Abstract

The Krueng Daroy River corridor in Gampong Peuniti possessessignificant ecological, social, and cultural assets, yet its environmental quality has declined due to domestic wastewater pollution and weak integrated management. This study analyzes the potential application of sustainable neighbourhood principles using a qualitative approach through field observations and interviews, based on an analytical framework of urban ecology, water and waste management, community, economy, culture, and operational management. The findings identify key opportunities, including integration with the municipal wastewater system, revitalization of the river corridor as an ecological public space, strengthening culture-based creative economy, and establishing collaborative area governance. These results underline the importance of a systematic sustainability framework in riverfront neighbourhood planning

Abstract

Pesantren Darul Muta’allimin is the oldest Islamic boarding school in Aceh Singkil and is currently facing various challenges in its daily operations. These challenges include limited capacity, functional transformation of buildings, physical degradation and the use of less sustainable materials, as well as spatial arrangements that are not responsive to the functional needs of the pesantren. Such conditions affect not only the effectiveness of the educational activities but also the comfort and spatial experience of its users. This study aims to examine the need for redesigning the pesantren through a contextual approach that places functional, environmental, and local cultural aspects as the foundation of the design process. The research adopts an architectural design–based approach with a qualitative-descriptive method, employing direct observation, visual documentation, and spatial analysis of the existing conditions.The findings indicate that the main issues of the pesantren are not merely physical in nature but are also related to spatial pattern, building orientation, lack of integration between buildings, outdoor environment and local character. Based on these findings, the study formulates contextual conceptual principles for the redesign of the pesantren, serving as a basis for the development of spatial layout, building massing, and outdoor spaces. These findings are expected to contribute as a reference for the development and revitalization of traditional pesantren in rural areas with similar socio-cultural characteristics.

Abstract

Toboali Fort is one of the important historical relics in South Bangka that is closely related to the power of the Palembang Darussalam Sultanate. The existence of this fort not only reflects the regional defense system, but also represents the social, political, and cultural values of Islam that developed in the archipelago. This study aims to analyze the historical background of the construction of Toboali Fort and identify the Islamic architectural values reflected in the form, structure, layout, and function of the building. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive-analytical methods. Data was obtained through direct observation at the research site, in-depth interviews with community leaders, cultural figures, and local history observers,as well as a literature study of relevant scientific journals and historical sources. The results of the study show that Toboali Fort was built as part of the defense and control strategy of the Palembang Darussalam Sultanate in South Bangka, which had a strategic position in trade and maritime routes. From an Islamic architectural perspective, values such as simplicity, order, functional balance, public welfare, and social orientation are more prominent than visual religious symbols. Thus, Toboali Fortress can be understood as a form of contextual Islamic architecture in the archipelago, where Islamic values are internalized in the function and layout of the building. This study is expected to contribute to strengthening thestudy of local Islamic history

Abstract

The housing destruction caused by the 2004 Aceh earthquake and tsunami led to the large-scale construction of transitional shelters intended for short-term use prior to permanent resettlement. Although these shelters were designed with a lifespan of only two to three years, a significant number remain standing two decades later. This study re-examines the long-term condition, transformation, and reuse potential of transitional shelters in Aceh, addressing a gap in post-disaster housing research that rarely extends beyond the emergency phase. Using a qualitative case study approach based on field observations, document analysis, and literature review, the research finds that while the original shelter design showed limitations in thermal comfort, ventilation,and cultural suitability, its modular structure enabled various formsof informal adaptation. Many abandoned or vacated units have been repurposed by local communities into economic, social, and educational spaces, whereas others were sold or left neglected due to the absence of planned reuse strategies. The findings demonstrate that transitional shelters should not be regarded as disposable post-disaster artifacts, but as adaptive architectural assets with long-term social and economic value. Integrating adaptive reuse and lifecycle planning into shelter design is therefore essential for sustainable post-disaster mitigation.

Abstract

This study evaluates the function and effectiveness of pedestrian paths in the city center, focusing on their role in enhancing mobility, safety, and urban liveability. As cities shift towards sustainability, pedestrian paths are integral to improving walkability and accessibility. Using a mixed-methods approach, this research combines observation, questionnaires, and interviews to examine pedestrian path usage and user experiences in Banda Aceh’s city center business district. Observations revealed that the pedestrian path is used by pedestrians and shopkeepers, who display their goods on the walkway, thereby limiting pedestrian space and movement. Additionally, the study found that accessibility is compromised due to disorganized parking, which further obstructs the path. These findings highlight challenges in the current design and management of pedestrian paths, suggesting a need for improved infrastructure and regulation to enhance safety, convenience, and the overall pedestrian experience. This researchoffers urban planners and policymakersinsights into creatingmore effective, inclusive, and sustainable pedestrian-friendly environments in future city developments

Abstract

Architecture is bothart and science related to the design and construction of buildings and spaces to meet human needs. In a cultural context, architecturenot merelyreflects practical functions but also the aesthetic, social, and spiritual values upheld by society. Each building carries a story and deep meaning, which can be seen in its design, materials, and construction techniques.The Indrapuri old mosque, as an example of architecture rich in historical and cultural value, shows how architecture can reflect the historical journey of a region. Located in Indrapuri Subdistrict, Aceh Besar Regency, this mosque was built in the 17th century on the foundation of a Hindu temple, reflecting the fusionof Islamic and Hindu cultures that once existed in the area. The presence of Masjid Tuha Indrapuri serves not only as a place of worship but also as a symbol of the identity and cultural heritage of the Acehnese people. Over time, this mosque has become acenter for religious and social activities for the local community. Research and surveys on Masjid Tuha Indrapuri are essential to uncover information about its architecture, social function, and the conservation efforts made by both the community and the government.Theaccurate and relevant data obtainedfrom this conducted research cansupport the understanding of the importance of this mosque as both a cultural heritage and a place of worshipto contribute in the preservation realm and tourism in Aceh.

Abstract

Energy conservation remains a challenging practice to implement in office. Several factors hinder energy-saving behaviors in the office, including physical factors such as the numerous electronic devices that heavily rely on electricity, the need for lighting to illuminate workspaces, thermal comfort dependent on air conditioning, and security as well assafety measures often supported by the use of 24-hour surveillance cameras. Additionally, habitual or ingrained behaviors also pose barriers to energy conservation efforts. This study aims to explore employees' perceptions of the importance of energy conservation in the office. The perceptions and underlying reasons for these perceptions are then examined and linked to the values assumed to form the basis of these views. This research employs a qualitative approach, with data collected through open-ended online questionnaires. The analysis reveals four categories of individual perceptions toward energy conservation: Action-Based Energy Saver, Energy-conscious, Unattached, and Wasteful Energy Consumer.

Abstract

The PeulanggahanMosque in Banda Aceh serves as a historical landmark showcasing the architectural interplay between traditional Acehnese styles and modern construction techniques. This paper investigates the spatial evolution, functional transformation, and material adaptation of the mosque through qualitative analysis. Findings highlight the mosque’s pivotal role in preserving Islamic cultural heritage while adapting to contemporary needs. The research analyzes three primary aspects: (1) patterns of spatial expansion, (2) changes in functionality over time, and (3) reconciliation of traditional and modern architectural elements. The mosque’s adaptations following the 2004 tsunami exemplify its resilience and the community’s commitment to maintaining its cultural and religious significance. By combining traditional materials such as wood and ijuk with modern materials like concrete and glass, the mosque maintains its historical identity while addressing current requirements. Additionally, the mosque continues to function asa hub for both religious practices and socio-cultural activities, reflecting its enduring relevance to the local community. The study underscores the importance of preserving historical architecture in evolving urban contexts and provides insights for similar projects aimed at integrating heritage conservation with modern development

Abstract

Fire is a disaster that can occur in various places and times, either due to negligence, natural factors, or uncontrollable technical errors. This can certainly endanger and harm various parties. In an effort to reduce the impact of fire, the Government has issued regulations governing fire protection systems in buildings, according to the type and classification of buildings. This regulation is stated in the Regulation of the Minister of Public Works No. 26/PRT/M/2008 of 2008 concerning Technical Requirements for Fire Protection Systems in Buildings and the Environment.This research was conducted at the junior high-high school education building of Teuku Nyak Arif Fatih Bilingual School, which is one of the Cambridge international class private schools in Banda Aceh, using a semi-quantitative research method. Observations were conducted at the research location to identify the existing condition of the fire protection system and assess the level of safety in the junior high-high school education building of Teuku Nyak Arif Fatih Bilingual School based on applicable requirements and regulations. The results of the study showed that the fire protection system in the educational facility building of SMP-SMA Teuku Nyak Arif Fatih Bilingual School obtained an average score of 2.2 out of 3, indicating that most of the requirements in the Regulation of the Minister of Public Works No. 26/PRT/2008 of 2008 have been met. With the implementation of a fire protection system that is included in the appropriate category, the building safety level is at 87.65%.
