Abstract

Background: Modern airports play a vital role in the global transportation network, but they also contribute greatly to the environmental crisis due to high energy consumption and carbon emissions. This study examines the transformation of green architecture through the application of biophilic design as a mitigation strategy at three international airports (Changi, Munich, and Banyuwangi). Methods: A comparative case study approach with mixed methods (architectural observation, document analysis, and user surveys) was used to evaluate the integration of biophilic elements in an effort to improve energy efficiency, resource management, and adaptation to local climatic and cultural conditions. Findings: The results of the study show that the adaptation of biophilic design that takes into account local wisdom and local climate is able to optimize the performance of the airport environment, significantly reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, and improve the psychological comfort of users. In addition, the application of natural elements such as indoor gardens, artificial waterfalls, green roofs, and natural ventilation is proven to create a healthier and more attractive space atmosphere. Conclusion: These findings enrich the discourse on sustainable architecture, affirm the relevance of biophilic design in facing the challenges of the global environmental crisis, and provide practical recommendations for the development of more environmentally friendly transportation infrastructure. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study offers originality by demonstrating how biophilic design, grounded in local wisdom and climatic context, can transform large-scale airport infrastructure into sustainable, human-centered public spaces with strong cultural identity, while simultaneously enhancing ecological performance and user well-being.

Abstract

Background: Urban edge zones—the transitional areas between dense urban cores and peri-urban landscapes—often face rapid development pressure, environmental vulnerability, and uneven access to public space. Although energy-positive and carbon-neutral design strategies are increasingly discussed, their integration with participatory placemaking remains underexamined, particularly at community scale in edge contexts. Methods: This study adopts a qualitative design-research case study in Amsterdam Noord, combining site-based environmental observation (e.g., solar exposure, wind behavior, vegetation, and use patterns) with iterative participatory co-design workshops. The architectural proposal was developed through low-tech, human-centered methods, emphasizing passive design optimization, low-embodied-carbon material strategies, and on-site renewable energy integration. Findings: Community input consistently prioritized shaded gathering areas, accessible green space, edible gardens, ecological pathways, and flexible multipurpose zones, which directly shaped spatial organization and environmental strategies. The proposed community green structure achieved a projected 12% operational energy surplus through integrated passive measures and photovoltaic-based generation. Survey findings further indicated high satisfaction with the co-design process, strong recognition of environmental friendliness, increased sustainability awareness, and broad support for applying similar participatory approaches in future projects. Conclusion: This study suggest that energy-positive, carbon-neutral community architecture can be effectively developed in urban edge environments when environmental logic is embedded within participatory, context-sensitive placemaking. This integrated approach supports both measurable environmental performance and social outcomes such as ownership, trust, and long-term stewardship. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research contributes a replicable participatory design model for energy-positive green-space architecture tailored to urban edge conditions, demonstrating how technical sustainability goals can be advanced together with community-led placemaking outcomes.

Abstract

Background:  Gender-inclusive public spaces play a crucial role in supporting social interaction, safety, and economic participation for diverse user groups, particularly women and vulnerable communities. In the Indonesian urban context, the integration of gender–responsive architectural principles in public space design remains uneven and is often constrained by normative and policy-oriented approaches. This study aims to identify key principles of gender–responsive architecture and examine their relevance to social and economic impacts in public spaces. Methods: This research adopts a qualitative descriptive approach using document analysis. Data were collected from international guidelines, national policies, and academic literature related to gender–responsive planning, inclusive design, and public space development. The documents were selected based on relevance and credibility, and analyzed using thematic coding to identify recurring architectural principles and their associated social and economic implications. Findings: The findings reveal several core principles of gender–responsive architecture in public spaces, including accessibility, safety, visibility, spatial legibility, and universal design. These principles are closely associated with positive social outcomes such as increased sense of safety, social interaction, and inclusiveness, as well as economic impacts through the activation of informal economic activities, micro-enterprises, and community-based creative initiatives. Conclusion: The study concludes that gender–responsive architectural principles provide an essential framework for creating inclusive and human-centered public spaces in Indonesia. By systematically linking design principles with social and economic outcomes, this research contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of gender-inclusive public space development. Novelty/Originality of this article: This article offers an original contribution by systematically synthesizing gender–responsive architectural principles and explicitly linking them to social and economic impacts in Indonesian public spaces, thereby advancing human-centered public space design and placemaking evaluation within urban streetscape and public realm studies.

Abstract

Background:  Over the past two decades, rapid urbanization in Jakarta has increased by 19%, contributing significantly to urban environmental degradation. The North Kembangan Urban Forest represents one of the green open spaces intended to support environmental improvement in urban planning. However, its management and aesthetic value remain suboptimal. Aligning with an emerging placemaking perspective that emphasizes user experience and place quality, enhancing aesthetic value offers a viable solution to improve green open space (GOS) quality by integrating public perception and expert assessment. Methods: This study utilized a questionnaire survey, a Scenic Beauty Estimation (SBE) analysis involving public respondents, and an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) involving experts. Findings: The results indicated that photos 5, 7, and 10 received the highest scores, falling within the moderate aesthetic category. There was a significant relationship between color scores, vegetation scores, neatness scores, and comfort scores and aesthetic value, with neatness and comfort identified as the most influential parameters. The High-Canopy Tropical GOS was identified as the preferred development alternative, with the highest priority weight of 0.41. Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of integrating ecological, economic, social aspects, and aesthetic value in GOS planning, particularly in the North Kembangan Urban Forest to create meaningful, engaging, and user-oriented public spaces. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study contributes a novel, integrated approach by combining public aesthetic perception with expert-based multi-criteria decision-making. This synthesis results in an aesthetic-driven GOS model underpinned by an environmental science perspective, and contributes to the development of urban GOS planning which is user-centered and place-oriented.

Abstract

Background: Rapid urban expansion exerts significant environmental pressure that degrades the quality and distribution of urban green open spaces (GOS). Urbanisation displaces vegetation cover, fragments ecological connectivity, and exacerbates the urban heat island effect, making comprehensive GOS quality assessment a critical planning priority. This study evaluates the quality of GOS distribution at the sub-district level in Semarang City, Indonesia, using the building blue-green index (BBGI). Methods: The BBGI framework integrates five parameters—vegetation index (VI), green index (GI), blue index (BI), impervious surface index (ISI), and high-rise building index (HBI)—weighted through analytical hierarchy process (AHP). Landsat satellite imagery (2010, 2020, 2024) was analysed using normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI)-based land-cover classification in ArcGIS 10.8. Findings: Nearest neighbor analysis (NNA) was applied to characterise the spatial distribution pattern of GOS, and spatial multi-criteria analysis (SMCA) was used to compute composite BBGI scores for all 16 sub-districts. GOS quality in Semarang City is spatially uneven, following a concentric pattern. Only three sub-districts achieved the high-quality category: Gunungpati (BBGI = 5.214), Mijen (4.540), and Tugu (4.522). Four sub-districts fell in the moderate category, and nine sub-districts (56.25%) were classified as low quality, with BBGI scores ranging from 1.479 to 2.608, concentrated in the urban core. The NNA z-score of −44.82 confirms a statistically significant clustered distribution of GOS, indicating systematic spatial inequality. Despite Semarang's relatively high aggregate GOS proportion (44.12%), qualitative distribution remains highly inequitable, constituting a form of environmental injustice for densely populated central districts. A zone management strategy—encompassing conservation, buffer, and intensification zones—is recommended to optimise GOS in accordance with the specific characteristics of each sub-district. Conclusion: This study represents the first application of the BBGI framework at sub-district scale in Semarang City, integrating multitemporal Landsat data, NNA spatial analysis, and AHP-weighted multicriteria evaluation. Novelty/Originality of this article: The findings provide a spatially explicit, evidence-based foundation for differentiated GOS optimisation strategies in rapidly urbanising Indonesian cities.

Abstract

Background: Commuting is a prevalent activity for Indonesian people. People commute for various activities, but most of them choose to use their private vehicles in their daily mobility, inferring that the willingness to choose public transportation is still low. The huge reliance on private vehicles has various impacts, such as creating heavier traffic congestion and worsening the air pollution. Hence, modal shift behavior of the passengers from private vehicles to public transport is essential. This study aims to analyze the research trends and development of modal shift behavior towards Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems in Indonesia and synthesize the main influencing factors. Methods: This quantitatively synthesized study applies a systematic literature review where the articles published in relevant academic databases from 2004 to 2026 were collected and went through identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion based on the PRISMA framework. The 251 selected articles were analyzed and reveal that BRT has been able to support the commuters to shift towards public transportation. Findings: The bibliometric analysis using Bibliometrix and VOSViewer software and further systematic content analysis were employed. Some studies also used the theory of planned behavior (TPB) as their approach. Several key factors influencing the modal shift behavior of the passengers are time travel, accessibility, service quality, and cost efficiency. Therefore, BRT has significant potential to increase the use of public transportation in Indonesia and the modal shift behavior of the commuters. Conclusion: Future study is recommended to explore the modal shift behavior towards other types of public transportation and analyze the environmental impacts of public transportation in Indonesia. Novelty/Originality of this article: This review contributes in providing a comprehensive synthesis of the relevant research in supporting the policy makers in designing strategies to optimize the use of BRT as well as in developing better sustainable transportation in urban cities across Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Urban sustainability is often associated with the provision of green infrastructure, yet the presence of parks, pedestrian areas, and green public spaces does not automatically produce environmentally responsible citizens. This study examines how sustainable city marketing attributes shape Green Citizenship Behavior among users of urban green public spaces in Jakarta. Methods: A quantitative explanatory design was employed using survey data from 250 respondents who had used urban green public spaces in Jakarta within the last six months. The study examined the effects of Sustainable City Branding, Urban Green Space Quality, and Green City Identification on Green Citizenship Behavior, with Place Attachment positioned as a mediating variable. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling through SmartPLS 4. Findings: The results show that Sustainable City Branding, Urban Green Space Quality, and Green City Identification significantly influence Place Attachment. These three variables also have positive and significant direct effects on Green Citizenship Behavior. Place Attachment significantly influences Green Citizenship Behavior and mediates the relationships between Sustainable City Branding, Urban Green Space Quality, Green City Identification, and Green Citizenship Behavior. The strongest effect on Place Attachment is found in Sustainable City Branding, while Green City Identification emerges as the strongest direct predictor of Green Citizenship Behavior among the three sustainable city attributes. Conclusion: The findings indicate that Green Citizenship Behavior is not shaped by green infrastructure alone, but by the interaction between sustainability-oriented city image, green spatial experience, identity alignment, and emotional-functional attachment to place. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study contributes to sustainable marketing literature by reframing the city as a branded and experienced sustainability space and by extending the discussion from product-based green consumption to city-based green citizenship behavior.

Abstract

Background: The revitalization of the European Zone represents an effort by the Surabaya city government to improve the quality of the area without erasing its historical value and identity. Previous studies have generally assessed the success of revitalization based on either the physical condition of buildings or the activities within the area, treated separately, while the relationship between urban design elements and heritage character remains rarely discussed. This study aims to analyze the heritage character of the European Zone in Kota Lama Surabaya post-revitalization through eight urban design elements: land use, building form and massing, circulation and parking, open space, pedestrian ways, activity support, signage, and preservation. Methods: This study employs a descriptive qualitative method using field observation, documentation, and literature review. Findings: The results are then synthesized with four heritage character variables: physical urban form, spatial legibility, visual character, and heritage value. The findings indicate that the heritage character of the European Zone is formed through the interrelation of mutually reinforcing urban design elements that collectively shape the area's overall heritage character. Although the revitalization has successfully improved the physical quality of the area, the scope of intervention remains limited to a few main corridors, resulting in an uneven formation of the area's character. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that heritage character is determined not only by the presence of historic buildings but also by the relationships among elements that shape spatial structure, visual identity, area legibility, and historical value. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for the evaluation and future planning of heritage area revitalization. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study introduces an integrated framework linking urban design elements and heritage character to evaluate heritage-sensitive revitalization and cultural placemaking in public spaces.
