Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research was to gather knowledge on the behavioral characteristics of visitors when they use information services, to clarify methodology of effective information services for fostering understanding for and relationships with open-air museums, and to contribute to sustainable museum management. First, mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) were used to analyze behavioral characteristics of visitors when using information services for several open-air museums in Iwate prefecture. Next, the knowledge acquired through the behavioral characteristics analysis and action research was systematized into a trial methodology based HCD (Human Centered Design) process for open-air museum information service design.
