Abstract

In Banda Aceh, garbage is a significant concern. The trash problem requires the participation of the community. However, there are still numerous litterers, such as in the Gampong Lamglumpang, Ulee Kareng district. Gampong Lamglumpang is one of the villages identified as slums in Banda Aceh City. Poor waste management is a contributing factor to the slums. This study intends to assess the community's waste management practices in Gampong Lamglumpang and propose solutions to these issues. The study uses a descriptive quantitative by employing a questionnaire to collect data, which would be analyzed using Microsoft Excel. The data collection used the purposive sampling method. The sampling was up to sixty families. According to findings, many families were still burning their waste, indicating that their waste management was still insufficient. The author's suggestion for the government is to play a role in changing people's behaviour, such as by giving education and socialization of the 3Rs (reuse, reduce, and recycle) and by teaching the community how to transform garbage into something of economic worth. In addition, the Government must optimize waste transportation for must be optimized for the preservation of a clean environment.

Abstract

Traffic congestion that occur between the city of Surabaya and the surrounding buffer cities which are 30 to 50 kilometers away are caused by the increasing use of private vehicles and the decreasing use of public transportation because it is considered that the process will be complicated and travel ineffective. This will cause an imbalance between the capacity of the highway and the number of vehicles, resulting in traffic congestion, especially during peak hours. To overcome this problem, improvements are made to sustainable and community liveability in the form of optimal utilization of existing properties in the city, including rivers and existing railroad. With the background above, this paper will present the idea of a solution to overcome traffic congestion by utilizing the drainage channel or rivers and the single tracks railroad to become MRT lanes. This transportation system innovation will be proposed as an evaluation of the Indonesian Railroad Master Plan (2018 to 2030), specifically to be implemented in the city of Surabaya and surrounding.

Abstract

Depression is a mental disorder that causes negative feelings on a person's mood, thoughts, behavior, and physical health. There are 3 levels of depression, namely mild, moderate, and severe depression. Depression can be experienced by all age groups. There are 6.2% of Indonesian adolescents aged 15-24 years who are depressed and 91% of them are depressed sufferers who do not take medication or undergo medical treatment. Awareness of mental health in Indonesia is still low and there is still a negative stigma in society towards people including teenagers who are depressed, making the city less friendly for depressed adolescents. The current Covid-19 period has also made adolescents experience mild to moderate depression. The existence of a Community Center for depressed adolescents as a place for them to gather and do activities that can help depression recovery is important. First, the researcher conducted a theoretical study and found 10 recovery environment variables that can help recovery, namely: 1) Privacy, Personal Space, and Density, 2) Security and Restorative, 3) Organization and Independence, 4) Sensory Consideration and Awareness, 5) Comfortable and Homelike Environment, 6) Social Interaction, 7) Nature, Daylight, and Connectedness, 8) Positive Distractions, 9) Goals, 10) Physical Activity. Then from the analysis of precedent studies and the distribution of space atmosphere preference questionnaires, it was found that the incorporation of criteria between space programs is important to create a home-like atmosphere. This study also produced three main strategies that became the basis for designing a community center as a place of recovery that suits the needs of depressed adolescents.

Abstract

Social interaction is an activity that can never be separated from human life. Public space is community place for social activities to occur. Along with its development, public space has transformed its function into a commercial area. Commercial activities require humans to continue to be active in an environment, including in public spaces. Public space is actually a space that can be accessed by anyone, and can provide a memorable space experience for its users, from all races, social statuses, to sensory capabilities (normal and people with disabilities). But unfortunately, commercial public spaces tend to only pay attention to visual experiences and ignore other sensory experiences in human senses. This study discusses the design criteria for commercial public spaces with a multisensory approach that uses literature review methods and case studies at the Pasar Induk Kota Batu, East Java, Indonesia. This study shows that Pasar Induk Batu has met several sensory experiences which are olfactory experiences, visual experiences, haptic experiences, and auditory experiences.

Abstract

Over time, physical and non-physical changes can affect the existence of Traditional buildings. The current phenomenon begins with a social shift in society that is inseparable from the influence of several factors. First, advances in communication technology make humans live in practicality. Second, is the influence of foreign cultures (Westernization). Building conservation can be an option in maintaining and improving the preservation of Traditional Buildings by paying attention to the usefulness, social function, and cultural meaning behind the pattern or style of the building. This study aims to determine the existence of Malay Traditional Buildings and Houses that have decreased conditions and even are almost extinct, so it is necessary to carry out sustainable conservation to maintain the existence of buildings or improve building conditions. The variables raised relating to the approach of aspects that influence the decision to conserve traditional buildings are; classification of structures, construction philosophy (ethics, thinking, existence, time, meaning, and value), the structural strength of the material, material components, the concept of preservation, and community empowerment. The research location is the Malay Traditional Building in East Sumatra, Serdang Bedagai Regency, which is still lived by the owner or his relatives. Research data consists of resources that exist at the research site, both physical data and non-physical data. First, physical data is obtained through the existence of Traditional buildings along with building components. Second, non-physical data can be known through local people's knowledge of culture in development to get supporting factors for conservation. The analysis is carried out using descriptive qualitative methods. Data was collected with literature reviews, interviews, and observations at several Traditional Building locations to obtain data on Traditional buildings. The discovery will result in how much influence these supporting factors have on preserving Traditional Houses, especially in East Sumatra, Indonesia.
