Abstract

The tourism sector is currently one of the sectors that are relied upon to improve the economy of a region. Various types of tourism destinations emerge, one of which is a tourist destination that comes from settlements in the form of villages or tourist villages. This gives a variety of impacts including in terms of the social, cultural, economic, and spatial structure of the settlement. The writing of this article aims to get a theoretical foundation that can later support in solving the problem being studied and the writer can better understand the problem being studied. The method used in this paper is to review literature by gathering several journals that are relevant to the topic. The results of writing this article found that spatial changes that occur in settlements that add a new function as a place of tourism are a form of adaptation of people, people, and tourists (tour operators), with their environment in fulfilling these new functions in order to run well. The factors that influence changes in the layout of a settlement with the existence of tourism activities include type, location of tourism, and social-cultural community and tourists who visit.

Abstract

Abstract: Issues relating to conventional energy and environmental sustainability is a hot topic that has been often discussed in today's developing world. Researchers have predicted that in the coming years, numerous non-renewable resources would be scarcer and harder to get access to. This phenomenon would cause a detrimental influence on energy use in the future, resulting in the need for the development of alternative energy resources and implementation of energy conservation energy efficiency policies in every construction design. One of the most essential elements in constructions that have great influence in resolving this problem is the construction facades. Therefore, this research will focus on types of construction facade designs using the NZEB concept approach. The methodology used in this research is analytical descriptive by using case studies that relate to the construction of Net-Zero Energy Building, namely: BCA Academy, ENERPOS, PT. Ungaran Sari Garments, NUS School of Design & Environment 4, dan CIC Zero Carbon Park. The purpose of this research is to identify various types of innovation façade designs of NZEB technologies that could be applied in construction that resides in Central Java considering the area has a tropical climate. This research also proves that construction that resides in warm climates prefers to use technologies that could prevent and reduce the fallout of sun radiation towards its buildings without sacrificing any natural light and takes advantage of the wind to minimalize the usage of frosting energy in buildings.Abstrak Isu mengenai krisis energi konvensional dan kelestarian lingkungan menjadi perhatian khusus yang marak diperbincangkan dalam perkembangan dunia saat ini. Telah diprediksi oleh sejumlah ilmuan bahwa dalam beberapa tahun kedepan, sumber-sumber alam tak terbarukan akan sulit dan langka untuk dikonsumsi. Masalah ini akan menimbulkan dampak yang sangat besar terhadap penggunaan energi di masa depan, sehingga diperlukannya pengembangan teknologi yang dapat menghasilkan sumber-sumber energi alternatif terbarukan dan implementasi kebijakan efisiensi energi di setiap rancangan bangunan. Elemen penting pada bangunan yang memiliki pengaruh besar dalam mengatasi permasalahan tersebut adalah fasad bangunan. Maka penelitian ini difokuskan pada macam-macam desain fasad bangunan dengan Konsep NZEB. Metodologi yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah metode deskriptif analitis dengan menggunakan studi kasus bangunan Net-Zero Energy Building, yaitu gedung BCA Academy, ENERPOS, PT. Ungaran Sari Garments, NUS School of Design & Environment 4, dan CIC Zero Carbon Park. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasikan berbagai macam inovasi desain fasad teknologi NZEB yang dapat diterapkan pada bangunan di Jawa Tengah yang iklim tropis basah. Penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa bangunan di daerah beriklim panas lebih menggunakan teknologi yang dapat mencegah atau mengurangi jatuhnya radiasi matahari pada bangunan tanpa mengorbankan pencahayaan alami dan memanfaatkan angin untuk meminimalisir penggunaan energi pendingin pada bangunan.

Abstract

The Chinatown area around the Liong Hok Bio Temple area is one of the areas in Magelang City which is known by many as a trade center. The morphology of the Chinatown area of Magelang City can be seen from the structure of the formation of road patterns, changes in plots, and the presence of buildings with characters that are still standing. The occurrence of these developments has the potential to change and destroy the history that is the architectural heritage of the city. This study aims to determine the morphological characteristics of the developments that occur, so that in the future it can determine the appropriate development concept for the Chinatown area of Magelang City based on Tissue Analysis. From this research, it is known that Chinatown area forms a historic urban area which has a certain character as an area that has strength in the development of the city of Magelang. This will be used as a reference in basic concept for developing the Chinatown in Magelang City as a "Trade Area".

Abstract

Abstract: The revitalization of the old city of Semarang was carried out because of the strong tourism potential when viewed from history and economy, besides that there are regulations regarding conservation that resulted in the Regional Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMD) in 2016-2021 to respond to the coronation of the old city of Semarang as a tentative list ( 2015) with the aim of the UNESCO World Heritage status. The revitalization with the concept of "Little Netherland" is divided into several stages. In 2020, only 2 stages are known, namely the first stage which focuses on infrastructure and the second stage focuses on the construction of new landmarks in the form of museums. This study is more focused on the real results of the phase 1 revitalization which began in 2017 and was declared complete in mid-2020. If it is considered in general, Revitalization phase 1 is quite successful because it can revive the old city area both in terms of public interest and tourists and also the economy. because. However, in terms of history, architecture and planology, there are still many things that are considered odd, and if it is not immediately responded it will be a problem in the future, these things include: status of building ownership, vandalism, congestion, limited parking space, Incompatibility between the concept and DED, Failure to work on DED infrastructureAbstrak: Revitalisasi Kota lama Semarang, dilakukan karna adanya potensi wisata yang kuat jika ditinjau dari sejarah dan ekonomi, selain itu adanya regulasi mengenai konservasi yang menghasilkan Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Daerah (RPJMD) pada tahun 2016-2021 untuk merespon penobatan kota lama Semarang sebagai tentative list (2015) dengan tujuan status world Heritage dari UNESCO.Revitalisasi dengan konsep “Little Netherland” ini terbagi dalam beberapa tahap. Pada tahun 2020 ini baru 2 tahap yang diketahui yaitu tahap pertama yang berfokus pada infrastruktur dan tahap kedua berkokus pada pembangunan landmark baru berupa museum. kajian ini lebih difokuskan kepada hasil nyata revtalisasi tahap 1 yang dimulai sejak tahun 2017 dan dinyatakan selesai pada petengahan tahu 2020. Bila dinilai secara awam Revitalisasi tahap 1 ini cukup berhasil karna dapat menghidupkan kembali kawasan kota lama baik dari segi animo masyarakat dan wisatawan dan juga ekonomi karna. Namun jika ditinjau dari segi sejarah, arsitektur dan juga planologi masih banyak hal yang dinilai janggal, dan di indikasi bilamana tidak segera di respon akan menjadi permasalahan kedepanya, hal-hal tersebut antara lain: Status kepemiikan bangunan, Vandalisme, Kemacetan, Keterbatasan lahan parkir, Ketidak sesuaian antara konsep dan DED, Kegagalan pengerjaan DED infrastruktur

Abstract: Tourism has the opportunity to be able to give a good influence on several aspects (economic, social, cultural, and environmental), so it makes one of the strategies of the Semarang City government to be used to solve the problems of slums in Kampung Wonosari. Kampung Wonosari which was changed into a tourist village, and changed its name to Kampung Pelangi. In addition to the positive effects obtained, but there are also negative effects due to changes in the function of the village. One of the negative influences is that there is a shift in territorial occupancy because people have to share their space with visitors. From this phenomenon, this research will raise the issue of territorial shift as a form of adaptation due to the development of tourism in the village. Based on these problems the purpose of this study is to determine the form of territory shifting from the form of adaptation that occurred. This research method uses a descriptive qualitative method. So we get realistic results from the object of shifting territory on the porch as a form of adaptation to follow the development of the village into a tourist attraction.

Abstract: Various attempts were made to reconnect humans with the buildings and places they inhabit. Biophilic design, as the newest theory of reconnection, essentially incorporates organic life into the built environment. This study aims to explore the biophilic concept in architectural design as a literacy reference in the field of architecture. The research method is through literature review and interviews with the primary data source of an architect and one other architect as a secondary data source. The collected data were analyzed using the Biophilia Architecture theory by Prof. Samalavicius (2020). The analysis showed that the primary source was not included in the Biophilia category, while the secondary data sources had applied the Biophilia concept. The study based on the Biophilic Architecture theory concludes that the concept of biophilic design is an architectural approach to solving residential needs problems by bringing the natural atmosphere into space as a therapy for its occupants both psychologically and physiologically. Meanwhile, understanding the creativity of an architect's work can be done through Intangible (intangible) and Tangible (real). The architectural design process consists of the analysis stage, the synthesis stage, and the evaluation stage, which are known as the divergent, transformation, and convergent stages.Abstrak: Berbagai upaya dilakukan untuk menghubungkan kembali manusia dengan bangunan dan tempat yang mereka huni. Desain biofilik sebagai teori rekoneksi terbaru, menggabungkan kehidupan organik ke dalam lingkungan binaan secara esensial. Penelitian ini bertujuan menggali konsep biophilic dalam perancangan arsitektur sebagai referensi literasi dalam bidang arsitektur. Metode penelitian melalui kajian literatur dan interview sumber data primer seorang arsitek dan satu orang arsitek lainnya sebagai sumber data sekunder. Data yang terkumpul dianalisis menggunakan teori Biophilia Architecture oleh Prof. Samalavicius (2020). Hasil analisa menunjukkan sumber primer belum termasuk kategori Biophilia, sedangkan sumber data sekunder telah menerapkan konsep Biophilia. Pengkajian berdasarkan teori Biophilic Architecture disimpulkan bahwa konsep parancangan biophilic merupakan pendekatan arsitek untuk memecahkan permasalahan kebutuhan hunian dengan membawa suasana alam kedalam ruang sebagai terapi bagi penghuninya baik psikologis maupun fisiologis. Sedangkan memahami kreativitas karya arsitek dapat dilakukan melalui Intangible (tak berwujud) dan Tangible(nyata). Proses perancangan arsitektur terdiri dari tahapan analisis, tahap sintesis, dan tahap evaluasi yang dikenal dengan tahap divergen, transformasi, dan konvergen.

Abstract

The coronavirus outbreak is now a problem for the world community. Not only has the potential to interfere with health, the coronavirus often causes panic. In fighting the SARS-CoV virus that causes the Covid-19 pandemic, a qualified body defense is needed. Although some local governments implement quarantine policies to prevent people from being exposed to the risk of the Covid-19 virus, not all people can carry out quarantine at home because of work demands. Therefore, efforts are needed to increase endurance. In addition to workers who are required to continue working even though they have to be quarantined at home, the elderly and also children whose immune systems are still vulnerable or have decreased need to increase their immune system. The easiest way to increase body resistance is to bask in the sun. Sunbathing can be done directly outside the house and can be directly exposed to sunlight, but for some people whose body conditions are not as strong as young people, for example, the elderly, people with special needs, are vulnerable, suffer from dust allergies, and so on, this will cause new problems. So for some people who cannot go outside directly or who are less flexible, they still need sunlight for sunbathing. One way is to enter sunlight through the window openings in the house. This research was conducted with the main objective of creating a prototype or prototype window for the sunroom in the building to increase the body's immunity using the DiaLux software. The research method used in this study is a quantitative research method with an experimental approach. The stages of this research are in the form of; i) theoretical study, ii) data observation, iii) calculation, iv) window prototyping, v) analysis and synthesis, v) simulation, vi) research result generation and conclusion drawing. The result of this research is a prototype window for human sunbathing space which is expected to accommodate or provide human sunbathing space in increasing body immunity. The window prototype in the sunroom that most maximally includes natural light with a lighting intensity value of 8701 lx, namely prototype window 3 which is a window or opening on the roof of a building with dimensions of 1.20 m x 0.83 m. By providing a multifunctional sunbed, it can be an architectural solution to increase the body's immunity to prevent the outbreak of the Covid-19 virus.

Abstract

Abstract: Understanding materials heat transfer ease designers to make decisions in design stages, related to materials, costs and comfort to be achieved. Nowadays, understanding heat transfer does not have to be done by performing complex calculations, many simulation software have been created to perform heat transfer analysis with a friendly user interface. Moreover, the output of heat transfer simulation and analysis produces images that are easier to understand visually, such as flux vector displays, temperature boundaries to infrared color grading that make it easier for users to read the simulation results. THERM is a heat transfer simulation software developed by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, University of California in collaboration with the US Department of Energy. With the license-free usage, this software has the potential to be used optimally by designers and academics who have an interest in heat transfer analysis. This research is expected to provide an overview of the potential use of THERM software for modeling and analysis of heat transfer. The THERM software can be a good alternative for conducting research for academics and practitioners alike, given its ease of use, free licensing and accuracy. THERM produces simulation output with detailed and easy-to-understand visualizations. In testing with simulation, it is found that the material with the lowest density and thermal conductivity has the highest heat insulation power. Walls with light brick material show a significant effect in heat insulation compared to walls with concrete brick and red brick (fire-brick) material.Abstrak: Memahami perpindahan panas pada material mempermudah perancang untuk mengambil sebuah keputusan dalam perancangan, terkait dengan material, biaya dan kenyamanan yang akan dicapai. Dewasa ini, pemahaman terhadap perpindahan panas tidak harus dilakukan dengan melakukan perhitungan yang kompleks, banyak perangkat lunak simulasi telah diciptakan untuk melakukan analisis terhadap perpindahan panas dengan antar muka pengguna (user interface) yang bersahabat. Lebih dari itu output dari simulasi dan analisis perpindahan panas menghasilkan citra yang lebih mudah dipahami secara visual, seperti tampilan vector flux, garis batasan temperatur hingga infrared color grading yang mempermudah pengguna dalam membaca hasil simulasi. THERM adalah salah satu perangkat lunak simulasi perpindahan panas yang dikembangkan oleh Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, University of California bekerja sama dengan US Department of Energy. Dengan penggunaan bebas lisensi (tidak berbayar), perangkat lunak ini berpotensi untuk digunakan secara maksimal oleh perancang maupun akademisi yang memiliki minat terhadap analisis perpindahan panas. Penelitian ini diharapkan memberikan gambaran potensi penggunaan perangkat lunak THERM untuk melakukan pemodelan dan analisis perpindahan panas. Perangkat lunak THERM dapat menjadi alternatif yang baik untuk melakukan penelitian bagi akademisi maupun praktisi, mengingat kemudahan pemakaian, lisensi tidak berbayar dan keakuratan yang diberikan. THERM menghasilkan output simulasi dengan visualisasi yang detail dan mudah dipahami. Dalam pengujian dengan simulasi, didapat bahwa material dengan berat jenis dan nilai konduktivitas termal terendah memiliki daya insulasi panas tertinggi. Dinding dengan material bata ringan menunjukkan efek signifikan dalam menginsulasi panas dibandingkan dengan dinding dengan material batako maupun bata merah.
