Abstract

In order to improve consideration of need and use in Benin, scenario concept developed and used in the design of IT systems was transformed for the specific context of local design of small scale agricultural and food processing equipment. Four scenarios were proposed. They aim to create interaction between designers and users in order to foster a shared understanding of both the problem and the solutions. The proposed scenarios are objects that act as user interfaces.
