What this means is that the issue of social inclusion of diversity and for equality is firmly on political agendas all over the world, not least because of increasing awareness that new visions, new strategies, new tools and new approaches are needed, if we are to tackle the challenges arising from recent phenomena of economic and cultural globalisation,demographicchange;economicmigration frompoorercountriesand anageingpopulationinwealthiercountries,aphenomenathataredestinedtoupset the entire planet’s micro and macro-economic and social structures in years to come. The second issue tackled in this book is more technical in nature, since the paradigm change from ‘designing for standards’ to the enlightened awareness that there are no such concepts to fit the standard human being, this has immediate, directrepercussionsonthespecialiseddimensionofdesigning.Therealisationisat last taking hold not only that those individuals are physically, psychologically and culturally‘diverse’,buttheyalsohavewidelydiversifiedskills,abilities,aspirations and desires that make each one of us unique and not at all replicable. Since the diversityofindividualsistherule,nottheexception,itmakessensetoconsideritas aresource,notasalimitingfactororarestrictionondesign,whileequalitybetween individuals, communities and peoples should be treated as fundamental strategic inputs to the sustainable development of contemporary society, where everybody should have the same opportunities to experience places, products and services. Numerous design approaches have been adopted to facilitate social and cultural vii viii Preface inclusion in recent decades: Design for Disability, Universal Design, Inclusive Design, and Design for All. All of these philosophies, approaches, and method- ologiesaimtobuildvalueonallaspectsofhumandiversity,frompsycho-physical toculturalissues,andtoofferequalopportunitytoeveryoneinordertoexperience places, products, services, and systems. With this in mind, this book sets out to forgeaclimateconducivetodiscussionandcomparisonbetweentheseapproaches, without any prejudice in favour or against any one of them, but attempting to identify the elements they hold in common and to build each one’s heritage of originality,becauseweareconvincedthatthetrueresourceofdesignforInclusion may well be found in this very diversity of opinions. Inparticular,thisbookdescribesthestateoftheartofrecentresearchconducted inavarietyoffieldsthatsharethefocusondesignforInclusionandwaspresented in thefirst international conference ondesign for Inclusion (AHFE 2016, Orlando, FL). On this occasion, the numerous research papers presented were collected together into twelve different thematic areas, corresponding to different sections of this book: – Design for disability and social inclusion; – Design for inclusion and product development; – Designing for inclusion in the public sector and cultural heritage; – Designing for inclusion: methodologies and future trends; – Inclusive design is good design: future strategies and challenges of inclusive design; – Multisensory designing; – Inclusive and universal design in clothing, footwear and accessories; – Designing for inclusion in learning experiences; – Designing for inclusion of an ageing population; – Designing for inclusion in the information society; – Global perspectives on people-centred design; – Design for inclusion in the living environment. Lastly, two additional groups of research papers report on experience from specific countries. These are: – Dissing the dis: the Swedish concept; – Design for inclusion: the Japanese perspective.
