Abstract

This research explores the positive and negative impacts of the Bilik Sijile Beach tourism sector on beef cattle farmers' livelihoods and the environment in Merak Hamlet, Baluran National Park. As emerging tourist destinations, these beaches have attracted many visitors, significantly changing the local community. Using a qualitative descriptive approach with SWOT and socio-economic impact analyses, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies involving 40 purposively selected respondents. The findings indicate positive impacts, including increased business opportunities, income diversification, and improved infrastructure. However, tourism also reduces grazing land quality, environmental pollution, and social changes affecting local traditions. The SWOT analysis highlights strengths like local resources and tourist economic potential alongside opportunities like government support and digital technology advancements. Conversely, weaknesses include technological limitations and resource pressures, while threats encompass market price fluctuations and environmental degradation. This study recommends sustainable tourism development that balances local community welfare and ecological preservation. Integrating environmental conservation with regional economic growth and providing training in tourism management and technology for cattle farmers can enhance adaptation and ensure the sustainability of both tourism and livestock sectors in Merak Hamlet.

Abstract

The Sasak tribe maintains traditional architectural practices that remain vibrant today, particularly embodied in the Bale Tani structure, which exemplifies local wisdom. Despite the richness of this indigenous knowledge, modern rural development often overlooks its ecological potential, resulting in spatial designs that are culturally disconnected and environmentally unsustainable. This study addresses this gap by examining the ecological principles embedded in the spatial planning of Bale Tani buildings to apply these insights to culturally grounded innovations in sustainable architecture. Employing a qualitative method involving literature review, field observation, and spatial analysis, this research offers a novel contribution by systematically mapping ecological parameters within vernacular Sasak architecture, an area still underrepresented in current architectural discourse. The findings reveal how traditional Sasak layouts promote ecological sustainability, social harmony, and climate-responsive agricultural architecture. These insights underscore the urgency of integrating local architectural wisdom into contemporary rural housing strategies to mitigate environmental degradation and preserve cultural heritage in the face of rapid modernization.

Abstract

Biophilic design is an applied approach rooted in historical understanding and human intuition toward nature, supported by scientific findings that affirm the importance of human-nature relationships for physical, psychological, and emotional well-being. This understanding aligns with the philosophy of the Sundanese people—particularly the community of Naga Village—who maintain a strong connection with nature. Naga Village was chosen as the case study for its ability to preserve the integration of culture, architecture, and ecology amid modernizing pressures. This paper aims to identify 14 biophilic patterns in the vernacular architectural concept of Naga Village across three spatial contexts: macro (ecology), meso (settlement patterns), and micro (architecture). The method employed is qualitative-comparative, using thematic visual analysis through a matrix that matches biophilic patterns with the three spatial contexts of Naga Village. The results indicate a direct correlation between biophilic principles and the ecological, settlement, and architectural elements that have evolved through generations in Naga Village.

Abstract

Visual comfort is an important aspect of teaching and learning activities. This study used simulation with DIALux evo 9.1 at the Joint Lecture Building (GKB) State University of Malang. Data analysis uses a quantitative descriptive approach. Natural lighting simulation is carried out to get an idea of natural lighting and its effects. The results showed that the average intensity of room lighting was above the lighting standard. The highest intensity occurs at 12:00, while the lowest is at 16:00. The level of visual comfort due to natural lighting is not optimal. Very high lighting intensity results in glare effect on the transparent wall side of the room, while the inner side is below the room lighting standard. The influence of architectural and façade design that affects the optimization of natural lighting is: building orientation, the use of transparent walls full of CW (curtain wall) construction, minimizing the use of horizontal shading, by tending to use vertical shading-fins, and making transparent material selection.

Abstract

Problems that arise in a time when it is easy to obtain information and references result in the emergence of a tendency to use various architectural styles, resulting in problems where the use of these styles is different from the local context in the area. Eclecticism in architectural design can be one method to produce local identity in new buildings. This can be achieved if the references used in the design come from the right sources. The method of analysis of the composition of the façade is used to understand the visual expression of the façade. This research reveals the expression of Rote Ndao's local identity through eclecticism on the architectural façade of the Regent's Office. The results showed that the Regent Office presented local identity through four eclecticism approaches. Ti'i langga and bohani elements are ornaments on the roof (art and decoration), so it is interpreted as a symbol of the highest government in this region (symbol). The combination of Rote Ndao, Ti'i Langga traditional roofs, and designs with modern materials becomes a pluralism concept on the façade of the building, namely historical references and present-day architecture. This study is relevant to understanding and safeguarding cultural heritage. The integration of local elements in architectural design allows development that fulfills functions and respects cultural heritage.

Abstract

Sasirangan fabric artisans carry out the production process in their respective houses. The house not only functions as a living space but also as a production space. Sasirangan fabric is a typical craft from Sasirangan Village, Banjarmasin, which is a source of livelihood for the community. The local government has designated Sasirangan Village as a riverfront area so that the existence and uniqueness of artisans's houses are in danger of being lost. The purpose of this case study research on the spatial typology of artists' business houses is to identify the different types of business houses based on the stage of production and space utilization patterns. The analysis was conducted by arranging categories based on function, spatial relationship patterns, and spatial organization. The research results show that six spatial typologies of business houses were found based on their space utilization patterns.

Abstract

The transport hub building's main function is to exchange passengers from one mode to another. The transfer area is the main area of passenger transfer activities in this building. Each transport hub building certainly has different transfer area characteristics from one another. Several factors shape the spatial characteristics of this area. The purpose of this study is to determine the spatial characteristics of the transfer area and, as a theoretical study, to see how the transfer area is an adequate passenger exchange area in case studies of transport hub buildings in the world. The method used to analyze the data is descriptive qualitative. The analysis was carried out by comparing the observed data with existing theoretical variables. The results of this research then conclude in the form of several dominant factors that make the spatial character of the transfer area in transport hub buildings in the world. From the analysis that has been done, it can be concluded that there are characteristics of space-forming elements which are dominated by transparent planes, maximize incoming natural light, have an orientation to the outside of the building, have a broad shape, are dominant and are located in the center of the building.
