Abstract

This position paper discusses the roles of Prospective Ergonomics to face the challenges of Anthropocene. In particular, we question the nature of human needs to distinguish between fundamental needs essential to human development and artificial needs partly responsible for overconsumption and detrimental effects on Earth system. An overview of theories of human needs across Psychology, Economics and Sociology contributes to clarifying which kind of needs should be supported in the future, and which kind of satisfiers (ways of actualising needs) should be designed in a sustainable perspective. Ethical implications and dilemmas for Prospective Ergonomics are also discussed.

本立场文件讨论了前瞻性人类工程学在应对人类世挑战中的作用。特别是，我们对人类需求的性质提出质疑，以区分对人类发展至关重要的基本需求和部分造成过度消费和对地球系统有害影响的人为需求。对心理学、经济学和社会学中有关人类需求的理论进行综述，有助于明确未来应支持哪类需求，以及应从可持续的角度设计哪类满足者（实现需求的方式）。此外，还讨论了前瞻性人体工程学的伦理影响和困境。

期刊介绍： Ergonomics, also known as human factors, is the scientific discipline that seeks to understand and improve human interactions with products, equipment, environments and systems. Drawing upon human biology, psychology, engineering and design, Ergonomics aims to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise system performance, whilst protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. The attention of ergonomics extends across work, leisure and other aspects of our daily lives. The journal Ergonomics is an international refereed publication, with a 60 year tradition of disseminating high quality research. Original submissions, both theoretical and applied, are invited from across the subject, including physical, cognitive, organisational and environmental ergonomics. Papers reporting the findings of research from cognate disciplines are also welcome, where these contribute to understanding equipment, tasks, jobs, systems and environments and the corresponding needs, abilities and limitations of people. All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
