Perbedaan Kegiatan Penghuni di Ruang Makan dengan Ruangan lain berdasarkan ketersediaan Ruang Makan pada Hunian

Abstract

The existence of a dining room is now rarely found in some residences. Some people who do not have a dining room will be forced to use a room to carry out eating activities. In comparison, other people use the dining room to do other activities. It shows that the existence of space reflects the behaviour of the occupants in living. This study will compare community activities with residential conditions with a dining room and those without a dining room. This study aims to reveal the differences and activities most often carried out in the two conditions. Then all these activities will be classified based on the theory of affordance. This research method uses a sequential mixed-method approach by distributing online questionnaires. The data collected were analyzed using principal component analysis and analysis of the mean latent variables to find the most dominant variable. Based on the study results, the most dominant activity carried out in residential areas that have a dining room is only eating activities. Meanwhile, residential areas that do not have a dining room include learning, working, relaxing and household activities.

The Affordances for Dining Activities: Young Generations' Experience in Dwelling Environment

“…A study on eating behavior in Indonesia stated that very few houses have dedicated dining tables and chairs, regardless of the socioeconomic status (Roshita et al, 2021). According to Putri et al (2021), the increasingly rare presence of a dining room in Indonesian dwellings has forced the occupants to do their dining activities in other rooms in the dwelling. Meanwhile, Putra, Ju, and Soedarsono (2016) found that the dining rooms tend to be passive and rarely used for dining activities even when they are available in a dwelling.…”

“…The dining room discussed in this section is a formal dining room defined through the affordance attributes, namely the dining table and chairs (Jones, 2018). Putri et al (2021) found that the dining rooms are not only used for dining but also afford various other hidden activities. Although similar findings were found in this research, this section focuses on the dining room for its function according to the determinism approach, which is to afford dining activities, providing a qualitative explanation of the supporting affordance attributes.…”
