Design Of Public Facilities For Persons With Disabilities At Al-Azizi Mosque, Batam City Using The Axiomatic Design (AD) Method

Abstract

Humans are special creatures both physically and intellectually. Humans have the ability to adapt, but not everyone will be able to make good adjustments, especially people with disabilities. It is known that out of a total of 7 billion world population in 2021, 15% of them are persons with disabilities. Based on data on persons with disabilities released by the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, it is known that in the Riau Archipelago as many as 2733 residents are persons with disabilities. Physical illness or movement disorder is the most common disease among other diseases experienced by persons with disabilities in Indonesia. At present the accessibility needs of persons with disabilities in public buildings such as mosques should have met the needs of persons with disabilities but the reality on the ground shows that there are still minimal accessibility facilities in places of worship, especially mosques. Al-Azizi Mosque which is located in RT. 01 RW. 021 Tanjung Sengkuang Kec. Batu Ampar - Batam is currently still not paying attention to the accessibility of persons with disabilities. The purpose of this study is to design public facilities for Persons with Disabilities at the Al-Azizi Mosque in Batam City using the Axiomatic design (AD) method. The Axiomatic Design (AD) method is carried out by defining the basis for product development/design by providing a mapping technique between the function requirements and design parameters. This method can help so that the design and development of a product is more structured, logical, and focuses on a design that fits the function. It is hoped that with this research a public facility design can be formed that is able to accommodate the needs of disabled mosque users.
