Abstract

Urban pluvial flooding frequently occurs in semi-urban tropical environments where intense rainfall exceeds local infiltration and drainage capacity. This study presents an integrated infiltration runoff drainage assessment at the campus scale to evaluate surface water inundation risk at Politeknik Negeri Semarang, Indonesia. Soil physical and hydraulic properties were characterized through laboratory testing, and infiltration behavior was simulated using the physically based Green–Ampt model under 2, 5, 10, and 20-year return period rainfall. Runoff was estimated using the Rational Method based on rainfall intensity corresponding to the time of concentration, while drainage storage capacity was quantified through field-based geometric measurements. The results indicate that the site is dominated by fine-grained soils (OH/MH; A-7-5) with very low saturated hydraulic conductivity (4.209 × 10⁻⁶ mm/s), limiting infiltration effectiveness to the early stage of rainfall. Infiltration rates rapidly decline toward saturated conductivity values, causing increasing rainfall increments to be converted directly into surface runoff. Estimated runoff volumes increase from 341.308 m³ (2-year) to 527.498 m³ (20-year return period). Although total drainage storage capacity (1270.38 m³) exceeds runoff volume, the storage margin decreases significantly under higher return periods, indicating increasing susceptibility to drainage surcharge. The integrated framework provides a process-based explanation of pluvial flooding driven by limited infiltration and drainage capacity utilization in tropical campus environments.

Abstract

Landmark buildings often serve as the most powerful visual representations of a city. However, the ways in which the visual qualities of architecture operate in shaping city branding remain insufficiently examined. Recent scholarship increasingly highlights the importance of architecture in constructing urban identity. Nevertheless, specific investigations into the aesthetic criteria of iconic buildings—particularly colour, ornament, and form—as factors that influence visitors’ perceptions and place memory are still relatively limited. This study addresses this gap by proposing an analytical framework that connects architectural aesthetics to the core dimensions of city branding. Using a qualitative digital etnographic approach, this research develops an Aesthetic–Branding Analysis Framework to map particular visual attributes to branding outcomes, including identity, representation, and experiential quality within the digital dimension. The findings indicate that aesthetic elements are not merely decorative features, but actively communicate meaning and shape visitors’ expectations of a place. Building on these results, the study proposes a Conceptual Model of Aesthetic-Based Branding Formation, illustrating how architectural visuals interact with collective perceptions and urban narratives through ongoing reciprocal processes, ultimately producing shared meanings over time. Theoretically, this study reinforces the argument that aesthetic decisions—often treated as secondary or supportive aspects—can function as key drivers in forming urban character and reputation. Practically, the findings encourage more strategic investment in iconic architecture as a tool for city brand communication, strengthen the rationale for heritage preservation beyond cultural considerations alone, and support the systematic integration of aesthetic factors as essential components of urban planning and development.

Abstract

Construction work on bypass tunnels involves work in confined spaces that pose high-risk hazards, such as toxic gases, noise, electrical hazards, and limited mobility; therefore, the implementation of a Construction Safety Management System (CSMS) is essential to minimize the risk of workplace accidents. Previous research on CMS implementation has primarily focused on open-space construction projects, while studies on confined-space construction—particularly bypass tunnels—remain limited. Additionally, several safety compliance issues were identified during the Jragung Dam project. This study aims to analyze CMS implementation, identify barriers to its adoption, and propose corrective measures in accordance with applicable regulations. The research method used is quantitative with a descriptive approach. Data were obtained through questionnaires, observations, and interviews at the Jragung Dam bypass tunnel construction project in Semarang Regency. The results of the study indicate that seven out of nine components of SMKK implementation fall into the “good” and “effective” categories, while the remaining two components fall into the “fairly good” category. The highest percentage was found in traffic signs and accessories as well as consultation with construction experts at 88%, while the lowest percentage was found in construction safety risk control activities at 75%. This study suggests that the implementation of SMKK in confined spaces needs to be carried out more effectively and in accordance with regulations so that the risk of workplace accidents can be minimized and worker safety better ensured.

Abstract

Urbanization has continued to grow from year to year, leading to one of its major impacts—the rising population in urban areas. This population increase is directly proportional to the growing demand for housing, which in turn drives up property prices. Therefore, government support in the form of subsidized housing for low-income communities (MBR) becomes essential. However, subsidized housing is often criticized by the public for its unsatisfactory quality. Moreover, the development of such housing is feared to exacerbate the ongoing issue of global warming, as it has the potential to increase ambient temperatures in residential areas. The objective of this study is to identify the influence of changes in building mass configuration and form on the reception of solar radiation at outdoor site surface. A quantitative research method was applied by simulating hypothetical building mass models of subsidized housing using Rhinoceros – Grasshopper – Ladybug software. The findings indicate that modifications in building mass configuration and form can reduce the amount of solar radiation received by outdoor site surface. On sites oriented west–east, the best case modification was able to reduce radiation values by up to 32.5% compared to the base case, while on sites oriented north–south, the most effective modification achieved a reduction of up to 25.3% compared to the base case.

Abstract

The development of heritage transit districts ideally integrates respectful facade articulation design, adaptive architectural practices that respect historical values, and sustainability-oriented business strategies. This approach enables the preservation of cultural identity while generating new economic value through adaptive reuse and strategic place branding. Tasikmalaya Station is a heritage building that functions as a key transportation hub in East Priangan. However, the surrounding district faces challenges, including the degradation of heritage functions, suboptimal connectivity, and a lack of cohesive business models integrated with cultural potential. Revitalizing heritage areas like Tasikmalaya Station often faces a dilemma between preserving historic facades and meeting the demands for modern design and functionality. When innovative design is not aligned with business strategy, interventions risk becoming unsustainable and losing socio-economic relevance. This study explores how respectful facade articulation design, adaptive architectural reuse, and business strategies can be integrated to realize a sustainable and strategically valuable heritage-based TOD area. The study employs a literature review approach, synthesizing open-access scholarly journals on adaptive facades, reuse strategies, and architecture-driven business models. The selected literature is contextually aligned with the Tasikmalaya Station masterplan. Three interrelated dimensions respectful facade articulations, adaptive reuse, and business strategies mutually reinforce each other in shaping productive and relevant heritage districts. Respectful facade enhances visual identity and building performance; adaptive architecture maintains cultural continuity and contemporary function; while business strategies support sustainability through community branding and alternative funding models.
