Abstract

The theme of cultural landscape function becomes very important along with the awareness to create a balance of ecological and social landscape functions in urban areas. Urban settlement strongly influences cultural function, both as a form of landscape and demographic characteristics. This paper aims to examine the existence of several important social values in urban settlement landscapes and the role of landscape features in influencing social values aspects of informal residents such as social cohesion, recreation, sense of place, spiritualism, cultivation, and business activities. The research method used is a mixed quantitative and qualitative method by using observations, questionnaires, and interviews for data collection based on a sociological approach with community members. Questionnaire data were collected for further analysis in which the Spearman coefficient was used to examine the relationship between social values and landscape features. The results revealed that residents in Airmata and Manutapen have different percentages of social values in terms of their landscape features, and it can also be seen that the values of social cohesion, sense of place, and local business present a stronger relationship to landscape functions. These results show the importance of social values in informal societies as a potential approach to achieving sustainable landscape management.

Abstract

Sentyaki Park in North Semarang, designated as a Free Activity Zone, currently faces significant development challenges, including limited accessibility for vulnerable groups, insufficient infrastructure, and poor environmental management that results in frequent inundation. This study aims to strategically revitalize the park into a truly inclusive, sustainable, and multi-functional public amenity by applying the principles of Placemaking. The research methodology combines SWOT Analysis with comprehensive activity and site analysis, synthesized within the LIFE Concept (Local Economic Activation, Inclusive Social Interaction, Free Public Access, Eco-Friendly) framework. The findings suggest that transforming Sentyaki Park requires enhancing its spatial identity through an integrated design that maximizes social interaction and economic potential. The resulting revitalization plan proposes clear spatial programming for community activities and supports local economic growth, while also integrating nature-based solutions to enhance environmental resilience. The culmination of this research is the implementation of a 3D design visualization, which provides a concrete and integrated model for the park's future development. This research demonstrates that the application of Placemaking, guided by the multi dimensional LIFE Concept, offers a robust approach to creating a just, functional, and socio-economically vital public space.

Abstract

This study presents a redesign of Sampangan Park (Semarang) into a Free Activity Zone intended to support community socio-economic and social interaction activities. Adopting the LIFE framework (Local Economy Activation, Inclusive Social Interaction, Free Public Access, Eco-friendly), the research uses a case-study approach combining primary (field observation, questionnaires, informal interviews) and secondary data (planning documents and literature). Data were analysed through site analysis, activity analysis, and SWOT to identify strategic issues, followed by spatial zoning and 3-D visualization to formulate design responses. Findings show that Sampangan Park has strategic locational advantages (proximity to arterial roads and existing street vendors) and a multifunctional amphitheatre that can catalyse diverse community activities; however, constraints include pedestrian obstruction by informal vendors, inadequate lighting, drainage and uneven maintenance. The proposed design reintroduces integrated seating, a designated PKL (street vendor) corridor, a history plaza, improved signage and inclusive access (disability-friendly circulation), while preserving green elements and improving management provisions. The study concludes that a zoning + participatory management approach can strengthen the park’s role as an accessible socio-economic public space and recommends further participatory monitoring and a governance plan for implementation.

Abstract

The quality of life in a city can be reflected through the availability of public spaces that facilitate both collective and individual activities. In densely populated urban areas such as Semarang, the existence of inclusive and functional parks is essential to enhance social interaction, physical health, and economic activities. To address this need, the Semarang City Government initiated the Free Activity Zone program, which provides cost-free public spaces in line with the city’s vision, mission, and development priorities. Kedondong Park, located in Lamper Tengah Subdistrict, South Semarang District, was chosen as the design site due to its dense population and limited green open space. This research aims to develop Kedondong Park into an inclusive public space that accommodates social interaction, recreation, sports, and community activities. Data collection methods include literature review, field observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The analyses applied consist of SWOT, potential–problem mapping, activity, site, and zoning, which were synthesized into the LIFE design concept: Local Economic Activation, Inclusive Social Interaction, Free Public Access, and Eco-Friendly. The design outcome is a three-dimensional proposal for Kedondong Park, emphasizing improved functionality, comfort, and quality of public space through activity zoning, supporting facilities, and strengthened elements that promote creativity, social interaction, and inclusive community engagement.
