Abstract

Mosques are a place for physical activity that has great potential to become a cluster for the spread of the COVID-19 virus. At the beginning of the pandemic, mosques were prohibited from operating to carry out various Islamic religious activities, especially congregational prayers. Mosque administrators play a role in communicating the importance of maintaining a safe distance between prayers to contain the spread of the virus. Visual communication with distance markers between worshipers is an efficient way of implementing social distancing in the prayer room. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative for secondary data. The approach used is desk research. This research finds that there is no standard signage for physical distancing as an implementation of health protocol in the mosque. This is indicated by various signage configurations and approaches. There is a need for congregation prayer physical distancing visual signage standardization on a regional or national scale.

Abstract

This study investigates the material circularity of modular wall panel designs using bamboo, wood, and light-gauge steel (LGS) as primary components. Through a comparative analysis of 9 representative panel prototypes, the research evaluates embodied energy (EE), recycling efficiency, and percentage of discarded material under a cradle-to-gate perspective to assess environmental performance. The study examines the relative circularity performance of bamboo, wood, and steel-framed panels. Furthermore, the research examined material configurations that best balance structural function and circularity. Key limitations include the modest sample size (9 prototypes), the educational provenance of prototypes (course-based fabrication), reliance on cradle-to-gate accounting rather than full life-cycle cost or in-service performance data, and uncertainty ranges in embodied-energy databases. Results indicate that biologically composed panels, such as bamboo and wood, demonstrate significantly lower EE and negligible discarded waste, aligning well with circular economy principles. These caveats are discussed and used to frame recommendations for further LCA, long-term performance testing, and scaled prototyping.
