Abstract

The Batang Gadis Watershed in Mandailing Natal faces mounting ecological pressures from environmental degradation, changing land-use patterns, and insufficient community participation in conservation initiatives. To address these challenges, the indigenous ecological wisdom of the Mandailing community presents a culturally appropriate and proven framework for watershed stewardship. This study explores local knowledge systems used in river management and evaluates their contribution to ecosystem restoration. Through a qualitative case study methodology, researchers gathered data  via interviews with community elders, direct observation of practices, and comprehensive documentation of river-centered cultural traditions. The study reveals that traditional practices including as lubuk larangan (sacred fishing prohibition areas), ceremonial rituals (marpangir), and streamside management protocols constitute an integrated ecological governance framework. These customary practices help preserve water quality, safeguard biological diversity, and strengthen community-based resource stewardship. The findings demonstrated that indigenous knowledge systems substantially improve watershed resilience. Incorporating these traditional approaches into official environmental framework offers a context-sensitive, community-driven, and culturally authentic pathway for ecological restoration.

Abstract

Urban cultural heritage sites face growing challenged from rapid development and limited resources. Local governments must develop strategic plans to improve how they manage and protect these cultural assets. A practical solution is to rank different areas within heritage sites based on their cultural importance, allowing authorities to focus limited resources to which they matter most. Aims: This study demonstrates how to use a systematic evaluation method to determine conservation priorities in Semarang’s Chinatown, a nationally recognized cultural heritage site in Indonesia. Methodology and results: The research used a two-step approach: (1) The initial phase entails spatial mapping of physical characteristics that contribute to cultural significance, and (2) The subsequent phase employs the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to systematically assess and rank the attributes that characterize the cultural significance of the area. Conclusion, significance, and impact study: The AHP analysis identified three key priority factors: (1) architectural styles predominantly influenced by Chinese cultural influences, (2) the existence and spatial organization of Chinese temples within the urban landscape, and (3) land use patterns that are congruent with the historical character. These important characteristics were identified most concentrated in the Gang Warung corridor and around the Tay Kak Sie and Hoo Hok Bio temples. The findings highlight the necessity of integrating cultural value assessments into preliminary phases of heritage planning. By identifying the most culturally significant area, the study establishes a framework for devising targeted, recourse-efficient conservation strategies applicable to analogous historic urban areas.

Abstract

Kampung Melayu Petek in North Semarang serves as case study illustrating how the interplay of cultural hybridity and historical stratification has resulted in a distinctive urban morphology characterized by mixed land uses and multicultural spatial configurations. This research investigates the viability of strategic mixed-use development as an instrumental planning to preserve and augment these hybrid characteristics while simultaneously addressing contemporary urban dilemmas. Objectives: The primary aim of this study is to investigate methodologies for the preservation and enhancement of cultural hybridity and historical layering in Kampung Melayu Petek through strategic mixed-use development initiatives. Methodology and results: This research employs a qualitative case study methodology focused on Kampung Melayu Petek, North Semarang, using field observations, interviews, and document analysis through a qualitative descriptive lens and phenomenological perspective to scrutinize the influence of acculturation on the hybrid multicultural spatial organization and its manifestations. The findings reveal that the coexistence of Arab, Chinese, Javanese, and Malay-Banjar communities has created a distinctive spatial mosaic of shop-houses (ruko), inward-facing courtyards, and adaptable land uses—an organic form of mixed-use urbanism that is increasingly threatened by modernization, infrastructure expansion, and rigid regulatory paradigms. Conclusion, significance, and impact study: This study highlights the promise of culturally-informed mixed-use planning as a sustainable paradigm for heritage-sensitive urban environments, offering a replicable framework for other multicultural settlements in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Spatial representation typically focuses on physical dimensions overlooking the relationships between subjects and objects encountered during urban navigation. By reframing cinematic interpretation from a visual arts perspective to one of urban legibility, however, we can more effectively examine spatial representation within actual urban contexts. Aims: This study aims to examine how walking experiences shape the subject-object relations in cultural corridors. Furthermore, the study aims to translate these narratives through montage analysis to reveal aspects of public space that influence cinematic experiences. Methodology and Results: This study uses a qualitative, single-case study approach to investigate the elements of urban space that attract domestic tourists. Forty-one tourists shared their interests, and their spatial narratives presented nine distinct episodes. The study reveals that static objects enhance the visual landscape, while temporary objects facilitate movement and create intermezzo moments. Conclusion, significance, and impact study: These findings demonstrate that spatial narratives offer valuable insights into how sequences of events in a particular urban corridor can shape cinematic experiences. The study's impact lies in showing that pedestrian-based spatial narratives can be a practical design tool for visual route planning, preserving cultural identity, and enhancing walkability in historic urban corridors.

Abstract

Ensuring fire safety in dense residential areas is a major concern in urban disaster mitigation. The high incidence of fires and their impacts, including fatalities, economic losses, and social disruption, underscore the need to evaluate existing prevention systems. Aims: This study examines the relationship between fire alarm availability, evacuation training participation, and community preferences for improving fire safety measures. Methodology and results: A mixed-methods approach was used, integrating quantitative chi-square analysis with qualitative grounded theory. Quantitative data were obtained from a structured survey of 111-respondents, and qualitative data were derived from open-ended responses analyzed through open, axial, and selective coding. The results revealed a significant association between fire alarm availability and preferences for strengthening early warning systems (p = 0.0025). Participation in evacuation training was also significantly related to recommendations for improving evacuation facilities and procedures (p = 0.0064). Qualitative findings show that trained individuals prioritize accessible evacuation routes and routine simulation exercises. Conclusion, significance, and impact study: The study proposes three strategies: (1) improving affordability and access to fire alarm systems, (2) increasing community-based evacuation training, and (3) designing evacuation routes adapted to dense settlement conditions. These measures are expected to enhance fire safety and strengthen community resilience in high-risk residential areas.

Abstract

As environmental issues become more pressing and the world works to reduce carbon emissions, the construction industry is shifting towards using more eco-friendly materials. In East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, lontar fiber (Borassus flabellifer) is a widely available, renewable resource that is good for the environment. It can be used to build walls in homes, but its use is still limited. People are not aware of it, there are no clear performance standards, and the public’s opinion of it is not well understood. Aims: This research aims to examine how people perceive and accept lontar fiber as a building material. Methodology and results: The study uses a grounded theory method, which means it closely examines people's views. Data were collected through online questionnaires from 120 carefully selected individuals. The findings show that many people are interested in using lontar fiber because it is eco-friendly, affordable, and easily accessible locally. However, concerns remain about its durability, strength, and reliability. Participants emphasized the importance of testing, education, and small-scale projects to build confidence in the material. Conclusion, significance and impact study: The study shows that lontar fiber could be an excellent, low-carbon building material made from local resources. The study also points out that to use it more widely, a mix of new technology, traditional knowledge, government support, and community involvement is needed to help build a more sustainable future in Indonesia.

Abstract

Biophilic design has become a prominent approach in contemporary architecture. It aims to enhance human health, well-being, and productivity by integrating natural elements into the built environment. However, despite its growing popularity, current biophilic design research and applications largely rely on universal principles and often overlook ecological and cultural contexts, particularly in non-Western, tropical, and urban regions such as Southeast Asia. Aims: This study aims to examine the global development of biophilic design research by identifying major trends, research gaps, and future research opportunities. Methodology and results: A summative content analysis was conducted on 90 highly cited articles published in indexed national and international journals between 2014 and 2024. The findings indicate that existing studies predominantly focus on direct and indirect experience of nature, while the experience of space and place, especially aspects related to cultural and ecological attachment to place, remains underexplored. Conclusion, significance, and impact of the study: The findings highlight a critical research gap in context-sensitive biophilic design approaches. This study underscores the importance of developing regenerative biophilic design models that incorporate local wisdom, cultural identity, and ecological specificity. These models provide a foundation for future research and design practices that are both globally informed and locally responsive.

Abstract

In humid tropical cities, semi-outdoor retail corridors and promenades support daily activities by providing shade and comfortable walking spaces. However, high ambient humidity and limited nocturnal cooling can reduce the effectiveness after sunset. Thus, 24-hour thermal performance becomes a practical design concern. Objectives: To explain why semi-outdoor retail corridors in humid-tropical areas can remain warmer than adjacent open areas at night. Specifically: (i) quantify the occurrence and magnitude of nocturnal inversion using ΔUTCI/ΔTmrt (node-outdoor); (ii) interpret the patterns using a radiation-ventilation-storage (RVS) framework; and (iii) translate the diagnosis into five retrofit heuristics (H1-H5) for design and operation. Methodology and results: A multi-day field campaign in an Indonesian outlet recorded Ta, RH, and wind speed at outdoor and semi-outdoor nodes every 10 minutes. We derived UTCI and Tmrt, applied quality control, and aggregated the data to hourly medians. At matched timestamps, we computed ΔUTCI and ΔTmrt. During daytime, shaded corridors show clear relief (ΔUTCI < 0, ΔTmrt ≪ 0). At night, deeper under-canopies tend to have smaller Δ and often have a positive Δ, indicating slower post-sunset cooling. More open edges return to outdoor conditions earlier. Conclusion, significance and impact: Five retrofit heuristics are proposed: (H1) Raise local sky exposure; (H2) Split radiative roles; (H3) Enable night-purge paths; (H4) Reduce exposed thermal storage facing pedestrians; and (H5) Deploy vegetation, water, and fans calibrated for humid air. The findings emphasize the need for a day–night design duality—shade by day and release by night—to mitigate nocturnal heat trapping and support safer, more comfortable microclimates in humid tropical retail settings.

Abstract

Despite strong policy support, vertical housing in Bandung struggles to gain public acceptance. This reveals a significant gap between policy goals and residents’ experiences, which shape their long-term housing preferences. Aims: The study identifies the key economic, socio-spatial, and institutional factors that predict resident satisfaction and influence the decision to leave vertical housing. Methodology and results: Using a mixed-methods comparative design was used, including a survey of 75 residents. The results show that institutional factors, such as low management satisfaction (mean < 3.1/5) and infrastructure issues, are the primary drivers of dissatisfaction. Commercial residents prioritize transactional attributes, such as location and aesthetics, while rental flat residents apply a communal logic, linking satisfaction to their entire living environment. Conclusion, significance, and impact of the study: The study reveals a striking convergence: the majority of residents in both commercial (72%) and public rental flats (62%) desire to move to landed housing. This indicates a policy Implementation dilemma, where failures in management and maintenance push residents to desire moving back to landed houses, which in turn undermines the policy's goal of curbing urban sprawl.

Abstract

Changes in land use, particularly the conversion of forests and agricultural land into urban settlements, alter hydrological responses by increasing runoff, raising peak discharge, and reducing baseflow. These changes affect flood risk, environmental quality, and the sustainability of built environments in rapidly urbanizing tropical regions. Aims: This study aims to systematically review applications of Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) and SWAT+ models to analyze hydrological responses to land use changes and evaluate their implications for urban flooding and sustainable built environments. Methodology and results: A Systematic Literature Review was conducted using Scopus-indexed and nationally accredited Indonesian journals. Studies were selected using keywords related to land use change, hydrological response, river basins, and SWAT or SWAT+ modelling. The results show that urbanization increases runoff, peak discharge, and sediment yield, while vegetation enhances infiltration and hydrological stability. Common parameters include streamflow, runoff, baseflow, and sediment yield. Performance is evaluated using NSE, R2, and PBIAS. Conclusion, significance and impact of the study: This review confirms that SWAT and SWAT+ support spatial planning and sustainable watershed management. It highlights the importance of integrating of hydrological modeling into land use planning to improve flood resilience and identifies gaps in future flood risk scenarios.
