EVALUASI ELEMEN TEKNIS RUANG BERSAMA RUSUNAWA MAHASISWA SEBAGAI HUNIAN SEHAT DI MASA PANDEMI COVID-19

Abstract

The typology of the student flats building as a vertical residence with three or four floors seems to be more at risk of becoming a place of transmission of COVID-19 compared to a residential area. It is necessary to evaluate the technical elements (health, security, and safety aspects) in the shared spaces in the Student Flats against the fulfillment of the Healthy Home Principles issued by the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (2016). And see how far the implementation of the Health Protocol in Makassar City Student Flats refers to the Decree of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number HK.01.07/MENKES/382/2020. The research location is in two student flats in Makassar City, namely Rusunawa Hasanuddin University, and Rusunawa Muslim University of Indonesia. The data analysis technique was carried out through descriptive quantitative methods by scoring the achievement of indicators of the Healthy Home Principles in the form of dry (not damp) floors and walls, a minimum window opening area of 1/9 of the floor space, openings that can be penetrated by sunlight, the availability of natural lighting and artificial lighting in the dining room area, efforts to overcome the danger of fire in the kitchen area, waterproof walls, vents, and good lighting in the bathroom. Also scoring is the achievement of indicators for the Implementation of Health Protocols in the form of installing 3M information media, providing hand sanitizers, optimizing air circulation and sunlight, availability of disinfectant equipment, availability of Handwashing with soap and running water (CTPS) facilities, and setting a minimum distance between chairs of 1 meter and not facing each other. The results of the study found that the two samples of student flats generally had met the Healthy Home Principles. Meanwhile, the implementation of Health Protocol facilities in student flats in Makassar City is still lacking.
