¶ … Human Factors and Interior Space Design
The objective of this work in writing is to summarize the article entitled "The Relation of Human Factors and Interior Space Design." This article begins by noting the importance of the human having tools that fit them well and that this was realized early in the development of the human species. Specifically, this article notes that Australopithecus Prometheus "selected pebble tools and made scoops from antelope bones in a clear display of selecting/creating objects to make tasks easier to accomplish." (p.3) Over the centuries there was improvement in the effectiveness of the tools as discovered by anthropologists and archaeologists including tools such as hammers, plows and axes. During the Industrial Revolution, more advanced machines were developed that assisted man with his work including such as the spinning Jenny and the rolling mills.
The methodology utilized in the study under review is reported to have been conducted through gathering and evaluating information and then analyzing that information. The specific stated objective of the article under review reports that it intends to "investigate the relation of human factor and interior/environmental space design and how these two fields are related one to the other. This relation one to the other and how this is important to human factors and interior space design involves collection of material from articles forming...
The first of the case studies is a review of a book written by Stuart Smith -- School of Mechanical, Materials, Manufacturing, Engineering and Management, Institute for Occupational Ergonomics, University of Nottingham, and Nottingham containing 27 papers presenting the latest in research in human models relating to product use and workplace design. The second case study is stated to be comprised of "thinking about human factors."
Stated in the second case study is that human factors engineering "incorporates design principles that apply to physical and cognitive human abilities." (p.4) Stress as well as expectations, risk and rewards are stated to combine to impact the ability of the human being to make good judgments at the proper time and this is stated to be "in spite of our physical prowess or technical expertise." ( 4) It is noted in this part of the study that weaknesses and strengths are inherent in interaction between three groups including: (1) human factors and the patient; (2) human factors and the care team; and (3) human factors and the healthcare environment. (p.4) Specifically stated that patients and the family of patients as active participants in the patient's health care plan require that these considerations must be integrated into the patient care including instructions given both verbally…
Human Response to Physical Structure: Environmental psychology is a branch of psychology that focuses on explaining human behavior in relation to the physical environment. In this case, the physical environment basically incorporates plants, animals, and material objects that have a significant impact on behavior at various levels. However, this branch of psychology does not focus on the interactional procedures among people as emphasized on other branches of psychology. In analyzing human

Edr What is Environmental Design Research? Design and art can accept scientific principles Environmental Design Research (EDR) = the study of the mutual relationships between human beings and the physical environment at all scales, and applications of the knowledge thus gained to improving the quality of life through better informed environmental policy, planning, design, and education. (passive and active definition) EDR is related to many other areas of the social sciences EDR is NOT: building
