Translating Human Values to Design Requirements : The Case of Developing Digital Government Collaborative Platform (DGCP) for Environmental Sustainability in Sri Lanka

• This paper aims to translate human values to the design requirements for developing a Digital Government Collaborative Platform (DGCP) for environmental sustainability in Sri Lanka. In the study, van de Poel's value hierarchy guides the value translation process. The human values are thoroughly reviewed and converted into norms and subsequently into design requirements with the consultation of information system design experts and environment-related government authority officers in Sri Lanka. As a result, thirty-one design requirements are identified for the design of DGCP. The study contributes new knowledge to the Value Sensitive Design literature in translating human values to design requirements, especially in an e-government system for a developing country. Further, the study emphasizes the importance of considering legal acts, policy, and other regulations in designing e-government artifacts such as the DGCP for environmental sustainability.
