Authors:Sulestyaning Hastuti, Nadia Almira Jordan, Rulliannor Syah Putra, Tiara Harya Artanti 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.
Authors:Imsaskia Cassandra 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. PubDate: 2024-10-31 Issue No:Vol. 23 (2024)
Authors:Nadia Almira Jordan, Rulliannor Syah Putra, Della Aprilianti, Aisyah Delia Hidayat 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.

Authors:Nur Aliyah, Tiara Rukmaya Dewi 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. PubDate: 2024-10-31 Issue No:Vol. 23 (2024)
Authors:Ni G. A. Diah Ambarwati Kardinal, I Dewa Gede Agung Diasana Putra, I Made Adhika, Ngakan Ketut Acwin Dwijendra 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.
