A Comprehensive Approach to Human Factors in Developing Countries

Existing human factors knowledge, generated in a high technology environment, can be drawn upon to meet the needs of less developed countries with a lower technology environment. To open up effectively this potentially rich field of human factors activity, a broadly conceived approach to the anticipated problems is needed. Preliminary suggestions and methods are offered towards such an approach. In addition to the cited references, a bibliography containing a variety of references relevant to human factors in developing countries is included.
