Abstrakt: From 2019-2021, the world faced the COVID-19 virus pandemic, which extraordinarily impacted the economic and health sectors. Indonesia is one of the countries that has also felt the impact of COVID-19. In 2022, the virus pandemic has decreased, but as citizens, we still prevent the impact of other viruses. Schools are places that need to be considered in efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in 2020. One of the schools that will return to normal activities is elementary school. Elementary school is a significant place to be concerned about because of the many interactions. Health implementation protocols are one of the efforts to handle the spread of disease. Therefore, a washbasin is one of the tools that can be used to prevent viruses in elementary schools. During the COVID-19 virus pandemic, many portable washbasins were designed to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. However, there are still some shortcomings in washbasin that have been designed and used in efforts to prevent viruses. One of the shortcomings in the washbasin that was designed earlier is the lack of user comfort because the size/dimensions used are still not yet tailored to the user of the washbasin. Based on the shortcomings outlined, it is necessary to redesign an ergonomic portable washbasin for elementary school students. The design of the portable washbasin uses the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method. The result of this study is a redesign of portable washbasin for elementary school pupils oriented towards consumer desires. The draft has considered 100 anthropometric data from primary school pupils. The data is a reference in determining the designed product size. These features include wipes and hand sanitizers on the washbasin, a mechanical work system for operating the faucet, and taking soap when washing hands. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
