IMPROVING MIGRANT WORKERS' QUALITY OF HEALTHY LIVING IN PENANG THROUGH VISUAL MEDIA-BASED INSTRUCTION ON A HEALTHY HOME ENVIRONMENT
Abstract
For Indonesian migrant workers in Penang, Malaysia, a healthy home environment is essential to preserving their health and raising their standard of living. Many migrant workers, nevertheless, are still ignorant of the environmental requirements that promote a healthy lifestyle as well as the standards for designing healthy housing. Effective and easily accessible education, such as that provided by visual media, is required to address this problem. Universiti Sains Malaysia in Penang, Malaysia, an organisation that actively supports the social empowerment of migrant workers, and the PERMAI Foundation, collaborated to carry out this educational program. A group from Mercu Buana University's Faculty of Design and Creative Arts' Interior Design Study Program brought the instructional materials. Visual materials like banners and posters served as the primary means of disseminating the instructional content during the implementation. This strategy worked well to boost participants' interest and excitement. Visual-based education effectively conveyed important messages, and migrant workers have started incorporating healthier lifestyle practices into their everyday routines. This program is a promising first step towards developing a resilient migrant worker community and a sustainable future living environment.
