Reach measurements of some Filipinos as design guideline for setting hangging rod height by Judilen G. Tolentino ; Avigail V. Bautista, adviser. Quezon City University of the Phlippines Diliman 2007. 86 leaves ill. Thesis (BSID)--University of the Philippines Diliman. Anthropometrics is one essential factors to be considered when designing a well-planned closet. This study aims to determine the range of reach measurements of a Filipino sample group as a basis for establishing a set of anthropometric data suitable for designing closets. The study determined the measurements such as height and reach measurements through an anthropometric survey. One hundred (100) respondents were chosen through quota sampling in any baranggay within Quezon City. The respondents were male and female ages 18-60 years old with built-in clothes closet. The data gathered in the study will be used as reference measurements for hanging rod height. For females, range of heights from 127cm, 136 cm and 145 cm are suggested, while the suggested range of heights for male are 136 cm, 145 cm and 154 cm. The combined set of reference measurements at different angles are 130 cm at 10°, 139 cm at 20° and 148 cm at 30°. Additional measurement of about 10 cm is recommended for the height of highest shelf and measurement of about 60 cm for the depth of the closet. The study established a set of reference data on comfortable hanging rod height for Filipino users, which can be used by the designers in closet design. This study is important in addressing the absence of reach measurements that are fit, and appropriate for the Filipinos physiqu Filipinos Anthropometry. Built-in furniture Anthropometry.
