Abstract

One of the main tasks of the industrial designer is to study the relationship between "user, product, environment" and to estimate the different factors of use to understand and analyse the psychology of the user. The user's behaviour consists of both its actions and its responses when dealing with different products. Since the design or development of a new product requires a study of the user's behavior as well as the characteristics and needs of the user and the implementation of appropriate solutions, and thus the user's status as the architect of the design, the use phase is one of the longest stages of the product's life cycle, from which the impact of the product on the environment or the human being during the process of use and the risks that the product carries. Traditional spatial design has been concerned with reducing the negative impact of industrial product use on the environment during the (pre-and-post) phase of use and sustainable product design through (use of recyclable or disassemble ores) to improve energy efficiency and the investment of specific resources, but this does not always make a difference due to unsustainable patterns of behaviour . The study of user behavior is a broad and complex field to a large extent, where there are many opinions and points of view that discuss this topic, and it was necessary to search between these opinions to interpret and predict user behavior that contributes to the development of product design policy, and there are many factors, both internal and external that affect In his behavior, as the full understanding of these factors leads to an understanding of user behavior, and then making design decisions that lead to preserving the environment and achieving sustainability to reach the results required for design strategies for behavior and direct user behaviors for the better and benefit from the use phase of the product and product life cycle
