Value Sensitive Design and Information Systems

Value Sensitive Design and Information Systems

2006 | Batya Friedman, Peter H. Kahn Jr., and Alan Borning
The chapter introduces Value Sensitive Design (VSD), a methodological framework that integrates human values into the design process of information and computational systems. VSD is characterized by its integrative and iterative tripartite methodology, which includes conceptual, empirical, and technical investigations. The authors provide three case studies to illustrate VSD: one on web browser cookies and informed consent, another on high-definition plasma displays in office environments, and a third on an integrated land use, transportation, and environmental simulation system. Each case study highlights different values such as privacy, physical and psychological well-being, fairness, and democratic participation. The chapter concludes with practical suggestions for implementing VSD and emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach to design that considers the broader implications of technology on human values.The chapter introduces Value Sensitive Design (VSD), a methodological framework that integrates human values into the design process of information and computational systems.
