Sri Nastiti Nugrahani Ekasiwi, M.T Co-Promotor : Ir. Muhammad Faqih, M.S.A, PhD ABSTRAK Interior adalah objek dengan lingkup ke dua terkecil setelah ‘produk’ dan sebelum struktur dalam bahasan built environment. ‘Interior’ menjadi penting untuk dibahas dan diteliti serta dikembangkan teori bidang ilmunya karena ‘interior’ merupakan lingkungan terdekat manusia dan menjadi objek konkrit tempat di mana intensitas direct-interface aktivitas manusia dominan terjadi, terhadap dan di dalamnya. Latar belakang yang menjadi awal permasalahan penelitian konstruksi teori sustainable interior adalah: isu global tentang degradasi lingkungan yang memicu munculnya salah satu respon berupa isu sustainable development; perubahan pola kehidupan tradisional (di Indonesia) ke modern menuntut konsekuensi kebutuhan ruang sebagai penyesuaian dari aktivitas komuni di luar ruang ke aktivitas individu di dalam ruang; dan celah antara perkembangan teori dan praktik desain interior. Dalam pembangunan berkelanjutan di Indonesia, pemanfaatan semua sumber daya alam dan manusia pada masa sekarang ini hendaknya dijabarkan pada tujuan: ekologi, sosial, ekonomi. Model konstruksi teori general dan kontekstual sustainable interior dengan pendekatan holistik eco-socio-econo interior menjadi masalah dan sekaligus tujuan penelitian. Penelitian konstruksi teori sustainable interior dilakukan secara keseluruhan dengan memilih jenis penelitian kualitatif. Secara umum , metode yang akan digunakan dalam pelaksanaan penelitian mengacu pada metode konstruksi teoritis. Metode konstruksi teoritis tersebut akan mendasari dan menjadi orientasi metode-metode lain yang digunakan pada tahap penelitian. Tahapan penelitiannya adalah: theoretical problem, hypothesis and argumentation idea, literature analizing, dan practical views exploration. Metode-metode yang digunakan pada tiap tahap diantaranya adalah: logical argumentation, critical method, logical and critical argumentation, source selection, source classification, source characterization, report, identification, and description. Hasil penelitian berupa rumusan teori atau model sustainable interior yang terdiri dari pendekatan holistik eco-interior, socio-interior, dan econo-interior dengan masing- masing variabel, prinsip general, dan orientasi kontekstualnya. Variabel eco-interior adalah: organisasi ruang, pemilihan material, sistem pencahayaan, sistem penghawaan, sanitasi air, polusi dalam ruang, emisi elektromaknetik, dan manajemen sampah dalam ruang. Variabel socio-interior adalah: identitas budaya, interaksi dan kohesi, perilaku dan kepranataan, partisipasi, dan desain universal. Variabel econo-interior adalah: efisiensi, pemberdayaan dan pertumbuhan, potensi, dan pemerataan. Pendekatan eco-interior, socio-interior, dan econo-interior saling terkoneksi satu sama lain membentuk kesatuan holistik sustainable interior. “Harmony in Between…. from the inside out and from the outside in...

Muhammad Faqih, M.S.A, PhD ABSTRACT Interior is an object with the second smallest scope after 'product' and before 'structure' in a discussion of built environment. The theory of interior has become significant to be discussed and researched and therefore to be developed, since interior is the nearest environment of human being and is a concrete object of place where the intensity of direct-interface is dominantly happening towards and inside humans activity. Background of this research is the significance of the construction theory of sustainable interior as a global issue of environment degradation which triggers the issue of sustainable development as the response; the changing pattern of traditional lifestyle (of Indonesian) to modern lifestyle which demands the consequence of space needs as an adaptation from outside-community activities to inside-individual activities; and the gap found between the theory and practice of interior design. Nowadays, in order to enable the continuity of Indonesian development, the maximum use of all human and natural resources should be defined into three objectives: ecology, social, and economy. The model of general construction theory and contextual sustainable interior with eco-socio-econo interior as a holistic approach has become the main problem and objective of this research. This construction theory of sustainable interior research is conducted as a whole through qualitative research method. In general, the method used in this research is based on construction theory. This method will become the base and orientation of other methods that will be used in the research steps. The research steps are as follows: logical argumentation, critical method, logical and critical argumentation, source selection, source classification, source characterization, report, identification, and description. The methods used in each step, among others are as follows: theoretical problem, hypothesis and argumentation idea, literature analyzing, and practical views exploration. The research result is a theoretical formulation or sustainable interior model, consists of the holistic approach of eco-interior, socio-interior, and econo-interior, with each of the variables, general principles, and contextual orientation. The variables of eco-interior are as follows: space organization, material choices, lighting system, air conditioning system, water sanitation, indoor pollution, electromagnetic emission, indoor waste management. The variables of socio-interior are as follows: culture identity, universal design, human behaviour, participation, interaction and cohesion. and the variables of econo-interior are as follows: efficiency, empowerment and growth, potential, equity. These approaches of eco-interior, socio-interior, and econo-interior are intertwined and form a holistic unity of sustainable interior. “Harmony in Between…. from the inside out and from the outside in... Towards Sustainability” Keywords: sustainable interior, eco-interior, socio-interior, econo-interior. viii PENGANTAR Segala pujian, hormat, dan syukur kepada Tuhan atas segala anugerah hikmat dan berkat yang telah dilimpahkan, sehingga penulis dapat melaksanakan penelitian dan menyelesaikan penulisan disertasi dengan judul: “Konstruksi Teori Sustainable Interior Design: Pendekatan Holistik Eco-Socio-Econo Interior Design Kontekstual di Indonesia” ini.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The concept of aging successfully has become increasingly important as demographics shift towards an aging population. Successful aging has been defined to include (1) a low probability of disease and disease-related disability; (2) a high level of physical and cognitive functioning; and (3) an active engagement in life. The built environment can create opportunities or constraints for seniors to participate in social and productive activities. Universally designed spaces are more easily accessed and used by a spectrum of people without specialized adaptations. Thus, a universally designed environment creates opportunities for older adults to participate in these activities without the stigmatization associated with adapted or accessible designs. Providing older adults with specific universal design options (e.g., lever handle faucets) has the potential to increase the ease of completing activities of daily living, which promotes a continual engagement in life.

  • HUMAN-CENTERED DESIGN (Also Known As Universal Design, Life Span Design, Inclusive Design)
    Livable New York Resource Manual http://www.aging.ny.gov/LivableNY/ResourceManual/Index.cfm I.9 Esther Semsei Greenhouse Environmental Gerontologist Ithaca, NY HUMAN-CENTERED DESIGN (also known as universal design, life span design, inclusive design) Human-centered design is based on the physical and psychological needs of the human user, enabling the user to function at the highest level possible. It includes products and aspects of the physical environment that meet the needs and abilities of the user, not those that demand adaptation to the design by the user. Human- centered design is not a design style, but is a process for designing and developing buildings, products, and communities that is grounded in information about the people who will be using them—utilizing research findings and data on cognitive abilities, physical abilities and limitations, social needs, and task requirements in order to provide living-environment solutions that enable all users to function at their highest capacity—regardless of age or ability. The principles underlying human-centered design range across disciplines—from community design, to architectural design, to interior design, industrial design, and design of communication venues. And, according to the Institute for Human Centered Design,1 universal or human-centered design "has a parallel in the green design movement, which also offers a framework for design problem-solving based on the core value of environmental responsibility. Universal Design and green design are comfortably two sides of the same coin—green design focusing on environmental sustainability, universal design on social sustainability." Some examples of human-centered design include: o Lever door handles, which provide ease of opening for children with small hands, elderly people with reduced wrist strength, adults with full use of their arms and hands who may be carrying packages and babies, or an individual with no hands.

But the promise of significant benefits omfr this revolution, which has been driven largely by technologists, will not be realized without more careful planning and design of information systems that can be integral to the simultaneously emerging user-cultures. In cultural terms, information systems must be effective, reliable, affordable, intuitively meaningful, and available anytime and everywhere.

  • Transgenerational Design Design for Every Age Michael J. Leonard, MA, IDSA; Wendy Krupnick, Phd, OTR/L; and David Kratzer, AIA, NCARB, Philadelphia University
    Transgenerational Design Design for Every Age Michael J. Leonard, MA, IDSA; Wendy Krupnick, PhD, OTR/L; and David Kratzer, AIA, NCARB, Philadelphia University All education springs from images of the future and all education creates images of the future… Unless we understand the future for which we are preparing we may do tragic damage to those we teach. — Alvin Toffler Introduction: Three features - a long standing interdisciplinary collaboration, a university rapidly developing ground-breaking approaches to innovative learning, and an educational mission to inspire students to challenge status quo - formed the nucleus of an ongoing project to design for all ages. This paper will describe results of recent interdisciplinary work at Philadelphia University. It relates experiences developing in learners an awareness of all audiences. We will describe what happened when we took the focus from the applications of technology and economy and looked instead to applying our abilities to design for people of all ages. Technology will change, the economy certainly must change, aging will remain constant. In this spirit, we asked the questions: what happens when one re-designs a familiar environment from the perspective of safety and comfort of users of every age? Moreover, how do you instruct a diverse group of learners to respond to the demands aging places on practice? The project, called the Summer Project on Aging, used a single space as its main example – the home bathroom. Bathrooms are a locus of activity in most homes. In bathrooms serving users of all ages, one finds many areas for design improvements. As a representative section of the bathroom topic, the Summer Project used the vanity area comprised of the sink, faucets, counter, backsplash, storage, mirror, lighting, and flooring.

  • Universal Design in Norway
    Universal Design in Norway Definition of Universal Design Universal Design is a design concept that recognises, respects, values and attempts to accommodate the broadest possible spectrum of human ability in the design of all products, environments and information systems. It requires sensitivity to and knowledge about people of all ages and abilities. Sometimes referred to as “lifespan design” or “transgenerational design”, Universal Design encompasses and goes beyond the accessible, adaptable and barrier-free design concepts of the past. The Universal Design principle differentiates from the accessibility principle by not requiring specialised solutions for specific target groups. A universally designed solution provides an environment that applies to everyone: accessibility for all. Background According to the Norwegian Centre for Design and Architecture, Norway’s version of the Universal Design concept stems from the United States of America’s Universal Design principles. As a part of the project “Studies to Further the Development of Universal Design”, the Centre for Universal Design at the North Carolina State University led the development of the Principles of Universal Design. These Principles were developed by an expert team of architects, product designers, engineers, and expert researchers, based on their experiences researching and practicing in the field. Also, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Convention on the rights of people with disabilities on 13th December, 2006, which entered in force in 2008. Norway ratified in 2013 adopting the UN’s Convention, the Convention principle sets out the legal obligations for ratified countries to promote and protect the rights of persons with disabilities. Implementing Universal Design in Norway Currently in the Norwegian Government, the Universal Design concept has high visibility: It is a politically recognized and highly prioritised objective.

Boonzaier Co-supervisor: Professor Simeon E.H. Davies Cape Town (December 2009) DECLARATION I, Mugendi Kanampiu M’Rithaa, declare that the contents of this thesis represent my own unaided work, and that the thesis has not previously been submitted for academic examination towards any qualification. Furthermore, it represents my own opinions and not necessarily those of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. 7th December 2009 Signed Date ii ABSTRACT Universal Design (UD), as it is known in the USA and elsewhere, is an inclusive approach to designing for the broader population and is rapidly gaining popularity amongst design practitioners and planners globally. Similar non-exclusive approaches have evolved in diverse parts of the world to counter the systemic disablement and exclusion of vulnerable/special populations of users perpetuated by traditional approaches to design. The transdisciplinary field of UD is informed by concilience in accommodating a wide range of related fields, such as education, landscape architecture, architecture, town and regional planning, industrial/product/three-dimensional design, furniture design, interior design, communication/information/graphic design, interaction design, human-computer interaction (HCI)/usability studies, and ergonomics/human factors engineering. UD proposes a collaborative systems approach that benefits from the synergies of cross-functionalism by approaching the diverse challenges facing society through socially responsible design.

Furthermore, it represents my own opinions and not necessarily those of the Cape Peninsula University of Techno logy. , ABSTRACT This thesis tests the Usability, Safety and Attractiveness Participatory Design model (USAP) in the field of inclusive fitness. The focus is on improving compatibility between elderly people and fitness products. Three participato ry design (PO) workshops were carried out with potential users ranging from 20 to 80 years of age. The research not only includes current elderly people but also those who will be entering this age bracket in the next ten years. Although the main focus is on the elderly, younger participants were included, and acted as a transgenerational audit. The first PO session made known possible avenues for exploration; the second session introduced a new group of people to the research and acted as a check to see if a a wider audience of older users had similar needs to those uncovered so far; the third session involved middle age participants who will be entering old age in the next ten years.
