Abstract

The occurrence of building collapse and failure has become a major issue of concern in the development of this nation as the magnitudes of this incident are becoming very alarming and does not show any sign of abating. This paper examines contemporary issues in building collapse as a global environmental challenge and concerns for the developing world (Nigeria). Structural collapse occurs all over the world, but the rate of occurrence in Nigeria is more rampant and devastating in recent times. It remains a major challenge in developing countries, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. Structural collapse occurs all over the world, but the rate of occurrence in Nigeria is more rampant and devastating. Building collapse remains a major challenge in Nigeria and the causes can be traced to abnormal factors not obtainable in many other developing nations. Apart from the generally known causes of collapse such as design flaws, ageing, material fatigue, extreme operational and environmental conditions, accidents, terrorist attacks and natural hazards, the Nigerian factor becomes a prominent issue to contend with. Relevant books, seminar papers, workshop papers, articles, etc. were reviewed so as to examine the general view of individuals that have worked on similar study. Data for the study were obtained through historical data of past building collapse in Nigeria. Against this backdrop, this paper examines contemporary issues in building collapse and posits that stakeholders in the building development have great roles to play to reduce and avert this ugly trend. To this end, this study contextually explores the remote causes of building collapse in Nigeria. This literature discourse will go a long way in reducing the building collapse phenomenon. Some recommendations (remedial measures) were made as part of lasting solutions to tackle the challenges. The paper in conclusion makes a case for strategies that could serve as a way forward for ameliorating the trend.

Abstract

Population growth in Manado City has significantly increased housing demand, while the limited availability of flat land has pushed housing development toward hilly areas, including Malalayang District. This condition has given rise to a housing backlog that requires spatial analysis, given that hilly areas are vulnerable to hydrometeorological hazards, particularly landslides. This study aims to analyze the distribution of built-up land in sloped areas and to calculate the housing backlog in Malalayang District for the 2025–2035 period. A quantitative-spatial approach was applied using a Geographic Information System (GIS) to map slope classification, built-up land distribution, and backlog per kelurahan (sub-district), combined with a quantitative comparison between the number of households (KK) and existing housing units. The results show that safe-slope areas (<25%) cover 1,411.45 km², yet the highest backlog occurs in Batu Kota (+1,327 units) and Winangun Dua (+1,284 units), both located on moderately steep terrain (15–25%), while gently sloping kelurahan such as Bahu, Kleak, and Malalayang Satu show a surplus/safe condition but with high housing density. The study recommends directing new housing development toward safe land, strictly controlling construction on slopes >25%, and applying an adaptive settlement concept grounded in disaster mitigation.

Abstract

The Piere Tendean Street corridor in Manado City lies within a high-intensity coastal commercial area, yet its pedestrian streetscape quality does not yet provide adequate comfort. The scarcity of vegetation and dominance of hardscape have led to a decline in pedestrian activity, while coastal climate also influences the comfort of public space use according to time of day. This study aims to identify the phenomenon of temporal urbanism through the distribution of vegetation and activity centers in shaping the passive-active dynamics of human behavior along the corridor. The method used is a qualitative-explorative approach through temporal-behavioral mapping and visual documentation of vegetation at two observation periods, 11:00–13:00 and 16:00–19:00 WITA, to analyze the relationship between the corridor's physical conditions, temporal rhythm of space use, and users' behavioral adaptation. Results show that existing vegetation has not formed continuous functional shade, causing users to move directly toward shopping centers at midday without using transitional space. In the late afternoon, as building shadows lengthen and comfort increases, the corridor transforms into an active social space marked by gathering points, sports activities, and informal interaction. The overlay map confirms that pedestrian behavior is shaped by the temporal relationship between shade, coastal visual access, and spatial configuration, not commercial function alone. The study concludes that coastal corridor design requires a time-inclusive streetscape approach, with local vegetation and community interaction spaces as the basis for design recommendations.

Abstract

Urban parks provide ecological and social functions, but thermal comfort often becomes a limiting factor for their use in tropical climates. This study evaluates the ecological function, with a focus on microclimate regulation, and the social function of Taman Kesatuan Bangsa, Manado City. A descriptive quantitative approach was used, with field measurements in three zones (shaded, unshaded, and amphitheater) from 09:00 to 17:00. Thermal comfort was analyzed using the PMV and PPD indices, public space quality was assessed using the Public Space Index (PSI), and space use was examined through behavior mapping and a structured questionnaire distributed randomly to 50 visitors. The results show that all zones exceeded the comfort range. The mean PMV in the shaded area was 2.2 (PPD 65–94%), while the unshaded and amphitheater areas reached 3.0 (PPD 100%). The mean radiant temperature in the open area was 67.4 °C, far above that of the shaded area (37.6 °C), and the surface temperature of paving (53.7 °C) was higher than that of plants (31.1 °C). The overall PSI score was 3.42 (moderate), with meaning and identity of space as the highest dimension (4.10) and thermal and physical comfort as the lowest (2.15). About 48.1% of visitors came at midday and 62.9% stayed longer than one hour, with two-thirds of visitors aged over 45 years. The park is socially strong, but its ecological function is not yet optimal, so adding natural shade, vegetation, and cooler surface materials is needed to sustain its social function.

Abstract

Jalan Roda (Jarod) in Manado is a historic urban area characterized by strong architectural, social, economic, and collective memory values. Changes in building functions and development pressures may gradually diminish its historical character and cultural identity. This study aims to formulate an adaptive reuse strategy that integrates local wisdom, particularly the Sitou Timou Tumou Tou philosophy, to maintain the identity of the area while responding to contemporary community needs. The study employed a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach using architectural ethnography through observation, interviews, architectural documentation, spatial mapping, and literature review. The analysis was conducted thematically, architecturally, spatially, and interpretatively to identify the relationships between cultural values, spatial characteristics, community activities, memory elements, and local economic activities. The findings indicate that the Sitou Timou Tumou Tou philosophy can be translated into three design principles: Inclusive & Connected, Memory & Identity, and Local Empowerment. The Inclusive & Connected principle is implemented through improved accessibility, pedestrian connectivity, communal nodes, and inclusive public spaces; Memory & Identity through the conservation of authentic elements, rehabilitation of deteriorated elements, and contextual functional adaptation; while Local Empowerment is achieved through improving the quality, flexibility, and supporting facilities of business spaces without displacing local economic actors. These findings demonstrate that adaptive reuse in Jalan Roda is not merely a strategy for the reuse of buildings, but also an approach to sustaining the area's social life, historical identity, and local economy. The proposed strategy provides a basis for developing a historic urban area that is adaptive, inclusive, and rooted in local cultural values.

Abstract

This study develops a hybrid protocol to document the Bayan Timur traditional house compound in North Lombok, a living customary settlement where access to buildings is governed by adat. Conventional techniques (semi-structured interviews with customary leaders, freehand sketching, and manual measurement) were combined with digital techniques (high-resolution photography, smartphone-based LiDAR scanning, and 3D modelling) and were verified against a comparative survey of the adjacent Karangsalah compound. Three findings are reported. First, a coverage matrix shows which technique records which data category – dimensional, material, terminological, and philosophical – and where each technique fails. Second, the limits of digital documentation here are cultural as much as technical: sacred interiors and roof structures could not be scanned, and these gaps had to be closed through sketching, interviews, and comparison. Third, the study formulates a five-stage hybrid protocol – customary permission and community involvement, conventional recording, digital capture, cross-source verification, and hybrid dissemination – that is transferable to other customary settlements. The study positions architectural documentation not as a purely technical exercise but as a negotiated practice in which the custodian community determines what may be recorded and shared.
