Abstract

The research entitled " The Influence of Visitor Seating Comfort in the Sriwedari Puppet Theater: an Ergonomics Perspective" aims to find out how ergonomics affects visitor comfort at the Sriwedari Puppet Theater. The method used is qualitative research with data collection through interviews with visitors, observation of the level of seating ergonomics, and literature study. The results showed that seating comfort greatly influences the viewing experience at the Sriwedari Puppet Theater. Seats are considered simple with a traditional feel, but are less comfortable due to thin and hard cushions. The problem of comfort is even more pronounced during performances, mainly due to the upright backs of the seats, which do not support the body's posture, and the narrow size of the seats. The narrow distance between seats also makes it difficult for patrons to move or stretch their legs, which disrupts their concentration and makes them change their sitting position frequently.
