Abstract

This study explores integrating local architectural concepts into the design of river-based facilities, focusing on the Walanae River in Paduppa, Wajo Regency, Indonesia. The area's rich cultural heritage and abundant natural resources offer significant potential for sustainable and community-centered development. Using a mixed-method approach that includes qualitative field observations, in-depth interviews with local stakeholders, and a systematic literature review guided by the PRISMA framework, the research identifies key traditional architectural elements. These elements encompass stilt house structures, the use of natural materials such as bamboo and wood, spatial layouts aligned with natural contours, and sustainable water management techniques. The findings reveal that incorporating these elements addresses critical environmental challenges, including flooding and erosion, while simultaneously enhancing ecological efficiency, cultural identity, and environmental sustainability. This integrative methodology provides a framework for harmonizing traditional and modern architectural practices. By synthesizing practical insights from field research with a robust literature analysis, the study delivers valuable guidance for urban planners and architects in designing river-based facilities that balance cultural relevance with ecological sustainability. Additionally, the research contributes to the global discourse on sustainable architecture by offering a replicable model for incorporating local architectural traditions into contemporary urban designs. This approach holds significant implications for similar ecological and cultural contexts worldwide, emphasizing the importance of preserving local heritage while addressing modern urban development challenges.
