ABSTRACT: The Lengkong Sub-District, located on the south side of Bandung, is a very crowded
sub-district. With how dense the population of it, the people in Lengkong have the indirect responsibility of keeping themselves and others safe amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Notably, this applies
to those who work in the Sub-District Office, as well as those whose work involves going in and
out of the Sub-District Office building. To prevent further spreading of the virus, the writer intends
to provide the necessary facility for people to wash their hands, as well as to create a campaign
icon/symbol to encourage people to wash their hands diligently. This campaign is directed not only
to the people who work in the Sub-District Office, but also to all the citizens of Lengkong. The
design of this portable handwashing station is made to be as attractive as possible for whoever
passes by. The hope is that if they see it, they will have the urge and motivation to wash their
hands. The design is also made with the health protocol in mind, with necessary features added to
minimalize contamination.
Keywords: COVID-19, Lengkong Sub-District Office, portable handwash
1 INTRODUCTION
The Lengkong Sub-District office is located at Talaga Bodas Street No. 35, Malabar, Lengkong,
Bandung City, West Java. In addition to the workers working in the office, Lengkong citizens also
come to the office for several administration services, making it a high traffic location, in which
virus spread is especially vulnerable. In this trying time of the COVID-19 pandemic, places like
this should have the appropriate facility to accommodate the prevention of virus spread in order
to protect not only those who work in the office, but also the civilians coming to the area for the
governmental administration services.
One of the simplest facilities supporting the prevention of the virus spread is a place for people
to wash their hands. Although they can do this in the washroom in regular circumstances, more
facilities are needed in more places to encourage easier access to more frequent handwashing. In
this special circumstance, the design of these handwashing posts should be adjusted to fit in the
requirements for the purpose to be fulfilled.
Design environment is a systematic approach to evaluate the environmental consequences of
a product and its processes, as well as the impact of said product to human engineering and
environment (Calori & Vanden-Eynden 2015). Based on the understanding of what is needed,
option analysis, and the available resources for a fast production that also considers the product
handling and a cradle-to-grave production. The main focus is the content identification and the
environmental implication of the product’s development and the life cycle towards the environment
(Fiksel 1996).
The purpose of design environment is to create a healthier environment for the worker, the
civilians, and also the ecosystem. This program fulfills this purpose by promoting a change of
