Abstract

Variations in interior elements, such as colour, lighting, spatial scale, and exhibition layout, can create distinct spatial atmospheres that influence how visitors perceive and behave in gallery settings. This study investigates the relationship between interior spatial qualities and visitor movement in the Indonesian National Gallery. Employing a qualitative observational approach, the research involved direct documentation of visitor paths, time spent in each room, types of activities, and spatial preferences. Eight gallery rooms were evaluated based on observable interior characteristics, including ceiling and wall colours, lighting contrast, spatial layout, and display arrangement. The findings reveal that certain interior qualities, such as smooth lighting contrast, open circulation, and balanced display arrangements, encourage more extended stays and interactive behaviors like lingering and photography. In contrast, high visual contrast, clustered displays, or enclosed layouts may prompt visitors to move more quickly through the space. This study also demonstrates the value of combining qualitative spatial judgments with behavioural observations to explore how design elements influence visitor experience. While exploratory, the method provides a framework for further research in evaluating gallery design to create more engaging and emotionally resonant spatial experiences. Keywords: behavior; gallery; interiors

Abstract

Lasem, Central Java, reflects a rich blend of Javanese and Chinese heritage, offering both opportunities and challenges in cultural tourism and preservation. This study explores how online customer feedback reveals visitor perceptions of Lasem’s architectural and cultural elements, particularly in relation to Batik and Peranakan architecture. Using data from 13 Google Maps-reviewed businesses, the study employs quantitative and qualitative methods, analyzing star ratings, review lengths, keyword frequency, and thematic patterns. Findings show that visitor satisfaction is closely tied to cultural authenticity. Positive reviews often emphasize appreciation for heritage experiences and the adaptive reuse of historic buildings, while lower ratings highlight infrastructure issues such as water and room quality. The results underscore the role of vernacular spaces in shaping meaningful tourist experiences and highlight the need to balance heritage preservation with the expectations of modern visitors. This research offers insights for improving heritage site management and supporting sustainable cultural tourism in small historic towns. Keywords: batik and peranakan architecture; cultural preservation; customer satisfaction; heritage tourism

Abstract

This study examines the spatial efficiency and sustainable site development of the Poltekkes Riau Tower, a vertical educational facility, using the Greenship New Building Version 1.2 framework established by the Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI). It focuses on the Appropriate Site Development (ASD) category and assesses green area ratio, site selection, accessibility, transportation, landscape quality, microclimate control, and stormwater management. The building scored 5 out of 17 points (29.4%), indicating shortcomings in bicycle access, landscaping, and runoff mitigation. The evaluation process involves four key steps: (1) Scoring Analysis, which quantifies compliance with the Greenship criteria; (2) Spatial Mapping of green cover, access, and hydrology based on site plans and field data; (3) Gap Identification, which compares actual conditions with benchmarks; and (4) Recommendation Formulation to enhance sustainability through passive design, landscape optimization, and integrated stormwater systems. The findings provide insights for improving site sustainability in future vertical educational buildings located in tropical urban settings. Keywords: green architecture; greenship assessment; land optimization; site development; vertical campus
