Abstract :
This research explores conflicts over control of shared resources in multiple person households from an individual´s perspective. This paper outlines one of the methods used in this ongoing research: cultural probes. The approach showed success in the use of probes to promote thinking about subtle processes and highlighting issues for discussion. Further work will involve using these case studies to inform designers of future homes.
