Abstract

The paper discusses synergies and difference in several people centered design approaches, in order to clarify processes and methods focusing on human diversity. Thanks to a design methodologies review, common grounds and focus are identified by analyzing theoretical basis and applications to different design context, for improving and widening their comprehension and practice. The contribution of Human-Centered Design methods to their application is also discussed.
