Core Subject : Engineering,
International Journal on Livable Space is focused on the three main aspects of livable space: community life, environment and technology. It is interested at inhabitation process, spatial structures (of houses, housings, neighborhoods, settlements, cities/urban, and territories), with its essential factors (social, cultural, economic, politics, and ideology), including reviews of phenomena in the context of philosophy. It is also interested at spatial context in relation to the aspects of safety, climatic change, social-cultural connectivity, quality of architecture, public facilities, spatial tolerance, environmental issues, ecological access, and the concepts and praxis of community based development.

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.
