Abstract

Green spaces are increasingly recognized as essential elements in the design of modern commercial areas, not only for improving environmental quality but also for supporting social interaction among urban communities. In large cities with limited green spaces, their presence in shopping centers can enhance visitor comfort and extend the duration of visits, allowing malls to function as social and recreational spaces. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of green spaces in optimizing the social functions of public spaces in commercial areas through case studies of Ashta District 8 Mall and Pondok Indah Mall 3 (PIM 3) in Jakarta. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using field observations, visual documentation, and semi-structured interviews with 5 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The results show that green spaces at PIM 3 are more effective in supporting social interaction, where 3 out of 3 respondents use the space for group activities such as gathering and socializing. In contrast, green spaces at Ashta District 8 tend to support individual or paired activities, as indicated by 2 out of 2 respondents. Furthermore, all respondents (5/5) stated that the presence of green spaces increases their comfort and encourages longer visits to the mall. These findings indicate that the effectiveness of green spaces in supporting social functions is influenced by design characteristics, availability of seating, vegetation density, and thermal comfort. Green spaces that are more accommodating to group activities and provide better environmental comfort tend to generate higher levels of social interaction.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate English conversational skills in early childhood through the use of the Comma 2.0 application as a learning medium. The research method follows an experimental approach, applying the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) in instructional design. In the analysis stage, we identified the needs and characteristics of early childhood learners in English language acquisition. We then designed the lessons by integrating the audio-visual-based Comma 2.0 application, adhering to instructional design principles that are engaging and suitable for early childhood development. The implementation was conducted with two groups: a control group using conventional learning methods and an experimental group using the Comma 2.0 application. Evaluation was performed before and after the intervention using English conversation skill tests. The results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group, validating the effectiveness of the Comma 2.0 application in enhancing English conversational skills in early childhood. These findings support the use of technology-based learning approaches in early childhood development, creating an interactive and engaging learning environment.

Abstract

Culinary tourism centers are not only places to enjoy food but also function as public spaces that provide social and spatial experiences for visitors. The quality of the built environment and architectural elements contribute to the level of comfort, perception, and user preferences for a place. Research examining the relationship between architectural elements, sensory comfort, and visitor experience in public culinary spaces, particularly in tropical areas and government-managed facilities, is still limited. This study aims to evaluate the influence of architectural elements on sensory comfort and visitor experience at the Wiyung Culinary Tourism Center, Surabaya. The study used a mixed methods approach with a sequential explanatory strategy. The quantitative stage was carried out by distributing Likert-scale questionnaires (1–4) to 120 respondents, then analyzed using Pearson's validity test and Cronbach's Alpha reliability test. The qualitative stage was carried out through field observations, interviews, and visual documentation to deepen the results of the quantitative analysis. The results showed that the facade and decorative elements play a role in shaping visual appeal and visitors' initial impressions. The quality of ventilation and lighting are the main factors influencing thermal comfort and visit duration. The qualitative analysis also revealed that spatial arrangement contributes to ease of orientation and social activities in the Culinary Tourism Center area.
