IDENTIFICATION OF WASTE SAVING VARIATIONS IN INDONESIA

2025-10-31T01:25:30+00:00

The volume of waste in all major cities in Indonesia was increasing. The character of sorting waste that occurs in society was still not significant to save the environment from the dangers of waste. The purpose of the study was to identify variations in saving waste that were developing in Indonesia. This study used the qualitative deductive content analysis method, collecting various secondary data through literature studies. The unit of analysis was the entire sentence in the observation unit. The analysis procedure was carried out through the process of selecting information units, the categorization process, and the conceptualization process. This study reveals that the main concept of saving waste had been innovated and become an attraction for waste bank managers and the government to attract public interest in saving waste in terms of fulfilling economic needs, which results in eight variations of saving waste in waste banks in Indonesia, namely: (1) saving waste to get gold, (2) getting basic necessities, (3) saving waste to pay for electricity, PDAM, and telephone, (4) saving waste to save and borrow money, (5) saving waste for holiday packages (THR, Qurban/Hajj), (6) saving waste to finance education, (7) saving waste to pay BPJS health/employment, and (8) saving waste for baby needs.

TRANSFORMING PUBLIC SPACE THROUGH PLACEMAKING: DESIGN CRITERIA IN MANAGING HABITUS CONFLICTS ON GILI KETAPANG ISLAND

2025-11-26T04:25:21+00:00

Conflicts between the fishing habitus and the tourism habitus on Gili Ketapang Island (PGK) arise from unequal access to space and imbalanced management of tourism activities. Public spaces that once functioned as productive areas for fishermen have shifted toward tourism-oriented uses, creating spatial marginalization, social resentment, and tension over cultural values. This article identifies patterns of conflict within habitus spaces by observing the activities and behaviors of both groups. A placemaking approach is employed to formulate design criteria that foster collaboration and reduce conflict between habitus. Placemaking enables the two habitus to coexist within inclusive public spaces, generating interaction, shared ownership, and reinforcement of local identity. The article demonstrates how placemaking can serve as a strategic tool for strengthening sociocultural resilience and mitigating intergroup conflict. These design criteria form the foundation for creating adaptive, collaborative, and sustainable coastal public spaces that accommodate both habitus. Ultimately, reinforcing local values not only maintains social harmony but also supports the growth of culturally grounded tourism.

TSUNAMI DISASTER MITIGATION-BASED DESIGN CONCEPT IN THE COASTAL AREA OF SENDANGBIRU BEACH, MALANG

2025-11-25T06:05:49+00:00

Sendangbiru Beach, located in Malang Regency, is a tourist destination and economic center for fishermen, always bustling with visitors. Tourism in coastal areas carries a high risk of disasters. Sendangbiru Beach is also classified as a high-tsunami-prone area. Currently, Sendangbiru Beach lacks adequate facilities and infrastructure to respond to tsunamis. This poses a significant risk to visitors and the community. This study aims to discuss the concept of coastal design based on tsunami disaster mitigation, based on spatial planning and activities, circulation, facilities, vegetation, and residential areas. The method used is descriptive qualitative, comparing existing conditions with regulations and previous research journals. The results indicate that Sendangbiru Beach requires significant facility additions and renovations to ensure tsunami resilience

THE ROLE OF MULTIFUNCTIONAL GREEN OPEN SPACES IN INCREASING THE CITY'S RESILIENCE TO CLIMATE CHANGE

2025-11-27T02:17:25+00:00

Global climate change has significantly impacted the urban environment, especially in big cities like Surabaya. One effective adaptation strategy is the development of multifunctional green open spaces (RTH) that can increase the city's resilience to various climate challenges, such as increased temperatures, flooding, and decreased air quality. This research aims to analyze the role of multifunctional green spaces in Surabaya in responding to climate change through case studies on city parks, roof gardens, and bozems. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach, involving field observations and literature studies. The results showed that multifunctional green spaces in Surabaya significantly contribute to reducing ambient temperature, increasing rainwater absorption capacity, and providing social and recreational spaces for the community. However, the development of green spaces still faces challenges related to limited land and sustainable management. This research recommends the integration of innovations such as roof gardens and vertical gardens, as well as increased community participation in the management of green spaces to strengthen the city's resilience to climate change in the future.

ARCHITECTURAL ADAPTATION ON THE KENJERAN COAST: TOWARDS CLIMATE-RESPONSIVE SETTLEMENTS

2025-11-27T03:26:30+00:00

Climate change poses a significant global threat to the built environment, especially in coastal areas vulnerable to sea level rise and climate-related disasters. According to IPCC (2023), global sea levels are rising by approximately 20 cm per year, with nearly 200 coastal cities and regencies in Indonesia at risk. The Kenjeran coastal area in Surabaya faces serious challenges such as tidal flooding and environmental degradation threatening the sustainability of local fishing communities. This study examines architectural adaptation as an innovative approach to create climate-responsive settlements that are adaptive and sustainable. The methods include literature review, field observation, and participatory design analysis to develop an adaptive housing model with modular designs capable of adjusting to rising water levels, including floating. The integration of modern technology with local wisdom is expected not only to provide physical protection but also to maintain the socio-cultural and economic sustainability of the community. The implementation of this design has the potential to become a climate-responsive settlement model that can be applied to other coastal areas in Indonesia facing similar challenges. This study highlights the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration and the integration of local wisdom in realizing resilient built environments to face climate change.

ADAPTIVE REVITALIZATION OF TAMAN BUNGKUL: AS CLIMATE RESPONSIVE URBAN PLACEMAKING DEFENSE ARCHITECTURE

2025-11-27T06:18:18+00:00

The increasingly evident challenges of climate change demand that urban public spaces become more adaptive, responsive, and sustainable. This study examines Taman Bungkul in Surabaya, one of the city’s iconic public open spaces that has undergone revitalization through a placemaking approach participatory design process emphasizing user comfort and local identity. Despite these revitalization efforts, the park is assessed to be suboptimal in addressing the challenges of the tropical climate, such as extreme temperatures, high rainfall, and the urban heat island effect. The aim of this research is to integrate climate resilient architectural principles into the placemaking approach, in order to realize public spaces that are more responsive to climate change. Using a qualitative method involving field observation and literature review, the study finds that improvements are still needed in terms of ecological performance and climate adaptability. Based on this evaluation, the researcher proposes strategic interventions, including the installation of shading elements, the application of climate-responsive materials, the implementation of natural stormwater management systems, spatial zoning flexibility, and the revitalization of spaces for social activity.
