In the last three decades, research on design processes and methods has been the driving force behind the design science development; however, research on design process knowledge has not developed much in Indonesia. This research aims to answer the problems faced by interior design students when they have to complete a design task by applying specific design processes and methods. The choice of technique and method is influenced by the situation & conditions in which the design is carried out. The research was carried out using the “double diamonds” process and method with a problem-solving approach. The research analysis was carried out by examining students’ design documents in the interior design course, conducting interviews with students and lecturers, and literature studies. Furthermore, an alternative process model and design method are more prepared to follow the needs and answer the Interior Design Study Program’s problems when completing a design task. Research has succeeded in finding process models and design methods called a DT-DI model compatible with interior design students.

Empathy definitions do not adequately reflect the realities of empathy in the context of interior design for the elderly or disabled. This mixed research methods study explored the role that empathy as a design learning tool may have on the design process and learning experiences of interior design students, whom ultimately will design spaces for the elderly and disabled. To explore the use of empathy as a learning tool prior to commencing a renovation design project for three disabled farmers and their families in the southeast area of the United States, interior design students participated in class exercises that simulated various physical disabilities. After completing the exercises students reported high levels of emphatic concern for physically disabled older adults that made them more in tuned with the program needs of their clients, the farmers. Additionally, the students acknowledged that they had gained a greater understanding of inclusive design, whereby all end users of spaces regardless of physical and mental capabilities are to be considered when designing interior environments. Lastly, students enhanced their problem-solving skills by gaining insights into the importance of considering all details in design, ranging from the addition of coat hooks to door hardware selection and floor finish materials to furniture placements. This study is significant because two of the fastest growing sectors for interior design is healthcare and aging in place.

Abstract Cirebon is one of big city in Java island that develops and preserves Batik handicraft. Batik maker in Cirebon mostly producing only in primary textiles or basic clothing, while many derivative products from residual shred pieces sere less developed. Actually big portions of good residual pieces can still be used for handicrafts, especially handicraft and handmade souvenir for local and international tourists. Cirebon also the oldest batik center which influences various batik patterns at the north coast of Java Island. The research team is Interior Design students tried to solving this problem through research methods . It aim to utilize existing batik waste and develop a recycle handicraft model so that it is beneficial to the surrounding community. The research method is carried out by conducting observations, interviews and experiments online so as to produce hand sanitizer bag products. Keywords: handicraft, Cirebon batik, recycling, hand sanitizer bag
