Application of Universal Design Principles Study for the Circulation of Elderly, Disabled People, and Goods in Rusunawa Pesakih, Jakarta

Rental Low-Cost Apartment (Rusunawa) is a vertical residential building inhabited by many people from various backgrounds. There are elderly and people with disabilities who use wheelchairs. Then such residents would have difficulty circulating in the building, especially vertical circulation. The vertical circulation of heavy goods is also a problem if the building has many floors and no vertical transportation facilities. The methodology used in this paper is a descriptive analysis method with Universal Design Principles as a parameter. From the analysis of the application of Universal Design Principles, a solution would be produced without changing the building on a large scale. The solution is to provide a foldable stairlift platform for the elderly and people with disabilities who use a wheelchair and add a mini freight elevator to the building.
