Ergonomics Analysis Of Public Seat In The Kudus Town Square

Abstract

Abstract The public seat is one of the public facilities provided by the government as a form of public service to improve better human development. Public seats are in public buildings, public parks, city squares. In the Kudus town square, there are two types of public seats that are widely used by the public. However, the public seats provided do not have a backrest and elbow rest. Therefore ergonomics analysis is needed to determine the comfort level of public seats. Qualitative methods have been used by taking data about the height of users of public seats using random sampling. Then the data is used to calculate anthropometric measurements of chairs based on the comparison of body size to the height from the ASEAN Regional Institute for School Boarding Research. Based on research that has been done, the results obtained in the form of public seats in the Kudus town square designed by not considering aspects of ergonomics.
