Issues in physiological anthropology related to design

This paper describes some basic terms and concepts relating to design in general, as the profession of a designer sometimes seems vague due to lack of knowledge. The concept of humanms in a design system, or in anthropology, or to be more precise in physiological anthropology, is partially pointed out in connection with design, as well as the consequences arising from the deviation from the design rules.The concepts of design and planning are discussed only in general terms. Special attention is paid to the methods and levels of design as possible basis for a teory of design. The system Man-machine-environment is introduced as a possible, non-obligatory theory of design.
