A Systematic Literature Review on UCD4D Studies

Abstract

The paper presents preliminary results from a systematic literature review on user-centred design initiatives for development (UCD4D). The review is motivated by our own experiences from a design project. Fifty papers from venues in human-computer interaction and software engineering are identified and analyzed. The review gives an overview about commonly used methods and techniques in UCD4D projects and analyzes faced challenges as well as assumptions and attitudes of researchers and participants.
