| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To achieve a sustainable consumption and production pattern in developing countries, it is necessary to consider the environmental burden from a product life cycle and the quality of life of the consumer in the early phase of product development.
In this study, a systematic approach for connecting basic human needs and the product development process, called the living-sphere approach, was proposed. In this approach, value graphs visualizing the value system of products, are connected to satisfiers fulfilling the basic needs. Next, an extended function-structure map (EFSM) was proposed which represents site-specific constraint on a traditional function-structure map, and implemented as information model on the computer. By visualizing design information abstracted from the field observation, tear-down of a product, life cycle assessment on the prototype system, the usefulness of the proposed methodology was shown.
