Katsukazan: An Intuitive iOS App for Informing People About Volcanic Activity in Japan
Page 193
Abstract
Events in recent years have drawn attention to disaster risks related to volcanic activity in Japan. People having easy access to information regarding Japan's active volcanoes is of great importance - particularly as early work in our research indicated that visitors to Japan are unaware of these risks. Both disaster literature and interaction design theory emphasise considering the needs of users as part of the design process. Therefore, we are involving users at each step of the design process as we create an iOS application that allows people to explore and contextualise this information in a simple yet meaningful way.
