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

Culture is a basic component of Balinese people’s lives. All development activities have a purpose relative to the culture and values implicit in the concept of the traditional Balinese spatial plan. However, with changing times, there has been development which is not accommodated in the Balinese traditional spatial concept. This development is underground space development. As a result, the status of this development is pending, based on formal and non formal policies. Besides that, this development is unseen and therefore largely unknown and its suitability to environment hasn’t been measured yet makes its sustainability status is in uncertain state. This paper addresses the concept of controlling the underground space development in the Southern Badung area based on Balinese traditional spatial concept and with a sustainable development approach.The result identified that underground space development in Kuta village was dominated by commercial development as parking lots. There are three zones identified based on suitability for underground space development in Kuta village which are low suitability zone, medium suitability zone and high suitability zone. The evaluation in terms of culture and environmental suitability showed that there were seven priority criteria in formulating the concept of its development, namely: outside of open green place, had mitigation system for disasters, outside of Tahura Ngurah Rai, outside of the coast border, outside of and not directly adjacent to the Holy Region, outside of and not directly adjacent to graves of Kuta. The main result of this research is a concept of underground space development control to create sustainable tourism in Kuta village.

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

Solo is a city located in Central Java, Indonesia with 501.650 inhabitants in 2011. It hosted in 2010 the Asia Pacific Ministerial Conference on Housing & Urban Development (APMCHUD) as big events for this city. Besides APMCHUD is an award for Solo urban renewed images since 2005 which one of them is urban waterfront revitalization. Applying the Lourenço meta-analysis for urban growth areas which is specific in urban waterfront management, a better apprehension of the sequence of interdependencies that exist can be addressed to expand the concepts of redevelopment of urban areas. It can be done within a continuum process associated to planning and investment cycles. The applicability of the proposed model is tested by comparing the idealized evolution to the observed urban waterfront in Solo, for a period of eight years, from 2005 to 2013. This enables the discussion of conceptual issues related to the legitimizing of LCA and the present contribution. Although the complete cycle is not yet observable, it is possible to confirm that the relevant nature of this tool allows for an earlier awareness of the cycle progression anomalies and, therefore, a potentially better adjustment between observed and ideal behaviors, if these anomalies are monitored and addressed.This paper will address Solo profile and planning process, major outcomes due to urban waterfront applicability of LCA models and framework for the sustainable management.

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

The concept of sustainable emerged around 1970 which was developed to address the critical issue of energy. It is less recognized that this concept need to be developed and industrialized by the countries due to their dependence on fossil fuels in that time. Then, architecture develop it into a green building concept. The latest development of green architecture becomes imperative in the design architecture for the construction of new buildings. That understanding built in global perspective, how about in local perspective – like in Javanese culture – is it the same context or perspective? Furthermore, it is going to be the focus of this paper.This paper tries to pick sustainable background in the context of Javanese culture as the focus. In Javanese culture, philosophy background can be constructed by performing puppet plays reinterpretation. Lakon Babad Alas Wanamarta can be placed as the cornerstone of sustainable communities’ the philosophy of Java. Theoretical level and indicators for green architecture in the Java community may appoint Primbon.Research method use Hegel dialogue with architecture critic approach. This working paper is still at the level of exploratory studies to answer unresolved and couldn’t replace sustainable and architectural ideas that have been grown in agrarian people today. But it needs to be examined further as sustainable or green architecture can be developed further from an agrarian society civilized.

Abstract

Limited proportion between built area and open space of house-lots in housing district seems to become trend in some housing. Within period of occupancy, house-owners are continuously requiring more rooms. A common solution is to transform available open space in the lot into building. Several contiguous housing in Sidoarjo Regency, comprises of low-to-medium and medium-to high housing types was studied to learn on the trend. The study concluded that definition of low-to-medium and medium-to-high class housing was a correct term here. In average, respondents had duration of occupancy of 15 to 20 years and most were undertaken housing extension. From 83 respondents out of 170 suspected houses of having insufficient open space was significantly proved that the extension leaved open space toward 0%. This means that lack of private open space is a factual trend here. When lack of open space is a trend, we may easily suspect that green open space is in similar term.Interesting phenomenon was found that apart from good level of early and prior awareness on the necessity of open space, average respondents had significantly lower early knowledge on the importance of open space especially in term of providing rainwater absorption bed. Their knowledge increased gradually currently. However, their current knowledge was still lower than their awareness. This finding is expected to be useful in planning further stage of community outreach to give informal lecture among community due to actual procedure in fixing open space inexistence, especially to further generation.
