| Summary: | The majority, rural people in West Java live from agriculture. The decline in human
resources resulted in the need for tools that could help farmers cultivate their land. However,
agricultural tools are not always used all year round. Therefore, the aim of this design is to
design a multifunctional mechanical device for use in rural areas, especially the highlands.
The data gathering used the literature study method regarding previous research on
transportation needs in rural areas and agriculture to determine general conditions.
Interviews and observations in Cisondari Village, West Java were conducted to gather
information about specific needs. From literature studies as well as interviews and
observations, it can be concluded that there is a need for a multifunctional means of
transportation to support the social life of rural communities. However, there is no means of
transportation that can be used by farmers to cultivate land in the highlands. Therefore, we
need a concept of a mechanical device that can be used for various activities on land as well
as for social needs such as transporting goods and people. |
