Our target user is a single about 20 years old woman or man student, who lives in the big city. He/She tries to live according to ecologic standards and wants to own as little as possible. His/her hobbies are student activities and different kind of sports like climbing.
Our main character is using the solution, because he/she:
-
Knows that producing new items consume natural resources often without a real purpose
-
Don’t want to buy everything by himself, because students haven’t much money
-
Have many close communities and friends and wants to try exciting things with them
First user joins to groups close his/her, for examble the group of his/her living floor in the student apartment building. Then he/she thinks what items he/she have that the others may not have and what they maybe wants to borrow. For example the interesting book related to gamification. When user joins to the group, all his/her items joins also to the group and anyone in the group can send a borrow request.
Users can use it everywhere: it’s near like in user’s own home, he/she just can go to take the item from the member of the group by sending a borrow request and getting an answer to it.
People don’t need to buy everything to themselves when they move from childhood home to the own apartment. Also the consumption of natural resources decreases. People will feel more togerthness and create local communities.
