Abstract

The limited availability of hand anthropometric data for the Indonesian population, particularly for the residents of Ambon City, may affect the accuracy of designing ergonomic products, work equipment, and public facilities. This study aimed to measure and analyze 25 hand dimensions of the Ambon City population based on gender and age, and to compare the measurement results with national anthropometric data. This research employed a quantitative method with a descriptive design through an anthropometric approach. Data were collected directly from 200 respondents, consisting of 100 females (aged 18–40 years) and 100 males (aged 20–40 years). Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, the Kolmogorov–Smirnov normality test, data uniformity testing using Upper Control Limits (UCL) and Lower Control Limits (LCL), and data adequacy testing. The results showed that all data were normally distributed (p > 0.05), uniform, and met the minimum sample size requirements. Percentile analysis at the 5th, 50th, and 95th percentiles revealed that male hand dimensions were consistently larger than female ones, with an average hand length of 19.15 cm for males and 17.82 cm for females. Comparison with national data indicated that the hand length of Ambon residents was relatively larger (a difference of +1.55 cm for males and +1.02 cm for females), while hand thickness tended to be smaller (a difference of -0.49 cm for males and -0.85 cm for females). All data are presented in hand anthropometric tables. These data are expected to serve as a reference for designing ergonomic products and facilities that align with the physical characteristics of the Ambon City community.

Bahasa Abstract

Keterbatasan data antropometri tangan masyarakat Indonesia, khususnya penduduk Kota Ambon, dapat memengaruhi ketepatan perancangan produk, peralatan kerja, dan fasilitas publik yang ergonomis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur dan menganalisis 25 dimensi tangan penduduk Kota Ambon berdasarkan jenis kelamin dan usia, serta membandingkan hasil pengukuran dengan data antropometri nasional. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan desain deskriptif melalui pendekatan antropometri. Pengambilan data dilakukan secara langsung terhadap 200 responden yang terdiri atas 100 wanita (usia 18–40 tahun) dan 100 pria (usia 20–40 tahun). Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan statistik deskriptif, uji normalitas Kolmogorov–Smirnov, uji keseragaman data menggunakan Batas Kontrol Atas (BKA) dan Batas Kontrol Bawah (BKB), serta uji kecukupan data. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa seluruh data berdistribusi normal (p > 0,05), seragam, dan memenuhi jumlah sampel minimum. Analisis persentil ke-5, ke-50, dan ke-95 menunjukkan bahwa dimensi tangan pria secara konsisten lebih besar dibandingkan wanita, dengan rata-rata panjang tangan pria sebesar 19,15 cm dan wanita 17,82 cm. Perbandingan dengan data nasional menunjukkan bahwa panjang tangan penduduk Ambon relatif lebih besar (selisih +1,55 cm pada pria dan +1,02 cm pada wanita), sedangkan ketebalan tangan cenderung lebih kecil (selisih -0,49 cm pada pria dan -0,85 cm pada wanita). Seluruh data disajikan dalam bentuk tabel antropometri tangan. Data ini diharapkan dapat menjadi acuan dalam perancangan produk dan fasilitas yang ergonomis sesuai dengan karakteristik fisik masyarakat Kota Ambon.

Kata Kunci: antropometri tangan, penduduk kota ambon, perancangan alat kerja, dimensi tangan, ergonomi.
