Journal of Architectural Research and Design Studies (JARS) is a discursive venue for research groups, lectures and tutors and students emphasizing architectural education in Indonesian context. It connects education realm with building industries and architectural practices. This journal is internationally peer reviewed / refereed. JARS contains variety of architectural topics on architectural history and theory and criticism, structure and building science as well as design practices. The Journal encourages discursive architecture on marginalized community, gender, race or ethnicity, as well as multicultural and participatory approach.

Abstract

This paper examines how local elements in airport arrival interiors are visually detected by visitors and how this perceptual process contributes to the formation of spatial meaning and sense of place. The study adopts the concept of visual spotting to describe the rapid identification of visually salient local features, including regional colors, traditional motifs, materials, and cultural symbols. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, this research synthesizes interdisciplinary studies on visual perception, interior design, and airport experience. A total of 24 peer-reviewed articles were systematically selected from major academic databases and analyzed through thematic synthesis to explore how early visual recognition shapes first impressions in arrival environments. The findings indicate that visual spotting operates as a preattentive mechanism that determines which local elements are perceptually registered during initial encounters. Elements with high visual salience and strategic spatial placement are more likely to be detected, thereby enhancing spatial legibility, accelerating place recognition, and strengthening the representation of regional identity. This study positions visual spotting as a critical link between interior design strategies and sense-of-place formation, highlighting the importance of integrating perceptual considerations into the design of airport arrival environments to improve visitor experience and reinforce culturally meaningful spaces.

Abstract

This research explores efforts to preserve the cultural heritage of the Suku Laut in the Riau Islands through placemaking initiatives within coastal settlements. Historically dependent on the sea for their livelihood and identity, the community now faces significant challenges in maintaining their cultural traditions amidst modernization and shifts in coastal ecosystems. This research aims to identify design strategies that harmonize traditional cultural values with the demands of contemporary development, focusing on revitalizing the community’s living spaces. Employing qualitative methods, including interviews, field observations, and document analysis, the research highlights the critical role of cultural placemaking. Key elements include incorporating traditional architectural features, using locally sourced materials, and restoring communal spaces to promote sustainable coastal settlement designs. The findings indicate that this approach which respects the cultural values and the Suku Laut's relationship with their natural environment can promote social and environmental sustainability. In conclusion, integrating cultural placemaking into coastal settlement design is pivotal for preserving the cultural heritage and enhancing the quality of life for the Suku Laut amidst the ongoing modernization.
