The results of a survey that has been released by UNESCO in 2017, Indonesia occupies the 60th position from 61 countries in terms of reading interest. These results are in line with the results of the preliminary survey that has been conducted by a community dedication team within the District of South Meruya. The results of the preliminary survey show that the reading interest in this area has been very low as having been indicated by the number of the books that the people in South Meruya have read. Such low reading interest might bring about negative impact whereas in the digital era information might be accessed easily from numerous media including the social one. As a result, information that have been retrieved might not be filtered and thus the information might be skewed; in turn, misreading on the information might lead to provocation and even chaos. Therefore, a community service in the domain of reading activities within the District of Meruya Selatan is held in order to forge the literacy within the area. With regards to the objective, through the study the researchers would like to design a reading corner with the objective of providing access to the interesting yet useful reading materials for the community. By doing so, it is expected the reading interest and the knowledge of the community in the District of South Meruya might be improved so that a community with high-quality life might be created.
The present of the pandemic has given to a new habit that we call the new normal. One of the habits we hear most often is wearing a mask. Ironically, the use of masks creates new problems for certain populations, for example, glasses users and people with respiratory problems. Eyeglass users complain of the effect of fog on the glasses when wearing a mask, sufferers of respiratory problems complain of shortness of breath when wearing a mask. To find the design solution, the researches employed the data analysis method and experiments (trials) on the appropriate shape, structure, and material of the mask. The results of this design succeeded in presenting the expected design solutions, namely preventing the effects of eyeglasses fog, reducing the effects of tightness when wearing a mask, a display that supports appearance, and fullfil the WHO mask criteria. It presented in four basic color variants.
The toy product industry is currently stretching and becoming one of the major companies in the world. Those industries are still monopolized by developed countries. Developing countries such as Indonesia have the opportunity to participate in the competition of the toy product industry. The way to deal with the problem is by developing existing potential by utilizing existing local wisdom. Through research on local toys, it is expected to be an opportunity for the possibility of that competition. By using three phenomena in design is expected to open many changes for many new possibilities in the toy industry. The design phenomena are the basic needs tendency (Vitruvius Theory), social needs tendencies (Sir Henry Wotton's theory) and local wisdom tendencies (Viktor Papanek, Schulz and Y.B.Mangunwijaya's Theory). The theory is used to extract the values of basic needs, social needs and local wisdom that is typical of the toy in order to get the variables of the design requirements to be used in the development of scientific design, especially toy product design. The results of this study get about how the design fulfills its basic needs, fulfills its social needs and raises the value of its local wisdom.
