PPCOE 1990 was “Searching for Solutions to Occupational
Lin
Problems.” The successful meetings have taken place in
1990 (Kitakyushu, Japan), 1992 (Wuhan, China), 1994 (Seoul, Lim
Ergonomie Korea), 1996 (Taipei, Taiwan), 1998 (Kitakyushu, Japan), 2001 Ergonomie Perspective
(Beijing, China), 2004 (Cairns, Australia), 2007 (Bangkok,
Thailand) and 2010 (Kaohsiung, Taiwan). After two decades P N
of collective endeavors, the conferences have established
e
e
globally recognized excellence in scientifi c and professional
r
contributions. w

Now, PPCOE activities are entering a new stage after a quarter p
century of history. Fortunately, participants of the PPCOE E

a broad spectrum of up-to-date and comprehensive
ergonomics issues. This book was organized into six m
thematic chapters, including Aging and Occupational

Preface
The 10th PPCOE2014 was held at Tokyo Metropolitan University
(Tokyo, Japan) from 25 to 28 August 2014. About 80 researchers
from eight countries participated and 80 papers were presented.
This book is composed of a selection of papers chosen by the
PPCOE2014 Program Committee. You may be aware that this
PPCOE (Pan Pacific Conference on Ergonomics) 2014 confer-
ence celebrates the 10th occasion that the meeting is held in a time
span of 20 years. Our society, and the research fields covered, have
changed considerably in these past 20 years. Firstly, caused by the
development of ICT (Information and Communication Technol-
ogy), i.e. the internet and various Social Networking Systems (SNS). These technology devel-
opments have changed the way of working as well as the production systems. The second
reason is a social situation, caused by the transition from an aged society to an aging soci-
ety. That means that research on how to educate the younger generation for communicating
the know-how of older workers becomes necessary. Researchers must investigate support
methods and the environment for the elderly further, and development and evaluation of the
assistive technology for elderly people becomes necessary. These changes have an impact on
our research scopes and themes. This 10th conference is a milestone as our research fields are
developing now. If we understand this fact, we will know that it is essential to re-evaluate our
research aims and scope. This meeting will provide a platform and a place to consider how to
change to go into this new direction.
I would like to thank Emeritus Prof. Masaharu Kumashiro, the president of PPCOE, who
gave me the opportunity to convene this conference. Also, I would like to acknowledge the
help of Professor Masahiro Shibuya as secretary general of the PPCOE 2014 conference.
Finally, a word of thanks to all participants.
Prof. Sakae Yamamoto, Ph.D.
Chair of the Pan Pacific Conference on Ergonomics (PPCOE) 2014
The president of the Society for Occupational Safety, Health and Ergonomics (SOSHE)
