摘要:Ensuring sustainable consumption and production (SCP) patterns is an important task and is one of the United Nation’s sustainable development goals. Each SCP pattern needs to be appropriate for its target region, so they differ according to regional or local characteristics, including culture, climate and customs. Therefore, product design should take into account these characteristics as appropriate. The purpose of this study is to propose a framework for locally-oriented product design using an extended function-structure map and a mixed prototyping environment. The former is applied to identify local specific information related to product function structure and to generate design ideas, and the latter is applied to evaluate design solutions in a reconfigured living environment comparable with an actual one. Combining these two elements in the design process allows local information to contribute to the design of locally-oriented products. The usefulness of the proposed framework is shown by applying it to the development of an improved washing machine design for use in the Vietnamese living environment.
