Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of industrial heritage conservation in shaping local identity through a comparative analysis of two industrial sites: Colomadu in Indonesia and Zhujiadian in China. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through archival research, field observations, and stakeholder interviews. The findings reveal that adaptive reuse has contributed to economic growth by attracting tourism and investments while fostering a blend of modernity and tradition. However, commercialization poses challenges to maintaining the authenticity of these heritage sites. In Colomadu, the transformation into a cultural and heritage center reflects regional pride and integration with modern tourism. Meanwhile, Zhujiadian’s as a cultural hub hasrevitalized local economies but raised concerns about preserving historical integrity. This study underscores the importance of a balanced approach to heritage conservation, honoring authenticity while addressing contemporary economic and lifestyle needs.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how cultural identity influences the spatial dynamics of traditional houses. In Indonesia, diverse local traditions are passed down through generations, shaping the identity of a region. These traditions affect the functions of living spaces, which evolve due to various factors, including social, economic, and environmental changes. If not addressed, this phenomenon could lead to the loss of cultural identity. The study focuses on the Tengger and Bali Aga tribes, using a qualitative comparative approach to analyze and compare their traditional spatial dynamics. The findings suggest that local customs, social activities, and the specific functions of these spaces significantly shape their transformation. The comparison reveals that while Tengger houses adapt to modern influences, Bali Aga houses adhere strongly to traditional spatial configurations. The study highlights the importance of preserving traditional elements and spatial configurations to maintain the cultural identity of these tribes. Furthermore, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationship between spatial dynamics and cultural heritage.

Abstract

This study evaluates temperature conditions within the seed bank building at the National Forest and Germplasm Conservation Development (PKHPNN) in East Kalimantan, focusing on temperature control to ensure seed viability in a tropical environment. Thermal simulation results using Grasshopper Ladybug-Honeybee software indicate that the incubator and storage rooms meet the SNI standard, with temperatures ranging from 28.22°C to 28.71°C. However, the laboratory area has a maximum temperature of 28.62°C, exceeding the Ministry of Health’s standard of 26°C. A design modification addressed this issue by relocating the windows to the south side to reduce direct sunlight exposure. A re-simulation showed a temperature reduction to 26.43°C, though slightly above the maximum allowable limit. This study has several limitations, including excluding building material types, which can impact temperature stability. Additionally, humidity control factors were not analyzed, even though humidity plays a crucial role in seed storage. Therefore, further research should consider additional strategies such as selecting materials with better thermal insulation, implementing ventilation systems, and integrating passive cooling technologies to improve energy efficiency. With a more comprehensive approach, the seed bank building design can be optimized to maintain stable temperature and humidity while meeting established seed conservation standards.

Abstract

In ancient times, before radio, television, and telephone lines, traditional communication methods facilitated information transmission and social cohesion in Africa. This study documents the cultural landscape of communication among the Yakurr People in Southern Nigeria, focusing on the Lokpan Kuma (wooden slit drum). Using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach, data was collected through focus group discussions, participant observations, video recordings, and photographs. Content analysis revealed the significance of the Lokpan Kuma in Yakurr culture. Trained initiates play the Lokpan Kuma to alert the locals of potential threats, celebrate bravery, and announce the passing of community leaders. This study contributes to ’ ’preserving the Yakurr People’s cultural heritage, promoting cross-cultural understanding, and providing insights into traditional communication systems. The findings can be integrated into culturally sensitive developments and spatial planning of rural communities to preserve the distinctive, intangible cultural heritage of the People in the face of modernization.

Abstract

Traditional settlements or villages emerged during the empire. Kampongs tend to be located on the banks of rivers and are located near palaces or imperial palaces. The Kadriah Palace, Istana Maziah and Glung Kampung Palace are the Malay sultanate palaces which develop along with the surrounding traditional settlements (kampongs). This study aims to explore the traditional settlement patterns of the Malay community across three countries; Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, to see similarities and differences in settlement patterns. This research is a qualitative-descriptive research with comparative analysis. Differences and similarities will define the existence level of identity of the types of settlement patterns around the palace. Settlement Patterns in the three locations have the same pattern, that is, an elongated pattern or a line or linear pattern with the process of splitting from the river bank to the land. Cultural boundary of traditional settlements is in all three locations where houses are grouped in one place based on ethnicity.

Abstract

Hindu and Buddhist temples across Asia are renowned for their distinctive pinnacle ornaments, which, despite varying names and forms across regions, share a profound equality of symbolic meaning. This qualitative study employs a comparative approach, analyzing diverse architectural examples to uncover and interpret the underlying symbolic meanings of these ornaments on various Hindu and Buddhist temple structures in Asia, such as vat shrines in Cambodia, wa̋t in Thailand, mandir in India and Nepal, pagoda in Japan, and temple and meru in Indonesia and Bali. The findings show that (a) in the human body, the ornament at the top of the temple can be interpreted as the crown of the head element; (b) the ornament at the top of the temple can be interpreted as the top of the mountain; (c) the existence of the ornament at the top of the temple building can be compared to the heaven at the top of Mount Meru; and (d) the ornament at the top of the temple is realized as small, abstract motifs, and has four similar faces. These shared symbolic interpretations underscore a profound underlying cosmological and philosophical unity within Hindu and Buddhist architectural traditions across the Asian continent.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the influence of the sensory formal aesthetics of green roofs in encouraging ecological behavior. Jakarta's ecological crisis stems from lack of green spaces and unfriendly community behavior. Optimizing green roofs and appealing to aesthetics can stimulate environmental protection efforts. Qualitative approach with Robert K. Yin's case study method to propose a model proposition based on the influence of aesthetics on ecological behavior, testing it on mall visitors. Data collection through observation, surveys, semi-structured interviews, and expert validation. The research findings regarding the formal sensory aesthetics of the Central Market green roof can influence the ecological behavior of visitors as demonstrated in the model. Aesthetics with the goal of environmental education within it, influence behavior through the understanding of sustainability in its design and facilities. The relationship between aesthetics and ecological behavior includes experiences of returning to nature, feelings of connection with nature, and environmental knowledge media, which influence environmental awareness and ecological behavior. Visitor characteristics, duration, and frequency of visits also influence the ecological behaviors that occur and sensory perceptions of aesthetics. This study emphasizes the role of education in aesthetics to influence ecological behavior, through relationships in form of experiences, feelings and environmental knowledge.

Abstract

Government properties, such as immigration offices, are critical public-facing institutions that shape citizens’ and non-citizens’ perceptions of state efficiency, accessibility, and legitimacy. Unlike other public facilities, immigration offices serve as key gateways for mobility, legal identity, and inclusion, making their quality, functionality, and accessibility particularly urgent in the context of increasing global migration and administrative demand. This study aims to evaluate the quality of public services at the Class I Immigration Office in Bandung City by focusing on user perceptions and experiences. Previous assessments have mostly emphasized physical and administrative aspects, often overlooking the user experience, which is essential for evaluating service quality holistically. This research adopts a qualitative method using a grounded theory approach and content analysis of 122 Google Review entries. Data analysis is conducted in four stages: decontextualization, recontextualization, categorization, and compilation, applying open coding techniques. The findings reveal patterns in user perceptions regarding comfort, accessibility, service efficiency, and the quality of human resources. This study contributes to the development of public properties that are more participatory, inclusive, and user-oriented. Moreover, it demonstrates the potential of utilizing user-generated content (UGC) as a digital data source to support adaptive and sustainable public facility management policies. The results underline the importance of incorporating digital feedback mechanisms in public service evaluations to better align with citizen expectations in the digital era.

Abstract

The urbanisation of the contemporary world reveals urban challenges, for example, inequalities in spatial distribution, and Indonesia is no exception. One of the challenges is the insufficient opportunity for participation in planning decision-making. Country leaders worldwide agree to address their urban challenges by applying the New Urban Agenda (NUA) to accelerate Goal 11 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs). This article aims to emphasize the extent of public participation in the NUA to enrich the relevant legal improvements and promote prospective enhancements to regulate public participation in planning decision-making as a right to participate in public life. A legal doctrine design, a library-based approach, and the NUA standard are applied to examine the existing laws resting on urban planning, local government, and human rights law regimes. Accordingly, the public participation setting in planning decision-making requires the NUA standard to include the key features of “equal treatment”, “design and implementation”, “evaluation”, and “effective remedies”. The study suggests that the legal compatibility in Indonesia is insufficient to accommodate those NUA standards. Therefore, it contributes to developing legal compatibility in Indonesia, which should foster citizens’ enjoyment of public participation in spatial planning decision-making towards the actualization of the NUA.

Abstract

The spatial configuration of a building plays a crucial role in facilitating daily activities. Previous research has demonstrated that the layout of spaces within a building significantly affects the level of connectivity between rooms. Moreover, existing studies tend to provide recommendations in the form of entirely new spatial designs that differ significantly from existing conditions, thereby reducing the likelihood of successful implementation. The Megawati Soekarnoputri Building at UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang serves as an intriguing case study for this research due to the varying complexity and spatial characteristics across its different floors. In this study, the Space Syntax method is employed to analyze the connectivity between spaces within the building to demonstrate that the proposed recommendations can optimally preserve existing conditions while effectively enhancing spatial connectivity, thereby making them more feasible for practical implementation. The findings reveal that floors with more rooms and clearly defined physical barriers tend to exhibit lower levels of connectivity. Conversely, floors with fewer rooms generally display higher connectivity. This indicates that to enhance connectivity between spaces, barriers do not necessarily have to be solid physical dividers (such as walls), but could be represented by unique visual cues such as colors or distinctive signs.
