Abstract
The rapid development of computer and internet technology has led to human beings’ society into the era of information, and brought certain influence on the modern design and innovative design. Moreover, product design is now emphasizing on design ideology such as Humanisms, Culture and People-Oriented design. That is products serving for users and all their shapes, function, color, material and structure showing the respect and care for their users, furthermore, they are endeavoring in providing some virtual using experience including Humanities, History, Emotion, Joviality and Security. Recently, natural disasters such like earthquake, snowstorm, fire, typhoon, flood and drought always cost enormous casualties and economic loss. As a result of the government’s popularization and promotion of disaster prevention and rising awareness of the meaning of safety, emergency products come up to exist in our daily life. However, emergency indications would send people a sense of fear, which should lower their life quality. New ergonomic, mainly based on researching methods as Physiology, Psychology and Anthropometry etc., and gives prominence to some interdisciplinary subjects, for example, Social Psychology and Economics etc. It is focusing on service system and ergonomic issues. On the topic of disaster emergency design, this paper suggests three researching methods for it: PDCA model, Quantitative Analysis, Semantic Differential. Then how could Emergency Products produce high life quality? The essay records the researching theorization which has been used before. They are based on the people-oriented ideology, through in four phases of the establishment of the design goals (design target selection and judgment), the preliminary design (understanding and analysis of the design goals, design concept engineering), deep design (product detail design) and design confirmation (completion of the design goals) to practice and research.
