Abstract

Borobudur Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site located in Central Java, Indonesia, is famous for its architectural splendor and spiritual significance. However, the auditory experience of visitors, as part of the cultural landscape, has been minimally researched. This research aims to identify and explore the soundscape at Borobudur Temple and examine visitors' auditory perceptions. Soundscape, introduced by R. Murray Schafer, encompasses the acoustic environment understood and experienced by individuals or communities, which influences their perception and experience of a location. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, this study collected data by field measurement of sound intensity and characteristics as a physical form of the acoustic environment, and visitor perceptions collected by adapting a questionnaire based on Method B of ISO/TS 12913-2. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, soundscape analysis of perceptual attributes, and word cloud to examine respondent’s feedback. This research not only expands knowledge on acoustic evaluation of cultural heritage sites, but also provides a basis for soundscape management strategies that can enhance visitor experience and preserve acoustic heritage.

Abstract

Residential land is becoming less available as Medan city centers continue to grow. As a result, land and house values have skyrocketed. In addition, the increasing number of city dwellers has made it more difficult to supply the demand for housing. One way to solve this problem is to build vertikal buildings that provide vertikal hunian that can satisfy the needs of the local populace. Perimahan vertikal may be a necessary and practical measure for the general public who wish to interact with workplaces, public spaces, educational institutions, and other activities.Vertical buildings are buildings that have a perpendicular shape and arrangement from bottom to top. Low-rise buildings have three or four layers of floors or a height of + 10 meters, while high-rise buildings have more than four layers of floors and a height of more than 10 meters. Vertical buildings or multi-storey buildings have several influences, including land efficiency. Vertical use of space can increase land efficiency. House prices. Demand for space. Multi-storey buildings are built to meet the high demand for space in the area. Multi-storey buildings are built because of limited expensive land in urban areas.The demand for apartments becomes a wise investment when the population of urban areas continues to expand but there is a lack of equivalent urban land for housing. With its large capacity, vertical housing may produce green open space in a vertical setting.

Abstract

This study explains the morphological characteristics that occur in the coastal area of ​​Belawan District. The Belawan coastal area experienced morphological changes in the form of changes in the coastline due to reclamation which was carried out in 2017, resulting in various phenomena such as abrasion and accretion on the Belawan coastline. This abrasion and accretion phenomenon also makes tidal flood disaster intervals in the Belawan sub-district more frequent. The tidal flood disaster had an impact on the spatial structure of the Belawan sub-district, such as damaged road and residential infrastructure, patterns of selecting industrial locations, warehousing, and service trade which avoided areas that had a high potential for flood disasters. This research seeks to determine the morphological characteristics of the Belawan coastal and the analytical method used in this research is descriptive analysis. The results of this research show that the characteristics of the Belawan coastal area have experienced changes originating from a combination of human and natural activities which have an influence on the spatial structure of Belawan District.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the spatial structure of West Medan. This spatial structure analysis can help understand the influence of transportation network connectivity on spatial structure in the West Medan sub-district. Transportation is an essential and strategic means in an area; the existence of a transportation system has a connection with the transportation network that forms an area that makes the place a crowded urban space or even the center of community activity patterns with urban spatial planning that is formed into a commercial space. The transportation system is a chain of transportation consisting of a network that connects the centers of activities and supporting activities of the city with the road network system in the West Medan District. The connectivity pattern of transportation networks such as highways, public transportation, and bus lines can affect spatial structures such as land use and the distribution of activities in West Medan.

Abstract

Population growth and urban development will increase, but the existence of environmental balancers such as green open spaces does not accompany the impact of the growth that occurs. It can result in a decrease in the quality of the urban environment. To study the ebb and flow of development and design of a settlement can be done through settlement morphology. This study aims to examine the availability of green space and housing morphology patterns in Medan Helvetia District as part of an effort to understand the dynamics of the urban environment. The method used is descriptive qualitative; data collection is carried out in two ways, namely primary data through observation and documentation, while secondary data through several reference sources from scientific journals related to green space and housing morphology, Google Earth, Google Maps, Medan City RDTR, and similar websites. The data that has been collected will be analyzed through qualitative methods. The study results indicate that the availability of green space in Helvetia District still needs to meet the standards for green space in Medan City. There are variations in the distribution of green space and housing morphology patterns that are influenced by population growth factors, spatial planning policies, and city infrastructure development. This finding contributes to sustainable urban environmental planning in Medan Helvetia District, especially in providing green space and regulating housing development patterns.

Abstract

The structure supported by foundation with different elevations, which the foundation is supported at different elevations, is one of the most commonly used structural types in hillside buildings. In this structure, the uneven settlement of the foundation generates internal forces in the structure. In this paper, the effect of foundation uneven settlement on the internal force of the structure in a hillside building is analyzed. The results showed that even small uneven settlements also can generate large internal forces in the structure, while internal forces mainly occur in the beams connecting the upper and lower support storey, and relatively large internal forces occur in the supporting columns of upper embedding storey. When the uneven settlement occurs, the beam mainly generates shear and bending moments and the axial force is relatively small. The column mainly generates axial and bending moments, and tensile internal force is occurred in the some beams. The results obtained in this paper can be referred to the structural design of the hillside building structure and serve as a basis for further research.
