Happiness is one of the major influences in what makes people use products, and what makes those products an important part of daily life. What drives these aspects, some arisen from personal appraisement and some directly related to the product qualities, are important for designers, as the experiences designers form tend to affect these aspects heavily. Driven from this idea, in this paper, an exploration on the evolution of positive user experience with technological products was conducted. We asked users to think about the technological products they enjoy the most, how their experiences changed over time, and what makes them still use the product. Different qualities regarding their experience were found, some human-related, some product-related, and the relations between these qualities were looked upon further in depth. The result presented itself as a theoretical model to achieve sustained usage of technological products.

Exploration of the ways of empowering people in the design process through product personalization for prolonged product lifetimes OZAN, EZGİ; Doğan, Çağla (2017-11-10) Product personalization has many potentials in extending product lifetimes and sustainable consumption, through strengthening the emotional bond between people and their products. In addition, production and post-use of products need to be considered in the design process to develop design solutions in line with sustainability principles. Product personalization is defined in the study as, a process during which a product's aesthetic and functional attributes are defined, adapted or modified by the user dur...
Empirical assessment of the influence of aesthetic properties on product pleasure Sevener, Zeynep; Asatekin, Mehmet; Department of Industrial Design (2003) This thesis analyzes the influence of the aesthetic properties of products on inducing the feeling of product pleasure on consumers. The emergence of the pleasurability issue and pleasure-based product design approach are presented to provide the background. The connection between the pleasurable products and the aesthetic properties is examined since the aesthetic properties are the contributors of product pleasure. The aesthetic properties of the products are identified. The importance of the properties w...
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR EMOTIONAL DURABILITY AND PRODUCT LONGEVITY THROUGH PRODUCT CARE ACTIVITIES BY REPAIR ENTHUSIASTS Yazirlıoğlu, Lilyana; Doğan, Çağla; Department of Industrial Design (2021-8-02) Take-make-dispose behaviours as the basis of the linear economy model are challenged by the sustainable modes of consumption that aim to minimise the use of raw materials and waste production. The most prominent among these is the circular economy model, which resembles the production and consumption cycles to a living system, and proposes alternative systems where there is no such thing as waste but only food for another within the system (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2015). Therefore, the aim is to protect...
Evaluation of innovation indicators: the Turkish case as a developing country Günel, Ayşegül; Pamukcu, Mehmet Teoman; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2009) In knowledge society theory, wealth is created by production of knowledge and information which are basic sources of innovation. Innovation has vital importance for providing firms survival and competitive power together with enabling countries sustained economic progress and competitiveness. Because of its importance, measuring innovation becomes necessary for evaluating countries’ performance and policymaking. First attempts to develop measurement framework for innovation was achieved by OECD via the Oslo...
Quality of life and energy use: Is there a fair energy use level? Aydemir, Mehmet Olcay (Routledge,, 2020-01-01) Energy consumption and production have major influences on the economy, environment, and society, but in return they are also influenced by how the economy is structured, how the social institutions work, and how the society deals with environmental degradation. The need for integrated assessment of the relationship between energy, economy, environment, and society is clear, and this handbook offers an in-depth review of all four pillars of the energy-economy-environment-society nexus. Bringing together co...
