Abstract

The residence’s rooms have their respective functions according to the needs and preferences of family members. The rooms function effectiveness indicated by the availability of facilities in the form of furniture to support activities arranged in such a way as to match the priority range. However, there are individual rooms where the frequency of use is low (passive), and some are high (active) so that the spaces are no longer efficient evenly and optimally utilized. The qualitative method with behavior mapping was considered suitable to meet this need. As an informant, each student described the pattern of daily activities for his/her family member within one week during WFH, which was complemented by explaining the types and motives of the activities. The results showed that; 1) passive and active spaces related to the types of primary, secondary, and tertiary needs; 2) the movement patterns of inactive spaces indicated the nature of feminine and masculine activities; 3) the changing passive space into active one related to the transfer of formal activities to earn a living into the house. The transfer of work and study activities from outside into the house during WFH and LFH has reduced and increased activity in the house's specific rooms, integrating the real world and the virtual world. This reduction and increase related to the Covid-19 protocol, privacy, preferences, and priorities.
