Abstract

This study investigates comfort in public open spaces in Bandung by linking measured environmental conditions with visitor perceptions collected through questionnaires. Logistic regression was applied to model the relationship between the two data sets. The model achieved good discriminatory power for predicting comfort, with Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.752, accuracy of 0.679, precision of 0.884, and sensitivity of 0.686. Five parameters emerged as significant predictors of comfort: L90, relative humidity, DGI, wind speed, and temperature. Higher comfort is associated with lower values of L90, DGI, and temperature, while increasing relative humidity and wind speed improves comfort. These results confirm that overall comfort in outdoor urban environments arises from multisensory interactions. Understanding these interactions provides urban planners and architects with a practical basis for developing strategies to improve the quality and livability of public open spaces.

Abstract

Cafés have often been used as informal learning spaces by Indonesian college students in recent years. However, as a public space, cafes are considered by several people as not suitable for learning activities that require a high level of concentration. This research aims to identify café spatial characteristics that can affect learning activities and students’ flow experience. Flow, as defined by Csikszentmihalyi (1990), refers to a state in which individuals engage in an activity with deep concentration, a sense of control, and intrinsic enjoyment, often accompanied by a loss of time awareness. The relationship between the state of flow and learning activities is also explored. The research uses a mixed-method approach. In the first stage, an exploratory qualitative study was conducted to indentify key spatial factors and patterns of student learning in cafés. In the second stage, an explanatory quantitative study was carried out, using closed-endded questions derived from the qualitative findings to test the realtionships between spatial characteristics, flow dimensions, and learning activities through factor analysis, regression, and correlation analysis.   The analysis results show enjoyment as the dimension of flow experience students tend to encounter when studying in cafes. The findings implied that café spatial characteristics must stimulate positive emotions, prevent visual and audial distractions, and promote social interactions between learners to boost flow and smooth the learning activities.

Abstract

Implementing daylighting in office buildings offers energy savings and psychological and physiological benefits for occupants. One type of office currently developing in Indonesia is the loft office, which is characterized by a mezzanine floor, a high ceiling, and a fully glazed facade. Without adequate shading, buildings with fully glazed facades are at risk of excessive daylight exposure and glare issues. Perforated Screen Facade (PSF) is one of the shading devices that can reduce excessive daylight level and glare while still allowing daylight penetration. The research aim is to evaluate the annual daylight performance of PSF implementation with different perforation percentages in loft offices in the tropics. The research method is experimental and uses a radiance-based daylighting simulation. The useful daylight illuminance (UDI) and spatial disturbing glare (sDG) of a loft office with a fully glazed facade were compared to a loft office equipped with a PSF with different perforation percentages. The integration of a PSF reduces UDI excessive and sDG while improving UDI100-3000lx in areas near the glazed facade. Considering the importance of glare reduction in tropical climates, a loft office with a PSF perforation percentage of 20% was selected as the optimum configuration for annual daylight performance.

Abstract

Diagnosing early chromatic decay on tropical heritage façades is challenging because subtle discoloration is often masked by variable illumination and heterogeneous material properties. This study addresses that gap with two objectives: (1) to develop a radiometry-aware hybrid framework for chromatic decay detection, and (2) to validate its robustness across four heritage façades in Semarang, Indonesia. The methodology integrates 2D radiometrically normalized photogrammetric texture atlases, multi-space color and texture descriptors (HSV, CIELAB, GLCM, LBP), hierarchical spectral clustering, and Random Forest refinement with expert annotations. On 2,480 annotated tiles, the hybrid approach achieved aggregate micro-F1 ≈ 0.86 (per-site 0.84–0.87), surpassing cluster-only baselines (0.80) and RF-only models (0.82). Calibration with isotonic regression yielded Brier scores of 0.11–0.13 and Expected Calibration Error (ECE) ≈ 0.05–0.07. Statistical robustness was supported by site-stratified bootstrap and Wilcoxon tests. The resulting calibrated decay maps enable prioritized inspections, evidence-based conservation, and monitoring of tropical heritage assets.

Abstract

This study examines the spatial differences between the cosmological orientations of Hindu-Buddhist temples and the evolving settlement patterns in Central Java. The focus of this research is on temples that are still considered sacred and actively used for religious rituals, such as Borobudur, Pawon, and Mendut (Buddhist), and Cetho and Sukuh (Hindu), which are closely linked to the settlement patterns of their surrounding areas. In comparison, the temples exhibit a symbolically directed orientation—generally toward the east, mountains, or sacred rivers—the surrounding settlement patterns now follow more pragmatic considerations such as accessibility, land economy, and tourism development. Methodologically, the study employs a qualitative-descriptive approach supported by Geographic Information System (GIS)-based spatial techniques using Google Earth. Azimuth analysis, overlay interpretation, and viewshed approximation are applied to examine temple orientations, settlement morphologies, and their symbolic relations to sacred topography. The concept of "social shift" is introduced to explain this gradual spatial deviation. This study strengthens the discourse on sacred landscape transformation. It offers an integrative heritage planning approach, taking into account the relationship between symbolic order and the spatial adaptation of modern society.

Abstract

This research looks into how Green Building principles are implemented to two medium-rise educational buildings placed in Yogyakarta: the Djarnawi Hadikusuma Building (E8) at Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta and the Integrated Forest Farming Learning Center (IFFLC) at Universitas Gadjah Mada. Referring to the Greenship Existing Building guidelines version 1.1, the data collection process is carried out by using on the spot surveys, measuring indoor air quality (IAQ), and reviewing allied project documents, then assessed with SPSS and Monte Carlo simulations. The results of the study illustrate that the cumulative performance of both buildings is in the very good category (Index Score 4.58; Risk Index 0.42). The Indoor Health and Comfort (IHC) quality is the strongest performing category, while Water Conservation (WAC) and Material Resources and Cycle (MRC) still need further improvement. The indoor air quality analysis also pointed out that the UGM building needs enhancements in its ventilation system and VOC control, while UMY needs to sustain the regularity of its already well-running operational management. The risk analysis corroborates the significance of cohesive management to decrease potential inadequacies while making sure the comfort for people. The findings also deliver particular guidance on steps to improve sustainability performance in mid-rise educational buildings.

Abstract

This research examines urban spatial and cultural identity in Semarapura, the former capital of Klungkung Regency, Bali, through the lens of resilient urbanism. It has three objectives of research to reach: (1) identifying some cultural and design key-elements referring to Balinese spatial philosophy; (2) investigating the breaking points in spaces and tensions due to the pressures of modernization; (3) suggesting a hybrid framework for identities that maintain continuity but also flexibility in spaces. A qualitative approach was used, based on fieldwork observations, semi-structured interviews with local actors (n = 30), and document analysis of planning tools and historical maps. The analytic tools were urban morphological mapping, thematic content analysis, and a comparative matrix of traditional and modern spatial intersections. It shows the persistence of symbolic structures (Catuspatha, Tri Mandala zoning, and Bale Banjar), residing in spatial memory and urban form. But a myriad of challenges, such as commercial overreach, scattered signage, and lax regulation, have disrupted ceremonial routes and architectural harmony. Yet, community-generated innovations and adaptive design practices signal cultural resilience through the adoption of Asta Kosala Kosali in the home, green infrastructure harkening back to Tri Hita Karana, and mural revitalizations that act as performative identity tools. The research introduces a hybrid identity model guided by cultural logic and calls for policy change to ensure that both spatial-cultural indicators are considered in urban policies. The Semarapura case demonstrates that situational design and local action can work together to create liveable and sustainable cities in heritage cities of the Global South.

Abstract

Urban parks shape everyday experiences in cities, especially where tourism drives local activity. This study explores how visitors interpret their well-being in relation to the biophilic design features of Batu City Square, East Java. Five quality-of-life dimensions and fourteen biophilic patterns were assessed through structured visual observations and a perception survey (n = 36), then analyzed using Importance–Performance Analysis (IPA). Field observations showed that biophilic cues appear across most spatial elements, suggesting that natural characteristics are embedded into the square’s layout rather than functioning merely as decorative additions. Physical freshness (0.27) was the strongest well-being dimension, while social intimacy (0.13) was the weakest, indicating that the square supports individual comfort more consistently than social interaction. The IPA results revealed an even distribution between attributes regarded as strengths and those considered lower priorities, reflecting visitors’ tendency to value comfort-related features more than symbolic or ecological cues.
