Summary:
This article discusses the artifact products and the pertinent aspects to their forms. The case of study is the Cirebon traditional basins. The artefacts are not created by individual designer creation, rather by the community and widely used in daily lives. The guiding elements of the artifact’s forms are: (a) the local geography and ecology, (b) availability of the basic materials and their properties, (c) the human activities related to the fulfillment of their practical daily life needs, and (d) social events, tradition and custom of the people. Based on these issues various kinds and methods on the use of Cirebon woven artifacts are analyzed e.g sifter, boboko, nyiru and sasag basket. The analysis indicates the presence of artifacts is due to the interactions between various aforementioned form guiding elements as well as related to the physiological aspect of human body in making, carrying and using the products.

EFFECTS OF SEATING HEIGHT TO THE PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WORKING LOAD OF THE SQUATTING POSITION
Andar Bagus Sriwarno.
Summary:
Work-related musculosceletal disorders are a leading cause of injuries in industries of many development countries. Prolonged squatting without any proper support stool has been suspected to contribute to the increase musculosceletal injuries to of workers. In this study, the effect of stool height and physiological aspects during squatting were examined. Fourteen right handed male subjects participated in the experiment, in which physiological tests. The result showed that the sitting height which varies between 15 cm and 20 cm were shown as proper stool height. The discomfort levels increased almost linearly as stool height increased. Based on this finding, it is recommended that a stool with the proper height is appropriate to reduce the postural load when adopting squatting postures. This study provides the ergonomic guidelines regarding the height of stool and working posture in squatting posture.

THE USE OF GREEN MUSSEL’S SHELL FOR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Mochamad Junaidi Hidayat, Widiharjo, Dudy Wiyancoko.
Summary:
Shell is one of the widely used materials for craft products. However the exploitation of shells for non aqua-culture can endanger and threaten the sustainability of sea ecosystem. Essentially this study is a research by project through experimentation of material and process to create an alternative of green mussel shell waste based product development. The result of the study has been applied to make products of simple functionalities such as lamp cover, food platters, furniture surface finishing, etc. The project consists two major experimentation parts. First is by cutting the shells and second is the use of the cutting wastes. From these two different materials some simple products have been made e.g. lamp cover, food platters, chandelier, etc. These handicrafts can be used as the reference of product diversification for mussel-based IKM, through design workshop.

INDICATION OF SICK BUILDING SYNDROME (SBS) IN THE KITCHEN DESIGN OF STANDARD COMMUNAL HOUSING
Ajeng Puranti Dewi, Dwinita Larasati, G. Prasetyo Adhitama.

Summary:
This research aims to identify the health condition of kitchens in standard communal housings in Indonesia. The poor condition of the kitchen could cause inconvenience to the dwellers, which is known as Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). As study objects, eight cases of kitchen designs of housing at two areas were analyzed: Duren Sawit of East jakarta and Cidadap of Bandung City. In order to be able to compare the feasibility levels of those areas, the DCBA method was used. This method relates to the aspects of: (a) community, (b) dwelling environment, (c) houses, (d) interior and (e) kitchen. From the study, it was concluded that the kitchens in those areas have been contaminated with varieties of air pollutants. The dwellers are suffering from SBS caused by cooking activities, improper use of materials and finishing elements for the kitchen and so on.

OVERVIEW ON THE GREEN CRITERIA OF THE HOUSE INTERIOR
Donny Mulya Prijatna, Deny Willy.
Summary:
An effort to implement sustainable design issue to interior design of dwelling, has been being taken. This research is aimed to determining the criteria of assessment and measurement on the level of sustainability of dwelling by modifying the method of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) adapted from the behavior of Indonesian locals’ dwelling. The modified method of LEED (modified) will be evaluated through analyzing two samples of dwelling, which are: (a) a house designed with respect and understanding of sustainable design concept, and (b) common houses. From the analysis it has been shown that this method is useful to assess the degree of sustainability among the locals’ dwelling, specifically by checking the obtained rate of some design aspects.
