Demystifying User Needs in Wardrobe Furniture Design: A Network Analysis via Text Mining and DEMATEL-ANP Integration

Core user demands of wardrobe furniture design are becoming increasingly complex. Traditional design methods fail to systematically analyze the interrelationships among these multidimensional factors.

description Core user demands of wardrobe furniture design are becoming increasingly complex. Traditional design methods fail to systematically analyze the interrelationships among these multidimensional factors. This study integrated web text mining, the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method, and the Analytic Network Process (ANP) to construct a causal network model for wardrobe design, and further optimized design proposals through the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). By applying Python technology, user evaluation data were extracted from mainstream e-commerce platforms, with high-frequency user demand keywords being identified and categorized into four key dimensions. DEMATEL was employed to quantify the causal intensity and centrality of the identified factors; ANP was subsequently utilized to construct a network hierarchy, revealing the feedback mechanisms between functional modules and user experience. Finally, TOPSIS was applied to rank three design proposals, among which Option 3—featuring flexible space partitioning, auto-sensing lighting, and anti-tip design—was selected as the optimal solution. The findings demonstrate that integrating text mining with the DEMATEL-ANP-TOPSIS framework can effectively identify the prioritization of user needs, thereby providing scientific decision support for furniture design.
