Research Abstract

This research aimed to elaborate on a design method to generate fun in play with creative activities, and to develop a creative activities support system for children. I developed "situation design" which adds a new factor-social element-to this design method, and implemented several applications using this method. As a result of the evaluation tests, this approach was validated.
