| Abstract: | 由於台灣社會人口結構高齡化的改變，國人對於個人保健的認知與需求逐漸增 加，因此政府積極結合產官學，大力推廣並研發健康食品，健康食品成為最快速成 長的產業並深具發展空間。目前國內對於健康食品的包裝並未考量高齡人口的使用 習性，以通用包裝設計或視覺人因(visual ergonomic)的觀點，探討健康食品的研究 亦不多見。 本研究嘗試利用通用設計的法則建構於健康食品的包裝設計，並採四階段進 行：第一階段進行國內外通用設計相關文獻分析，並瞭解與歸納國內健康食品包裝 與現行法規。第二階段針對65 歲以上高齡者進行深度訪談，以獲得目前健康食品包 裝上的問題點作為設計改進的初步準則。第三階段則根據第二階段所得結果，參照 Universal Design 七原則和三附則，再加上ISO Guide71 之checklist，進行統整、歸 納，以求出健康食品包裝通用設計的原則。第四階段運用排序法（rank order）進行 實驗，由受測者(高齡者)進行健康食品包裝改良前後之評估，再將此結果與通用設 計原則進行交叉分析，以獲得通用設計應用在健康食品包裝上的具體結論。 本研究的目的在於（一）瞭解國內健康食品包裝設計現況。（二）通用設計觀點 探討目前國內健康食品包裝設計之問題點。（三）建立符合國內需求之健康食品包裝 通用設計準則。（四）進行改良設計和實驗測試，尋求理論與實務相互驗證，並求 出最佳化之設計。研究成果能提供給業界在健康食品包裝設計及學界教學上之參考。
Due to the aging population of Taiwan society, the cognition and the demand of personal health care for people are increasing. Government speeds up promoting and researching health food through cooperating with industry and academics. Therefore, the health food will become the most fast-growing industry in the future. However, few considerations about elderly people’s using habits were taken in most health food packaging. No studies have been found to focus on the health food packaging through universal design or visual ergonomic. In this study, Universal Design is applied on the packaging design of health food. Four stages are included: literature analysis, depth interviews, building up and verification of universal design principles. We try to verify the application of universal design in the feasibility of health food packaging. This study attempted to use universal design principles to build on the health food packaging design, and four-stage method was adopted to carry out the whole process. Firstly, the researcher analyzed domestic and foreign literature reviews on universal design and understood and summarized the domestic health food packaging and existing regulations. Secondly, In order to obtain the current issues on health food packaging as preliminary design guidelines for improvement, in-depth interviews with those over the age of 65 were performed. With the results from the second stage, coupled with seven principles of Universal Design and three supplementary articles, and the checklist in ISO Guide71, the research did the integration and induction to find out a universal design principle for health food packaging. Rank order was used in experimenting. Senior citizens were invited to do assessments before and after food packaging improvement. Afterwards, a cross-analysis of universal design principles with this finding from the experiment was conducted to attain specific conclusions of universal design applied in health food packaging The purposes of the study are to: 1. understand the status of packaging design of health food, 2. confer the current health food packaging design through universal design, 3. establish the standards of health food packaging by universal design, and 4. improve design and experimental testing, search for mutual authentication for the theory and practice, and find the optimal design. This research can provide both health food packaging for industry and a teaching example for academic. |
