Kansei Engineering for Quantification of Indigenous Knowledges in Agro-industrial Technology

Abstract

The term of indigenous knowledge refers to specific local knowledge in consumer/user which should be incorporated by agro-industry to compete in a globalized worlds. This research highlighted Kansei Engineering as a potential approach to quantify indigenous knowledge in agro-industrial technology. The research objectives were: 1) To review the quantification tools of indigenous knowledges in agro-industrial technology using Kansei Engineering; 2) To characterize indigenous knowledges in Indonesian agro-industry. Case study was demonstrated in Indonesian food product, services and ergonomic technology. Quantification was characterized using widely developed quantification tools for indigenous knowledges. The research results concluded some indigenous knowledges which could be incorporated in indigenous knowledge-based innovations.

Keywords: Agro-industry, Ergonomic technology, Product, Services, Technical parameters
