Abstract

As the world’s issue of global warming, built environment has to be designed to reduce global warming effects such as urban heat island. A large building coverage with small amount of vegetation tends to have urban heat island effect. Some urban housing have typical spatial character that trigger urban heat island effect. Some physical aspects give wide contribution to urban heat island effects, such as space configuration, vegetation and land coverage. The influences of these aspects can be observed by simulating the aspects. As the heritage preservation region, some urban housing such as Kauman Jogjakarta can’t be redesigned by changing its main buildings. Therefore, space configuration changing in a simulation can help to know the influence of space configuration type to thermal comfort of the region. Choosing the right material type to cover the soil will give a good contribution to reduce temperature. The presence of vegetation with various types can reduce heat expose to the areas. Some types of vegetation give a big contribution to reduce temperature. As the material study, choosing the right type of vegetation can reduce temperature and increase microclimate comfort. Areas with high density leafs plants give better contribution to microclimate comfort. High dense leaf plants in existing area were planted with certain pattern. The existing space configuration as perpendicular circulation pattern gives better microclimate condition than random pattern. There are some aspects to reduce the urban heat island effect in urban housing by controlling urban housing space on three main aspect: land coverage, vegetation and space configuration.

Abstract

Indonesia memiliki beragam rumah tradisional yang memiliki karakter khas sesuai dengan adat dan budaya setempat. Banyak generasi muda Indonesia yang tinggal di Indonesia maupun di luar negeri kurang mengenal ragam rumah tradisional tersebut. Oleh karena itu sangat penting adanya upaya untuk mengenalkan rumah tradisional Indonesia sejak dini di lingkungan sekolah dasar, terlebih lagi bagi generasi muda yang tinggal di negara jiran. Program ini diselenggarakan di sanggar belajar yang menjadi bagian dari Sekolah Indonesia-Kuala Lumpur. Tujuan dari program ini adalah memperkenalkan rumah adat Indonesia kepada anak-anak migran yang memiliki akar keluarga Indonesia. Pelaksanaan kegiatan di Kuala Lumpur dibantu oleh mahasiswa KKN Internasional dan relawan dari perguruan tinggi lain. Ada sekitar 30 siswa yang mengikuti kegiatan ini dengan rentang usia sekitar 5-12 tahun. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan dengan diskusi kelompok dengan materi tentang rumah tradisional Indonesia dari booklet, peta dan poster, game interaktif, serta gambar rumah adat Indonesia untuk diwarnai. Keberlanjutan program dilakukan dengan memperkenalkan game interaktif berbasis android bertema rumah tradisional Indonesia kepada para relawan dalam rangka memberikan pengenalan tentang rumah tradisional Indonesia kepada siswa sekolah dasar.
