台灣祭祀祖先及宗教文化中,常以焚燒金紙作為感謝神明庇佑的謝禮,並祈福未來一切平安順利。燃燒金紙過程中不但會產生二氧化碳,且在燃燒不完全情況下,金紙會釋於大量的有害物質與氣體,造成環境汙染;若未注意到金紙桶內有悶燒情形,當桶內死灰復燃,對居家安全造成威脅。有鑑於此,為了維持文化傳承,也顧及環境汙染及居家安全議題。應用設計思考架構下,本設計方法計有:(1)場域觀察(家庭祭拜神明及祖先禮儀活動);(2)系統性創新方法(如曼陀羅九宮格、屬性列舉法、魚骨因果分析、情境分析);(3)TRIZ理論等設計階段思考;(4)專利檢索等,促使產品設計更趨於最佳化。本設計產品概念於測試階段提供通用設計問卷評估,其結果將可供產品修正之參考。本研究產品設計概念促使投入金紙能完全燃燒,且讓燃燒所產生有害氣體達到最低,兼顧傳統文化保留及降低環境汙染;其設計概念方法,適用國內金桶製造廠商設計之參考。
A burn ghost money is Taiwanese religions and cultural traditions. But burning gold paper will produce carbon dioxide, causing environmental pollution. Therefore, the aim of this study attempts to creative design concepts for a ghost money- burning tub. This study will be based on the five stages of design thinking, according to D. School, are as follows: empathy, define, ideate, prototype, and test. The research methods involved brainstorming, observational field research, systematic innovation methods (such as Mandala, Attribute Listing Technique, Cause and Effect Diagrams, Scenarios Analysis), TRIZ theory, Taiwan Patent Search System, and universal design questionnaire. Results of this study showed that a ghost money- burning tub can reduce environmental pollution.
