Abstract

This study examines the transformation of the functions and architectural form of the Bale Banjar in Kuta as a space for communal deliberation and the preservation of Balinese culture amid modernization, globalization, and the pressures of tourism. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach within an interpretive paradigm, the research involved participant observation during pesangkepan wargi (customary deliberation meetings), in-depth interviews with 5–8 informants (including kelian banjar and senior krama), and triangulation with historical archival sources, focusing on three Bale Banjar in the Kuta area. The findings reveal hybrid adaptations of the bale pesangkepan to accommodate economic discussions (accounting for 60% of sessions), an increase in the frequency of deliberations to once every two weeks, the persistence of nonverbal interactions and the bale kulkul as a traditional calling symbol, and the addition of modern LPG-based perantenan (kitchens), which extend the duration of krama participation by 30–40% per session through the provision of fast food. The discussion affirms the resilience of the Bale Banjar through the principles of Tri Hita Karana and Nawa Sanga zoning, wherein material adaptations enhance pawongan (human relations) without eroding the spiritual awig-awig, although the growing dominance of material concerns risks shifting customary priorities. The conclusion highlights the Bale Banjar as a hybrid living entity of the Desa Pakraman, and recommends architectural conservation as well as longitudinal mixed-methods studies for national architectural design guidelines. The study contributes a narrative model of deliberative space for the preservation of urban Balinese culture.

Abstract

This study evaluates the thermal comfort performance of Baitul Makmur Mosque located in the coastal area of the Kapuas River, Pontianak. The research aims to identify the factors influencing indoor thermal discomfort and to propose passive design improvement strategies. Field measurements were conducted using thermohygrometers and anemometers at six interior and exterior observation points for 30 days during five daily prayer periods. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation was performed to analyze airflow behavior under different environmental conditions. The results indicate that indoor temperature frequently exceeds thermal comfort limits, particularly during afternoon prayer periods, while relative humidity remains consistently high throughout daily cycles. Airflow analysis shows that the existing ventilation system is unable to distribute airflow effectively, resulting in stagnant airflow zones and uneven thermal distribution. CFD simulation confirms that the mosque building configuration restricts airflow penetration despite strong external wind potential. The study recommends passive design improvements including cross ventilation optimization, enhancement of upper ventilation openings, and addition of shading elements to improve thermal performance. The findings contribute to passive thermal design knowledge for mosque buildings located in humid tropical coastal environments. Keywords: thermal comfort, mosque building, passive design, natural ventilation, CFD simulation

Abstract

This study aims to identify the patterns and levels of spatial transformation in traditional houses in Bayung Gede Village, Bali, and to understand the transformation process within the social, cultural, and spatial cosmological context of the Bali Aga community. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a case study method, incorporating field observations, interviews, and plan reconstructions of six purposively selected house samples. The results indicate that spatial transformations can be classified into four main patterns: the addition of utility spaces, the expansion of domestic spaces, the transformation of spatial functions, and the adaptation of activity spaces. Furthermore, based on the level of intervention, the transformations are categorized into three levels: minor, moderate, and major. An analysis based on the Hulu–Teben concept reveals that spatial changes predominantly occur in the teben zone, which is profane and more flexible, while the hulu zone, which holds sacred values, remains preserved. This finding suggests that spatial transformations occur selectively and gradually without eliminating the fundamental structure and cosmological values of traditional spatial organization. Therefore, traditional houses in Bayung Gede Village demonstrate an adaptive capacity in responding to modern needs while maintaining their vernacular architectural identity.

Abstract

The Ceking Rice Terrace tourist area in Tegallalang, Gianyar is one of Bali's iconic agrotourism destinations, relying on the scenic beauty of terraced rice paddies as its primary attraction. As tourist visits increase, pressure on spatial utilization in this area intensifies, potentially threatening the preservation of the terraced paddies and the ecological-cultural balance of the local community. Desa Adat (Traditional Village) Tegallalang holds authority based on awig-awig and pararem, reinforced by Bali Provincial Regulation Number 4 of 2019 on Traditional Villages. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Traditional Village's role in controlling spatial utilization in the tourist area. A qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach was employed through field observations, in-depth interviews, and review of customary regulatory documents. The findings indicate that the Traditional Village has performed its control function through awig-awig, area arrangement pararem, and co-management with subak; however, its effectiveness remains constrained by weak coordination with local government, economic pressure from tourism businesses, and limited institutional capacity. This study recommends strengthening collaboration between Desa Adat, Desa Dinas, and local government within a spatial control system grounded in the Tri Hita Karana values.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of wayfinding systems on visitor activity distribution at M Bloc Space, located in South Jakarta. M Bloc Space is a creative area that is the result of revitalization, combining retail, culinary, community space, and performance functions in one semi-open area. The complexity of these functions requires an efficient wayfinding system. During M Bloc Design Week, wayfinding is predominantly supported by temporary signage to guide visitors through the event area. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative approach involving field observations and visual documentation to analyze various wayfinding elements such as signs, circulation, and visual orientation. The findings show that sign design, the presence of visual landmarks, and the legibility of circulation paths significantly impacts visitor movement patterns and activity distribution. Areas with clear visual orientation and consistent directional cues tend to have more visitors and support active social interaction. this research makes a  contribution to the planning of commercial public spaces, so that they are more responsive to the navigation needs of users, while also improving the comfort and experience of spaces in urban creative areas such as M Bloc Space.

Abstract

The Kawi Street area in Malang City contains a number of colonial buildings that have the potential to be preserved through the concept of adaptive reuse, which allows changes in the function of old buildings without eliminating their historical and architectural values. This study aims to explore the potential application of adaptive reuse to colonial buildings along Kawi Street by analyzing the opportunities, challenges, and impacts of this strategy on area sustainability and urban revitalization. Using a descriptive qualitative approach involving field observations, interviews with stakeholders, and a review of relevant literature, the study finds that although many colonial buildings in this area remain suitable for revitalization, there are constraints related to preservation regulations and public awareness of architectural heritage values. On the other hand, adaptive reuse can provide economic and social benefits, such as increased tourism attractiveness and the creation of sustainable public spaces. Therefore, synergy between the government, the community, and relevant stakeholders is required to implement this strategy effectively.

Abstract

Taman Ayun Temple is one of the grandest temples in Bali, which has been designated as a World Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO since 2012. This designation significantly influenced the tourist attraction dynamics based on the 4A components: attraction, accessibility, amenities, and ancillary services. This study aims to analyze the existing condition of these components within and around the site using a descriptive qualitative methodology. Data were collected through direct field observations and comprehensive surveys conducted by the researcher, alongside literature reviews and in-depth interviews with the temple management. The findings indicate that while the historical attractions, layout, and structural authenticity remain highly appealing and deeply rooted in the Tri Mandala spatial concept, certain challenges exist. Based on the primary survey, issues such as material weathering from natural aging, uneven paving on pedestrian access roads, a lack of comprehensive localized informational signage for facilities, and English communication limitations among local vendors and staff were identified. Continuous periodic maintenance, strategic infrastructural upgrades, and language capacity building are essential to sustaining the site's global prominence and preserving its architectural heritage.
