Abstract

Adequate sleep to rest is a beneficial activity to maintain health. Therefore, the facilities that support this activity need to be appropriately designed. In accordance with the fact that after entering retirement age, the elderly are often supported by their adult children, so most of the time, the elderly’s life’s necessities will be handled by their child(ren). Hence, this study aims to analyze the perceptions of the two main stakeholders, namely: potential target buyers (children) and target users (parents) of sleeping facilities that can differ from one another related to the expected value. This study explores expected design attributes to achieve elderly’s good sleep quality using in-depth interviews with the selected participants and get 22 valid and reliable attributes by sharing 70 pairs of children-parents using non-parametric Mann Whitney-U. Unexpectedly, these two different generations perceived the proposed attributes as similar to one another. Further analysis using the Kano method found that two attributes need to be fulfilled by design: (1) sliding the bed; (2) the lower area of the bed should be cleaned easily. These two attributes are then discussed from the perspective of Indonesian natural resource usage and habits.
