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 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

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.

Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are facing a significant implementation gap, with global progress largely off track of targets projected to be achieved by 2030. Indonesia submitted its fourth Voluntary National Review (VNR) in 2025. This article critically examines the 2025 VNR as a governance instrument and assesses the challenges and opportunities shaping Indonesia’s SDG implementation toward 2030. The study employs qualitative content analysis of Indonesia’s 2025 VNR, complemented by a review of recent academic and policy literature (2020–2025). Breuer et al.’s (2023) four-dimensional framework of institutional integration—political leadership, horizontal integration, vertical integration, and community integration—provides the analytical lens for this study. The findings reveal a governance paradox. Indonesia has established a relatively advanced de jure SDG governance architecture through the mainstreaming of SDGs into national development planning, multi-level coordination mechanisms, integrated data systems, innovative financing approaches, and oversight by the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK), the first supreme audit institution globally to review a VNR. However, implementation remains constrained by de facto challenges, including regional fiscal disparities, inter-agency silos, risks of policy discontinuity during political transitions, and the limited accountability of voluntary reporting mechanisms. Moreover, the VNR’s claim that 61.4 per cent of national indicators are on track contrasts with Indonesia’s ranking of 77th out of 167 countries in the 2025 SDG Index, highlighting the soft-governance character of the VNR and the potential for self-assessment bias. The article argues that strengthening institutional integration across all four governance dimensions is essential for accelerating SDG implementation and bridging the gap between formal commitments and development outcomes.

Abstract

Abstrak  Traditional Balinese houses represent a form of the architectural heritage of the Indonesian archipelago, having evolved in accordance with the cultural, religious and philosophical values of Balinese society. The design of traditional Balinese dwellings is guided by the Asta Kosala Kosali, a system of rules governing spatial layout, orientation, dimensions and therelationships between buildings within a natah (compound). One of the key elements of this system is Sikut Satak, a traditional measurement method that uses human body dimensions as a reference for determining the size of spaces and buildings. This study aims to examine the application of the principles of Asta Kosala Kosali in the planning of traditional Balinese houses, particularly regarding the determination of plot area, building orientation, the placement of entrances, the spacing between buildings, and the layout of the compound’s landscape. The method employed was descriptive qualitative research through a literature review of various sources relating to traditional Balinese architecture. The findings indicate that the application of Asta Kosala Kosali serves not only as a technical guideline for house construction but also reflects a harmonious relationship between humans, the environment, and spiritual values. Body-based measurement systems, such as depa, hasta, kilan, musti, nyari, andatampak, result in building dimensions that are appropriate for the occupants. Furthermore, the division of space into the Utama Mandala, Madya Mandala and Nista Mandala reveals a spatial order that carries philosophical significance. Consequently, the Asta Kosala Kosali plays a vital role in preserving the identity of traditional Balinese architecture and must be safeguarded amidst the advance of modern development.

Abstract

As a Bali Aga village, Tenganan Pegringsingan Traditional Village possesses strong cultural tourism appeal, which requires the availability of adequate facilities, including parking areas. This study aims to inventory the physical conditions, functions, and hardscape and softscape elements of the parking areas, as well as their management mechanisms. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach using an exploratory method. Data collection techniques included field observations, documentation, interviews, and a literature review. Data collection through observations, documentation, and interviews was conducted during a single site visit on June 6, 2026. The results of the study indicate that the parking area covers approximately 3,895 m² and is equipped with supporting facilities, including a gazebo, restrooms, signage, sinks, drainage, sidewalks, planter boxes, and vehicle circulation areas. The vegetation found consists of various types of trees, shrubs, herbs, and ground cover, such as Golden Ketapang (Terminalia mantaly), Ketapang (Terminalia catappa), Casuarina (Casuarina equisetifolia), White Frangipani (Plumeria alba), Blushing Frangipani (Plumeria pudica), Tabebuia (Tabebuia sp.), Mengkudu (Morinda citrifolia), Srikaya (Annona squamosa), Aren (Arenga pinnata), Kelapa Gading (Cocos nucifera var. eburnea), Puring (Codiaeum variegatum), Pisang-pisangan (Heliconia rostata), Rumput Payung (Cyperus alternifolius), and Miana (Coleus scutellarioides). The parking area of the Tenganan Pegringsingan Traditional Village is a vital public facility, managed entirely by the Traditional Village with infrastructure support from the local government. The design of this area integrates modern elements with the Tri Hita Karana philosophy and awig-awig regulations to ensure environmental sustainability and adequate parking facilities for tourists.

Abstract

Abstract Traditional Balinese houses are a cultural heritage that reflects the philosophical, spiritual, social, and functional values of Balinese society through the application of the Asta Kosala Kosali guidelines in the design process. These guidelines regulate building layout, spatial orientation, an anthropometry-based measurement system namely, a system for determining spatial and building dimensions based on the human body as well as the relationships among buildings within a residential compound, thereby creating a dwelling that is harmonious with the cultural values and beliefs of Balinese society. However, with the rapid development of modern housing, the comprehensive application of Asta Kosala Kosali has become increasingly uncommon. Therefore, efforts are needed to document and demonstrate its implementation as a means of preserving local wisdom. This study aims to design a traditional Balinese house based on Asta Kosala Kosali for the Kasta Satria Wesia typology, specifically the Pengurip Lembu Agung category, with the occupant's profession designated as homeless person. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach using primary data obtained through anthropometric measurements of the occupant and secondary data collected from a literature review on Asta Kosala Kosali and the concepts of traditional Balinese architecture. The design process included determining the dimensions of the residential compound, organizing the spatial layout, positioning the buildings, establishing the number and dimensions of the saka, and arranging the vegetation according to the principles of traditional Balinese architecture. The design results demonstrate that the application of Asta Kosala Kosali produces a spatial arrangement consistent with the concepts of Tri Hita Karana, Tri Mandala, and Sanga Mandala, in which each building possesses functions, dimensions, orientations, and spatial relationships that correspond to the Pengurip Lembu Agung typology. This design confirms that Asta Kosala Kosali remains a relevant guideline for creating dwellings that are proportional, functional, and capable of preserving the cultural, spiritual, and architectural identity of traditional Balinese houses amid contemporary development.
