Ergonomics is applied in everyday life

Ergonomics is a very important criterion in interior design, which is equivalent to a "ruler".

From the perspective of interior design, the purpose of using ergonomics is to start from the physiological and psychological aspects of people, so that the factors of the indoor environment can fully meet the needs of people's living activities, so as to improve the use of indoor functions and obtain a more ideal living environment.

Human activities are most closely related to human motor organs and sensory organs, and motor organs have a certain scale and a certain range of activities. Whether standing or sitting, raising hands, stepping and other postures, there is a certain way and distance. Therefore, for the design of space related to activities, furniture and appliances, it is necessary to take into account the physical characteristics and movement characteristics of people, so as to minimize people's fatigue and improve the efficiency of people's activities to the greatest extent.

This is where the ergonomics of architectural decoration design research comes in.

Ergonomics originated in Europe and the United States, and has a history of more than 40 years as an independent discipline in the industrial society, when mass production and use of machinery and facilities began, and the exploration of the harmonious relationship between humans and machines.

Military science and technology in World War II began to apply the principles and methods of ergonomics to enable people to effectively operate and fight in the cabins of tanks and airplanes, and to reduce fatigue in a small space for a long time as much as possible, that is, to deal with the coordination relationship between man, machine and environment. After the Second World War, countries quickly and effectively applied the practice and research results of ergonomics to space technology, industrial production, architecture and interior design, and in 1960 the International Ergonomics Association was founded.

Nowadays, the social development to the post-industrial society, the information society transition, attaches importance to "people-oriented", for the people, ergonomics emphasizes from the people themselves, in the premise of the main body of the study of people's life, production activities of the new idea of comprehensive analysis.

In fact, people, things, and the environment are closely linked to each other, and in the future, "it is expected that ergonomics will be used to actively and efficiently control the living environment."

Ergonomics is applied in the stairs we go up and down, stove grinding seats, furniture, computers, keyboards, pens, garbage bins, etc.

Ergonomics is the study of the interaction between technology and the space environment and humans. In the actual working, learning and living environment, ergonomists apply relevant subject knowledge to design to achieve the purpose of human safety, comfort, health and work efficiency.

Ergonomics is everywhere around the nuclear simplicity of our lives. Many of them are more or less ergonomic applications. It is precisely because of these applications that our lives are so convenient and comfortable.

Without this ergonomic design, life can be unenvisionable.

Human beings are always inseparable from the scope of space for survival, and always have to create an environment suitable for their own work and study, and create items that can meet people's quality of life and work efficiency, so ergonomics is an indispensable basic discipline for architecture, interior, furniture, products and other design.

Ergonomics has a lot of data about the structure of the human body that plays a big role in the design.

After understanding these data, we can fully consider these factors when doing interior design, make appropriate choices, and consider the safety of people's movements and activities in different spaces and enclosures, as well as the appropriate size for most people, and emphasize that safety is the premise.

For example, furniture should be designed to suit the special dimensional requirements of the human body, both static and dynamic. At the same time, in order to use these furniture and facilities, there must be a minimum room for movement and use around them, so as not to make the people who are active in them feel constrained and restrained. In addition, the color, color and its arrangement must conform to the physiological and psychological scale of the human body and the activity rules of all parts of the human body, so as to achieve the purpose of safety, practicality, convenience, comfort and beauty.

Human engineering, also known as ergonomics, ergonomics, ergonomics, ergonomics, or ergonomics. Ergonomics is derived from the Greek word "ergo", that is, "work, labor" and "nomos" that is, "law, effect", that is, the regularity of people's labor, work effect, and efficiency. Ergonomics is made up of 6 sub-disciplines, namely:

Anthropometry, Biomechanics, Labor Physiology, Environmental Physiology, Engineering Psychology, Time and Work Studies.

According to the International Society of Ergonomics (IEA), ergonomics is "the study of various factors such as anatomy, physiology and psychology of a person in a certain work environment; study the interaction between man and machine and the environment; A discipline that studies how people consider issues such as work efficiency, health, safety, and comfort at work, at home, and on vacation [1] "Professor Ohara of Chiba University in Japan believes that ergonomics is to explore the working capacity of the human body and its limits, so that the work that people engage in tends to adapt to the various characteristics of human anatomy, physiology, and psychology. ”

Early ergonomics mainly studied the relationship between man and construction machinery, that is, the relationship between man and machine. Its content includes the structural and functional dimensions of the human body, the operating device, the visual display of the control panel, which involves psychology, human anatomy and anthropometry, etc., and then studies the interaction between man and the environment, that is, the relationship between man and environment, which involves psychology, environmental psychology, etc. To this day, the research content of ergonomics is still developing and is not uniform.

The content of ergonomics may be a kind of study and setting for the human body.

The study of various factors such as anatomy, physiology and psychology of a person in a certain work environment The study of the interaction between machines and the environment The study of how to integrate issues such as productivity, human health, safety and comfort at work, at home and at work.

2. The content of ergonomic research

Answer: Ergonomics research should include both theoretical and applied aspects, but the current general trend of research in this discipline is still focused on application.
