It is commonly accepted that user research has crucial benefits for the design process including its contribution to innovation processes. In order to lead innovation through user research, besides the content of the research, it is important that the delivery should be done effectively so that design strategies that result in innovation can be adopted in the design process and the findings can guide designers to create novel outputs. This paper aims to discuss the requirements for user research delivery that aids in innovative design processes on the basis of an information system that is designed for communicating the findings of user research regarding automotive design.

Effective Communicatıon Of User Research Outcomes In Design For Well-Being: Adaptation Of The Design Well-Being Matrix In A Pregnancy Case
Günay, Aslı (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2020-6-30)
Effective communication of user research deliverables plays a crucial role during all design processes to effectively and meaningfully inform design decisions. As newly introduced materials, such as frameworks and tools, in emergent fields are actually mediums for communicating information in different phases of research, effective communication of them would foster the development of a shared and established language, and thus, robust progression of these fields. This paper investigates effective communica...
RIGOUR AND RELEVANCE IN USER EXPERIENCE RESEARCH: INVESTIGATING THE PRACTICES OF UX TEAMS AND FIRMS IN REMOTE RESEARCH CONTEXT
Danış, Semih; Töre Yargın, Gülşen; Süner-Pla-Cerdà, Sedef; Department of Industrial Design (2023-2-15)
User Experience (UX) research is an essential part of the design process that supports design activities by providing relevant user knowledge. Building on this knowledge, UX designers aim to find design solutions to ill-defined design problems by using creative thinking and exploration methods. To provide reliable and valid results in this process, UX research should be conducted in a scientific and structured way, addressing both rigour (meticulousness of the research plan and process) and relevance (usefu...
A Proposed information systems framework for effective delivery of user research findings
Töre Yargın, Gülşen (2011-06-25)
Integration of user research findings into product design process is a well-received issue. There is a tremendous research on how to conduct user research and methodologies for generating user data. However delivering that information effectively is as important as the quality of data generated through user research, since if it is not delivered effectively the impact that is demanded by the product developers would not be achieved. Therefore the requirements for the deliverables should be conceptualized be...
Involving end users in retrofit of higher education buildings
Gooding, Luke; Erdogan, Bilge; Gürsel Dino, İpek (2021-12-01)
Although the importance of end user participation during building improvement design is widely accepted, selecting the best approach for the engagement of users in design processes is a significant challenge. This paper assesses how qualitative end user engagement during retrofit planning can aid the design process of energy retrofits in higher education institutions. The application of this early stage approach to make design decisions is presented via a case study, carried out in the Faculty of Architectu...
Evaluation of Construct Elicitation as a Research Method to Obtain Design-Relevant Data from Children
Süner, Sedef ; Erbuğ, Çiğdem (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2016-8-10)
Understanding user requirements and how users give meaning to their own experiences related to products is a significant input in the design of products that are acceptable to the target users. This issue becomes more important when designing for children due to our adult preconceptions about what they can and cannot do, and what they like or do not like. Although incorporating children's input into design process has been well-acknowledged in research practices, the dominant tendency is to involve children...
