Interiority for Sexual Disease Rehabilitation with Positive Environment Design Approach
摘要
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and other sexual disorders continue to pose significant global health challenges, with cases steadily increasing, including in Indonesia. In Bandung, the rising incidence and low public awareness underscore the need for facilities that combine medical rehabilitation with comprehensive sexual education. Current rehabilitation centers often lack psychological support and user oriented spatial design, while stigma and shame hinder individuals from seeking help. This study proposes an interior design concept for a Sexual Rehabilitation and Education Center in Bandung based on the Positive Environment Design approach. The design seeks to reduce stigma and promote emotional healing through human-centered strategies. Its conceptual framework Revival, Encourage, Sanctuary, and Privacy is manifested through zoning, materials, lighting, and circulation. Using a qualitative method involving literature reviews, field observations, interviews, and fishbone diagram analysis, the research identifies user needs that inform the spatial arrangement of medical, educational, and support areas. The resulting prototype demonstrates how interior design can integrate functionality and psychological comfort, serving as a model for future sensitive healthcare environments in Indonesia.
