Since its first usage, people benefit not only from its physicalproperties, but also from its social and emotional properties. In this study,current usage of the doorbell, further usage scenarios of it, the ways of sustainingits physical and social meaning while applying new technological developmentsto it will be discussed and handled as a design problem. Problem field is triedto be determined with the help of the design thinking approaches and methods.Detailed information about the determined problem has been collected andsolution suggestions and alternatives tried to be improved. In every stage ofthe study like problem definition, detailing or suggestion, co-workingconstituted the main path of the study. In order to do that, workshops weremade. So, problem has been analyzed in a more detailed way. In this study,current problem, user profiles, suggestions to the current problems of thedoorbell are shared systematically. The data, gathered by this study, can formthe research basis of a product development activity of a doorbell. Needs,applied solutions and suggestions of different user groups on mentioned subjecthas made this study valuable. CR - [1]. R.
