Anthropometry application of students in the design of campus tables and chairs

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to design comfortable tables and chairs for learning and gathering students in the campus. The method used is anthropometry and percentiles used to design tables and chairs, statistical tests are used to process anthropometric data and those used are data adequacy tests, data uniformity tests, test data normality with Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Excel software for statistical test calculations, SPSS software for Kolgomorov-Smirnov normality test simulation. The results obtained are the dimensions used by the hand range, elbow height, hand range, popliteal height, popliteal buttocks. Adequacy tests that the data of all dimensions identified are sufficient data, test the uniformity of the data that one data for identified hand span dimensions is not uniform while data for other dimensions are uniform. Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test for all dimensions data is normally distributed. The conclusion is the table was designed using a percentile of 50% for hand span dimensions, percentile 95% for popliteal height dimensions and sitting elbow height. The chair was designed using percentile 5% for popliteal height dimensions, percentile 50% for hand span dimensions, percentile 95% for popliteal buttocks dimensions.
