Abstract

In Indonesia, developing senior housing often takes multiple years because of financial constraints and the lack of a comprehensive plan. While this strategy allows for a stepwise improvement in the available infrastructure, it may lead to disjointed spatial configurations and uneven quality in the surrounding environment. In many cases, the absence of adequate transitional spaces has been shown to result in limited accessibility, reduced social interaction among senior residents, and weak visual and physical connections to the outside space. This study explores the role of biophilic-based transitional spaces in supporting spatial integration and improving the environmental quality of gradually developed senior housing. A case study was conducted at the Wisma Lansia Harapan Asri in Semarang. Qualitative spatial analysis was conducted through phenomenological observation to capture environmental experience. Transitional areas play an instrumental role in providing linkages between residential blocks, circulation zones, and external environments. Designing micro gardens, corridor recesses, courtyard social gardens, and gardens as buffers reinforce spatial continuity while balancing enclosure and social permeability. Such evidence has helped evaluate and refine spatial design principles in multiple housing types, including pavilions and class-setting units, aimed at improving the ambience, comfort and psychosocial health of senior residents. Design recommendations for pavilion and class-setting units refine these principles, offering flexible, non-technical criteria for architects to improve ambience comfort and psychosocial health. By addressing user experiences and environmental quality, biophilic transitional spaces enable stepwise infrastructure improvements without compromising livability, providing a model for adaptable senior housing designs.

Abstract

With increasing age, elderly individuals experience declines in physical and cognitive functions, requiring adaptations in their daily activities and living environments. In rural contexts, elderly residents often maintain strong adherence to cultural values and traditional housing practices, adjusting their activities and bodily abilities rather than modifying the spatial configuration of their homes. One group that continues to inhabit vernacular houses is the Bugis community in Tolitoli, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. This study aims to examine the relationship between the health conditions of rural elderly and their spatial ideals and comfort in using domestic spaces within Bugis vernacular houses. The research employed a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative methods (participant observation and in-depth interviews) and quantitative methods (questionnaire survey analyzed through cross-tabulation and Fisher's Exact Test). The qualitative findings reveal that elderly residents hold strong spatial ideals rooted in cultural familiarity, which inform how they adapt to domestic spaces amid declining health conditions. Rather than modifying spatial configurations, elderly residents adjust their daily activities in alignment with their existing spatial ideals and accumulated spatial knowledge. Three aspects of spatial quality were identified as relevant to this adaptive process: personal safety, sensory comfort, and functionalities of space. Personal safety is especially significant for elderly with cognitive impairments, while sensory comfort, particularly tactile perception, plays a key role for those with visual impairments. Functionalities of space support elderly independence by enabling mobility and daily activity management within the domestic environment. The quantitative findings further indicate that health conditions relate significantly to two spatial comfort aspects: room size and floor surface texture, both corresponding to personal safety and sensory comfort needs. Overall, the findings suggest that the health conditions of rural elderly relate to their spatial ideals and comfort in nuanced ways, shaped by longterm cultural familiarity with the vernacular dwelling environment.

Abstract

Indonesia’s position along the Ring of Fire renders it highly prone to volcanic eruptions, often causing significant displacement and damage to settlements. These conditions highlight the need for effective emergency shelters. However, static emergency shelter solutions, such as conventional tents, are often inadequate for the dynamic evacuation contexts of volcanic disasters. These shelters are typically difficult to transport, slow to deploy, and dependent on skilled labor, resulting in delayed protection for evacuees. This study aims to develop design criteria for portable emergency shelters by applying the principles of portable architecture—mobility, compactibility, lightweight materials, and ease of assembly—to better support evacuation mobility and post-disaster needs. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the research integrates contextual analysis of Semeru’s eruption characteristics with theoretical frameworks of portable design. Data were collected through literature review, design document analysis, and secondary disaster data, focusing on evacuation dynamics, environmental conditions, and ergonomic requirements. The findings identify three essential design aspects: rapid deployment, compactness, and transportability. The proposed shelter design incorporates retractable and folding systems allowing rapid assembly by non-expert users within five to ten minutes, compact packaging for efficient storage, and lightweight construction suitable for motorcycle transport. This design improves response speed and reduces logistical dependence during disaster evacuation. The study concludes that integrating portable architectural strategies into emergency shelter design enhances adaptability, responsiveness, and independence of affected communities, providing not only physical protection but also supporting the continuity of mobility and dignity during prolonged displacement.

Abstract

Urbanization, characterized by dense populations and demanding lifestyles, necessitates a commensurate emphasis on urban planning that prioritizes livability. Green spaces, particularly urban parks, are fundamental to this endeavor, serving as vital counterpoints to the built environment and fostering social interaction while promoting well-being. This study investigates Ulin Urban Park in Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan, a region grappling with mental health challenges, including instances of suicide linked to depression, some occurring within the park itself. Recognizing the crucial role of accessible and well-designed green spaces in mitigating such issues, this research employs an evaluative mapping approach to analyze the park's landscape elements. By assessing the availability and quality of these elements against established standards and suitability indicators, the study aims to identify areas for improvement in Ulin Urban Park's design and infrastructure. Field observation through photo taking was done to collect the existing condition of the park’s landscape elements in supporting users’ activities. The findings highlight specific areas where the park's soft and hard character elements, furniture, circulation, utilities, microclimate, and management of noise and odor require improvement and attention. The diversity of vegetation that enhances biodiversity could improve the attractiveness, while the quality of seating areas and other structures will improve comfort and aesthetic appeal. Such improvement in the pathways for both segments will also support the flow and accessibility.

Abstract

This study aims to highlight the conflict, especially those occurring in housing and settlement development projects, and provide relevant solutions to enhance project efficiency in New National Capital City (IKN), Indonesia. Site management involves a series of operations that combine various materials to achieve the final construction result. Therefore, to improve project productivity, it is essential to identify and implement key management techniques. Critical components of project execution and on-site management include integration management, site planning, resource management, site safety, monitoring, and supervision. Neglecting these components can lead to decreased productivity. Thus, addressing these issues and recognizing these components and tensions is essential. The study utilizes literature review, on-site observations, and semi structured interviews during the execution of construction projects. These conflicts were analyzed using factor analysis based on the average ranking obtained through questionnaire surveys. Data was collected from 48 respondents, selected based on simple random sampling from construction stakeholders. Feedback from the respondents was analyzed using the frequency for ranking purposes. The results identified seven main conflict factors. This aims to assist in conflict management in upcoming projects.

Abstract

The rapid development of Balikpapan built environment is influenced by the development of the relocation of Indonesia’s capital city to the East Kalimantan Province. One impact that should be anticipated is the increase in immigrant and land conversion due to infrastructure expansion and the effect on the natural urban ecosystem. The disruption of the natural environment can indirectly affect welfare, such as the lack of accessibility of residents to appropriate resources. The quality of the housing environment has a fundamental significance on the quality of life; however, a measurable design approach is still unseen in the Grand City housing in Balikpapan. This research aims to formulate an improvement design strategy for a green neighborhood following the greenship criteria. Using SWOT analysis, internal and external factors were compiled in the qualitative matrix to generate design strategies. The result shows that internal and external source factors support the improvement by depicting the developed area's strengths and weaknesses. The essential enhancements for the area are the movement and connectivity and the building and energy criteria. At the same time, the other improvements are related to the provision and the development of the existing elements could improve the green innovation of the area to be more environmental-friendly.

Abstract

Balikpapan City focuses on the vision and mission of zero carbon emissions. One way to achieve this is to provide facilities with a sustainable natural school system with a green architectural approach. Students learn to care for ecosystems through hands-on, immersive experiences. This research aims to obtain an optimal building design in response to the local climate to create user comfort in learning activities. A learning building must support a learning objective focusing on acquiring specific skills, knowledge, or competencies in a particular subject. Geographically, the design location is in a wet tropical sub-climate, so the potential for sunlight can be utilized as an alternative source of renewable energy in buildings. This research uses Ecotect simulations during the design process to ensure the schools are sustainable and environmentally friendly with a focus on ecological aspects and building performance. This research uses quantitative methods to measure solar paths, radiation intensity, and shading indicators. The data collected guides the design process and creates energy-efficient and well-suited buildings to their environment. By integrating these insights from the beginning, nature-based schools in Balikpapan can become sustainability models, offering students an education deeply rooted in their natural surroundings. The results of this research are that the tropical climate at the design location can be used as an energy alternative in natural school buildings. However, the choice of building shape is a consideration in the design process because the shape of the building can influence the desired output.

Abstract

Karang bengang, a traditional green space in Tegallalang, Gianyar, represents a significant element of Bali's cultural heritage and environmental sustainability. This study explores integrating karang bengang's cultural and ecological values with modern urban planning strategies to create sustainable urban designs that honor traditional practices. A lot of karang bengang has been lost due to development, thereby changing the heritage site. The research employs a qualitative approach, including grounded theory and hermeneutic analysis, to understand the historical significance, current transformation, and future potential of karang bengang. Findings reveal that karang bengang serves not only as a green belt and community space but also as a vital component of Bali's cultural identity, offering ecological benefits and promoting social cohesion. However, rapid urbanization and tourism development threaten its existence and functionality. This study proposes a model that balances development needs with preserving traditional landscapes. This model emphasizes community engagement, digital mapping technologies, and policy recommendations that reinforce the importance of cultural landscapes in urban environments. The proposed framework aims to guide policymakers, urban planners, and local communities in preserving karang bengang while accommodating growth and modernization. Ultimately, this research contributes to the broader discourse on sustainable urban development, highlighting the need to respect and incorporate cultural heritage in the planning process to achieve resilient and culturally enriched urban spaces.

Abstract

Data shows that, all recorded cases of violence in Indonesia, most of the victims were children. architecture needs to respond to this phenomenon by manipulating certain spatial designs, because these cases occur in architectural spaces. This issue should ideally be considered on a city scale, seeing that the highest mobility of children is movement within the city, perhaps going to school or to the playground within the same city. To create a safe environment for children from violence that lurk on a city scale, it is necessary to manipulate the design of spaces in the city where children usually carry out their activities, thus these spaces can be called child-friendly spaces. By using the theory of architecture as a crime control, which is a prevention and protection mechanism for victims and potential victims of urbanscale violence, the spatial and formal aspects that need special attention are visibility, dimensions and shape, and accessibility.
