چکیده انگلیسی


• Interactions with water management systems of paramount importance in water scarce countries.
• Effective user mental models key to efficient usability, problem-solving, and maintenance.
• Users' mental models were often widely divergent from the designers' models.
• Ineffective troubleshooting resulted from poor mental conceptualisations.
• Improved induction and labelling of system components recommended.

This intergroup case study compared users' mental models with an expert design model of a water management system in a green building. The system incorporates a constructed wetland component and a rainwater collection pond that together recycle water for re-use in the building and its surroundings. The sample consisted of five building occupants and the cleaner (6 users) and two experts who were involved with the design of the water management system. Users' mental model descriptions and the experts' design model were derived from in-depth interviews combined with self-constructed (and verified) diagrams. Findings from the study suggest that there is considerable variability in the user mental models that could impact the efficient functioning of the water management system. Recommendations for improvements are discussed.
