evaluation of User Needs. The target users of the Geo-COVID application are Indonesian people who are active outside the home and often interact with many individuals. The Geo-COVID application is oriented towards user experience which is limited to the Covid-19 distribution map in Indonesia, public health services, using a GUI interface type.

Research in the ICT4D field implicates lack of user-centered design in the high rate of ICTD project failure. The field of user experience (UX) offers potentially fruitful approaches for user-centered design. In the ICTD context, these principles and methods clash with the triple constraints of project management (time, scope and funding). This paper introduces the user persona from UX design as a powerful tool for considering the user's perspective within resource-constrained ICTD projects. Although personas appear simple, they introduce complex communicative affordances, pragmatic benefits, and risks to ICTD projects. A brief conclusion revisits the larger problem of ICTD project failure, and considers the potential role of personas in addressing this problem.

Currently, flexibility and time to market have become the new keys to product development. The need for versatility, low overheads, and direct customer communication has led to the birth of an emerging breed of organizations that employ a virtual product development model (VPDM). This paper explores the role of user-centered design within a VPDM being used in an actual industrial organization, and is based on the experiences of the authors working in that organization. It also discusses possible user-centered evaluation methods, and the factors that influence their use in this model. Finally, it provides recommendations for a more seamless integration of user-centered design within this model.

<p>Masa lansia merupakan suatu masa dimana kondisi fisik, kesehatan bahkan kognitif dari individu mulai mengalami penurunan. Dengan menurunnya kondisi kesehatan lansia, maka dibutuhkan perawatan kesehatan yang intensif dan cepat serta mudah untuk membantu lansia. Belakangan ini muncul banyak aplikasi kesehatan yang berfungsi sebagai pengingat maupun sebagai dokter online bagi lansia. Peranan ikon tentu sangat berpengaruh dalam pembuatan aplikasi kesehatan ini. Namun dalam penggunaannya, banyak ikon yang tidak efektif karena tidak dapat dimengerti maknanya secara cepat dan sukar untuk dikenali oleh penggunanya. Pengguna yang dalam hal ini adalah lansia terkadang mengalami kebingungan karena ikon tidak didesain secara baik sehingga menimbulkan kemiripan makna atau fungsinya. Berangkat dari permasalahan tersebut maka penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang ikon pada antarmuka aplikasi kesehatan untuk lansia. Subjek dari penelitian ini adalah lansia yang berumur 60 tahun ke atas.  Pembuatan ikon dilakukan dengan pendekatan metode <em>User Centered Design</em> dengan mewawancara responden untuk mendapatkan desain ikon yang paling nyaman digunakan.  Selanjutnya dilakukan pengujian terhadap desain ikon yang dibuat dengan melakukan <em>performance test</em> menggunakan dua buah parameter (<em>completion rate </em>dan <em>task time</em>). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa responden lebih memahami dan cepat mengenali fungsi suatu ikon ketika ikon didesain dengan jenis exemplar ikon, dengan bentuk 3 dimensi dan berwujud konkret yang dibuat dalam ukuran xhdpi dengan tingkat keberhasilan di atas 70%.</p><p> </p><p><em><strong>Abstract</strong></em></p><p class="Abstract"><em>Aging is a period when physical health and cognitive abilities begin to decline.

Currently, there are many mobile applications that can be used to help users take care of their heath, such as healthy lifestyle, and online doctor. However, not many elderly take advantage of these applications. Some of them undergo technological leap, and lack confidence in their shavvines. Therefore, it is necessary to design an application that is easy to use and less intimidating to the elderly. One way to do this is by designing icons that are easily understood by the elderly. This research studied different design approaches that are suitable for the elderly, using a user centered design approach. The study found that respondents could better understand icons that were designed using the exemplar approach, represented in concrete and 3D form, and has xhdpi size with success rate above 70%.</em></p><p><strong><br /></strong></p>

User Centered

Web technology and internet networks have made web applications the main tool in daily activities. But developing applications with limited time often leads to neglecting the role of the user, which causes a lack of attention to aspects of usability, which results in the failure of the application to meet the needs and desires of the user. In this study we developed an application for submitting credit number determination proposals for engineering functional positions by combining Incremental Prototyping and User Centered Design methods. The results show that the application can meet the usability aspects so that it is easily understood and used in submitting and evaluating proposed credit numbers.Teknologi web dan jaringan internet telah menjadikan aplikasi web sebagai piranti utama dalam kegiatan sehari-hari. Namun pengembangan aplikasi dengan keterbatasan waktu seringkali mengabaikan peran pengguna, yang menyebabkan kurangnya perhatian pada aspek usabilitas sehingga berdampak pada kegagalan aplikasi memenuhi kebutuhan dan keinginan pengguna. Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan pengembangan aplikasi pengajuan usulan penetapan angka kredit (DUPAK) untuk jabatan fungsional perekayasa  dengan menggabungkan metode Incremental Prototyping dan User Centered Design. Aplikasi yang dikembangkan terbukti dapat memenuhi aspek usabilitas sehingga dapat mudah dipahami dan digunakan dalam pengajuan dan penilaian usulan angka kredit.
