Abstract(s)
O presente estudo foi desenvolvido no âmbito do projeto de investigação “ECHO: ecoar o eu comunitário”, que visa documentar práticas autoiniciadas em bairros sociais de Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, e disseminá-las em contextos sociais análogos, sobretudo através de uma plataforma online. Neste grupo da população dos bairros sociais, principal público-alvo da plataforma online, detetou-se uma percentagem considerável de indivíduos com baixos níveis de escolaridade e de literacia. Perante este problema, surgiu a necessidade de estudar uma solução de Design de interface que garantisse, a este tipo de indivíduos, uma utilização agradável e eficaz da plataforma online. Com base numa profunda revisão de literatura, foram estudadas, avaliadas e delineadas um conjunto de orientações de Design, e, posteriormente, testadas num protótipo criado para o efeito. Os testes de usabilidade realizados comprovaram a eficiência das orientações propostas, contribuindo, desta forma, para responder ao problema supramencionado deste projeto de investigação, como também para outros potenciais casos de Design de Interface dirigidos a este tipo de utilizadores de baixos níveis de escolaridade e de literacia.
This study was developed as a part of the “ECHO: echoing the communal self ” research project, which aims to document selfinitiated practices in social housing neighbourhoods in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, and disseminate them in similar social contexts, mainly through an online platform. A considerable percentage of low scholar and low literacy users was detected in the population of these social housing neighbourhoods, the main target audience of the online platform. Considering this problem, the need to study an Interface Design solution that ensures a pleasant and effective usage of the online platform arouse. Based on a deep literature review, a set of Design guidelines were studied, evaluated and outlined, and later tested with a prototype developed for this purpose. The usability tests administered confirmed the efficacy of the proposed guidelines, thus contributing to answer this research projects aforementioned problem, as well as other potential Interface Design instances directed towards this kind of low literacy and low scholar users.
