Design of Sanitary Ware Suitable for Aging Based on AHP-entropy Weight Method
In order to solve the inconvenience of the elderly in the process of bathroom,AHP-entropy weight method is used to assist the design and research of bathroom products suitable for aging.Through interview and observation,the specific problems in the process of sanitary ware for the elderly were obtained,and then the design elements suitable for aging sanitary ware products were determined,and the design elements were transformed into 16 kinds of demand indicators in four dimensions,namely functional demand,psychological demand,appearance demand and material demand.A hierarchical model was built to calculate the objective weight of each indicator,and then the entropy weight method was used to calculate the subjective weight of each indicator.The comprehensive weight is obtained,the design evaluation model suitable for aging sanitary products is constructed,and the design practice of shower products is completed.Finally,the rationality of the design scheme is proved by comprehensive fuzzy evaluation.AHP--entropy weight method realizes the subjective and objective unity of elderly users'demand for aging sanitary products,can effectively build a scientific and reasonable evaluation system,and provides new ideas and reference cases for the design of aging sanitary products.
