Abstract

The research explored what images about "making-artifacts" have been widespread in the society by conducting an online social survey for adults, based on an open-ended questionnaire item. The survey included administration of a scale measuring awareness of "making-artifacts, and relationships between the extracted images about and awareness of "making-artifacts" were analyzed. The analysis results extracted image categories related to industries and those not related to them. The former categories consisted of "professional technologies," "types, fields, organizations," and "goods, products." The later categories consisted of "tradition" and "mind, culture." Moreover, the results found that respondents having the images not related to industries occupied about a half of the whole respondents, and there was a difference on distributions of these images between generations. Furthermore, it was suggested that the awareness of "making-artifacts" was generally positive, and respondents having the images not related to industries had more positive awareness of "making-artifacts" related to individuals' daily life than those having images related to industries.
