Abstract

Perkembangan kawasan perkotaan yang pesat berimplikasi pada berkurangnya ruang terbuka hijau (RTH), sehingga diperlukan evaluasi kualitas RTH sebagai ruang publik yang berfungsi ekologis dan sosial. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis persepsi pengunjung dan kualitas visual lanskap RTH Taman Mebere, Kelurahan Lasoani, Kota Palu, sebagai dasar perumusan rekomendasi penataan dan pengelolaan RTH. Metode penelitian dilakukan melalui observasi lapangan, pengukuran tapak, dokumentasi, serta wawancara dengan pengunjung pada waktu kunjungan aktif. Analisis kualitas visual lanskap menggunakan metode modifikasi Visual Resources Assessment Procedure (VRAP) dengan pembagian zona visual, yaitu zona visual dan tepi, zona inti bawah, zona inti atas, dan zona pendukung. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kualitas visual Taman Mebere bervariasi antar zona. Zona inti bawah memiliki kualitas visual tertinggi yang didukung oleh keberadaan elemen air, keragaman vegetasi, dan intensitas aktivitas pengguna. Zona inti atas dan zona pendukung menunjukkan kualitas visual sedang hingga tinggi yang berfungsi menjaga kesinambungan pengalaman visual. Sementara itu, zona visual dan tepi memiliki kualitas visual rendah–sedang dan memerlukan penguatan identitas visual. Secara keseluruhan, keberagaman vegetasi, elemen air, dan aktivitas pengguna merupakan faktor utama pembentuk kualitas visual taman. Rekomendasi perbaikan diarahkan pada penguatan identitas kawasan, peningkatan kualitas vegetasi, optimalisasi zona transisi, serta integrasi fungsi ekologis dan sosial untuk mewujudkan RTH yang berkelanjutan dan responsif terhadap kebutuhan masyarakat.

Abstract

The increase in energy consumption in buildings, particularly in the government sector, poses a serious challenge in the effort to mitigate climate change. This research aims to analyze and optimize the facade design of the Aceh Utara district office building to improve energy efficiency through an integrative approach between reducing the overall thermal transfer value (OTTV) and utilizing daylighting based on useful daylight illuminance (UDI) metric. The simulation is conducted using Rhinoceros (RH) software integrated with Grasshopper (GH) to evaluate the combination of design variables such as window-to-wall ratio (WWR), depth, and angle of external shading. Validation of the OTTV value refers to the official calculator from the Government Department Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR), while the daylighting simulation utilizes annual climate data to obtain lighting distribution in three categories: insufficient, optimal, and excessive. The research results show that opening and shading optimization strategies can reduce OTTV to below the threshold of 35 W/m² according to SNI 6389:2020, as well as increase the proportion of areas with optimal daylighting. These findings underscore the importance of an integrative approach to energy and daylighting performance in facade design, and demonstrate the significant potential of climate-based daylight simulations to support the achievement of sustainable and energy-efficient government office buildings.

Abstract

Pertumbuhan aktivitas masyarakat diperkotaan di wilayah Jabodetabek semakin pesat sehingga menuntut pendekatan perancangan kota yang lebih integratif dan berkelanjutan. Salah satu pendekatan yang dapat diterapkan adalah pendekatan Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), yang mengedepankan pengembangan kawasan berbasis angkutan massal dengan prinsip keterpaduan fungsi ruang, mobilitas, dan kepadatan. Penerapan TOD di Jabodetabek sendiri dapat dilihat dari contoh MRT Lebak Bulus dan Pondok Cina, selain kedua contoh ini terdapat Lokasi yang berpotensi untuk diaplikasikannya TOD salah satunya ialah Terminal Intermoda BSD. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi sejauh mana Terminal Intermoda BSD siap menjadi kawasan TOD, berdasarkan indikator yang terdapat dalam standar TOD 3.0 yang dibuat oleh ITDP. Penelitian yang dilakukan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan analisis evaluatif terhadap delapan prinsip TOD yaitu walk, cycle, connect, transit, mix, densify, compact, dan shift Studi kasus tentang area MRT Lebak Bulus, Stasiun Pondok Cina, dan Paya Lebar Quarter (PLQ) di Singapura digunakan sebagai acuan untuk memahami perbedaan dalam penerapan konsep TOD. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kawasan Terminal Intermoda BSD memiliki potensi untuk dikembangkan sebagai kawasan TOD terutama pada aspek integrasi moda transportasi, namun masih terdapat beberapa aspek yang belum optimal seperti kualitas jalur pedestrian, fasilitas pesepeda, dan integrasi fungsi lahan. Sebab itu, dibutuhkan pembangunan daerah yang lebih terpadu agar bisa mendukung penerapan TOD dengan lebih baik.

Abstract

Many of the losses and casualties caused by the earthquake in Indonesia were caused by the collapse of residential buildings. Human behavior is difficult to predict during emergency situations such as an earthquake. Observation of behavior during an earthquake allows identification of safety measures to be taken during an emergency situation. These observations can provide knowledge of how behavior patterns occur when dealing with earthquake disasters. Occupant behavior can be influenced by the physical environment of the buildings. Therefore, a good building design should consider the behavior aspects. Until now, research related to behavior during earthquakes in Indonesia is still lacking. The purpose of this study is to identify what behaviors occur when facing earthquakes in residential buildings. This research was conducted with qualitative method that is exploratory. Data were collected using an open-ended online questionnaire and analyzed using the content analysis method. Sample were taken through non-random sampling to respondents who had experienced an earthquake in a residential building in Banda Aceh City. The results of the study found 7 behaviors during an earthquake with 2 groupings based on occupant movement, namely active behavior group: (1) exiting the building, (2) taking actions to protect oneself, (3) helping to evacuate others, (4) staying in the building, and (5) following other people; and passive behavior group: (1) not doing anything, (2) praying

Abstract

This article examines the Cheng Hoo Mosque in Pasuruan, Indonesia, as a case of how Chinese-Islamic mosque architecture is rearticulated within a state-led city branding strategy.  The aim of this study is contributing to architectural and urban scholarship insights by highlighting the role of symbolic architecture in city branding practices and by extending discussions on the political and cultural rearticulation of religious buildings in contemporary Indonesian. While originally functioning as a place of worship, the mosque has increasingly been positioned as a symbolic urban asset through which cultural identity, religious pluralism, and tourism-oriented narratives are constructed and promoted by local authorities. Employing a qualitative case study approach since qualitative inquiry gives meaningful analysis through architectural observation, document analysis, and policy review to investigate how architectural forms, spatial arrangements, and symbolic elements are mobilized in the branding of Pasuruan regency as a religious tourism destination. The main findings reveal that the mosque’s Chinese architectural references are selectively emphasized to produce a representational image of multicultural harmony aligned with local development agendas. This process demonstrates that mosque architecture operates not merely as a religious artefact, but as a strategic medium through which state actors negotiate heritage, identity, and economic aspiration.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation and preservation of the pekarangan (homegarden) in Lubok Sukon, Aceh Besar, within the context of traditional Acehnese settlements. Lubok Sukon, a village where more than 30% of homes still retain traditional Acehnese architecture, has been designated as a tourist village, highlighting its cultural significance. While much scholarly attention has been given to Acehnese house architecture, the pekarangan has received less focus, despite its critical role in maintaining cultural identity. This research aims to examine the characteristics, functionality, and transformation of pekarangan in Lubok Sukon, considering both softscape and hardscape elements, spatial organization, function, and changes. Data were gathered through interviews, field observations, and literature reviews, and key features and spatial functions of the pekarangan were identified. Results indicate that the traditional Acehnese yard still retains significant cultural value, although certain elements have declined due to shifts in the community's livelihood. The study reveals that the addition of new functions, particularly tourism, has influenced the design and use of the pekarangan, while also decreasing the diversity of softscape and hardscape elements. The findings underscore the importance of the pekarangan as both a functional space and a reflection of the Acehnese cultural heritage, with implications for sustainable development and cultural preservation in the context of rural tourism.

Abstract

Architectural cosmology refers to a conceptual understanding of the universe rooted in cultural beliefs and expressed through spatial organization, orientation, and symbolic elements in architecture. The Beuracan Mosque, located in Pidie Jaya Regency, Aceh Province, serves as the object of this study, demonstrating cosmological values embedded in its spatial arrangement, and symbolic features as a manifestation of cultural acculturation in Aceh. This research employs a qualitative-descriptive methods, with primary data and secondary data. The study focuses on the cosmological aspects of architecture, spatial organization, orientation, and symbolic elements that convey cosmological meanings shaped by the acculturation of Hindu, Buddhist, and Islamic cultures. The findings reveal that the mosque embodies cosmological values through the representation of the universe’s structure in both horizontal and vertical spatial arrangements, as well as in its orientation and simbols. The process of Islamization of Hindu and Buddhist elements in the Mosque occurs in an integrative manner, resulting in a unique and contextual sense of sacredness. The mosque can be regarded as a representative example of cosmological architecture shaped by cultural acculturation in Aceh, contributing to the broader discourse on Islamic architecture in the region and the Indonesian archipelago.
