Abstract

The analysis of ergonomic properties has been made in relation to ergonomic evaluation of objects of digital world. The proposal is to extent three recognized domains of Ergonomic (physical, cognitive and organizational) by the new one: informational. Some appropriate related topics are proposed. Information/cyber security issues are formulated as ergonomic objects in the digital environment. It is propose to add to four recognized general ergonomic properties (learnability, serviceability, controllability, inhabitability) to add resilience of human-system integration as one more ergonomic property. The technique to measure “ergonomicity” are discussed with the appropriate 4-point scale that is based on use of 4 levels of ergonomic indices: integral complex, group and single.
