Abstract

Demak Mosque could be considered as a sign. This historic mosque seemed to be shrouded in myth which was the result of the signification process; it was increasingly flourishing in the Javanese Islamic society. This study aimed to dismantle the myth of the Demak Mosque, by using a semiotic approach, with the methods of denotation and connotation. The results of this study showed that the truth of myths was not important, but rather benefit was important. The Myth of the Demak Mosque had provided benefits in the form of economic prosperity, both for the managers of the mosque itself and for the wider community in Demak and its surroundings.

Abstract

The global tourism industry, including tourist villages known for their cultural and natural charm, suffered a severe blow during the COVID-19 pandemic. Visitations to these villages sharply declined, but with the pandemic's end in sight, there's a promising opportunity for their sustainable revival. This study explores post-COVID-19 strategies for rejuvenating these tourist villages, with a focus on adapting to the "new normal" through strict health protocols, improving connectivity, and fostering collaboration among governments, local communities, and the private sector. Additionally, environmental preservation plays a central role in ensuring these villages maintain their unique character and ecological balance. Revitalizing tourist villages post-pandemic not only boosts local economies and safeguards cultural heritage but also promotes sustainable development, provided there's unwavering commitment from all stakeholders.

Abstract

The challenges posed by an aging population are profound, particularly in ensuring that the living environments of older adults foster their overall well-being. This study undertakes a systematic literature review (SLR) of 39 academic sources published between 2005 and 2024, critically analyzing the extent to which housing design and facilities alleviate loneliness among the elderly. The evidence reveals that while considerations of accessibility and physical safety remain essential, truly supportive housing must also cultivate opportunities for social engagement, personal autonomy, and emotional connection. Architectural elements such as communal areas, spatial configuration, and the presence of social infrastructure emerge as pivotal in diminishing the experience of loneliness. Although national policy instruments—such as Presidential Regulation No. 88 of 2021 and Minister of Social Affairs Regulation No. 4 of 2017—articulate a strategic vision for age-friendly housing in Indonesia, their execution remains constrained, particularly in terms of contextualizing design principles within local sociocultural realities. This study underscores the imperative of adopting a holistic and integrated framework that interweaves architectural planning, community-based initiatives, and participatory governance to cultivate inclusive and resilient environments for older adults. It calls for further inquiry into localized practices and co-creative design processes that meaningfully center the voices and lived experiences of the elderly in shaping both housing solutions and public policy.

Abstract

The growing crisis of housing affordability in urban environments necessitates a rethinking of spatial and policy paradigms. As a spatial manifestation of economic and demographic shifts, micro-housing has emerged as a compact, efficient response to escalating land values, rapid urbanization, and evolving household structures. Employing a systematic literature review (SLR), this study interrogates empirical discourses on micro-housing and evaluates the applicability of the Evidence-Based Design (EBD) paradigm in assessing its viability across spatial, social, and market dimensions. The analysis reveals that micro-housing—when informed by post-occupancy evaluations (POE), spatial modularity, and integrative policy frameworks—holds promise as a deliberate intervention in distorted housing markets. Advancing an EBD-based evaluation model, this study advocates a transdisciplinary framework for micro-housing development that foregrounds sustainability while aligning with the lived realities and aspirations of urban residents.

Abstract

Consolidated cities face increasing challenges in managing extreme pluvial events, particularly in contexts of high urban density and low ground absorption capacity. This situation is exacerbated by climate change, which has intensified the frequency and severity of rainfall, generating greater volumes of surface runoff. In Resistencia (Chaco, Argentina), a lowland city with minimal drainage slope, recent rainfall exceeded 125 mm within hours, affecting between 40% and 50% of the urban surface. This research aims to update critical data for sustainable urban planning. Urban surfaces were quantified and characterized according to their absorption capacity, revealing a predominance of built-up areas (73.10%) and a low proportion of absorbent ground (16.46%). Vacant plots and inner-block spaces with potential for reconversion were identified, and blocks were classified according to their degree of hydrological favourability and vulnerability. These findings enable the visualization of critical zones and provide technical criteria to guide future interventions. The study contributes to the strengthening of territorial diagnostic tools, articulating spatial analysis, sustainability and adaptive urban planning in a climate scenario of increasing hydrological risk.

Abstract

Cepu is one of the Dutch colonial cities in Indonesia. Even though it is not a big city, Cepu was world- famous for its oil production in the first four decades of the 20th century. This study aims to map the formation and growth of the city of Cepu from the early period to the present within a regional mapping framework using historical methods. The analysis is based on historical events related to the area and settlements of the city's population in each historical period. The results of this study show that initially, residential areas were concentrated on the banks of the Bengawan Solo River. At the beginning of the 20th century, the colonial Dutch East Indies planned and built the city of Cepu, which was quite representative, located "in the middle" of existing old villages, extending in a northeast - southwest direction.

Abstract

Identifying the need for condensing academic texts into a concise formatIdentifying the need for condensing academic texts into a concise formatThe Kayutangan Corridor in Malang City is a strategic cultural heritage area with significant potential as a heritage tourism destination. However, accessibility principles and inclusive design in this area have not fully met the needs of all users, particularly people with disabilities, the elderly, and children. This study analyzes the application of inclusive Universal Design elements in the Kayutangan Corridor public space and formulates improvement recommendations to promote a more equitable and accessible environment. A qualitative approach was applied through direct field observation and document study, using descriptive-comparative analysis based on the seven Universal Design principles. Observations reveal that key design elements—including guiding paths, pedestrian lanes, ramps, crossing facilities, and seating—do not meet established accessibility standards. Identified barriers include non-linear and disconnected guiding paths, pedestrian walks obstructed by street vendors, and the absence of ramps and disability-specific crossing buttons. This study recommends comprehensive improvements to physical accessibility elements, user-friendly materials, and active disability community involvement in planning. These findings are intended as a reference for urban designers, local governments, and stakeholders in developing inclusive and sustainable heritage areas.
