Abstract

Waste management is a pressing issue in urban areas, including Denpasar City, which produces over 1,000 tons of waste daily. Limited infrastructure, low public participation, and weak institutional coordination have created inefficiencies in the current system. This policy paper proposes strategies to strengthen waste management institutions at the sub-district level to improve service effectiveness. Through secondary data analysis, regulatory review, and assessment of policy alternatives, the study finds that the absence of Waste Management Technical Implementation Units (UPTD) in sub-districts significantly hinders service delivery and community involvement. Of four policy options considered, establishing UPTDs simultaneously in all sub-districts is identified as the most effective and sustainable. This approach is expected to improve operational responsiveness, encourage local innovation, and support national waste management goals. Strengthening territorial-level institutions is therefore essential to developing a decentralized and sustainable waste management system in Denpasar City.

Abstract

This article explores how Eastern and Western architectural practices can collaborate to create sustainable housing solutions, addressing the challenges posed by globalisation while promoting a balance between cultural values and ecological needs. Through the analysis of case studies from Estonia, Bali and West Africa, the paper examines how local knowledge can be integrated with modern technologies. The focus is on the use of local materials, climate responsive design, and energy efficiency throughout the whole process. The findings suggest that combining traditional architectural practices with global knowledge offers a pathway to sustainable housing that respects cultural identity and addresses ecological challenges. The study highlights how cross-cultural collaboration can foster innovative, sustainable architecture that meets both global and local needs.

Abstract

This paper addresses the decline of traditional courtyard architecture in modern urban contexts, which has led to a disconnect between architectural design, environmental sustainability, and social cohesion. The study employs a comparative analysis  of traditional  and modern courtyard homes, focusing on their design principles, climatic adaptations, cultural significance, and technological advancements. Case studies from regions like Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu are examined to understand how traditional designs addressed climatic challenges and social needs. Traditional courtyards excelled in passive climate control, natural ventilation, and fostering community interaction. Modern interpretations integrate advanced materials and technologies, such as vertical gardens and solar systems, adapting these spaces for urban living while retaining core benefits. However, modern designs often prioritize privacy over communal aspects, reflecting evolving lifestyles. Courtyard architecture offers timeless solutions for sustainable living by balancing cultural values, environmental adaptation, and human well-being. Integrating traditional principles with modern innovations can bridge the gap between heritage and contemporary needs. The findings emphasize the potential of reimagined courtyard designs to address urban challenges like energy efficiency, social isolation, and environmental sustainability. This approach offers a framework for architects to create resilient, human-centric urban spaces that honor cultural heritage while addressing modern demands

Abstract

Comfort has been a cornerstone of architectural design, shaping how spaces influence human well-being physically, emotionally, and socially. This paper examines comfort as a dynamic and multidimensional concept, exploring its variations across different climates and the challenges associated with its excessive pursuit, such as isolation, stagnation, and environmental strain. The transformative role of discomfort is highlighted as a means to foster resilience, creativity, and connection. Furthermore, the paper discusses architectural strategies that balance comfort with sustainability, using case studies from tropical, temperate, and arid regions to provide actionable insights for reimagining comfort in the built environment.

Abstract

The dichotomy of study in STEM (science technology engineering and mathematics) and the humanities has been a popular issue in academic research. This paper tries to see whether that the dichotomy is significant or not. Utilizing a public open space as one of the common subjects of study in landscape architecture. The public open space is analyzed within a positivistic domain and in the cultural studies paradigm. The purpose is to exercise an approach of analyzing a same set of data and present a continuous discussion on the subject of interest, which is alun-alun (town square). Data from two town squares in Bogor City, which are Alun-alun Empang and Alun-alun Kota Bogor, were collected according to common practice in landscape architecture field of study. The discussion uses descriptive analysis and critical social analysis techniques. The result shows that descriptive analysis works well for biophysical aspect while the critical social analysis makes the social aspect give a deeper understanding on intangible area.
