Abstract

The purpose of this study was to obtain an ergonomic aspect analysis on the design of classrom’s tables and chairs for high school and vocational high school. The study was conducted at SMK Veteran 1 Sukoharjo, with research subjects of 30 students aged 16 years to 18 years. The data that is needed in this study are anthropometric data of 12 dimensions of the subject's body in a sitting position. These data are : popliteal height, popliteal buttocks, hip width, shoulder width, shoulder height, height of the upper back, elbows sitting, elbows to fingers, length of the buttock to knees, height of the ankles, range of hands, and thighs. Research stages include: goal setting, data collection, data processing, and analysis. Data collection was carried out by measuring anthropometric data. Data processing was carried out by testing data uniformity, testing data adequacy, calculating percentile of data, and designing chair and table based on anthropometric data. Analysis was carried out on data collected and on ergonomic aspects of table and chair designs. From the results of preliminary observations, it is known that 80% of students stated that the existing tables and chairs are not comfortable to use. This is what underlies the need for redesign. From the results of the calculation and analysis, it is concluded that the width of the sitting mat needs to be added 2 cm, the length of the backrest need to be added 2 cm, the length of the seat sits need to be added 4 cm, the length of the table needs to be added 4 cm, the length of the drawer needs to be added 4 cm, the width of the table needs to be added 16 cm, drawer width needs to be added by 16 cm, and the table height needs to be reduced by 9 cm
