'In MY situation, I would dislike THAAAT!' Role Play as Assessment Method for Tools Supporting Participatory Planning

摘要

The transitory nature of some participatory planning settings means that traditional PD methods are not feasible during early stages of technology development. Role-play represents a promising technique for addressing this situation. We present our experiences in using role play as a participatory assessment method on two variants of a system for participatory planning. We summarize system-related assessment results and discuss limitations and potential improvements of this method.
