The study aimed to know the factors contributing to the design of a bedroom in elderly housing. Sixty elderly women in the age of sixty and above who were able to perform their daily tasks independently were chosen for the study. Purposive sampling technique was adopted to draw the sample from the randomly selected study locations. Ex post facto research design was adopted for the study. The area selected to conduct the study was Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh. The study was conducted in the year 2019-2020.The design guidelines for bedroom in elderly housing proposed by various organizations and authors served as a base for identifying the features to measure the existing bedroom in the elderly houses. An interview cum observation schedule was designed for collecting information about the existing bedroom in elderly houses. The elderly houses were physically observed by the researcher. The existing bedroom features were measured in terms of above the recommended guidelines, exactly as per the recommended guidelines, below the recommended guidelines with scores 3,2 and 1 respectively. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for the existing bedroom features. Analysis of Variance was done to find out the relationship between independent and dependent variables of the study and Regression analysis was performed to know the factors contributing towards bedroom design. The clearance spaces in the bedroom between was found to be satisfactory in slightly more than half of the study sample. The Significant mean difference was found between the existing bedroom and (i)type of house and (ii)family income. The two major variables that contributed to designing a bedroom as per the design guidelines were the ‘Type of the house’ followed by ‘Family income’ of the elderly people.

Aim: The study aimed to design a staircase for age-friendly housing by discovering the gap between existing staircase design and requirements of the elderly people. Sample: Sixty elderly women in the age of sixty and above who were living independently in a separate house was the criteria for the selection of sample. Purposive sampling technique was adopted to draw the sample. Study Design:  Ex post facto research design was adopted for the study. Place and Duration of Study: The area selected to conduct the study were the Kurnool and Nandyal towns of Kurnool District of Andhra Pradesh. The study was conducted in the year 2019-2020. Methodology: The design recommendations for staircase in elderly housing proposed by various researchers served as yardstick to identify the existing staircase features in the elderly houses. An interview cum observation schedule was developed for gathering information about the existing staircase features in elderly houses. The elderly houses were physically observed by the investigator. The existing staircase features were measured in terms of above the recommendations, exactly as per the recommendations and below the recommendations with scores of 3,2 and 1 respectively. The elderly people were asked to express their requirements for staircase design in terms of essential, preferred and neutral with scores of 3,2,1 respectively. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for the existing staircase and requirements of elderly houses. Chi square analysis was performed to find out the relationship between existing staircase features and requirements of the elderly people. Taking into consideration of the elderly people requirements, staircase design was developed. Results and Conclusion: The design of handrails, risers and treads of staircase was not found  as per the recommendations in most of the houses. Staircase with wider treads and lower risers were the features felt essential in designing a staircase by most of the elderly people. Staircase that facilitates safety and easy use was designed for the elderly housing as per the recommendations.

SMAN 5 Jember is a school that has received the Adiwiyata program predicate. Based on the phenomenon, students who have environmental knowledge do not necessarily have attitudes and behaviors that care about the environment. This is not in line with the school's goal of maintaining the status of a Adiwiyata school. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between environmental knowledge and environmental care and environmental care behavior among students of SMAN 5 Jember in the 2018-2019 academic year. This study uses a nonexperimental correlational quantitative approach using the ex post facto method. The population in this study were students of class X and XI, amounting to 480 students. The sampling technique used was proportionate stratified random sampling technique. Methods of data collection using observation, interviews, questionnaires and documentation. Data analysis used Kendall's Tau Correlation. Based on the results of the research on the relationship between environmental knowledge and environmental care attitudes in students of SMAN 5 Jember, the results obtained were 0.000 < 0.05 so that Ha was accepted and H0 was rejected, meaning that there was a significant relationship. The relationship between environmental knowledge and environmental care behavior results in 0.532> 0.05 so that Ha is accepted and H0 is rejected, meaning that there is no significant relationship.

The research aimed to investigate the relationship between conformity and consumptive behavior in female adolescents. It applied a quantitative method with ex-post facto design. The sample was 97 female adolescents in Yogyakarta and was determined using a convenience sampling technique. They completed two questionnaires of conformity and consumptive behavior. The instrument validation technique used content validity, and the validity of the instruments was measured by psychology measurement experts. The instruments' reliability was analyzed using Cronbach Alpha with coefficients of 0,914 (consumptive behavior) and 0,790 (conformity). Data analysis techniques used Pearson product-moment correlation analysis. The result of the research shows that there is a significant positive relationship between conformity and consumptive behavior in female adolescents. In other words, conformity can be a strong predictor of consumptive behavior in female adolescents.
