Thirteenth International Conference on Design Principles & Practices

Abstract

In the late twentieth century, various forms of family appeared due to the improvement of the national income. Changes in family types, such as nuclear family, single family, and independent family, have caused people to find mental and physical stability through companion animals, and the number of companion animals has increased exponentially as the years have passed. According to the National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service, 17.4% of the population now have pets. The sudden increase in the number of pets changed people’s perception of pets and looked at the ‘companion pet’ as object of love and affection, not a cattle breeding for the convenience of humans. The study was conducted to elicit travel problems with pets and to improve them through service design methods. It has been confirmed that the current travel service with pets is less practical than the development of pet-based services. Based on the design approach developed to determine whether the design proposal considered the user, the design assessment for the investigation method is produced and the design assessment is performed for the user. Users will find that the travel system with pets will have a positive impact on the domestic pet industry. As a result, the design of a pet-accompanied travel system is expected to enable pet owners to manage their pets efficiently and to have a higher rate of registration for the use. Furthermore, the participation of stakeholders involved in the pet industry is expected to have a positive impact on the animal industry.
