폐휴대폰 수거 활성화를 위한 APP 디자인 연구

Abstract

The problem of disposing used mobile phones is becoming a big issue because of the Green IT trend. This study aims to change users’recognition about activation for used mobile phones to be more positive and also to increase their concerns about the recycling of resources. Accordingly, the design of ‘Morephone’ and the service contents are proposed, which is an application to spontaneously activate in order to collect used mobile phones which are not used by users by arousing potential value of the used phones abandoned at home and also by providing information on how to dispose of them. Also, this study verifies the following: The task or capacity assigned to design has a great significance, which can be contributed by design for sustainable development. The design to change users’recognition for mobile phones is important under the circumstances that everybody recognizes that it is important to act for environmental conservation but their recognition for recycling used mobile phones is rather passive.
