<![CDATA[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.
