Abstract

In the pandemic era, social distancing has an effect on the social interactions of occupants of student dormitory. Dormitory housing is one way of improving learning services in pandemic-affected universities. Typically, this study will examine a sample of ITERA student dormitories3 in Bandar Lampung. The spatial configuration relationship of buildings affects the movement of users’ social activities through the circulation path (entrance halls, stairways, and hallways). The purpose of this research is to determine the optimal design plan for two distinct types of circulation (atrium corridors and double-loaded corridors) as well as to propose the optimal spatial design for use as a location capable of implementing social distancing procedures in the two cases studied. This study used the spatial configuration approach to assess the connectivity, integration, and visibility attributes in order to achieve the best possible results in terms of spatial accessibility. The aims of this study are to analyze spatial configurations inside the accessibility area in order to determine the ideal design type for applying social distancing. Analyzing the spatial configuration provided quantitative data for space syntax analysis. Projecting movement and view areas onto selected building plans showed users’ interaction potential. Connectivity, integration, visibility, and isovist are all numerical values analyzed by the DepthmapX software. The findings of this study suggest that the best type of circulation between the two is the double-loaded corridor, which provides the highest integration and visibility values. This research is hoped to assist building users in implementing social distancing procedures in the case of a pandemic and architects in developing pandemic-friendly design solutions for optimal circulation areas in student dormitory buildings.
