Privacy
1. What is privacy?
Fully define and describe privacy and it various
categories and types as identified by environmental psychologists.
(Go beyond a 1-sentence description of "fact" -
explore the nuances and facets of this phenomenon!)
NOTE:
You may choose to answer #2 or answer one question from the
Privacy Regulation Strategies handout (see
below).
2. Write an opinion
piece on the use of surveillance cameras in public settings.
Do you think they are acceptable? Why or why not? Under what
circumstances? Do people have the right to privacy in public
space? (maybe this depends on how you define privacy?..hmm...)
Privacy
Regulation Strategies (pick 1 question below in place
of #2)
For each of these
scenarios, think about the social strategies that the person
could employ to address their needs/desires for privacy. Then,
consider whether there are design solutions for each of these
scenarios. Other than a gut rehab – what possible design
strategies could be used to help address these privacy needs?
Think in terms of simpler solutions that could be used to
retrofit a pre-existing space.
1. Imagine that
you are a project manager trying to write a report on a tight
deadline, but you are also trying to be somewhat responsive
to your staff. How do you communicate your need to work as
well as your desire to be responsive?
2. Imagine that
after a life of caring for yourself independently, you are
now 75 years old, you have broken your hip and you must stay
in a nursing home for a few months. What type of strategies
and activities might you engage in to maintain your privacy
or dignity despite the need to have strangers bathe you and
attend to your other daily functions?
3. Imagine that
you are 18 years old and about to move far away to attend
a university. You don’t know anyone there, and you have
been assigned to share a dormitory room with someone you have
not yet met. How will you develop a good relationship.
