Abstract

Situated on Dealova Hill in Pangkalpinang City, the Tampuk Pinang Pura (TPP) territory has faced longstanding challenges associated with juvenile delinquency, encompassing issues such as drug abuse, illegal street racing, promiscuity, and alcohol consumption. Responding to these issues, the Pangkalpinang City Government initiated the construction of Dealova Park in early 2020, envisioning a Green Open Space (GOS) to counteract negative stigmas and foster a positive environment. Through a deductive-rationalistic qualitative study, this research explores the transformation of TPP territory, emphasizing the pivotal role of the governing authority in this process. The research illuminates that successful development necessitates meticulous consideration and the effective utilization of crucial public infrastructure elements such as electricity, water, drainage, and public circulation. The introduction of Taman Dealova signifies not only a physical transformation but also a paradigm shift in governance practices, highlighting the influential role of the city government in territorial changes. Beyond physical alterations, the study reveals the dynamic interplay between spatial development and governance, providing nuanced insights into urban spatial planning complexities and the transformative impact of governing bodies on spatial landscapes.

Abstract

Pontianak, a densely populated urban center divided by rivers into three distinct development zones, faces significant fire risk. This research delves into Pontianak's density and accessibility, aiming to craft a resilient city map to effectively combat fire disasters and bolster urban resilience. Its objective is to offer a comprehensive, evidence-based analysis of urban challenges, specifically related to fire risk. Employing a quantitative approach alongside grounded theory analysis, this study investigates how population density and accessibility intertwine within a designated grid. It involves calculating the total building area to establish population distribution and assessing city route accessibility using step-depth space syntax analysis. The results address potential threats, such as the absence of fire stations in certain areas, and underscore the city's weakness, specifically its ineffective accessibility. The output of this study is a gridded map that shows the risk level of each area in Pontianak, raising awareness among citizens and encouraging proactive measures, such as equipping homes with fire extinguishers and adopting fire-resistant materials during construction.

Abstract

Coastal cities are most at risk to rising sea levels and increased precipitation. This is however the Climate Change Scenario forecasted for the humid tropical region in the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment report. As standard engineering (grey) solutions are prohibitive in many developing countries due to financial and technical limitations, this paper proposes an adaptive blue approach. It shares insights from Brunei, where the old capital was a city built over water. It also presents findings from a preliminary survey to gauge the public’s views on a set of blue urbanism proposals. The study found positive support for the proposals in general. In particular, there was strong support for: (i) incorporating ‘green’ features into the urban complex; (ii) more public spaces where people could learn about their cultural heritage; and (iii) participation in the life and management of the city. There is however (iv) less enthusiastic response to blue features. The paper discusses viability of the blue urbanism approach vis-à-vis cultural and contextual changes. The insights presented could be useful to other coastal cities in the region.

Abstract

The thermal comfort of the teacher’s lounge at the Public School Buildings of SDN 27 in North Pontianak is an important factor in providing room conditions to support the activities of teaching staff. Thermally, comfortable conditions play a role in increasing the productivity of teaching staff. However, the thermal condition of the teacher’s lounge at SDN 27 in Northest Pontianak does not meet the thermal comfort standards. Based on the facts, the thermal condition needs to be solved to achieve comforts in teacher’s lounge. Formulation of indicators for thermal comfort conditions was conducted in this research with CFD simulation. A seven-day research process obtained on the observation of thermal comfort levels in the teacher’s lounge. The modeling of the software includes indicators for adding heat loads under the roof and changing the wall paint color to beige. Both indicators can reduce the room temperature by 9.4 °C. In addition, changing the opening and applying cross ventilation are also indicators that the teacher’s lounge achieves a comfortable, thermally neutral condition. The final result of this study is that a teacher’s lounge has a 0.26 value of thermal comfort, and the room conditions have a neutral thermal sensation value.

Abstract

This article explores the contemporary shift in urban studies towards prioritizing walkable neighborhoods amidst growing concerns about urban sprawl and its environmental impacts. Focusing on Persiaran Bestari in Shah Alam, Malaysia, the research aims to address the lack of pedestrian-friendly infrastructure and the consequent reliance on vehicular transport in residential areas. This research utilizes a mixed-method approach incorporating quantitative and qualitative methodologies, combining space syntax analysis and behavioral mapping to examine pedestrian movement within the study area. The data collection involves gathering pedestrian infrastructure data through field surveys and pedestrian volume surveys. As the result, behavioral mapping observations revealed varying pedestrian activity levels along different road corridors, with significant pedestrian traffic concentrated around residential zones. Utilizing space syntax analysis, the research detected that Persiaran Bestari and Permai experienced the highest levels of social and commercial activity, indicating higher resident density in these areas. This research highlights the correlation between pedestrian comfort and safety and the availability of pedestrian infrastructure. It reveals that inadequate infrastructure leads to poor walkability, prompting pedestrians to favor safer routes, such as neighborhood or local roads with reduced and slower vehicle traffic.

Abstract

Since the 1960’s, Truku people, one of the Austronesian groups in Taiwan, have suffered from loss of lands, arising from various governmental policies, privatization of land ownership, and implications of the modern legal system. This paper is to look at how the emergence of the privatization has significantly produced and reproduced various kinds of the gender tensions arising from the conflicts of the women’s land ownership in Truku society. The privatization of the land ownership and the introduction of the modern legal system is argued to have created two unique concepts of land rights: men’s and women’s land in the contemporary Truku society. The former is based on the discourse of the Truku tradition interpreted and represented by the men; but the later one is relied on the legal protection from the modern law for the women and their contributions to farming and taking care of their parents’ lands. Furthermore, the different perspectives of whether or not women customarily or legally have land ownership have profoundly influenced on the social interactions among households in people’s daily lives as well as on the strategies of the land reclamation movements in Truku society.

Abstract

This paper aims to explore the significance of portraying space in narrating the independence war struggle of Indonesians people from the perspectives of film studies. In the absence of war documentaries, Japanese made newsreels produced by Nippon Eigasha Djawa or Japan Motion Picture Indonesian branch can present alternative images to discuss the war struggle. When filming the people, attention was also given to the portrayals of the space, which tend to receives less sufficient attention from the public. Nonetheless, it plays a vital role in offering a fresh viewpoint on how rural areas transform into battlefields. The study employs analysis of both visual and textual texts inside the news-documentary films to discuss three points pertaining to rural landscapes: (1) the representations of space in the films (2) the forms of interaction between space and society, and (3) the forms of activities taking place in the space in regards to independent struggle and nation founding.

Abstract

Urbanization profoundly impacts urban spaces, often resulting in inadequate planning, integration, and sustainability. Enhancing urban livability can overcome these problems with Place Making of Outdoor Spaces within Transit-Oriented Development (TOD). This study integrates insights from two research perspectives: firstly, exploring sustainability in outdoor spaces broadly through behavior mapping, documentation, and semi-structured interviews; secondly, focusing specifically on Rajawali Station in Jakarta. Despite Jakarta’s TOD emphasis, gaps persist in implementing placemaking principles effectively. Employing qualitative methods, including behavior mapping and stakeholder interviews, this research assesses current usage patterns and proposes placemaking strategies for Rajawali Station. Based on the identification results, a mechanism for using outdoor space is needed to improve the quality of urban livability. Apart from that, based on the evaluation results, collaboration is needed in the use of outdoor space by users. The impact of this collaboration can produce design recommendations based on sustainable human orientation. These recommendations are crucial for guiding sustainable urban development efforts and fostering community-centric outdoor spaces within TODs.

Abstract

The largest consumer of resources and contributor to CO2 emissions is the industrial sector. Sustainable construction is an approach that addresses these issues. As a significant factor influencing energy consumption and emissions in the construction industry, there is a notable shift in the use of building materials towards those derived from natural sources. Wood, which has renewable properties and is a CO2 sink, is an alternative material to consider. The objective of this paper is to provide a critical analysis of the utilization of wood as a material in the context of sustainable construction. The paper is structured by a review of the relevant literature on the subject, obtained from various academic database sources. The paper outlines the meaning of sustainability and sustainable construction and reviews wood materials in supporting sustainable construction through existing indicators. The results show the important role of wood in supporting sustainable construction from social, economic, environmental, and technological aspects. Some disadvantages of wood materials are the focus of some literature by providing alternative solutions through technology, responsible management, and policy.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of globalization on contemporary Islamic architecture within the religious building typology in regions spanning Middle Eastern and Central Asia. The primary objective is to scrutinize the transformative paradigm by assessing its equilibrium between functional requisites and the preservation of cultural heritage, thereby elucidating common threads and regional differentiations. Methodologically, the research employs a comprehensive approach encompassing case studies, literature reviews, and meticulous photo analysis to elucidate the intricacies of modern Islamic architectural exemplars. It involved developing a conceptual framework and reviewing previous studies to build a theoretical foundation. This was then applied to selected projects. Key findings were that the spirituality of Islamic decorative designs stems from aesthetics linking form and meaning. Spirituality implies an inner vitality and timelessness. Contemporary materials and methods can retain the authenticity of Islamic decoration if the content and meaning are preserved. Through this examination, the research aims to uncover an insight into the socio-cultural ramifications of architectural evolution. By synthesizing multifaceted perspectives, this study provides a robust foundation for architects. It offers scholars and enthusiasts a nuanced comprehension of the processes underpinning the contemporizing of religious edifices within diverse cultural contexts.
