Abstract

Urban cultural heritage sites face growing challenged from rapid development and limited resources. Local governments must develop strategic plans to improve how they manage and protect these cultural assets. A practical solution is to rank different areas within heritage sites based on their cultural importance, allowing authorities to focus limited resources to which they matter most. Aims: This study demonstrates how to use a systematic evaluation method to determine conservation priorities in Semarang’s Chinatown, a nationally recognized cultural heritage site in Indonesia. Methodology and results: The research used a two-step approach: (1) The initial phase entails spatial mapping of physical characteristics that contribute to cultural significance, and (2) The subsequent phase employs the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to systematically assess and rank the attributes that characterize the cultural significance of the area. Conclusion, significance, and impact study: The AHP analysis identified three key priority factors: (1) architectural styles predominantly influenced by Chinese cultural influences, (2) the existence and spatial organization of Chinese temples within the urban landscape, and (3) land use patterns that are congruent with the historical character. These important characteristics were identified most concentrated in the Gang Warung corridor and around the Tay Kak Sie and Hoo Hok Bio temples. The findings highlight the necessity of integrating cultural value assessments into preliminary phases of heritage planning. By identifying the most culturally significant area, the study establishes a framework for devising targeted, recourse-efficient conservation strategies applicable to analogous historic urban areas.

Abstract

After the COVID-19 pandemic, global focus on health has increased, including mental health issues. However, many people in Indonesia still consider mental health to be a taboo subject. In reality, mental health has a significant impact on community life. Poor mental health, such as stress, anxiety, and depression, can negatively affect physical well-being and reduce the quality of life, particularly in large cities like Tangerang. Tangerang's numerous industrial factories contribute to air pollution, the lack of green spaces, and significant social pressures, all of which increase stress among its residents and can lead to mental health issues that may result in harmful actions toward themselves or others. In 2018, TangerangNews reported 15 suicide incidents in Tangerang City, Tangerang Regency, and South Tangerang, with causes ranging from economic factors to depression. According to Pasla (2023), several methods can prevent the negative impacts of mental health issues, including maintaining and improving mental well-being through actions that balance physical and spiritual conditions. In response to these challenges, the planning and design of a Wellness Center could be an inspiring solution with the potential to positively impact the community in Tangerang. Integrated with the Healing Environment approach, which creates a more healing and restorative building environment, this facility aims to enhance community wellness in a positive, targeted, and effective manner, reducing stress levels and preventing depression to improve the quality of life in Tangerang.
