Taken from the textbook for the course, user oriented properties are things like number of rows of a matrix per processor, number of I/O operations per processor, etc, in addition to the things listed under application oriented properties (maybe it's just another name for it?).
I supposed it is named as such because as a user it is "easy" to follow constraints such as keeping the number of X per resource.

The slide seems to be implying that user-oriented properties and application-oriented properties are the same thing. I think this makes sense since, to the person who's developing a computing platform (in this lecture, a processor), programmers are users. They think of scaling in terms of how their problem breaks into subproblems, while you (the processor developer) think of scaling in terms of the performance of your system.
What's an example of a user-oriented property?
