The Minimum Space Standard: Proposing New House Floorplan on Dwelling Activities in Greater Jakarta Region, Indonesia

This study produces a modest space requirement of the housing unit's floor plan to assess housing quality and ensure the occupants' health and well-being. In the urgency of acknowledging the need for quality housing due to the issue of human health and well-being, Indonesia still endures several setbacks. Previous studies suggest that ergonomics emergence becomes a practical perspective as it recognises that the built environment - in this case, housing - is tightly intertwined with human health and well-being. We analysed and regrouped 12 main activities in urban dwelling through survey and questionnaires to form a minimum yet efficient layout regarding furniture usage, occupants' anthropometry and activity's space requirement, and circulation space. Results reveal sufficient internal space minimums requiring 30.57 m 2 area within interior boundaries, while 37 m 2 include external walls. We propose a new floor plan based on 12 main activities while analysing the building performance regarding healthy space requirement in further research.
