Abstract

Exploring the concept of "genius loci," which refers to the spirit or essence of a place shaped by human interactions and the surrounding environment, this study focuses on the historical district of Kotagede in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It examines how the unique architectural and cultural characteristics of two alleys, Gang Rukunan RW 07 Purbayan and Gang Rukunan RW 09 Purbayan, contribute to their distinct identities. Gang Rukunan RW 09, also known as Between Two Gates, is particularly renowned for its well-preserved traditional Javanese architecture and communal spaces. Using a phenomenological qualitative research method, including observations and interviews, the research identifies three key aspects of genius loci: image, space, and character. The findings reveal that while Gang Rukunan RW 09 is celebrated for its traditional architecture, Gang Rukunan RW 07, despite undergoing modern transformations, retains significant elements of its cultural identity through active social interactions among residents. The study highlights the challenges posed by modernization, which often threatens the preservation of traditional values and architectural integrity. Ultimately, the paper underscores the importance of understanding and maintaining the genius loci of historical areas to foster community identity and cultural heritage amid the pressures of urban development.

Abstract

Boarding houses are one of the most common types of accommodation used by university students, especially in urban cities. Student boarding house or Indekos represents a typical environment for students to balance their academic, personal, and social lives. Indekos function not only as places for resting and living but also as multifunctional spaces for studying, socializing, and performing daily routines. The current understanding of how students use time within these spaces remains limited, particularly in relation to their spatial behaviors, which leads to routine activites. The focus of this research is to identify the types of activities and duration performed by students in the boarding house or indekos using William Michelson's Time-Budget theory. Using mixed-methods approach, this study collected data through an open-ended questionnaire for the exploration of activity variables, which were then analyzed quantitatively using Factor Analysis (FA). From the results of preliminary exploration, it was found that students exhibit different activity patterns between weekdays and weekends. While the results of the latter analysis show that indekos serves dual roles: as efficient transitional spaces during weekdays and as flexible, restorative spaces on weekends. This study provides insights for the design of student boarding house or indekos that is more adaptive and compatible with their daily living patterns.

Abstract

Globalization poses a risk of homogenizing urban architectural identities, threatening cities with eclectic heritage such as Pangkalpinang, which reflects the acculturation of Malay, Chinese, and Colonial cultures. This study aims to identify the physical elements that shape the city image through a cognitive mapping method validated quantitatively. Using a sequential exploratory mixed-method design, the research begins with a qualitative stage involving participatory mapping to identify urban elements based on Kevin Lynch’s theory (path, edge, district, node, landmark). This stage is followed by a quantitative interactive survey using GeoGuessr involving 50 respondents to measure the accuracy of spatial perception. The findings indicate that landmarks and nodes have the highest levels of spatial recognition, serving as key cognitive anchors for the community. In contrast, paths and edges show more fragmented perceptions and lower accuracy levels. This research contributes a new, more objective methodology for interpreting the city image and provides empirical data applicable to the development of urban design guidelines and heritage preservation strategies based on collective perception.

Abstract

Subjectivity in assessing the aesthetics of a composition in architecture and interior design industry and even education is commonplace today. A less objective assessment can blurry a person's ability of designing building’s aesthetic. In fact, there were quantitative rules for judging the beauty of building appearance in Classical Architecture era. Therefore, the aim of this study is getting quantitative measurement for composition’s aesthetics of building. To achieve that, qualitative research method is used with grounded theory approach. The result shows that aesthetic value can be calculated using a quantitative formula. Despite the formula founded by this study has several weaknesses, this formula was generated from and modestly tested using the questionnaires distributed to various categories of respondents, from public to those who involved in architecture and design education and industry, showing quite high suitability and reliability.

Abstract

Mosques, as central religious architecture in Islam, serve a dual function: as places of worship and centres for community social activities. The evolving nature and diversity of mosque architectural typologies, both in Indonesia and globally, underscore the urgent need for establishing systematic design principles. This research compiles a set of mosque design principles based on relevant interpretations from the Hadith of Bukhari and Muslim. These principles can be applied as prescriptive guidelines for designing new mosques and as an evaluative framework for analysing existing structures. This framework is then integrated with survey findings from the case studies. The case studies focus on three historical mosques in Palembang, South Sumatra: Masjid Ki Marogan (established 1890), Masjid Lawang Kidul (established 1890), and Masjid Suro (established 1889). The selection of these sites is based on their significance as representations of the richness and heritage identity of sustained local Islamic architecture in Palembang. The research methodology employed is a comprehensive field survey, involving the identification and analysis of architectural elements (physical form, spatial layout, and functional activities) against the formulated design principles. The research findings will identify the degree of conformity between the actual conditions of these mosques and the proposed principles. The practical implications of these findings are expected to provide substantive recommendations for mosque management in planning and construction, ensuring that the buildings not only meet functional and religious aspects but also preserve their historical value and strengthen the inherent heritage identity of these three mosques.

Abstract

The development of modern cities over the past few decades tends to overlook the spiritual and symbolic dimensions in urban space design, including in Yogyakarta, which is rich in cultural heritage and spatial philosophy. Rapid urbanization and commercial development have the potential to shift the function of sacred spaces into business and tourism areas, threatening the preservation of spiritual values that form the city’s cultural identity. This study aims to investigate how traditional spiritual values and symbolism persist and transform within the dynamics of contemporary urban spaces in Yogyakarta, as well as to provide recommendations for integrating cultural and spiritual values into future urban planning. An exploratory qualitative approach was employed, focusing on symbolic areas such as the Keraton, Alun-Alun, Tugu Jogja, Malioboro, and Taman Sari. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with cultural experts, architects, and community leaders, as well as visual documentation. The analysis utilized semiotic and spatial methods to map the relationships between symbols, space, and spiritual meanings. The results indicate that Yogyakarta’s landscape structure still preserves strong spiritual values, such as the philosophical axis of Merapi–Keraton–Parangtritis and sacred buildings serving as centers for ritual and social activities. However, urbanization and modernization have led to a shift in spatial functions toward economic orientation, eroding the meanings and community connections with their cultural heritage. The recommendations emphasize the necessity of integrating cultural and spiritual values into spatial planning policies through the preservation of symbolic structures and the adaptation of local design principles. Additionally, strengthening community and indigenous stakeholder participation is crucial to ensure the continued transmission of spiritual values. This approach is expected to foster the development of cities that are not only functional but also socially and spiritually meaningful.

Abstract

The existence of the Village is closely related to the morphology, history, and philosophy of the city of Yogyakarta and is related to the socio-spatial life and its people. Kampung Suronatan experiences intersections of activities that have an impact on the formation of spontaneous spaces along its transitional space. Physical changes in the transitional space and the phenomenon of utilization and territorial claims. This research question refers to how the place process occurs in Kampung Suronatan, as a space with territorial ambivalence. This research was conducted qualitatively, focusing on spatiality and its behavior as a space former. Data were obtained through snapshot observations and short questions which were then analyzed using a behavioral approach. ArcGIS was used to map the location of spontaneous spaces formed in the transitional space. Place process in the transitional space in Suronatan is influenced by spatial tolerance and spatial conceptions influenced by local norms related to spatial territoriality. Place process is defined as a process of spatialization that is spontaneous and temporal. Enriching the theory of place process that has not been linked to territoriality.

Abstract

Feeder Train Services serve as a strategic solution in strengthening connectivity between KCJB main stations and urban areas such as Bandung and Cimahi. This study aims to analyze the evaluation methods or conditions of universal design-based interior wayfinding elements applied at Jakarta-Bandung Fast Train (KCJB) feeder stations. This study uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach with a descriptive qualitative design to identify universal design-based interior wayfinding elements at feeder stations by analyzing academic articles and grey literature from the Scopus and Google Scholar databases between 2021 and 2025. This study describes the regulations and standardization of interior wayfinding components at train stations by reviewing visual, technical, and spatial elements. The results of the literature review show that the evaluation of wayfinding implementation can be done through direct observation and questionnaires for users. This wayfinding evaluation needs to be applied, especially on feeder trains, which will effectively improve user movement efficiency, safety, and overall travel experience, as well as strengthen the integration of public transportation services in metropolitan areas. Furthermore, the literature review also emphasizes that the integration of conceptual evaluation and technical standards in wayfinding is crucial to improve user orientation, accessibility, and travel efficiency, thereby supporting safety and multimodal connectivity at KCJB feeder stations.

Abstract

This paper explores limited spatial conditions and access to water influence domestic arrangements in low-income urban kampong houses. It investigates water related needs to drive creative spatial strategies, including the appropriation of front house areas, shared courtyards, and semi public spaces that associate domestic service areas with the rear sections of dwellings. Water resources play a fundamental role in shaping domestic life and spatial practices in urban kampong environments. In Kampong Sekayu, Semarang, water is not only a vital element for everyday domestic service activities such as cooking, washing, and bathing but also a core determinant in the spatial organization of dwellings. The study also considers the impact of communal water use and neighborhood social structures on household spatial adaptations. By exploring how space is organized through the perspective of water-dependent household activities, this study highlights the unique spatial and social characteristics of urban kampong life, where water becomes a major organizing force in the everyday household landscape.

Abstract

Individual perceptions of urban space are shaped by physical adaptations associated with their region of origin. These psychogeographic factors influence how the body adjusts to environmental changes, including the mechanism of homeostasis (the body’s ability to maintain internal balance), which results in different standards of thermal comfort among individuals. In the thermal context, homeostasis serves as a strong trigger for thermal alliesthesia, a condition in which sensations of comfort or discomfort arise in response to temperature changes relative to the body’s prior state. This study adopts an exploratory approach aimed at assessing the potential detection of such processes in a virtual setting with minimal exposure, using video-based observations of urban environments. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to examine multivariate relationships between mood states, regional background, and perceptions of physical elements (brightness, shading), as well as their impact on route comfort. The findings indicate that homeostatic processes can still be detected in virtual settings and are positively influenced by psychogeographic background, thereby opening opportunities for applications in spatial design, further research, and place branding, even without direct on-site involvement.
