Abstract

Slum areas remain a critical challenge in urban development, particularly in cities experiencing rapid population growth without adequate housing provision. This study investigates the characteristics and dominant factors contributing to slum formation in Tanjung Pinggir Village, Siantar Martoba District, Pematang Siantar City. The research employed a quantitative descriptive analytical approach with 78 respondents selected through purposive sampling from 347 households. Data were collected through structured questionnaires, field observations, and in-depth interviews and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with Varimax rotation. The findings reveal that slums in Tanjung Pinggir Village are characterized by extremely high building density, poor building quality, limited access to basic infrastructure, and inadequate environmental sanitation. Factor analysis identified four dominant contributing factors: basic infrastructure (27.824%), physical condition of buildings (18.671%), environmental sanitation (13.162%), and socioeconomic factors (9.181%). The basic infrastructure factor emerged as the most critical element requiring priority intervention. Proximity to the Final Disposal Site significantly impacts settlement quality through environmental pollution and aesthetic degradation. This study recommends comprehensive and integrated slum management programs focusing on infrastructure improvement—particularly clean water supply, drainage systems, and waste management—alongside community empowerment initiatives to enhance economic capacity and environmental awareness.

Abstract

Open spaces have been a key feature of mosques since the first Nabawiy Mosque was built during the time of the Prophet Muhammad. Fourteen centuries have passed, and mosques have evolved in accordance with their surroundings, with open spaces not always being a key feature of mosques. The issue of mosque designs that tend to be exclusive is an important reason for reviving the inclusive nature of mosques as in the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him). This paper aims to review the role of open spaces in mosques in meeting the needs of the wider community, including various age groups and socioeconomic strata, and even non-Muslims. This paper also puts forward an idea for integrating open spaces into mosque design for Generation Z. This generation, with its unique characteristics, is expected to play an increasingly important role in revitalizing mosques. This study adopts a mixed-methods research-by-design (RBD) framework, combining a qualitative historical and literature synthesis, exploratory precedent case studies, and a quantitative user preference survey involving 100 Muslim Generation Z respondents (N = 100) in Medan, Indonesia. The findings from these methods were integrated to formulate design ideas for inclusive mosque open spaces that respond to the needs and preferences of Generation Z. This study shows that open spaces are an important key feature for inclusive mosques that are in line with the needs of Generation Z, who are open-minded towards advances in information and developments in thought, art, science, and technology. The concept of inclusive mosque design for Generation Z offers open spaces that are integrated with urban spaces and directly connected to mosques structurally, functionally, and visually, where social activities become a showcase for mosque activities.

Abstract

Global climate change has increased the frequency and intensity of hydrometeorological disasters, particularly floods in urban areas of Indonesia. High settlement density, inadequate drainage systems, and limited community preparedness further exacerbate flood vulnerability. Although various flood mitigation strategies have been implemented, the relationship between mitigation effectiveness, perceptions of community participation, and community readiness remains insufficiently examined through quantitative approaches, limiting the development of effective community-based interventions. This study analyses the influence of flood mitigation efforts—specifically adaptive capacity—and perceptions of community participation on community readiness, measured through risk literacy and structural preparedness. A mixed-methods approach was applied, combining factor analysis to identify latent dimensions and linear regression to examine relationships between variables. Data were collected from questionnaires administered to residents with prior flood experience and analysed using JMP software. The results indicate that Adaptive Capacity has a positive and significant effect on Structural Preparedness (β = 0.3930; p < 0.0001) and Risk Literacy (β = 0.3765; p < 0.0001). The Governance dimension of participation also shows a positive and significant influence on Structural Preparedness (β = 0.2499; p = 0.0170). In contrast, the Environmental Action dimension exhibits a negative and significant relationship with Risk Literacy (β = –0.3070; p = 0.0019). These findings suggest that community readiness is more strongly influenced by adaptive capacity and participatory governance than by physical environmental actions alone. The study highlights the need to integrate technical and social approaches and to strengthen risk literacy to enhance long-term community resilience to flood risks.

Abstract

Traditional markets function not only as economic spaces but also as social environments whose meanings are continuously shaped through users’ everyday experiences. This study aims to examine how the spatial character of Sibuhuan Traditional Market mediates social interaction and contributes to users’ spatial meanings. A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed to explore the lived experiences of traders, buyers, and market managers. Data were collected through field observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation and analyzed through phenomenological coding, meaning-unit identification, thematic categorization, and interpretation of experiential patterns. The findings reveal five interconnected themes: spatial density as a collective experience, the subjective and contextual meaning of strategic locations, fluid boundaries between formal and informal spaces, social relationships as a determinant of spatial meaning, and the market as a lived space beyond its economic function. Repeated social interactions generate familiarity, place attachment, collective memory, and perceptions of strategic, comfortable, and valuable spaces. The study concludes that spatial character and social interaction have a reciprocal relationship, in which spatial configuration facilitates encounters while repeated interactions continuously reproduce the meaning of market space. The findings highlight the importance of considering social experience and place attachment in the planning and management of traditional markets.

Abstract

Engineered wood has significant potential to support low-carbon construction in Indonesia; however, its adoption in the residential sector remains limited due to uneven knowledge distribution, concerns regarding durability, and limited ecological literacy. This study addresses the gap between the technical potential of engineered wood and its low level of acceptance by examining how material characteristics and adoption challenges influence user interest, with ecological perception considered as a mediating factor. A mixed-methods sequential explanatory design was employed, beginning with a qualitative phase involving 115 respondents through an open-ended online questionnaire, followed by a quantitative survey of 116 respondents. Data were analyzed using Exploratory Factor Analysis and multiple regression. The results show that knowledge of engineered wood remains segmented, with higher levels observed among highly educated respondents, formal-sector workers, and urban residents. Material perceptions are positively shaped by technical attributes such as strength, dimensional stability, and thermal performance, while concerns related to long-term durability and initial cost remain key barriers to adoption. User interest is influenced not only by technical understanding but also by ecological awareness and professional experience, underscoring the importance of social and psychological factors in material selection. These findings highlight the need for integrated educational and policy strategies that enhance sustainability literacy, strengthen technical confidence, and support the wider adoption of engineered wood in Indonesia’s low-carbon housing development.
