Tiivistelmä
This study examines how UX design can promote sustainability by comparing traditional and sustainable techniques. It explores trade-offs in engagement and user preferences in 2024, identifying gaps in awareness of sustainable practices.
Two prototypes were tested that had: sustainable UX features and traditional UX features. Results show users appreciated sustainable designs for simplicity and eco-consciousness, while traditional designs were preferred for visual appeal and interactivity. However, many users were unaware of the environmental benefits of features like dark mode and lazy loading.
The study concludes that combining sustainable and traditional UX features while raising awareness can create engaging, eco-friendly interfaces. Further research with larger samples and real-world testing is recommended to refine sustainable UX practices.
