ABSTRACT Inclusive Design focuses on understanding the broad spectrum of peoples' needs and abilities, with a view to developing more successful products and services. However, peoples' experiences with products and services are dynamic and multi-layered, presenting a unique set of challenges for Inclusive Designers. This paper presents the concept of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) as an integral part of future inclusive services. By utilizing crowd-sourced data, services can become…

User-centred design of neogeography: the impact of volunteered geographic information on users' perceptions of online map ‘mashups’
TLDR
Analysis using Kruskal–Wallis showed that judgements of currency were influenced by including geo-information from untrained volunteers (volunteered geographic information) within the mashup, but not influenced by the participant being told that the online map contained volunteered information.

Exploring Boundaries and Synergies Between Inclusive Design and Service Design
TLDR
The authors identify four categories for understanding how service design and inclusive design can establish a relationship, i.e. (i) inclusive service design; (ii) design for inclusive services; (iii) service design for inclusion; (iv) inclusive design for service design.
