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

Culture became important consideration in housesing design. House form is the consequence of a whole range of socio-cultural factor, not simply physical factor. Housing is more than a place to live, however also preserving certain values. The aim of this research is to reveal the significant relation of housing transformation and communal culture value. This study applies the case study approach through a qualitative analysis of the housing transformation phenomenon. Housing transformation is a process of adjusting space to fulfill certain functions based on the needs of the users, that fit with the culture value expression of the inhabitants. This resarch formulated four significant factor determine housing transformation factor in kampung, that are economic condition, housing condition, occupant condition and kampung improvement. House transformation was related to the communal cultural values ​​since the construction process to utilization. The mutual understanding on make the process of housing transformation can be carried out without causing conflicts over the use of space in kampung. House construction is also carried out with the support of neighbors since the exsistance of togetherness and gotong royong. In terms of creating better image of the kampung, solidarity velue was important to encorage the community working together improving kampung and their house. The mutual cooperation, community understanding, togetherness and solidarity were important in maintaining the commitment and social value among the inhabitants to live and grow together. Kampung is a model of settlement where the communal values are important in sustaining the harmony of urban living.

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

Abstract

House, form and culture are widely discussed in vernacular architecture, especially in the inland settlement. Indonesia archipelagos have many coastal vernacular settlements and domestic architecture along the island’s coastline. To enrich Indonesia vernacular architecture, exploring fishermen costal settlement is necessary. The characteristic to that of fishermen’s settlement along the coastal area is different to that of Madura inland sedentary agriculture settlement in terms of its architectural form and cultural expression. This research aims to reveal the relation of form and culture of fishermen settlements by conducting descriptive qualitative study. The data collection consists of field observations, sketches and photographs, in-depth interviews and survey questionnaire. The data is analyzed and assessed with the theory of house, form and culture. The result of the study showed that there are several cultural values of inland settlement expressed in the architectural forms in fishermen’s housing of Madura's coastal area.

Abstract

This study was performed to investigate the compression properties and behavior of bio-based composite materials produced with sunflower stem aggregates and gypsum plaster as the building material. The experimental cubical specimens were produced with a dry density range of 218 kg/m3 to 254 kg/m3, a binder/aggregates ratio of 2.4 : 1, and a dimension of 100 mm x 100 mm x 100 mm using untreated sunflower stem particles as bio-aggregates. The compression tests were conducted using an electromechanical universal testing machine at two different loading rates and direction tests for the manufacturing samples. The engineering results indicated that the compressive strength and modulus of elasticity of sunflower-gypsum plaster materials depend on the loading rate and direction test of the specimens. The compressive strength of the materials increased with increasing loading rates. In addition, the highest Young’s modulus is in the conducting test’s samples at 10 mm/min of loading rate and in the parallel direction test.

Abstract

Population growth in Indonesia is still relatively high compared to Sub-Urban (rural) areas at around 96% per year. Based on the 2015-2045 population projections from the 2015 Inter-Census Survey (Supas), Indonesia's population would reach 269.6 million people in 2020. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) had a death rate (mortality) of 1.6 million people in 2019 and will continue to increase by 2045 by 3.2 million people. Tombs/graves are included in the City Green Open Space (GOS) category. As of 2016, Indonesia had 249.2 hectares of green open space, which included parks, farms, and tombs/graves. Considering the anticipated high death rate, it required a considerable area of tombs/graves. A minimum of 20 hectares of land had to be set aside for tombs/graves in Medan City, one of the cities in Indonesia. The city administration is currently attempting to add graves in marsh areas, water bodies, former rice fields, and other locations in collaboration with the Parks Service. Such land conditions, however, are not yet ready-to-use land. Also, the site is situated on the city's outskirts. The cemetery in the center of Medan is where locals are used to interring their relatives. Considering the lack of urban land designated as tombs/graves, the solution is to create multilevel tombs/graves (Multi-Storied Cemeteries). Multilevel graves, specifically grave that, depending on the shape of the burrow, can hold 4-6 bodies in one hole, the height of the groundwater from the location of the graves, and especially the height of the groundwater level, which must be measured using a Web-based Pantir (Water Monitoring) tool Mobile. To count the number of graves in a cemetery, it is necessary to measure the height of the groundwater level. By creating a multi-storied cemetery, the number of tombs in each cemetery in the city area could be decreased.

Abstract

This study analyzes the potential of the EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) application as an evidence-based design and policy instrument to support the green campus transformation of Indonesia’s Islamic Higher Education Institutions (PTKIN), particularly in anticipation of the future development of the Integrated Campus of UIN Sunan Kalijaga. A qualitative exploratory approach with a simulation-based case study was applied to the Faculty of Islamic Economics and Business (FEBI) Building at UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta. Technical building specifications were examined to evaluate existing energy performance and to test design optimization scenarios. The simulation results indicate that the FEBI Building already meets the EDGE energy performance standard, achieving an energy efficiency of 32.42%, while still presenting opportunities for improvement through the integration of passive and active design strategies. Design optimization measures—comprising refined building orientation strategies, controlled fenestration, enhanced façade performance, photovoltaic system integration, and occupancy-based sensor implementation—were shown to increase the building’s energy-efficiency potential to 53.42%. These findings provide the basis for developing an EDGE-based sustainable building design guideline, which can serve as a strategic reference for campus development at UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta toward a lower-carbon transformation of PTKIN institutions.

Abstract

Daylighting plays a critical role in classroom design due to its impact on visual comfort, occupants’ health, and building energy efficiency. In mid-rise buildings located in tropical climates, increasing window area is often implemented without adequate consideration of surrounding environmental conditions, which may result in excessive illuminance and visual discomfort. This study aims to analyze the daylighting performance of mid-rise classroom buildings in relation to window-to-wall ratio (WWR) variations and external obstruction conditions. The study employed daylight simulation using Velux Daylight Visualizer with three WWR configurations: 25%, 37%, and 50%. Simulations were conducted at 09:00, 12:00, and 15:00 in December to represent tropical daylight conditions. The analysis focused on average illuminance values measured on a working plane at a height of 0.75 m above the floor, under both unobstructed and externally obstructed conditions. The simulation results indicate that increasing WWR significantly raises indoor illuminance levels. Under unobstructed conditions, WWRs of 37% and 50% produced high average daily illuminance values of 2,079.9 lux and 2,582.6 lux, respectively, indicating a potential risk of overlighting. In contrast, under external obstruction conditions, average illuminance values across all WWR variations ranged from 752.8 to 842.9 lux and exhibited more stable daylight distribution. This study concludes that a WWR of 37% provides the most balanced daylighting performance by ensuring sufficient natural light while minimizing the risk of visual discomfort, particularly in mid-rise classroom buildings within dense tropical urban environments. The findings offer practical insights for designing classroom openings by integrating window proportion and external environmental context.
