Abstract

Over time, significant changes in social, economic, and cultural aspects have profoundly influenced the function and meaning of heritage buildings. These buildings often undergo functional transformations while maintaining their historical forms, presenting challenges in preserving their architectural authenticity and historical value. The concepts of digital placemaking and Soft City theory offer potential approaches to support the preservation of heritage buildings, emphasizing community engagement and the revitalization of historical values without compromising physical authenticity. This study employs literature reviews and precedent analyses to explore how digital technology and adaptive design can meet user needs while preserving the cultural and historical significance of buildings. As a case study, the Kebon Rojo Post Office in Surabaya is analyzed through interviews and data synthesis to demonstrate the application of Soft City principles, such as optimizing the balance between open and closed spaces and utilizing digital technology to create interactive experiences. The findings show that the combination of digital placemaking and Soft City principles can produce hybrid spaces that enrich emotional and sensory connections, promote flexibility, and enhance community inclusivity. This approach integrates physical and digital elements to revitalize heritage buildings, keeping them relevant in the modern urban context. The study also highlights digital interventions such as augmented reality, adaptive lighting, and interactive digital platforms as effective tools to strengthen the cultural and historical value of heritage sites. These technologies enable more dynamic and interactive user engagement, breathing new life into heritage buildings without compromising their architectural authenticity in the digital era.

Abstract

Heritage buildings serve as vital markers of cultural identity, historical continuity, and collective memory within the urban landscape. Yet in the context of accelerating urban development, many of these sites suffer from declining relevance, physical neglect, and weakening emotional connections with contemporary communities. This study explores the potential of digital placemaking as an innovative approach to revitalize the cultural significance and public engagement of heritage buildings. By integrating digital technologies with architectural space, digital placemaking reimagines these structures as interactive, inclusive, and emotionally resonant environments that bridge past and present. Employing a qualitative research methodology, this study draws from literature reviews, site analysis, community narratives, and design conceptualization to formulate a framework that supports the transformation of underutilized heritage sites into dynamic public spaces. The research highlights the importance of memory, identity, and cultural resonance as central components of revitalization efforts, proposing a layered approach that merges physical preservation with meaningful digital engagement. The outcomes of this study offer both theoretical and practical contributions to the fields of architectural design and heritage conservation, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary, adaptive, and community-sensitive methods. This approach ensures that heritage buildings remain relevant, accessible, and culturally valuable in contemporary urban life.

Abstract

The spread of the COVID-19 virus since it first appeared in Wuhan (2019) to all regions of the world has had implications in various sectors and endangered people's lives. As a result, the entire world is under lockdown and travel is prohibited. Public transport as community commuting could increase the risk of virus transmission widely. Therefore, some new design ideas are approached to facilitate people mobility and to mitigate and hinder the spread of virus. This study aims to address the ongoing public health problem posed by the COVID-19 outbreak by designing a post-pandemic bus terminal in Mataram City, Indonesia, incorporating health protocols and physical distancing to prevent COVID cases. The study used architecture design methods by collecting some data onsite and offsite, analysing the data through site analysis and programming, and then proposing design concepts for the bus terminal. The results show a bus terminal building design that incorporates green elements, flexible furniture, signage to promote physical distancing and minimize the spread of COVID-19 and incorporates Sasak Architecture concepts, creating a distinctive, and visually appealing appearance. This study concludes that the design of a bus terminal building can play a crucial role in promoting physical distancing and minimizing the spread of COVID-19.

Abstract

Effective evacuation routes are crucial in educational buildings, particularly in earthquake-prone regions, to ensure the safety of occupants during emergencies. One of the most significant issues identified in such contexts is the potential for bottlenecks during evacuation. These bottlenecks often result from confusion caused by unclear signage, poor distribution of exits, and high occupant density during peak academic hours. This study evaluated the effectiveness of evacuation routes in the Faculty of Islamic Studies (FIAI) of the Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII), Sleman, through an evaluative approach that combines direct field observation and agent-based evacuation simulation using Pathfinder software. Observations were conducted to assess corridor widths, signage placement, and physical obstructions, while the simulation examined pedestrian movement, evacuation times, and congestion points under high-density scenarios. The evaluation was also benchmarked against the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 03-1746-2000) and NFPA 101: Life Safety Code for evacuation planning as part of the methodological framework. The findings indicate that only the building’s structural components comply with the expected standards, while several supporting facilities—such as signage visibility, exit distribution, and circulation flow—require significant improvements. Enhancing these aspects is essential to improve overall evacuation performance and ensure safety in academic environments.

Abstract

Recurring floods in Beru-Beru Village, West Sulawesi, devastate 200 hectares annually, resulting in economic losses of Rp 2 billion. This study presents a participatory approach that combines Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with Disaster Imagination Games (DIG) to transform community-based flood risk assessment. Utilizing structured stakeholder engagement with 40 people, we employed the risk formula R = (H × V × (1-C))¹/² on 1,401.2 hectares, uncovering significant regional variation. 15.4% of high-risk areas are centered in the Kampung Baru and Kampung Rea hamlets, whilst 30.1% of the region exhibited very low adaptive capacity. The incorporation of DIG-GIS facilitated unparalleled community engagement, converting passive risk recipients into proactive risk evaluators, hence allowing for real-time verification of technical studies through the amalgamation of local expertise. This methodology, in contrast to traditional top-down approaches, attained 89% stakeholder consensus in risk prioritization and enhanced hazard awareness by 340% relative to the first survey. This framework's primary novelty is the democratization of scientific risk assessment, coupled with technical rigor, resulting in spatially explicit risk maps that are comprehensible and trusted by the community. Research findings demonstrate that participatory GIS, when integrated with serious games, can effectively connect expert knowledge with community perceptions, fundamentally shifting catastrophe planning from a reactive to a proactive framework. This methodological advancement provides a quantifiable option for flood-prone developing areas where community endorsement is crucial for the efficacy of interventions.

Abstract

Jakarta faces significant urban challenges, including congestion, pollution, and a lack of green spaces, which negatively impact public health. The Gelora Bung Karno (G.B.K.) Sports Complex holds substantial potential to enhance physical and mental well-being by integrating healing architecture principles. This study identifies and analyses the architectural elements at G.B.K. that contribute to a healthier environment, such as natural lighting, green spaces, and environmentally friendly materials. The research initially employed a qualitative approach, collecting data through field observations and literature reviews. However, this updated approach incorporates quantitative methods by introducing measurable indicators for the effectiveness of healing architecture at G.B.K., using surveys and statistical analysis to assess user satisfaction and well-being. The findings suggest that integrating healing architecture in G.B.K. significantly enhances environmental quality and public health, making it a model for urban spaces in Jakarta. The discussion highlights the importance of natural elements, spatial design, and user-centred facilities in creating environments conducive to both mental and physical health. The study concludes that while G.B.K. effectively embodies the principles of healing architecture, further improvements in artificial lighting, thermal comfort, and user-specific spaces could elevate its role as a therapeutic urban environment. Recommendations include expanding green spaces, optimizing lighting systems, and enhancing public participation in developing G.B.K. to ensure its long-term sustainability as a healing space.

Abstract

Climate change has increased the frequency and intensity of flood events, posing substantial threats to urban settlements, especially those situated in topographically vulnerable areas. This study investigates the role of geographical and topographical attributes—such as elevation, slope, proximity to water bodies, and landform configuration—in shaping flood exposure. Through a systematic literature review of 31 peer-reviewed articles, the research highlights the physical determinants of flood risk under changing climate conditions. It identifies critical spatial factors contributing to exposure, including natural features (e.g., low-lying coastlines and floodplains) and anthropogenic interventions (e.g., artificial fill, unregulated urban expansion, and inadequate drainage). Case studies from diverse contexts—such as O‘ahu (Hawai‘i), Bekasi (Indonesia), and the Tanaro River Valley (Italy)—demonstrate how these spatial characteristics interact with climate-driven hazards to amplify urban flood risks. Unlike many previous studies that emphasize hazard intensity or socio-economic vulnerability, this research narrows its scope to physical exposure as a foundational dimension of risk. The findings stress the need for spatially grounded planning approaches that integrate topographic analysis and nature-based solutions into disaster risk reduction and urban resilience strategies. By focusing on exposure, this study provides a conceptual contribution to the field of urban climate adaptation, reframing physical geography not as a passive backdrop but as an active and dynamic determinant of vulnerability. This study highlights physical exposure as an active spatial condition, offering a reframed perspective for integrating topographic insight into urban flood resilience planning.

Abstract

This study evaluates the level of walkability in the Kauman and Notoprayan Villages in Yogyakarta to support connectivity between Ngabean parking facilities and major tourist destinations, such as Alun-Alun Utara and Kauman Mosque. The analysis employs six walkability variables: shaped, connected, comfortable, safety, security, and interesting. Data were collected through field observations, measurements, and documentation, and were then quantitatively analyzed using a scoring technique. The findings reveal that the average walkability index of the area is 3.58, indicating good walkability quality. The "shaped" variable recorded the highest score of 4.19, categorized as good. However, the "comfortable" variable received the lowest score of 2.96, reflecting the lack of supporting amenities such as shade, seating, and trash bins. Several outer roads require improvements in comfort, safety, and attractiveness. This research contributes significantly to urban kampung planning by providing design- and regulation-based recommendations to enhance the quality of pedestrian pathways, strengthen connectivity, and support a sustainable tourist experience.
