Dumur, Eliane, Barnard, Yvonne and Boy, Guy A. (2004): Design for Comfort. In: Ward, D. de, Brookhuis, K. A. and Weikert, C. M. "Human Factors in Design". Shaker Publishing pp. 111-127

“In this paper human factors in designing of a more comfortable aircraft cabin for passengers are described. Comfort is a complex concept, consisting of both objective ergonomics requirements and subjective impressions. Elements of comfort can be described by four different models: 1) The passenger bubble, in which the passenger is isolated from disturbances and can pursue his/her own activities; 2) The health model, where the focus is on absence of discomfort, potential health dangers and annoyance, and on physical well-being; 3) The community model, in which passengers belong to a public-transport group, who communicate and share common experiences; 4) The aesthetic economical model, in which comfort is perceived as being in an interesting, advanced and beautiful environment, for a reasonable price. All these models put different requirements on the passengers’ environment, sometimes overlapping, but sometimes also conflicting. In order to support designing for comfort, we present a model in which these requirements can be combined based on cognitive function analysis. Four principles are identified that should guide design: affordance, situational awareness, individualisation and customisation, and variability and flexibility. The paper concludes with a discussion on the design process.”

“ Computer programs emerge as the outcome of complex human processes of cognition, communication and negotiation, which serve to establish the meaningful embedding of the computer system in its intended use context. ”
