The increase in the number of elderly residents demands the provision of residential facilities that not only meet physical needs, but also support the psychological and social well-being of their users. This study aims to formulate the concept of behavioral architecture-based nursing home design by focusing on the relationship between elderly activity patterns, privacy levels, and spatial relationships of space in the local context of Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive approach in the framework of architectural design, with data collection through observation of elderly activities, site analysis, and documentation studies. Activity data was analyzed to identify space needs and usage patterns, then synthesized with site characteristics to formulate the concepts of zoning, circulation, and behavior-based spatial relationships. The results of the study show that the activities of the elderly form a layered behavioral structure, including residential and health activities as primary needs as well as social, productive, and educational activities as support for psychosocial welfare. Hierarchically arranged space zoning based on privacy levels has been proven to improve the readability of the space, sense of security, and comfort of the elderly. The integration of green open spaces as part of the activity system also strengthens support for light physical activity and social interaction. This study confirms that the application of behavioral architecture allows the translation of data on elderly behavior and site conditions into a contextual, humanist, and quality-of-life-oriented design concept. These findings provide practical implications for designers and policymakers in the development of sustainable elderly housing.

The rapid expansion of digital technology has intensified the circulation of pornographic content, making it increasingly accessible across various online platforms and posing significant risks to social, psychological, and moral stability. This study aims to examine the underlying factors contributing to the spread of pornographic content, its impact on individuals and society, and the urgency of strengthening regulatory and preventive measures. Using a qualitative approach supported by interviews and questionnaires distributed to university students in Jatinangor and Bandung, the research explores public perceptions, access patterns, and social responses regarding pornography in digital spaces. The findings reveal that most respondents consider pornography dissemination a deviant behavior, with economic motives and revenge-driven actions emerging as predominant driving factors. The study also shows that existing legal regulations are perceived as insufficient in mitigating the rapid growth of pornographic content online. These results highlight the importance of enhancing digital literacy, strengthening law enforcement, and promoting moral education to reduce the risks associated with pornography exposure. The study contributes to a deeper criminological understanding of deviant behavior in digital environments and underscores the need for collaborative societal efforts to address this phenomenon.
