Participatory Design

The book "Participatory Design" offers a comprehensive introduction to the concept of participatory design, particularly in the context of human-computer interaction (HCI). It is aimed at students, researchers, and practitioners who wish to engage with participatory design in research studies, HCI courses, or industry projects. The work is divided into three main parts and addresses eleven key questions related to the definition, implementation, and outcomes of participatory design. The authors, who have extensive experience in this field, combine historical accounts, case studies, and practical process descriptions to provide readers with a deep understanding of the diverse aspects of participatory design. Additionally, further literature references are provided to support readers in their exploration of the topic.
