Abstract

This study examines the typology of old houses in Kampung Arab Tanjung Selor, Bulungan Regency, North Kalimantan, a historic Arab settlement dating back to the 19th century. This settlement has historical value and unique old buildings, whose condition is deteriorating due to rapid development, requiring preservation efforts. Therefore, this study aims to identify and classify the typology of old residential buildings in Kampung Arab to support its development as a cultural heritage area. The method used is a qualitative descriptive, typological approach, in which data are collected through field observations, interviews with community leaders and elders, and documentation. The objects of study were three old houses believed by local community leaders to have been built during the arrival of the Arabs in Tanjung Selor, namely the houses of Salim bin Djoemaan, Umair Al Hasyim, and H. Muhamad Bansir, all of which are more than 100 years old and still retain their original structures. The results of the study show that these old houses share architectural similarities with Malay architecture and adopt the stilted structure of Kalimantan vernacular architecture as an adaptation to the swampy environment. The house's floor plan is rectangular, symmetrical, and clearly divided into public zones (veranda, living room), private zones (family room, bedrooms, dining room), and service zones (kitchen, bathroom). The separation of these spaces demonstrates the high value placed on privacy. Overall, these old houses embody Islamic values such as efficiency, egalitarianism, privacy, and local wisdom.

Abstract

This research develops a systemic framework for analyzing urban livability by applying the DPSIR (Drivers, Pressures, States, Impacts, Responses) model to the contrasting cases of Jakarta, Indonesia's established megacity, and Nusantara Capital City (IKN), the planned new capital. Through a systematic literature review and comparative case analysis, we move beyond static indicators to reveal the dynamic causal mechanisms shaping livability. The findings indicate that Jakarta's unmanaged organic growth has established a negative feedback loop of uncontrolled urban intensity, resulting in three interrelated consequences: significant environmental deterioration, substantial economic losses from persistent congestion, and compromised resident well-being. In contrast, IKN's "Forest City" plan represents a comprehensive attempt to integrate density, Diversity, access, and Form from the outset. However, this planned approach is risky. If neighbourhoods lack lively shops and services, people may not use the excellent public transit. Also, if new development makes housing too expensive, it could push out the very people the city is meant to serve. The DPSIR framework proves invaluable for diagnosing these complex interdependencies, offering a practical tool for anticipatory governance. The comparative analysis underscores that creating livable cities requires managing entire causal pathways through integrated, adaptive policies rather than pursuing isolated interventions. This research provides critical insights for Indonesian urban policy and contributes a robust analytical approach to the global pursuit of cities that balance development with human dignity and resilience.
