ANCHORUNG THE HARBOUR (FISHING AND MARKETING PORT).pdfAtharv Mehta
.1 Background –
India is the world’s fourth largest fishing nation, accounting for over4.39% of the global output and with a longest costal line of 8118 km. Maharashtra has 720Km coastline and it has fifth place in marine fish production after Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, West Bengal and Gujarat. Out of this Harnai is giving a markable contribution through its harbors time onwards it has been using as a fish landing center on fair weather conditions. The fishing scene had fallen into bad times from its heydays in the 1970s, when fishermen in Thrissur used to come to sell their catch. It lost out largely because the mode of fishing changed from eight-man catamarans to 40-menand engine-powered trawlers and fiber boats. Now, workers say that hardly100 boxes of fish are sold at the fish-landing center. Presently the fisher man community over here is depending on Harbour which is already overloaded. So Harbour engineering department planned to construct a break water that facilitates all whether fish landing.
The facility is meant to be an addition to the harbours in the district with its close proximity to the city. The Harbour site is hardly 8km away from the Dapoli bus station and is next to the main coastal road of the city.

It also discusses development, UX, UI, and quality assurance methods to ensure inclusivity.
This document summarizes a presentation on inclusive design given by Jess Mitchell at OCAD University in Toronto. The presentation aims to change the audience's perspective on inclusive design. Mitchell defines inclusive design as design that considers the full range of human diversity and involves recognizing diversity, using an inclusive process, and having a broader beneficial impact. Mitchell discusses three tenants of inclusive design: recognizing diversity and uniqueness, using an inclusive process and tools, and having a broader beneficial impact. The presentation provides examples of how an inclusive design process can be applied and encourages practicing inclusive design to solve problems in a more creative and affordable way.

Inclusive Design: Thinking Beyond Accessibility | NERDSummit 2017Michael Miles
There are many differences that impact the way people experience the digital world. From age and gender, vision and dexterity, to location and education. Each difference affects digital inclusion and experiences. As builders of the digital world it is our job to build products that are usable by, and inclusive of, as many people as possible. To do so, it is important that we plan for the many differences that make up our users.
This session details the importance of having an inclusive mindset in the ux and content aspects of our digital projects. It explains how Inclusive Design allow for producing positive experiences for a wider audience. Attendees will learn four simple guidelines that they can follow to apply Inclusive Design principles to their ux and content phases. Attendees will leave with the tools they need to reach a bigger user base while also building towards an accessible and inclusive digital world.
This session is intended for anyone who wants to build digital products that reach as many people as possible.
A Continental Conversation on Disability and DevelopmentScott Rains
1) The document discusses a conference on disability and development, with a focus on universal design principles.
2) Universal design aims to make places, information, and products usable by as many people as possible through inclusive, human-centered design.
3) Examples are given of universal design solutions like the ColorADD system for colorblind individuals and Braille handrails at an airport.
Stefano Del Furia - Inclusive Design - Codemotion Rome 2019Codemotion
An inclusive type of approach creates better solutions, because it aims to benefit all users, therefore also those who must cope with disabilities. Thinking in terms of accessibility throughout the entire process, enables the creation of solutions for mobile applications and websites that are actually evolved and not merely alternative. When designing for human diversity, we make possible a global kind of partecipation, with a higher impact on positivity exchange and emotional benefits than we would have when addressing just the disabilities.
How can an industry that places empathy at the core of its practice ignore the big problems facing South Africa and the continent? In a rapidly changing design landscape will UX designers even be relevant in the future? UX designers exist at a unique interdisciplinary juncture and it gives us the opportunity to create inspiring responses to these questions. With the maturity of design thinking, social innovation, and lean startup, we are uniquely placed to re-apply our skills to find new relevance and greater impact in doing work that matters. But taking action is not easy, even if it can be known what is to be done. In this talk David will explore the new mindsets, skills and attitudes UX designers need to adopt to shift from merely doing design to becoming design activists.
This document provides an overview of inclusive design principles and practices. It defines inclusive design as a methodology that draws on the full range of human diversity and includes people with a range of perspectives. The document discusses why inclusive design is important to eliminate mismatches between users and environments, solve problems, and improve lives. It then outlines several practices for inclusive design, including creating a persona spectrum to understand diverse users, using non-binary lenses to decategorize users and discern intersectionality, and providing multimodal content to support different cognitive abilities. Project Sidewalk is used as an example of an inclusive design that benefits users with both permanent and temporary disabilities.
Accessibility Empathy - SXSW 2017 ProposalYvonne So
This panel discusses the importance of accessibility and empathy in design. It aims to help attendees understand different types of disabilities, gain empathy for users' experiences, and learn tools to design inclusively. Attendees will try accessibility simulators, discuss turning empathy into solutions, and walk away understanding how to keep accessibility central to their work. The panelists are UX designers who advocate for accessible design and helping people with disabilities.
This document discusses inclusive design and provides strategies and techniques for practicing inclusive design. It defines inclusive design as design that considers the full range of human diversity with respect to ability, language, culture, gender, age and other forms of human difference. It notes that inclusive design is relevant to basically everything we do, from conversations to product making. The document discusses tools, techniques and strategies for inclusive design including recognizing diversity and uniqueness, using an inclusive process, and having a broader beneficial impact. It also discusses how inclusive design differs from and builds upon universal design.
concludes by emphasizing the importance of including the disability community in the design process and imagining people of all abilities as citizens, customers, and experts on their own experiences.

Stop Trying to Avoid Losing and Start Winning: How BS 8878 reframes the Acces...Jonathan Hassell
This document discusses reframing the conversation around accessibility to focus on strategic inclusion and business benefits rather than risk mitigation. It advocates using the BS 8878 framework to embed accessibility into organizational processes and make all staff responsible. The framework addresses common challenges like costs, measurement, innovation constraints, and defines roles and responsibilities. It argues for choosing the right guidelines and building better websites through an inclusive design approach.

Jane Fulton and Duane Bray provided input on methods for learning about people and prototyping techniques. The author discusses the process of designing something new versus a new version. Prototyping allows for understanding, exploring, and communicating an experience before a final design. Interaction design prototypes are original models that serve as the basis for later stages and represent a pre-final design. Observation is highlighted as the best way to learn about user needs and habits in context rather than through questioning.

Jane Fulton and Duane Bray helped the author with designing interactions. Jane provided methods for learning about people and Duane analyzed prototyping techniques. The author's process involves defining differences between designing new things and new versions, understanding constraints, synthesizing solutions, framing problems, generating ideas, and envisioning solutions. Prototypes are used to understand experiences, explore ideas, and communicate designs. Prototyping techniques include paper sketches, interactive products, and service designs. The design process is non-linear and involves rapid prototyping when designing new things and building on existing designs for new versions.
The document provides a summary of talks and trends from the SXSW 2015 conference related to technology and its impact on society. Key topics discussed include the effect of technology on cognition and memory, quantified self-tracking and health data, extreme bionics, pursuing computer immortality, the future of cybercrime, and debates around transhumanism and human augmentation. Overall the document aims to capture major discussions, innovations, challenges, and implications that emerged around human-technology interactions from the conference events and speakers.
Inclusive communities are better communities. An inclusive community which welcomes diversity and encourages and enables participation is better placed to withstand the challenges of the future. This guide explains what it means to be inclusive, and the methods we can use to make sure everyone gets a chance to join in.

The document discusses issues related to disability in Colombia such as high numbers of disabled people, victims of landmines, and lack of access to education, as well as initiatives to promote social entrepreneurship, universal design, and inclusive businesses that can help integrate people with disabilities. It provides statistics on disability in Colombia and outlines concepts like the ecosystem for supporting those with disabilities, profiles of social entrepreneurs, and principles of universal design that can make products and environments accessible to all.
This work presents a collection of ‘ethical by design’ principles for considering ethical aspects in the design and implementation of technology-based products and services. It is a work-in-progress describing the need for new, innovative concepts and approaches in ethical design-based thinking. The work argues that design thinking should and can be ‘ethical by design’; that designs should strive to go beyond the ethical guidelines that are set by regulatory bodies and other such governance. This manifesto of ‘ethical by design’ principles is intended to support developers, providers, and users in the collaborative process of inherently and explicitly including ethics into product and service design.

2. The case for Inclusive Design | 2
Welcome to inclusive design. We offer
these guidelines as simple starting
points for meaningful change.
Inclusive design is for those who
want to make great products for the
greatest number of people.
These guidelines are the result
of hundreds of hours of research
and humbling conversations with
remarkable people. Still, we have a lot
of work to do before these practices
are our everyday routine. Until then,
we’re inspired to share and improve in
partnership with each other, with our
customers, and with you.

The
case for
inclusive
design
Let’s face it, as designers, we often generate
and evaluate ideas based on what we know.
We strive to make experiences that solve
needs, work well with the human body, and
improve lives.
But here’s the problem: If we use our own
abilities as a baseline, we make things that
are easy for some people to use, but difficult
for everyone else.
There are 7.4 billion people in the world.
Our ambition is to create products that
are physically, cognitively, and emotionally
appropriate for each of them. It starts with
seeing human diversity as a resource for
better designs.
5. 7 The case for inclusive design | 8
Who we design for
If we use our own abilities and biases as a
starting point, we end up with products
designed for people of a specific gender,
age, language ability, tech literacy, and
physical ability. Those with specific access to
money, time, and a social network.
Who gets excluded
When it comes to people, there’s no such
thing as “normal.” The interactions we
design with technology depend heavily
on what we can see, hear, say, and touch.
Assuming all those senses and abilities
are fully enabled all the time creates the
potential to ignore much of the range
of humanity.
Hi
6. The case for Inclusive Design | 109
Why it matters
Designing for inclusivity not only opens
up our products and experiences to more
people with a wider range of abilities. It also
reflects how people really are. All humans
are growing, changing, and adapting to the
world around them every day. We want our
designs to reflect that diversity.
Every decision we make can raise or lower
barriers to participation in society. It’s our
collective responsibility to lower these
barriers though inclusive products, services,
environments, and experiences.
7. 11 The case for inclusive design | 12
Inclusive design defined
Inclusive design: A design methodology
that enables and draws on the full range of
human diversity.
Most importantly, this means including
and learning from people with a range
of perspectives.
Designing inclusively doesn’t mean you’re
making one thing for all people. You’re
designing a diversity of ways for everyone
to participate in an experience with a sense
of belonging.
Many people are unable to participate in
aspects of society, both physical and digital.
Understanding why and how people are
excluded gives us actionable steps to take
towards inclusive design.
Accessibility defined
Accessibility: 1. The qualities that make an
experience open to all. 2. A professional
discipline aimed at achieving No. 1.
We get many questions about the difference
between accessibility and inclusive design.
An important distinction is that accessibility
is an attribute, while inclusive design is a
method. And while practicing inclusive
design should make your products more
accessible, it’s not a process for meeting all
accessibility standards. Ideally, accessibility
and inclusive design work together to make
experiences that are not only compliant with
standards, but truly usable and open to all.

Recognize
exclusion
Exclusion happens when we
solve problems using our
own biases
Almost from the moment the World Health
Organization first published its formal
definitions of disabilities in 1980, we’ve
evolved our understanding of disability
and limitations. A new definition issued
in 2001 speaks to interactions between
people and society. Today when we talk
about disabilities and related limitations,
we include situational impairments,
activity limitations, and restrictions on
participation. We encompass mismatches
between individuals and their environments,
situations, and society as a whole.
Recognize exclusion | 16
10. 17
Disability as personal attribute
“In the context of health experience, a
disability is any restriction or lack of ability
(resulting from an impairment) to perform
an activity in the manner or within the range
considered normal for a human being.”
–World Health Organization
1980
Recognize exclusion | 18
Disability as context dependent
“Disability is not just a health problem. It
is a complex phenomenon, reflecting the
interaction between features of a person’s
body and features of the society in which he
or she lives.”
–World Health Organization
Today
11. 19 Recognize exclusion | 20
Disability happens at the points of
interaction between a person and society.
Physical, cognitive, and social exclusion is
the result of mismatched interactions.
As designers, it’s our responsibility to know
how our designs affect these interactions
and create mismatches.
Points of exclusion help us generate new
ideas and inclusive designs. They highlight
opportunities to create solutions with utility
and elegance for many people.

Recognize exclusion | 22
13. 23 Recognize exclusion | 24
Sometimes exclusion is temporary
Even a short-term injury or context affects
the way people interact with the world
around them, if only for a short time. Think
about looking into a bright light, wearing a
cast, or ordering dinner in a foreign country.
Sometimes exclusion is situational
As people move through different
environments, their abilities can also change
dramatically. In a loud crowd, they can’t
hear well. In a car, they’re visually impaired.
New parents spend much of their day doing
tasks one-handed. An overwhelming day
can cause sensory overload. What’s possible,
safe, and appropriate is constantly changing.
14. 25 Learn from diversity | 26

Learn from
diversity
Human beings are the
real experts in adapting
to diversity.
Inclusive design puts people in the center
from the very start of the process. You need
fresh, diverse perspectives to make it work.
Human beings have amazing capabilities
to adapt to different situations, and
understanding those adaptations is the key
to real insight.
15. Learn from diversity | 28
The insight is in the adaptation
When experiences don’t serve people the
way they should, people adapt. Sometimes
in astonishing ways that the designers never
intended. We can try to imagine how a
person with a given set of abilities would
use an experience, but we can’t imagine
their emotional context, what gives them
joy or frustrates them. Insights come when
we understand those adaptations, and from
what’s shared across everyone’s experiences.
16. 29 Learn from diversity | 30
Interactions with technology depend heavily
on what we can see, hear, say, touch, learn,
and remember. Mobile technologies can
make situational limitations highly relevant
to many people today. Mobile puts in focus
questions like: Are we forced to adapt to
technology, or is technology adapting to us?

17. 31 Learn from diversity | 32
Empathy is an important part of many
different forms of design. When building
empathy for exclusion and disability, it’s
misleading to rely only on simulating
different abilities through blindfolds and
earplugs. Learning how people adapt to
the world around them means spending
time understanding their experience from
their perspective.
When done well, we can recognize more
than just the barriers that people encounter.
We also recognize the motivations that all
people have in common.
18. 33

Solve for
one, extend
to many
by focusing on what’s
universally important to
all humans
There are universal ways human beings
experience the world. All people have
motivations and build relationships. We all
have abilities and limits to those abilities.
Everyone experiences exclusion as they
interact with our designs. On the other hand,
a solution that works well for someone
who’s blind might also benefit any person
driving a car. Inclusive design works across
a spectrum of related abilities, connecting
different people in similar circumstances.
Solve for one, extend to many | 34
19. 35 Solve for one, extend to many | 36
The beauty of constraints
Designing for people with permanent
disabilities can seem like a significant
constraint, but the resulting designs can
actually benefit a much larger number of
people. For example, closed captioning was
created for the hard of hearing community.
But, there are many benefits of captioning
such as reading in a crowded airport, or,
teaching children how to read.
Similarly, high-contrast screen settings
were initially made to benefit people with
vision impairments. But today, many people
benefit from high-contrast settings when
they use a device in bright sunlight. The
same is true for remote controls, automatic
door openers, audiobooks, email, and much
more. Designing with constraints in mind is
simply designing well.

Different people benefit
By designing for someone with a permanent
disability, someone with a situational
limitation can also benefit. For example, a
device designed for a person who has one
arm could be used just as effectively by a
person with a temporary wrist injury or a
new parent holding an infant. We call this
the Persona Spectrum.
One arm
Arm injury
New parent
21. 39 Solve for one, extend to many | 40
More people benefit
Being mindful of the continuum from
permanent disabilities to situational
impairments helps us rethink how our
designs can scale to more people in new
ways. In the United States, 26,000 people a
year suffer from loss of upper extremities.
But when we include people with temporary
and situational impairments, the number is
greater than 20M.

The Persona Spectrum
We use the Persona Spectrum to understand
related mismatches and motivations across
a spectrum of permanent, temporary, and

foster empathy and to show how a solution
scales to a broader audience.

Just as no person exists in isolation, neither
does the Persona Spectrum. The Persona
Network includes friends, coworkers, family
members or even strangers.

24. The case for Inclusive Design | 4645
We aim to build experiences that unify
people and embrace individuality. These
experiences are rooted in interaction
with people and objects in the world
around us. Seeing disability differently and
understanding exclusion helps us extend a
solution for one person into a solution for
millions of people.
25. 47
From
mindset
to making
We’ve come to see inclusive design as a set
of perspectives and practices that champion
human diversity. Take a moment to consider
how you have benefited from solutions
that were originally designed for someone
with different abilities. Take note of your
own permanent, temporary, or situational
disabilities that prevent you from interacting
with society. Observe how people with
different circumstances are excluded from
participating in something you can do
without barriers.
Being inclusive starts with changing
our perception.
Now it’s time to put this mindset into action.
It’s time to create new ways of making. Let’s
get started.
From mindset to making | 48
26. 49 From mindset to making | 50
Traditional user-centered design has many
techniques to clarify human needs, from
personas to scenarios to usability testing.
But, we also need tools that reintroduce
diversity back into our design process.
We need ways to check, balance, and
measure the inclusivity of our designs.

Benefits of inclusive design
Technology that’s designed through
inclusive practices pays off in many
ways including:
1. Increased access
2. Reduced friction
3. More emotional context
The impact of inclusive design is more
than just the products that people use. It’s
also a shift in our mindset, methods, and
behaviors. What we design is a byproduct
of how we design. Measuring the benefits
includes measuring the shift in our culture
and ourselves.
28. 53 The toolkit | 54
The toolkit
This set of guidelines is part of Inclusive:
A Microsoft Design Toolkit. The toolkit is
made to work within an existing design
process. It’s based on three principles:
• Recognize exclusion
• Learn from diversity
• Solve for one, extend to many
We can use this toolkit to evaluate our
existing processes, and develop new
practices. It will continue to evolve as we
learn through experience.
29. 55 The toolkit | 56
The toolkit in practice
Most design processes are iterative and
heuristic. The inclusive design toolkit aims
to complement, not replace, the many
existing types of design process. There are
great human-centered design methods
available from multiple sources. Like a chef’s
recipe, your own design process should be
the primary direction for your design. The
elements of this toolkit can be added, like
ingredients, to improve the inclusivity of
your process. How and when you integrate
them is up to you.

As designers, it’s our responsibility to
understand the power of the interactions
we design for people. We design to
embrace the things that make us human.
It’s what drives us to create a world that
makes lives better. The result is technology
that’s inclusive.
