Space Management Based on the New Concept of the Library of Life
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims to design library space management that aligns with the changing needs of Generation Z users. Additionally, the study aims to investigate the factors contributing to user satisfaction with the new concept of the Library of Life. The research methodology consists of a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative research techniques. It can operate in four main steps: 1) Conceptualization. 2) Instrument Development. 3) Data Collection and 4) Data Analysis and Discussion. The research results indicate that designing library space in line with the changing needs of Generation Z users involves arranging at least four zones. The meeting space has the most significant impact on user satisfaction, followed by the learning space, performative space), and inspiration space, respectively. Furthermore, introducing life space can enhance satisfaction for Generation Z users in two dimensions. The first is satisfaction with the appropriateness of the space, followed by satisfaction with the experience gained from using the space.
