A “Walk through” Ergonomic Analysis of a National Resort Hotel as a Conference Facility

During the last annual meeting of the Human Factors Society, two members of the Environmental Design Technical Group conducted a “walk through” ergonomic analysis of the national resort hotel which hosted the event. Their report included observations and analyses of some of the hotels services and facilities and their impact on the conferees' stay and on their attendance and participation in the conference sessions. Recommendations for corrective remodelling, function allocation, and improvements in service were noted where deemed appropriate.
