Design and Ergonomics: Demands Identification Bases

Abstract

This article presents the ergonomic analysis of work in a creative community that is engaged in carpet weaving on handlooms. The ergonomic analysis started from the user interaction with the loom, in which the design acts through the representation of the system involving the work situation. Through a methodology of ergonomic analysis, this study presents the diagnosis of existing demands and proposes an improvement in the workplace, in order to contribute to the quality of life of artisans bringing to it their sociocultural context.
