The journal emphasizes several key areas of focus, including architectural design issues, housing and urban design, vernacular architecture and heritage, architectural science and technology, interdisciplinary architecture, and various local architectural discourses. Serving as a vital forum for the study of architecture in developing countries, EMARA promotes concentrated investigations of specific themes as well as interdisciplinary approaches to architectural studies. It facilitates the exchange of ideas and research findings from different academic traditions, fostering a scholarly dialogue that bridges cultural and intellectual boundaries.

Abstract

Pedestrian facilities are components of urban and tourism infrastructure to ensure access, safety, and comfort for users. On the pedestrian path along Jalan Danau Tamblingan, Sanur—a tourism corridor major route—issues have undermined the user experience. This study aims to investigate the level of pedestrian comfort and service quality within the area. The methodology employed was mixed-methods, combining qualitative observation and interviews to assess environmental and spatial conditions with quantitative analysis of pedestrian density, walking speed, and pedestrian flow through Level of Service (LOS) measurements. The results reveal a paradox: while the pedestrian path was given an LOS A rating, indicating free flow and low conflict, the comfort assessment rate was only 2 out of 8 satisfied criteria. One of the core deficiencies was circulation clarity, cleanliness, aesthetics, and odor control, although climate and safety demands were adequately met. The analogy here is to highlight pedestrian quality cannot be assessed by traffic efficiency but must also cater to environmental and experiential ones. The study concludes Jalan Danau Tamblingan allows for pedestrian efficiency but does not contribute to a pleasant walking environment for its residents and visitors. Closing these gaps requires in-depth design, upkeep, and administration improvements to enhance both functional and experience qualities. These are significant not only in local tourism mobility but also in creating urban livability and economic resilience in Sanur

Abstract

Rapid urbanization, often accompanied by unplanned changes that undermine ecological balance and social cohesion, has led to an increased emphasis on the development of sustainable cities. Station Street in Isparta, which was established in 1936 with the construction of the Station Building, is an example of how zoning regulations, modernization, and changing housing typologies have challenged both the urban landscape and human activity. It was an effort to study the morphological, social and cultural changes in Station Street from a sustainability perspective. A qualitative approach was taken, based on archival research of zoning laws and development plans, field observations, spatial analyses, and oral history interviews with residents who had lived in the area for many years. Evidence from the study showed that there was a distinct transition from individual detached garden houses to bulky reinforced concrete apartments and ultimately to dense multi-storey blocks, supported by 1967 (seven year plan) for zoning and condominium law. Despite the expansion of housing and the introduction of mixed-use functions, these modifications also led to the disappearance of green spaces, the division of neighborhoods, and ultimately the erosion of the street's significance as a cultural and economic center. Additionally, Morphological change was associated with social and cultural loss, which was highlighted in oral histories as the decline of neighborhood practices and identity. Based on the three-pillar sustainability model, the study concludes that Station Street's path was aimed at modernization but not ecological or social resilience
