Abstract

The traditional architecture in Indonesia has been implementing local wisdom or genius loci to sustain both their tradition and built environment. In contrast, the modernity and global paradigm reduce the local paradigm. In fact, most tradition-al/vernacular built environment has many potential aspects, such as design of roof, building material etc. Omah Laweyanan has implemented some elements of building which refer to ecological architecture. Those are design of roof, doors and windows, and yard of house [open space] and veranda. The doors and windows have shape and size which cross ventilation be done. This paper consist of discussion that ve-randa are an approach and design strategy in Javanese Architecture, which they can sustain the environment. This paper will focus on omah Laweyanan in Surakar-ta. According to field study, it shows that veranda in omah Laweyanan is an alter-native that attempts to minimize the impact of global warming and climate change, which can be developed through the implementation in architecture design.

Abstract

Anywhere in the world, whether in rural or urban area, we cannot avoid the issue of global warming. In the urban area, about 80% of our activities are inside the buildings: in the houses, schools, offices, manufacture buildings, hotels, etcetera. Only a few of our activities take place outside the buildings. The conditions inside the buildings for our activities are far from comfort right now. In other words: our activities inside the buildings need some devices to help us to support the activities running well. In fact, some devices to support our activities generally exploit our natural resources and energies that in turn, degrade our environment.There are also some statements that the efforts to fight degrading environment are the domain of the government only. In fact, the efforts to fight degrading environment are our business, the responsibility of all people. “Green” now is the popular word for us, and the new trend for our daily living. Whereas, this is not a new trending topic in our life, but this must be the change in our life style. That is, the need for architectural design, specifically architectural engineering that green enough for the condition of the earth, the changing climate, and degrading environment; need the changing life style.The objective of this paper is to explore the possible things to manage green architecture through green life style. The methods used by examining life style that contributes to green architecture. The conclusion is that some simple life styles can have influencing factors to green architecture.

Abstract

Buildings have a major, wide ranging impact on the environment. The features which a building must have in order to be described as ‘green’ or ‘sustainable’ are now well known. Whereas a wholly sustainable building cannot be attained, there is need for action to minimise the adverse impacts of buildings. This contributes to the attainment of sustainable development. In most countries, some efforts are being made by governments, professional institutions and companies to realise sustainable buildings. However, it is evident that much more needs to be done. The effort to attain sustainable buildings has several drivers, including mandatory legal requirements, incentives, benchmarking and labelling schemes, and action by professional institutions. It is suggested here that focus should be on the responsibility of the individual practitioner to work towards the design or construction of sustainable buildings in the normal course of the practitioner’s work. This responsibility is considered from the perspective of the ethics and professionalism of such a practitioner. The roles of various parties in setting out and strengthening this responsibility are discussed.

Abstract

Green open space has been a worldwide issue. Big cities in the world have a higher concerns regarding open space provision. Researchers have proven that open space will improve the quality of life of people. However, problems of green space provision are also arising related to scarcity of land which is a common problem to cities with high density of population. One solution offered in big cities is converting vacant lot into pocket park. However, this solution could be different for informal settlement. The problems are worsened in this higher density area. The limited space and no proper infrastructure induce big problems such as health and social problems. This paper would like to find out the possibility to create such pocket park in the very limited space of informal settlement. The case study area looked at the informal settlements in coastal area in Surabaya, which is supposed to build the city image as waterfront city. The situation in the settlement has decreased over years and need a revitalization effort. This study used literature review to find solution of problems derived from the field observation. Pocket park could be an alternative solution which includes three successful factors: community participation, local identity, and support from community organization and government.

Abstract

The existence of kampungs or township settlements in Surabaya is very essential to the city development seen from the historical aspect of Surabaya which grew from the development of township settlements. Therefore the issue of sustainable develop-ment to create a good living environment can be applied to the settlements sector in Surabaya in order to turn Surabaya into an ecological city, so that the efforts of citi-zens in Surabaya in the eco kampung activities can make a significant contribution in the realization of the ecological city. Kampung Kertajaya Surabaya is one of the township settlements in Surabaya that applies sustainable development with the coo-peration of the residents and City Government.

Abstract

Global challenges such as natural resource depletions, irregular weather pattern, and pollutions were imminent. The Home Green Design proposed by other countries was not suitable to Bali Island because of the local social context. The Balinese House is regulated with the Tri Mandala and Sanga Mandala to achieve the harmonious relations between Macrocosms (Bhuana Agung) and Microcosms (Bhuana Alit) [or Tri Hita Karana]. The Sanga Mandala guides the spatial pattern both on the house and the settlement scale. The Tenganan traditional Village implemented Tri-Mandala which organized the house into the Utama (upper and sacred), Madya (middle and human), and Nista (lower and profane). The Tri Mandala concept is very adaptable to the environment, even in the middle of the economic-driven activities and fast home development. However, the Tri-Mandala really supported the sustainability in the functionality aspect, the social acceptance aspect as well as thermal comfort aspect. Therefore, the Tri Mandala concept could be implemented in the contemporary house design in Bali.

Abstract

Neighbourhood unit (RW) 7 Simokerto Village, District Simokerto is one of the winners of Surabaya Green and Clean program (SGC), which involves the participation of citizens in the development of environmentally related activities. The purpose of this study is to investigate the community participation in Neighbourhood unit (RW) 7 Kampung Simokerto in Surabaya Green and Clean program (SGC). This research is a case study with the data collection methods of observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that community participation in the development of environmentally activities include voluntary work, planting and care of plants, organic and inorganic waste separation, use Takakura and composter, composting, waste bank procurement, and use of processed water from water treatment (IPAL) for watering plants thus saving the use of clean water.
