Abstract

Public markets located in wetland areas face particular challenges in utility planning, especially regarding sanitation and waste management, due to low topography, saturated drainage, and high waterlogging potential. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of sanitation and waste management standards in public market designs situated in wetland environments. The research employed a qualitative-descriptive approach with a comparative case study of two student architectural works. Data were collected from design documents, working drawings, and 3D models, and analyzed using a weighted scoring evaluation instrument based on four parameters: wastewater drainage systems, public toilet availability, waste management systems, and utility adaptation to wetland characteristics. The results show that Design A achieved 68% compliance with standards, excelling in waste management and circulation efficiency, but less adaptive to inundation conditions. Meanwhile, Design B reached 80% compliance, performing better in closed drainage systems, sanitation facilities, and site elevation adaptation. The adaptivity analysis indicates that both designs complement each other to form a sustainable public market concept suited to wetland ecological characteristics. This study highlights the importance of integrating vernacular architecture with green utility systems, while also opening opportunities for green and digital architecture applications in developing adaptive and sustainable market designs for wetland environments.

Abstract

The Siola Public Service Mall (MPP) is a pioneering integrated service center in Surabaya that consolidates various bureaucratic functions into a single facility. However, transforming a historic building into a modern public space often encounters challenges in aligning user needs with existing spatial configurations. This study aims to analyze the spatial organization of MPP Siola through a Human-Centered Design (HCD) approach to optimize community satisfaction. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method, utilizing field observation (place-centered mapping) and questionnaires distributed to 100 service users. The analysis evaluates four key pillars of HCD: accessibility, thermal-visual comfort, wayfinding clarity, and spatial inclusivity. The findings indicate that while service integration operates effectively, there are critical issues regarding long linear circulation paths and a lack of intuitive signage, which contribute to reduced time efficiency for users. This study recommends a reconfiguration of waiting zones and the integration of biophilic elements as part of a humanistic design strategy to enhance psychological comfort. The results of this study are expected to serve as a reference for developing public service building designs that are more empathetic and responsive to contemporary community behavioral characteristics.

Abstract

Indonesia, as an agrarian country, has significant potential in the agricultural sector, including coconut plantations which are among the leading commodities in Southeast Sulawesi. Konawe Selatan Regency is recognized as one of the largest coconut-producing areas; however, the predominance of traditional processing methods has resulted in low added value and limited competitiveness of its products. This issue forms the basis for the planning and design of a Copra Processing Industry in Konawe Selatan Regency. Through a case study method and comparative analysis, this research evaluates various design parameters focusing on the application of modern industrial concepts that are functional, efficient, and environmentally friendly, while also considering local potential and community welfare. The design approach involves site massing arrangements, effective circulation systems, the application of structures and materials suited to production needs, and the integration of public spaces that support social interaction and community education. Thus, the copra processing industry serves not only as a production center but also as a means of economic empowerment, cultural preservation, and sustainable regional development. The findings provide valuable insights for architects, engineers, and policymakers in designing industrial facilities that implement modern, functional, efficient, sustainable, and environmentally friendly concepts, while simultaneously contributing to the development of local potential and the improvement of community welfare.

Abstract

Abandoned children in orphanages often face challenges in meeting their psychological and physical needs, which can impact their overall development. Currently, there is still a gap in environmental design that can meet the specific needs of children. Orphanages are a crucial environment for the development of disadvantaged children, where behavioral architecture approach can be one of the solutions to support their psychosocial development. This study aims to examine the application of behavioral architecture to the psychosocial development of children in orphanages. The research method used is a descriptive case study with a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out through direct observation at the orphanage, in-depth interviews with staff, and analysis of documents related to the architectural design of the orphanage. The results show that the application of behavioral architecture approach in the orphanage has not fully met the expected parameters. Although there are some positive aspects, such as increased sense of comfort and security among children in the orphanage space, the room design has not fully suited the age and character of the children. Many rooms require adjustments to meet the specific needs of children, such as more flexible and adaptive spaces to support the development of their creativity, social interaction, and privacy. Therefore, further improvement and adjustment are needed to achieve an ideal orphanage environment for children.
