Abstract

The redesign implemented at Alun-alun Batu in 2011 can be categorized as successful, not only for transforming it into a new social activity space but also as a driver of economic growth significantly impacting the lives of Batu City residents. This success has made Alun-alun Batu a benchmark project for similar projects. Over a decade, the built environment surrounding Alun-alun Batu has significantly transformed. The built environment's consistent development influences individual and community experiences, influenced by variations in spatial functions and designs within the area. This has also affected the quality of urban space, particularly in Alun-alun Batu, where shifts in social activities can alter community interactions and the utilization of its space. This research aims to provide an understanding of the impact of the built environment's development on the utilization of public open spaces at Alun-alun Batu. This study used data collected in 2013 and 2023 to analyze changes in activity patterns at Alun-alun Batu, with the 2013 data sourced from a prior study. The analysis focuses on the impact of built environment developments in the surrounding area and the effects of the pre- and post-COVID-19 periods on both the intangible and spatial aspects of space usage. Data collection in both years involved behavior mapping based on predetermined variables: person, milieu, and temporal aspects. Along with observations and interviews. The data were then qualitatively analyzed using a descriptive-comparative method. This study aims to provide valuable insights for future planning and design of Alun-alun Batu’s development.

Abstract

Indonesia has a high risk of natural disasters, especially earthquakes and tsunamis along the coast. Since the 2004 tsunami in Aceh, there has been an increasing awareness of the need for housing and landscape planning that anticipates these disasters. Poor design and quality of housing and landscape environments often lead to fatal impacts when disasters occur, especially in areas where the environment is not responsive to surrounding conditions. This paper analyzes several planning aspects related to these conditions through theoretical and empirical approaches, particularly in residential environmental design and landscape. These conditions are derived from technological rules or principles. It is also expected that examples or lessons from other countries can contribute additional discourse to the writing. From analysis, findings that can be found and proposed are responses to the technological-physical aspects of buildings (i.e. safety and responsiveness), micro-scale housing and landscape design (i.e. building units, clusters, and variety of vegetation), housing and landscape planning at the macro-scale (i.e. land zoning and green proportions), as well as environmental support (i.e. environmental utility, accessibility, and protective landscape).
