Abstract

In Indonesia, sick building syndrome (SBS) and related health problems are suspected among the residents in emerging new urban houses constructed of modern building materials without sufficient material standards or minimum ventilation rates. First, this study investigates the current conditions of indoor air quality (IAQ) and health in newly constructed high-rise apartments in major cities of Indonesia, in contrast with traditional landed houses, the so-called Kampongs. Concentrations of formaldehyde and TVOC were measured, whereas a face-to-face interview was conducted. A total of 896 respondents were interviewed, and 207 rooms were measured during 2017-2019. The results showed that overall, the newly constructed apartments recorded higher formaldehyde levels compared to Kampongs. The status of the self-reported multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) among occupants was significantly different between the two building types. Furthermore, the occupants with higher levels of TVOC, in particular, were associated with the higher MCS risks, especially in the apartments. Second, we conducted a modification project in several apartment units of Surabaya to examine the effects of exhaust fans on IAQ. In most units, the concentrations of both formaldehyde and TVOC were reduced after the modification. Further, a follow-up measurement was conducted in the same units for about a month.

Abstract

Changes in the function of space have an impact on user activity in the outdoor space. The introduction of the characteristics of the user group is necessary so that the utilization of space can be maximized. The purpose of this research is to identify usage patterns and find out the characteristics of outdoor space territories. The strategy in this study used a qualitative descriptive strategy with observational research techniques, behavior mapping, and documentation. The results obtained are 1) secondary territorial use of outer space occurs by involving special and general users. This can occur because the use of semi-permanent elements is a characteristic of the secondary territory. 2) the secondary territory category can occur because access is open, with joint control of space and joint ownership of space.

Abstract

As the awareness of climate change increased, more sustainable designs are available for not only domestic building but also non domestic building. Focusing on integration with the environmental condition of the site, Senedd (The National Assembly of Wales) is designed to embrace nurture the potential of its site. The utilisation of environmental approach on management, energy, water, materials, pollution, health and wellbeing, waste and innovation leads to an excellent BREEAM rating for the building. This paper aims to study the integration of each environmental consideration utilised in the building. The investigation illustrates how the building perform in three aspects: daylight, natural ventilation and thermal comfort. The study represents that a balance of environmental design approach is demonstrated in the building to achieve its best performance by maximising passive strategies instead of active system.

Abstract

The Republic of Indonesia is the largest Muslim country in the world. In this country the development of shari’a housing is rapidly increasing, this is due to the demand of the shari’a housing market. To meet the needs of consumers having a house with an ideal Islamic residential concept, some criteria can be applied in developing shari'a housing. Many developers have raised the concept of Islamic housing as a branding of developed housing products, but many housings with that concept have not met all the ideal criteria of the concept of Islamic housing. The ideal Islamic residential concept must meet the ideal criteria including there are two entrances, the separation between the service room and the main room, the separation between the family room and living room for the privacy of the occupants, there are parks and open spaces on the residential lots, there are Islamic-style ornaments or plants, there are shading devices, there are ornaments on the main entrance which are the focal points of the entrance design, natural light and ventilation must be able to reach the entire space, carry the concept of climate response, and meet all applicable housing standards. Based on the evaluation results according to investors and in-depth analysis qualitatively and quantitatively about the application of the concept of Islamic housing in the sharia housing case study shows that in the case of Medina Residence 1 it is sufficiently representative to show the application of the ideal Islamic residential concept criteria. Medina Residence 1 received an evaluation response with an average mean score of 5.381on a scale of 6 or it can be said that 89.68% of the criteria for the concept of Islamic housing have been applied well.

Abstract

Housing design in warm-humid tropics is widely studied using various ways. In the climate, achieving low inside air temperature is challenged by high relative humidity for providing comfort. Therefore, this study aims at finding multiple ways in house design to achieve naturally indoor thermal comfort. In this case, house design variables were analyzed by using TAS (Thermal Analysis Software) building simulation software as well as supported by literature reviews. The simulations carried out some variables of dwelling design to identify the best approach to obtain low indoor thermal performance. In this study, the objective is to achieve the low inside air temperature by taking the weather data of Banda Aceh as the case study in TAS simulation. In this article, the house design variables discussed are building materials, shape, ventilation, house orientation, shading, and environmental indications.

Abstract

Mobility contributes to the quality of life (Muller, 2016). In Indonesia, shopping centers and pedestrian spaces have not been supporting each other to accommodate public pedestrians. It lets people drive more automobiles instead of walking even though their settlements are convenient to the commercial places. This problem is further causing other matters such as traffic congestion, accidence, air-pollution, anxiety, and so on. By considering the problem, it is important to transform the design criteria of the modern shopping centers to be not only serving as a commercial destination but also space to provide mobility for public pedestrians in an urban environment. This research is aimed to identify the design criteria of modern shopping centers based on public pedestrian space. The criteria are expected to be a new standard for planning and designing future shopping centers in Indonesian cities. The Evaluative Method is utilized in this research involving a theory of Urban Mobility as the main parameter and three precedents as the objects. The similarities between the precedents could be considered as important design criteria that need to be formulated by utilizing aspects of the theory. As a result, the shopping centers should be designed as a complex of building masses to allow mobility for public pedestrians which need support by transit system and facility. Any integrated circulation with another building with different use also promotes pedestrian activity. The character of the building form or façade should be able to balance the rigid character of the surrounding urban area.

Abstract

Waterfront area is a special place in major cities around the world. Place to work, play or fulfilling a sense of curiosity. The old Kalimas Port is also no exception. As well as waterfront areas in other major cities, as a place for change (transition), with so many maritime facilities and a few new activities to attract people to the waterfront. When future generations are look back on this transition as historical moment of Kalimas River, they who are live today would feel that too many waterfront areas are separated from the public for a long time. The challenge of the waterfront development area is not only to help change the Kalimas riverfront as far as 2.5 km, to be a place to reflect modern traditions and a sense of place, but also take into account the history as an important role. By using a qualitative and descriptive method, the study aims to make a comparative analysis from some of the successful waterfront development concepts with the same character of the region, the old industrial riverfront area. The results are the waterfront development strategy, particularly in the Old Kalimas Port which is also part of the Tanjung Perak Port in Surabaya. It requires some special criteria, the vision and missions of the waterfront planning and development concepts. While in the old Port development strategy, in terms of the physical condition of the area and the Port authority policies, formulate zoning strategies as a macro strategy in the future sustainability of the region. The zoning strategy develop three micro zones; the old Port zone, recreational zone and commercial zone. The three zones have their own strategies which will be mutually support the sustainability of economic, social and cultural sector.
