Abstract

A “sustainable solution” is a mix of products and services that enables people to live better, consuming less environmental resources and improving the quality of their physical and social contexts of life. It is necessary to rethink sustainable design approaches with user research. It is adopted cases study in user lifestyle, user behavior and user experience to discuss how user research can help designers understand user needs in sustainable context and conducting sustainable concept by design.
