Os parques urbanos Sul-Americanos guardam reminiscências históricas e culturais cristalizadas em seus espaços naturais, nos monumentos e obras erigidas. A mensagem resultante desse universo visual pode ser utilizada para transmissão de conhecimento acerca do patrimônio local, mas requer um meio eficiente de comunicação para transformar esse potencial em informação clara e precisa, para entendimento e consumo dos usuários. Conforme constatado na analise dos projetos de sinalização visual ambiental do Parque Estadual Serra da Cantareira em São Paulo (Brasil), Güirã-Oga em Misiones, (Argentina) e Jardim Botânico no Rio de Janeiro (Brasil), os sistemas sinaléticos compostos por imagens e textos elaborados a partir da leitura e síntese do repertório local além de informar, direcionar e orientar, ainda provocam no usuário a reflexão crítica sobre as questões do patrimônio, com repercussão positiva para todo sistema. Dessa idéia, deriva a elaboração de diretrizes gerais para projetos de sinalização visual ambiental para parques urbanos Sul-Americanos, com o propósito de irradiar conhecimento sobre as paisagens naturais e culturais dos países da América Latina e em conseguinte, obter os benefícios inerentes como proteção e conservação. Para subsidiar a elaboração de diretrizes, uma base analítica de parques urbanos será planificada a partir da analise comparativa dos Parques Metropolitano de Santiago (Chile), do Ibirapuera de São Paulo (Brasil), Tres de Febrero de Buenos Aires (Argentina) e Del Prado de Montevidéu (Uruguai). Os métodos e práticas utilizados para as leituras dos parques se referem ao conjunto de multimeios propalados por Kevin Lynch (1988) na criação de urban design para cidades americanas. / The South American urban parks keep both historical and cultural reminiscences that are crystallized in their natural areas, in their monuments, and in their architecture. On the one hand, the message one acquires from this visual universe may be used to transmit knowledge about the local patrimony; however, it requires efficient communication means to transform this potential into clear and accurate information that leads to users\' understanding and consume. As verified in the visual environmental signage projects of Parque Estadual Serra da Cantareira in São Paulo (Brazil), Güirã-Oga in Misiones (Argentina), and of the Botanic Garden in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), the signal systems - composed of images and texts based on research conducted in those areas and on the synthesis of the gathered information - not only inform, direct, and guide, but also lead users to make critical reflection on questions related to the patrimony, with consequent positive effects on the system as a whole. This idea is the basis from which visual environmental projects for South American urban parks are derived aiming to disseminate knowledge about natural and cultural landscapes of Latin American countries, and as a result, obtain the inherent benefits such as protection and conservation. In order to subsidize the elaboration of guidelines, an analytical basis for the urban parks will be planned based on a comparative analysis of the Parque Metropolitano in Santiago (Chile), Ibirapuera in São Paulo (Brazil), Tres de Febrero in Buenos Aires (Argentina), and Del Prado in Montevideo (Uruguay). The methods and practices chosen to research and analyze the parks comply with Kevin Lynch\'s set of multimedia (1960) used for creating the urban design for American cities.

Gustaf Fröding hotell behöver en smidigare lösning för att uppdatera och visa information om konferensbokning. De använder sig idag papperskyltar för att informera och vägleda kunder till konferensrummen. Pappersskyltarna ska ersättas med surfplattor för att bland annat ge bättre intryck på deras kunder. Surfplattorna behöver en applikation för att ta emot och visa materialet. Vi utvecklade en prototyp för detta ändamål som sedan ska användas för vidareutveckling av systemet. Denna uppsats beskriver vår utveckling av denna applikation. Resultatet blev en webbapplikation skriven i ASP.NET MVC som är baserad på Gustaf Fröding hotells behov. Webbapplikationen har administrativa funktioner för sammansättning av media, vilket skapar presentationer. Surfplattor kopplar upp sig till webbapplikationen via en unik URL som visar tilldelad presentation. Applikationen levererades och beslutet om vidareutveckling är ännu inte bestämt. / Gustaf Fröding hotel needs a smother agile solution for updating and displaying the information on conference booking.

Impulse buying is a widely pervasive phenomenon. Statistics shows that more and more shoppers are experiencing irresistible urge to purchase unplanned and in most cases unnecessary product. Existing researches fall short in identifying most suitable tools that marketers can adopt in order to promote impulsive sales. Therefore, this thesis provides deep analysis of those, controllable factors that influence impulse buying. Particularly four external cues are examined: product display, promotional signage, sensory elements and social atmospherics. Research has deductive approach. First, existing academic articles and research papers are analyzed. Then two different methods of primary data collection are covered. Self-reported online survey is used as a main research tool. Received data of 193 respondents is analyzed in SPSS software using Pearson correlation test and standard multiple regression analysis. Results of store experiment and interviews are covered next. The research concludes that product display has strongest impact on impulse buying, influences and encourages consumer unplanned purchase decisions. Thus, marketers are advised to promote product presentation in the stores.

La presente investigación se realizó en el Parque Zonal Cahuide en el distrito de Ate Vitarte, con el apoyo del administrador quien manifestó que la señalética con laque cuenta el parque actualmente no se encuentraen una ubicación adecuada e incluso en ciertas áreas del parque no existe señalización alguna por no contar con presupuesto asignado por SERPAR ni por la Municipalidad de Lima, todo debe de salir de los propios recursos económicos que genera el parque a razón del cobro para el ingreso de los usuarios, alquiler de los campos deportivos, entre otros ingresos que se generan.El diseño gráfico permite aplicar todos los conocimientos en el campo dela comunicación visual transmitiendo la información a través de imágenes o símbolos.Esta propuesta gráfica consiste en la realización de una aplicación de realidad virtual colocado en la web de SERPAR que mediante el recorrido de tomas fotográficas el usuario conozca los distintos atractivos con los que cuenta el parque y persuadir a más usuarios a visitarlo, de tal manera cuando las personas acudan de manera presencial no llegue a perderse ni desorientarse. A través de la página web de SERPAR en la sección noticias se publicará un post para generar mayor difusión y concurrencia, por ende, mayores ingresos para el mantenimiento colocación o reubicación de la señalética.Concluyendo que esta aplicación tiene viabilidad para ser aplicada en un futuro. / This investigation was carried out in the “Parque Zonal Cahuide”, located in the district of Ate Vitarte. With the support of the administration, who stated that the signage that the park currently has, is not in a suitable location, and even it doesn’t exist in certain areas. This happens for nothaving a budget assigned by SERPAR or the Municipality of Lima. Everything must come from the own economic resources, usually generated by the entrance ticket that user of the park must pay, the rent of the sports fields, among other incomes.Graphic design allows to apply all the knowledge in the field of visual communication, transmitting information through images or symbols.This graphic proposal consists of the realization of a virtual reality application placed on the SERPAR website that, through the tour of photographic shots, the users will know the many attractions that the park has and persuades more new users to visit it. In such a way, when people attend in person the won’t get lost or disoriented.Through the SERPAR website, in the news section, a post will be published to generate greater dissemination and attendance, therefore, higher income for the maintenance, placement or relocation of the signage.Concluding that this application is viable to be applied in the future. / Trabajo de Suficiencia Profesional

Dagens textilindustri står inför ett problem där det produceras för mycket kläder i relation tillefterfrågan. Den höga konkurrensen i branschen förutsätter att företagen använder sig av kampanjer och realisationer för att få varorna sålda. Trots detta rapporterar flertalet företag att de inte lyckats sälja slut reavarorna vilket har lett till minskade marginaler. Den här studien kommer att undersöka hur skyltning i butik påverkar konsumenternas uppmärksamhet vidshopping på rea. De två aspekterna undersökningen kommer utgå från är färgens och budskapets inverkan på uppmärksamheten. Tidigare forskning påvisar att skyltning är ett effektivt sätt att locka kunder till butiker. Vid utformningen av skyltningen bör företagen ta hänsyn till kundsegmentet eftersom konsumenter tenderar att respondera olika beroende på vilket sätt ett budskap är utformat. Studien baseras på ett kontrollerat experiment med ett tekniskt verktyg, eyetracking. Experimentet utfördes i en klädbutik eftersom en naturlig shoppingupplevelse eftersträvades. En kompletterande enkät användes för att samla in den information eyetracking-glasögonen inte kunde generera. Resultatet av studien visar att konsumenter tittar på skyltningen vidshopping på rea. Gällande budskapet på skylten framgår det att procentavdrag är mest attraktivt då dessa skyltar givits mest uppmärksamhet. Studien visar även att en grå skyltfångar konsumenternas uppmärksamhet i större utsträckning än en röd. / Today’s textile industry faces a problem as it produces too much clothing in relation to the demand. The high level of competition in the industry require the companies to apply different campaigns and sales to successfully sell off the products. Despite this, several companies report that they have failed to sell off their discounted products which has resulted in reduced margins. This study will examine in-store signage and its impact on consumers’ attention when shopping reduced price products. The two aspects the study will proceed from are the effect of the colour and the message on consumers’ attention. Previous studies demonstrate that signage is an effective approach of attracting customers to stores. When it comes to the framing of signs, companies should consider customer segment since customers tend to respond differently depending on how a message is framed. The study is based on a controlled experiment with a technical tool, eye tracking. The experiment was conducted in a clothing store for the purpose of pursuing a real-world environment and experience. A complementary questionnaire was used to collect information that the eye tracking-glasses were unable to generate. The results of the study states that customers pay attention to signage when shopping discounted products. Regarding the choice of message framing, it appears that percentage promotions are most attractive due to the attention payed to these signs. The study also shows that the grey sign captured consumer attention to a greater extent than the red one. The study is a bachelor thesis written in Swedish.

Fatigue and drowsy driving in the state of Utah has been a causal factor in thousands of crashes over the years and poses a serious threat to public safety. Consequently, the purpose of this research was to evaluate the impact of drowsy driving in the state, to identify locations where fatigue and drowsy driving may be contributing factors to current crashes, and to identify methods to help mitigate these crashes. A 3-year drowsy driving crash rate spanning the years 2002 – 2004 was used to determine which segments of Utah highway are most prone to drowsy driving crashes. Drowsy driving corridors were located on Interstates 15, 70, 80, and 84 as well as United States Routes 89 and 91. Furthermore, State Route 36 also had two drowsy driving corridors. In order to recommend appropriate drowsy driving countermeasures for the drowsy driving corridors, a review of the existing countermeasures was conducted. The existing countermeasures included cable median barrier, rumble strips, rest areas, and drowsy driving freeway signage. The freeway signage is used to alert drivers of the adverse effects of drowsy driving and was the basis for a before-after study as well as a public survey of drowsy driving along Interstate 80 west of Salt Lake City. The before-after study of the drowsy driving freeway signage concluded that the freeway signage has played a part in reducing the number of crashes by as much as 63 percent in the eastbound direction and by as much as 22 percent in the westbound direction. As indicated, a public survey was conducted at two rest areas to supplement the findings of the before-after analysis. Using the 405 completed surveys, 14 Chi-Square tests were conducted with five of the test yielding statistically significant results. Finally, recommendations were made for the 41 drowsy driving corridors resulting from the 3-year crash rate analysis. Drowsy driving countermeasures recommended include: additional shoulder and centerline rumble strips, cable median barrier, guardrail replacement, and drowsy driving highway signage. Drowsy driving countermeasures not yet implemented but which should be considered by the Utah Department of Transportation are transverse rumble strips, wider longitudinal pavement markings, in-lane pavement markings indicating “AVOID FATIGUE DRIVING,” minimizing edge drop off, flattening slopes in clear zones, and adding a modified rest area.
