Abstract
The study aimed to design digital bags that comply with the functional requirements of Hajj and Umrah pilgrims in the light of ergonomics and then to identify the differences between specialists in achieving design patterns of bags made for pilgrims' safety. It also aimed to measure the extent to which Hajj and Umrah pilgrims are satisfied with the proposed designs. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, with a study sample of (301) individuals who had participated in Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages. The study's findings indicated statistically significant variations, at a significance level of (0.01) among the six suggested designs for smart bags, based on the feedback from Hajj and Umrah pilgrims. When testing the direction of significance, the two researchers found that design no. 1 was the best among all designs, followed by design no. 3, then design no. 6. Results also showed statistically significant differences at the level of (0.01) among the six suggested designs for smart bags based on the experts' assessments. When testing the direction of significance, the researchers found that design no. 1 stood out as the optimal choice, followed by design no. 6, then design no. 2. The study concluded that the ergonomic standards should be applied in the smart design, taking into consideration the safety factor, as the two researchers followed the ergonomic standards within the framework of designing smart bags through several elements, namely locating the bag, combating thefts, and enabling bags with RFID technology to identify the user's identity. The study provided an overview of recent trends in the ergonomic field to improve human performance and achieve product development. It resulted in a practical guide to understanding the ergonomic guidelines in smart design. The two researchers recommended considering the ergonomic aspects of fashion design and its supplements, especially the smart ones. They also recommended conducting several studies dealing with the impact of ergonomic considerations on fashion design and its supplements.
