Abstract

Public space is a crucial element in urban design, especially in coastal settlements, because it acts as a main factor in controlling development and creating a balance between land development and the social needs of the community. Rapid urbanization in Batam causes environmental degradation and unplanned changes in land use, limiting public access to public spaces. This research aims to identify and analyze how public space can be used effectively as an instrument to control sustainable development in Tanjung Uma. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods to analyze the role of public space in managing city growth and maintaining socio-economic balance and environmental sustainability in Kampung Tua Tanjung Uma, Batam. The research results show that the main challenges are limited accessibility, decreased environmental quality, and minimal public space facilities. Strategies for revitalizing public spaces, increasing accessibility and optimizing spatial planning are proposed to support sustainable development and improve community welfare, by involving local communities in managing public spaces.

Abstract

Scholars have observed that residents who perceive their neighbourhoods as unsafe may become eventually distant, reducing their sense of attachment, community participation and pride in their surroundings. This study examines how perceived personal risk of victimization can impact place attachment in an urban residential area. The study uses quantitative survey method to investigate the relationship. The findings indicate that the most rated element of place attachment is place identity in both types of housing. There is also no significant difference in perceived personal risk of victimization and place attachment in both single and multiple family house types. The findings also indicated that perceived personal risk of victimization is a significant predictor of place attachment in single family neighbourhoods but not in multiple family neighbourhoods. Nonetheless perceived personal risk of victimization is a significant predictor of place attachment in the entire study area.

Abstract

This paper discusses how material story constructs narrative architecture by emphasizing the dynamic dialogue between material and its surroundings. It argues that a story embedded within a material can hold greater importance than its physical form, providing a basis for developing narrative architecture. When material is viewed as something alive, its journey becomes important to study. The story acts as a vehicle to reveal the nature of a material, including the hidden one, allowing other agencies to be part of the story. Focusing on brick materiality as a case study, this paper examines how material responses emerge through interactions between the brick and nature. Based on the grouping of the responses, four material-nature dialogues can be categorized: patterning, reflecting, growing, and nesting. This analysis demonstrates that material story allows materiality to be interpreted narratively, generating multiple stories as a basis for scenarios within narrative architecture, enriching the architectural design process.

Abstract

The increasing air pollution in Indonesia has raised concerns among the public, accompanied by a rise in respiratory diseases. One such disease requiring special attention is asthma, with a prevalence of 7%. Asthma is a chronic condition that can be potentially fatal if not properly managed, triggered by allergens and the psychological condition of the patient. Asthma management in Indonesia still needs improvement in terms of services and education, considering the psychological aspects. Thus, a biophilic architecture approach is needed to enhance the management of psychological aspects in asthma care. The research method involves qualitative and quantitative approaches with the following steps: (1) Synthesis of theory and observation of 10 hospitals with 14 biophilic architecture elements, (2) Collection of data on perceptions of implementing biophilic architecture elements in managing the psychological conditions of asthma patients with 41 respondents, (3) Identification of the management of psychological conditions of asthma patients with biophilic design, (4) Recommendations of biophilic design elements for the psychological healing of asthma patients. The results show that 12 out of 14 biophilic architecture elements are applied in the hospitals studied. Respondents' perceptions indicate that the psychological conditions of asthma patients that need to be managed are mainly dominated by overthinking, followed by anxiety, worry, and fear. Subsequently, biophilic design is derived from these findings to manage asthma patients' conditions by applying biophilic architecture elements in healthcare facilities. This research recommends the implementation of biophilic concepts in healthcare facility design to help manage the psychological conditions of asthma patients.

Abstract

Singapore is a country with diverse cultures, histories, and traditions that blend in culture in Singapore is the Arab Village, located in the Kampong Glam district. The region is known for its rich Malay and Arabic cultural values, and has been an integral part of Singapore's cultural richness for more than a century. Over the past century, the Arab Village has undergone many transformations, both physically and socially. The area, which was once a traditional settlement, has now developed into a bustling commercial and tourist hub. These changes bring their own challenges in maintaining existing heritage values. This research uses a qualitative method with a historical research approach. The historical research approach is an approach that looks at events that occurred in the past to produce an accurate interpretation and description. The study of the morphology of the Arab Village area aims to reveal the changes that have occurred in the area over the past century. Through a morphological analysis approach, this study will examine various aspects including road networks, building typologies, and allergic use.

Abstract

The global housing affordability crisis is caused by the commodification of land and housing due to market capitalism pressures. Although government intervention through land and housing subsidies has been widely implemented, the effectiveness of these policies in addressing spatial inequality and improving access for low-income communities remains debatable. This study aims to explore how effective land and housing subsidies function as government policies in reducing housing inequality amid market dominance. This study conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) using the PRISMA protocol to identify and analyze 384 articles published between 1980 and 2025. After a rigorous selection process, 13 peer-reviewed articles were selected for in-depth analysis. The main findings indicate that land subsidies, although designed to improve affordability, often exacerbate social and spatial segregation, particularly in developing countries such as China and South Africa. Conversely, in developed countries such as America, the United Kingdom and Australia, planning policies such as inclusive zoning, which are often implemented, still fail to include the most marginalized groups without sustained fiscal intervention. The results of this study highlight the importance of designing more adaptive and context-sensitive subsidy policies, particularly for developing countries like Indonesia. These findings provide a foundation for formulating more inclusive policies that prioritize spatial justice in affordable housing development.

Abstract

Architecture is a reflection of cultural context of the milieu from which it originates. As such, comparisons among diverse spatio-formal characteristics of certain architectural works may be regarded as comparisons among diverse cultural backgrounds of those works. This paper presents a morphological comparison among two architectural works from two diverse cultures, Topkapı Palace and Tamansari Palace, through the quantitative approach using fractal dimension analysis to measure the visual complexities of the floor plans. The result shows that the visual complexities of both the palaces are considerably similar. The high visual complexities of both may be interpreted through several aspects such as function, history, and philosophy. In conclusion, this paper presents a case wherein the mathematical study using fractal dimension analysis, complemented by the more comprehensive interpretive inquiries, demonstrates the potential of an alternative methodology for research in architecture.

Abstract

Contract management plays an important role in preventing claims in apartment construction projects characterized by design changes, multiple stakeholders, and inconsistencies between contract documents and actual site conditions. This study aims to evaluate existing apartment project contract management practices against CMBOK 7th edition principles, identify claim-causing factors, and develop a contract management framework for claim prevention. The study employed a mixed method sequential exploration approach through document review, literature synthesis, semi-structured interviews, and CMBOK 7th based conceptual analysis. The synthesis shows that the main causes of the claim include unclear scope of work, design changes, bill of quantities ambiguity, weak contract administration, and unsystematic change control. This study proposes a CMBOK 7th based framework consisting of contract planning control, contract formation control, contract execution control, and contract learning control to strengthen claim prevention in apartment construction projects.

Abstract

This study examines the historical and architectural significance of Talang Semut, a colonial heritage district in Palembang. The research focuses on building typology and urban morphology, highlighting the persistence of colonial features in residential, public, and commercial structures. These elements reflect a blend of colonial and modern styles adapted to the tropical climate. Despite urban development and increased land use, the area retains its original spatial layout, including a hierarchical road network of linear, concentric, and cul-de-sac patterns. Talang Semut’s spatial character combines colonial planning principles with current socio-economic functions, supported by communal spaces and pedestrian pathways that mediate between public and private realms. A retrospective evaluation shows the area's resilience and relevance in a modern urban context. The study recommends integrating heritage conservation into urban policy, encouraging adaptive reuse, and enhancing community participation. Further research is needed to investigate socio-cultural life, the impact of tourism and gentrification, and comparative cases in Southeast Asia to better understand the colonial legacy in postcolonial cities.

Abstract

The study of morphology aimed to identify the development and changes of the city form within a certain period. This study aimed to reveal the changes in the historical area of Parakan Heritage City.  The study uses the morphological component approach of land use, street patterns, and building typology. This study used the historiography method, which includes four stages: heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. This study showed the changes in the city form of Parakan in four periods (pre-colonial era, colonial era, post-colonial era, and present-day era). The changes and growth are significantly shown in land use, street patterns, and building typology.  In the past century, Parakan has developed from an agriculture-based trading city to a heritage city with growing tourism and creative economy potential. The change in land use reflects adaptation to the dynamics of the times while maintaining its historical heritage. The evolution of road circulation patterns in the Parakan Heritage City demonstrates the city's adaptation to changing times, economic needs, and socio-cultural dynamics that continue to develop. The diversity of building typologies in Parakan shows the development of this city from the colonial period to the modern era, making it one of the heritage cities rich in history and culture.
