Abstract

Spatial design influences human behaviour conducting activities within. These influence includes attitude, action, psychological condition, safety feeling, and lenience in doing activities. Anthropometry is essential in spatial design. The objective of this study is to define the impact of incorrect anthropometric spatial design on elderly fall risk, to know identify accident level occurring as result of incorrect anthropometric spatial design, and to provide spatial design solution appropriate for elderly safety. This study is designed as a qualitative descriptive study with whole 110 habitants of Panti Sosial Tresna Werdha “Budi Sejahtera” population. Purposive sampling method is used with consideration on the elderly’s ability to respond in communication. Data are analysed using descriptive statistic method. The spatial design of Panti Sosial Tresna Werdha “Budi Sejahtera” does not fully accommodate safety factors for elderly. This is supported by the frequence fall accidents happened there, espesially female elderly. The spatial design should pay more consideration on safety factors for the elderly by taking inhabitants’ anthropometric characteristics into consideration.
