Title Design and development methods for improving acceptance of IT among emergency responders Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Acceptance of ICT, Methodology, User Centered Design, UCD
Abstract Various sources report a low adoption of IT-based tools in emergency response, as well as a negative attitude of

responders to such tools. The responders? needs, simply put, are not met by the IT-based tools offered to them.

Observing this situation through a user-centered design lens, we note that such problems typically stem from

insufficient or erroneous context analysis. The deficiencies become even more pronounced when considering that

emergency response represents a complex, adaptive socio-technical system. We also note that the appropriate

methodology for designing ER systems is rarely discussed in literature and in research papers. To fill that void, the

present paper discusses a minimal set of techniques that, both in our experience and according to state of the art

practice, can guide developers towards positively-accepted IT systems for emergency response.

Title Why IT systems for emergency response get rejected: examining responders' attitude to IT Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication ISCRAM 2018 Conference Proceedings – 15th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2018
Volume Issue Pages 994-1002
Keywords Acceptance of ICT, Survey on existing approaches, Impact of IT, Grounded Theory
Abstract Emergency responders' attitude to IT is marked by resistance, aversity, and rejection. This does not extend to technology in general and is specific to IT alone. Current research on the topic only presents partial, scattered, and unconnected accounts that do not provide a starting point on how to tackle this attitude. The available models for technology acceptance are also generic and do not take into account the specifics of the emergency response domain. Through extensive user research combined with a grounded theory approach, this paper identifies twelve problem areas from which responders' negative attitude towards IT arises. By extending the technology acceptance models with this new knowledge, we provide system designers with an understanding of what to tackle and tune in their IT system designs so that a positive attitude among emergency responders can be achieved.

Title Learning From Non-Acceptance: Design Dimensions for User Acceptance of E-Triage Systems Type Conference Article
Year 2017 Publication Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2017
Volume Issue Pages 798-813
Keywords Triage; E-Triage; Survey on existing approaches; Acceptance of ICT; Design guidelines
Abstract As of 26 December 2016, seventeen electronic triage systems for disaster triage have been proposed in the ACM, IEEE, and ISCRAM publication databases. Most of these systems have remained inside the laboratory; the rest have disappeared entirely. Responders still prefer to do triage with paper tags from the 1960's, while no research has been presented on why the proposed e-triage systems have not found acceptance and use in the field. Based on exhaustive literature research and on the findings from the four-year long, EU research project BRIDGE , this paper presents e-triage acceptance dimensions, analyzes the main reasons why proposed systems have been rejected, and guides designers towards upcoming, well-accepted e-triage systems.

Title Acceptance study on application systems to improve situational incident management through bi-directional communication between citizens and decision-makers in emergencies and crises situations Type Conference Article
Year 2023 Publication Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2023
Volume Issue Pages 197-207
Keywords Emergency Control Centre; Situational Awareness; Acceptance of ICT; Population; Crowdsourcing; Video Support; Bidirectional Communication
Abstract Efficient hazard prevention and disaster control depend on situational awareness. Situational information is – among others – provided by citizens on the ground. Disaster managers are often reluctant to use such information on a large scale or in a systematic way for fear of being overwhelmed by information overload in a stressful crisis. New information technologies for crisis management are strongly dependent on the acceptance of the people using them and can only be successful as socio-technical systems. Therefore, 354 employees of public and private emergency operation centres as well as members of crisis management teams were asked to assess different information sharing technologies. 504 people from the public responded to an online survey about their willingness to use such technologies. The results indicate a high level of acceptance by both user groups for bi directional communication technologies for situation management and the improvement of situational awareness.
