近年來提倡了樂活概念,造成一股腳踏車的熱潮,市面上輕型載具的類型也日漸增多,但其中卻沒有針對銀髮族族群設計的輕型載具,而一般的輕型載具也無法滿足銀髮族的需求,銀髮族在生理上各方面都與青壯年比較起來是有些許退化,學習能力也是略有下降,很多青壯年覺得輕鬆達成的事情,對銀髮族群反而是種負擔。 本研究使用了情境劇本法和生活型態法,將各種不同生活型態之健康銀髮族的特徵與對於輕型載具的需求點提出分類,並搭配通用設計量表對現有輕型載具進行通用性評估與因素分析,將問卷分析結果、參考文獻以及現有法規等資料彙整,做出針對健康銀髮族樂活輕型載具之設計原則。 本研究將實驗樣本進行集群分析,分為三種不同生活型態的銀髮族,分別命名為:傳統愛家型、積極活力型和社交高手型,不同生活型態的銀髮族對於輕型載具的需求點也不相同,而設計原則也會隨著這些需求做出調整;通用設計量表的因素分析結果將因素分為三大類:使用者差異、使用者負擔以及使用者學習三大因素;用此設計原則所設計的輕型載具,再使用通用設計量表的驗證之後,在大多數的項目上有所提升,此方式對於不同生活型態之銀髮族的樂活輕型載具設計是有一定程度的幫助。
In recent years, along with the LOHAS concept's starting, the bicycle becomes one kind of popular activity. The type of light carriage also increasing, but no one designed for elder. In all aspects of physical, elder group is more inferior than adult group, so the light carriage can’t satisfy the elder group. This research collects different healthy elderly lifestyle characteristics and the demand for light carriage by scenario and lifestyle method. Through Product Performance Program questionnaire surveys collect information about existing light-carriage Use the factor analysis to analyze questionnaire data. To build up LOHAS light carriage for healthy elderly design principles by the questionnaire results, references and laws. In this research, cluster analysis divided the sample into three different types of elderly lifestyle – the traditional home-lover type, the active vigor-filled type and the social expert type. Three kinds of lifestyle for light carriage's requirements are not in same point, while the design principles will make adjustments as those needs. Factor analysis results will factor into three categories: user differences, user burden and users to learn. Using Product Performance Program to verify designed using the design principle for light carriage, the results showed that in most projects has improved. This research’s method has certain extent could be proven.
