The number of world urban population in 2050 is estimated will reach 68 % of the total population. Those urban areas are threatened by the energy crisis due to the dependency on fossil energy. High population density also makes the sensitiveness of the city to threaten by dangers. Urban heat island due to the trapping of heat released into the atmosphere is associated with the glasshouse effect, the use of materials & colors which are less environmentally friendly, CO2 emissions from factory exhaust fumes and transportation equipment, and the development of urban sprawl. Recent studies show the air temperature in urban areas is higher than in rural areas; the average air temperature in the city center is 10°C higher during the day and between (5-6)°C at night. The sustainability of planet Earth is increasingly threatened with these urban problems.

The New Urban Agenda was launched in the early 2016 and served as a guideline for urban development for the next 20 years. It is aimed at creating an inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable city. The development of the built environment for human habitation, which is characterized by the dominance of man-made structures, should underline to be able to integrate the contribution of architectural functions, place identity, territoriality, urban systems, and social capital to the environmental management system. With the idea of resilience built environment which is developed from adaptable urban system toward changes, by taking advantage of opportunities and transformational development readiness taking into account all risks and uncertainties in the future, will be a solution for urban development in the name of economic sovereignty, socio-cultural, environmentally friendly and sustainable.

Known as the Rainbow Kampong, the kampong Wonosari is a kampong in the Randusari sub-district, a district within a region of the South Semarang District. Previously known as a slum kampong, people have named the kampong to become the Rainbow kampong due to the thematic kampong program which was accelerated by the Major of Semarang city in 2016. The kampong has two RW (Rukun Warga) with a population of more than 3,000 inhabitants. Based on the population data of Randusari sub-district, the RW #3 of the Kampong Wonosari has 1,724 inhabitants divided into 10 RTs (Neighborhood Groups). With this high level of population density the existence of communal space is very important. Refer to the number of households and the low carbon concept, the kampong could reduce the carbon dioxide emission as much as 21.3689% by re-designing the communal spaces.

Rapid development of cities around the world has been the pulling factor for the increased in the rural migration to the cities. It is expected that urban population will increase to more than 60% by 2050 and the biggest growth is expected in the developing countries in Asia. The urban challenges and stresses are contributing to the main issue of climatic changes. One movement to combat and mitigate climate change in the cities is to culture a low carbon urban society. This paper shares the experience of preparing the Low Carbon Society (LCS) Blueprints specifically in matters involving Green Buildings for Iskandar Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The focus is on the existing buildings that make up more than 80% of building stocks in the cities. Furthermore, it is easier to manage and regulate new buildings through building submissions whereby the new building has to be designed as green building that will be vetted by respective local authority failing which the building plan will be rejected! Thus, clearly in order to make LCS successfully implemented and achieving target of green building, the most important is the caring for the existing buildings. The paper shares the strategies outlined in the LCS Blueprints and possible approaches to rejuvenate existing buildings into targeted green buildings using low lying fruit strategies before embarking into more expensive active technologies. The layman strategies adopted by house owner in a typical terrace house is used as an interesting case study that is simple and easy to follow with reference to the low-lying fruit principles. The paper discusses on incentives and rewards systems to drive green buildings awareness and implementations of LCS Blueprints for Iskandar Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur. It concluded by showing the illustration of Low Carbon City of the future.

This paper explains how the community movement governed the urban rivers' climate adaptation using the case of Yogyakarta's three main rivers. Before, these areas were prone to floods and disease outbreak. The Sultan Ground and private owned land statuses by the riversides created difficulties since many urban poor in this city lived in these areas. The local authority supported the poor through community engagement. This scheme resulted in a breakthrough. The communities there became more aware of the misuse of rivers. They proactively participated in the discussions and initiated a movement to conserve the riverside areas. The urban river governance proceeded both bottom-up and top-down approaches. This case used the explanation with purposive sampling derived from a list of related informants. The primary data was acquired through snowballing interviews, while secondary data was obtained from related stakeholders' archives. Both types of data were collected to understand the multilevel governance structure within the stakeholders' collaboration context. The movement resulted in better city planning. It reduced the vulnerability of the poor, while increasing their adaptive capacity to climate change. Using Yogyakarta as a case, this paper adds to the knowledge of urban resilience strategy in developing countries.

The uniqueness of construction and building process influences the purpose of form, generally recognized by local wisdom. Occasionally climate will not influence the building it follows, custom-tradition and environment condition that determine the differences of characteristics in responding to the climate. There are three elements to consider in architectural discipline: Nature as a place that influences the building; Building as a product to fulfill human necessity to stay in nature, and human as user, occupant, designer or builder. Those elements are inseparable, as they link to each other. Consequently it is important to take into account the environmental conditions when establish building and dwelling. Beside that it is necessary for house residents to obey and follow the stipulation regulated by local custom or tradition. The Betawian house is traditional house that maintains the built environment sustainability it is faithfulness in the local wisdom. For instance the house has veranda as a respond to the climate. For that reasons the author conducted this research with the following hypothesis "the fidelity to local wisdom in supporting the traditional house's response to the climate" with descriptive-qualitative methodology. The discussion included the theory of traditional architecture in Indonesia, the Betawian ethnic house; the tropical architecture-building theory and the sustainable architecture theory. Findings showed the decrease a number of housing and dwelling that use of local wisdom as a response to the climate changes. One of the research goals was to preserve the local wisdom by maintaining the traditional house and teaching the house resident to preserve. Publishing a journal article is a way to raise the awareness of the built environment sustainability.

The research explores how the notion of 'rights to the city,' as an important element of the contestation over the globalized "human rights' movement, is then manifested and implemented in local context. It aims to understand whether the idea of rights to the city is perceived and practiced in a specific setting, the urban Javanese context and setting, in this case, the historic city of Yogyakarta. It is based on the idea that in historic city like Yogyakarta, existing local norms and concepts could be contested with western norms and concepts of rights to the city. This was an exploratory research, utilizing multiple case studies approach and method to understand local norms and theories related to the issue of rights to the city and city tolerance. The research purposively selected five case studies that represented the Javanese concepts of rights to the city and city tolerance. It revealed that the practice of Javanese concepts of 'rukun' and 'tepo sliro' could be contested with the western concepts of rights to the city and city tolerance. It, however, also showed that such concepts were not free from misuse and even abuse to maintain status quo or to exhibit quasi-harmony. The paper also showed how the idea of inclusive and sustainable city under the New Urban Agenda was interpreted and implemented in local situation and contexts.

The tangible and intangible heritage of a country in a mélange of epitome created during various phases of history. The heritage core city areas of many South Asian countries are losing their original identity because of the rampant globalization and modern development. The conservation and preservation policies of such heritage core city areas need attention towards its holistic integration with urban development practices which can bridge a gap between the old and the new developments of the cities. Almost all the heritage core city areas have historical, religious, social, cultural, spiritual, and scientific or aesthetic significance. There is multiple layer of historical importance which give unique identification of heritage built up areas. The built-up heritage of the core areas is based on the typology of buildings, historical importance, architectural character in terms of plan and ornamentation, the socio-cultural lifestyle of people, economy, geographical location, governance, etc. This paper is an abstract from the research work of the author, where there is an attempt to discuss the way in which conservation is integrated with the urban development and in turn its possible contribution to the urban development of core city area of Chowk, Lucknow. The paper concluded with establishing a relationship between the tangible and intangible assets of the heritage of the core area of Chowk, Lucknow. It proposes a methodology towards conserving the cultural heritage of Chowk in today's context.

Resilience is regarded as a capacity to adapt to the dynamic condition as a management to avoid disturbance and disaster. All this time, resilience is always embedded in local people's values. Actually in the tourism case, there is a resilience approach to avoid the disaster because of tourism activities or over tourism case. Tourist visits have created problems when local people or spatial spaces are unable to accommodate tourist needs. Based on this phenomenon today, it is important to focus on resilience thinking on tourist area, especially in this case cultural landscape heritage area. Resilience must be understood as the main aspect to explore the potential and the capability to adapt to the dynamic condition that is always changing. In architecture and planning approach, spatial is a human space that can show an interaction between human and nature with culture as media and all of them must be regarded as a holistic system with equilibrium and balance. In this study, the definition of resilience was explored by content analysis based on exploration of many texts in journals and books. It was then discussed by dialog theory between tourist, cultural landscape and resilience. Understanding resilience of cultural landscape with content analysis will create several conclusions that can become reference to tourism cases. To support the theory, this paper described one case of a tourist area chosen as national tourism destination that is Toba Lake area in North Sumatera.

Students at the public primary schools in Medan city, Indonesia, complete 90% of their learning activities in the same classroom, which, in order to save energy, utilises natural ventilation to obtain thermal comfort and fresh air for indoor air quality, which is the physical school environment that impacts the students' achievement. Air temperature is a crucial factor that influences thermal comfort, while the CO₂ concentration determines the quality of fresh air. This paper aims to describe air temperature and the CO₂ concentration in an occupied naturally cross-ventilated classroom in a hot and humid tropical climate, in Medan city, Indonesia. The air temperature and CO₂ level were simultaneously monitored for four days during the students' lesson hours in a school classroom that complies with the regulations of the Ministry of Education of Indonesia about the infrastructure standards for elementary, junior high, and senior high schools. The results of this study showed that air temperature in the classroom exceeded the comfortable temperature, while the median CO₂ concentration was below 1000 ppm as recommended by ASHRAE and WHO.

Not every traditional market is equipped with sufficient waste processing utility system. The waste treatment system in Indonesia consists of five stages that include: (1) storage, (2) collection, (3) transfer, (4) transportation and (5) disposal system. Each stage involves a storage container with various capacities and different movement patterns for each processing system. Currently, merchants determine the storage placements and processing paths that depend on the market management. In general, they place them freely, not only in their stand but also in circulation space which then affected the human movement. A set of data collection, observation, and mapping were carried out in two traditional markets in Jakarta and three traditional markets in Depok. This study was aimed to identify the human movement patterns with regards to the positions of the utility system. Findings revealed two factors that influenced the human movement. Those were the availability of space in advance (the compatibility between spaces and properties of the containers), and the circulation paths (the process of waste treatment at the circulation paths that influenced human movement at certain times).

The riverside settlements in Palembang are located in wetlands in the form of tidal swamps. This natural condition affects the formation of the urban spatial patterns because all local people activities are carried out on swamp land. Studies on the urban spatial patterns of riverside settlements are intended to obtain the consideration in wetland urban spatial planning, especially in Zoning Regulations, as a tool in building permision. The research method was a case study method consisting of field research and questionnaires distributed to the local community. The location took place in three riverside settlements. The analysis used descriptive analysis for field survey result and likert scale measurements for questionnaire result. The analysis showed that the riverside settlements had unique characteristics because most of the people activities took place above the water. The boundaries of neighborhood units were formed by rivers and roads. The patterns of villages and buildings had two orientations: the road and to the river. The urban spatial patterns in riverside settlement consisted of three patterns: linear patterns, grid patterns, cluster patterns and combinations, due to the natural conditions and the limitations of the material used to form the structure of the road. Buildings and roads in the area were made above the water (on stilts structure), and the height of the stilts considered the water level at the highest tide. The results of this study could be used as consideration in determining the design criteria of urban spatial planning in the riverside settlement.

Rivers have immense benefits for the environment and community. They become one of the water resources for the community and an option for community recreation area. Rivers also provide habitat and balance the ecosystem for the environment. Currently, the community is neglecting many rivers in that their water becomes polluted and unusable. This is the reason behind the existence of riverbank development, including in Cisadane Riverside located in Tangerang, Indonesia. This study was carried out in Cisadane Riverside to observe and analyse the elements that constructed the riverbank as public facilities toward sustainable pillars: environment, social and economy for urban sustainability. Observation and interview were conducted in six zones along the Cisadane Riverside. Regarding the riverbank development, it is important to pay attention to the environmental aspect to maintain the urban ecology while achieving the social and economic aspects. In conclusion, the riverbank development that considered the integrated environment, social and economic aspects would create the activity and interaction space for supporting both the urban sustainability particularly for the riverbank itself. The result of this study would be used as the reference for riverfront development towards urban sustainability in Indonesia.

The problem of wood durability is closely related to the degradation mechanism that can be distinguished into mechanical, physical, biological, and chemical degradation. The most affecting combination of degradation in modelling the durability of wood structures is a combination of mechanical and biological. The durability model of wood structure reviewed was based on a model developed by CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization), Australia. Parameters taken into account in the model included physical wood, climate, coating paint, thickness, width, connection, and geometry parameters. The model predicted a decay rate for timber installed in-ground and timber above-ground. The results of this study were expected to provide a preliminary description of the behavior of the durability of wood structures based on several parameters adapted based on environmental conditions in Indonesia.

At present many people live within the cities and more than 30% of all city dwellers live in slums or marginal areas. It is internationally recognized by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), which set as the first target of SDG 11 to ensure, by 2030, access to all to adequate, safe and affordable housing, to ensure access to basic services and to improve slums. Cities need large spaces and are the main source of wealth and the center of innovation, culture and politics. Obviously, they have become the most important arena of humanity. Today, in most cities in the world, forms of urbanism develop side by side in the same urban space. This situaton happens also in other cities in developing countries including Indonesia. This paper will discuss about the patterns of informal urban space utilization carried out by low-income communities. The method used is conducting field surveys and observing objects that have been determined directly in some cities. By discovering the pattern of informal use of urban space, it can be formulated as how low-income communities use the urban space to settle and business informally. Based on the formulation that has been made, a planning and design method is developed which can later be proposed as a sustainable development strategy for improving urban areas occupied by low income people.

TOD is an urban development approach that integrates mixed spatial planning including housing, shops, markets, sports facilities, offices, open spaces and public facilities with mass transportation, such as buses, trains and equipped with pedestrian or bicycle lanes. The congestion problem that occurs in Jakarta can be reduced by TOD on the supporting area that has a significant impact on environmental pollution, high social costs, and energy waste. The problem arises because there is no balance between transportation needs and the provision of facilities and infrastructure, thus it ultimately impacts changes in land use. This research focuses on the area around the Tanjung Barat station, where apartments are being built with the TOD concept. The research method employed a qualitative descriptive approach. The data used were primary and secondary data. The results of research indicate that the construction of Tanjung Barat TOD is a dilemma for DKI Jakarta Government, because it has the potential to violate spatial rules. In addition, a congestion level that occurs can increase, although the government expects that with Tanjung Barat TOD, congestion levels can be reduced because passengers who live in TOD apartments switch to public transportation modes.

Heritage buildings are one of the main concerns in urban development planning and they consequently affect the building code as well. Such concerns were found in many redevelopment projects in a sizeable number of countries aside from Europe and Asia. Strategies, decisions, ways and dilemmas were approached and other points were used as lessons for other projects with similar or even quite different contexts and sizes worldwide. Although Semarang has a specific regulation that protects its heritage buildings, the awareness of the local government and people is still not adequate. This research showed that strategic planning was that was implemented in heritage buildings in some other countries made the buildings become more useful and conserve their authentic value. By studying different cases from different countries, this paper also presented the strategies in regards to heritage building. Suggested also in this paper, that stakeholder's involvement is crucial in decision-making process.

Recent efforts of restoration on the Muslim religious sites in Jakarta take place in several old mosques that were built around the old settlements (kampung) of creole communities in Pekojan. This historic kampung is situated on the western fringe of Jakarta Old Town since eighteenth century and adjacent to the other diverse ethnic groups' neighbourhood. The challenges emerge when the old mosque continues to expand its space volumes and adapt to accommodate the users' needs and so the expansion impacts the ethics of restoration. This research specifically took a case study in Jami Mosque of Kampung Baru as one of the heritage mosques built in Pekojan. The early process of the documentation and historical research found various levels of deteriorations and extensions in the building. By applying participatory action research, it showed the early efforts of restoration led by locals. This research also concerned with the responsibility of the owners, functionaries, community officials, and users towards the cultural heritage to be contested. It also extended the conceptual meaning of "ownership" of cultural heritage by definition in terms of religious building in Indonesia.

The New Urban Agenda (NUA) will focus on the Smart City and Sustainable City as influential forces within urban development over the next 20 years. What constitutes a Smart and Sustainable reflects the peculiarities of contexts, needs, interests and approaches to urban development in different countries and regions of the world. Indonesia, for example has adopted a fairly broad approach to smart and sustainability, which extends beyond ICT infrastructure to include local development and community initiatives that aim to improve urban environments, economics and lives. Yet, none has examined the relationship between the model of Smart and Sustainability in the context of settlement-built environment. This paper is based on results of an interdisciplinary research project on "Kampung Innovation in Support of Smart City". In the project, architects and anthropologists are collaboratively investigating creative and innovative ventures initiated by Kampung communities in Surabaya. In this paper, we present data gathered to date through participant observation and interviews, and discuss its analysis using six components of the Smart City which highlights the Human Driven Approach (HDM) approach. Findings reveal that these kampung communities are making important contributions to Surabaya's development as both smart and sustainable city through creative and innovative approaches to meeting local economic, social and cultural needs in their settlement.

This paper presents the resilience phenomenon of Chinese Settlement that faces the political policies and economic activities in Lasem. The political and economic conditions that have lasted for centuries do not influenced the resilience of the culture and architecture of Lasem Chinese Settlement. The resilience of Lasem Chinese Settlement is reflected in several temples with their original and unique architectural design that has been around for hundreds of years. They become artefacts that remain resistant to change and have their own meaning for Lasem Chinese community. The purpose of this study is to determine the resilience phenomenon of Lasem Chinese Settlement. This research is expected to provide knowledge about the activities, functions, and values of space and form that play a role in maintaining human existence as its inhabitants. This study employed a qualitative approach that was based on the naturalistic paradigm with an inductive method. The end of the research conclusion was to build local knowledge from the field of study. The result of the research showed that the Chinese Settlement was able to adjust to the political and economic development. The resilience of space and form of Lasem Chinese Settlement can be viewed by the ability of settlement, public and religious spaces in maintaining human existence as its inhabitants. The resilience grows from the socio-cultural values and gives Lasem city sense of place and local identification that remains resistance.

The joglo building has symbolic meanings and a high cost to build, so it is only applied to several public buildings (pendopo, office, museum, etc.) owned by the rich people, that its existence as a house is difficult to survive. The number of joglo houses in various places does not increase (even decrease), but it does not occur in the Kampung Joglo, Pondokrejo, Rembang. There is an anomaly where the number of joglo houses can survive and even increase from year to year. With this potential, this study examined the existing joglo houses owned by Javanese farmers. The research methodology was carried out in a qualitative descriptive manner through the measurement of field data, which was then analysed and described. The results showed that the shapes of roofs were Joglo, Wedhok/Bekuk Lulang (Kampung), Paris (Limasan) and Sinom. In this case, Joglo houses owned by farm families were about 199 homes or 47%. The joglo roof is the essential shape that has always been preserved by the residents. They aspire to build the joglo if they are financially capable. The results of this study also revealed that the joglo house did not only belong to the royal families or officers who lived in urban areas (negarigung) and coastal trader regions (pesisir) but actually, there were many farmers in rural areas (mancanegari) who owned joglo houses too. This study acknowledged the importance of the joglo houses in Pondokrejo that could be preserved eventually.

This paper focuses on the identification of layer mapping of Kota Lama Semarang through chronological development within decades of its construction since the early 17th century. The site was first settled as a relatively small fortress, changed into a massive huge fortress city, and underwent the demolition of the outer wall in order to face modernization and the Nederlandsch Indische hegemony in Indonesia. The newest layer of the map would be posted in the Indonesian independence era, where some major changes were applied in this area.

After reviewing the history of ideologies in conservation, as qualitative research with the descriptive-analytic approach, this article employed heuristic method as its main approach.

This article only discusses one aspect of the Historic Urban Landscape, which is the identification of layer mapping of the Oud Stad area through its chronological development from the 17th to 21st century. The other approaches would be recommended to further research as stated in the conclusion.

The primary apprehension of this article is to examine the efficient and complete approach to preserving the urban heritage that complements the values and the ongoing traditions of the local dwellers.

Thermal comfort is one of the very important factors in enhancing the human quality of life, including students who spend a lot of times learning in schools. This article was intended to analyze the students' adaptive thermal comfort in naturally ventilated classrooms of the elementary schools in the tropical city of Makassar. The study analyzed data gathered from 33 surveyed classrooms in six primary schools. The recorded data consisted of the personal and adaptive behavior of 1,111 students, and the thermal environments of the classrooms. At the same time, students filled out the questionnaires asking their thermal sensation, comfort level, and thermal preferences against the classrooms' thermal environments. The results of measurements showed that the indoor mean air temperature, air humidity, and air velocity were 30.4 °C, 68%, and 0.1 m/s, respectively. They indicated that the classrooms had the hot temperature, high humidity, and low air velocity. The calculated PMV based on these parameters showed that about 90% of students felt either warm (+2) or hot (+3). The PMV overestimated the actual students' thermal comfort where more than 85% of students voted slightly cool (-1), neutral (0), and slightly warm (+1). In addition, the neutral temperature predicted by PMV was 25.5 °C. This neutral temperature was very low in comparison to 30.2 °C calculated by using thermal sensation vote (TSV). These suggested that students of elementary schools in the tropic were tolerant to the hot environment. The use of the adaptive models to calculate the neutral temperature of students presented similar results gathered from actual votes. Therefore, the adaptive model became the best method to explain the thermal comfort of students in the elementary schools in the tropics.

The development of station architecture in Indonesia was preceded by railroad transportation technology developed by the Dutch as a colonial state in the 19^th century. In 1867 the Dutch government established the first line connecting Semarang to Yogyakarta. In Yogyakarta Province the development of NIS stations was driven by the growth of the sugar industry at that time. The Yogyakarta-Bantul railroad initially had 12 stations, but only five stations remained, namely Ngabean Station, Dongkelan Station, Winongo Station, Bantul Station, dan Palbapang Station. This study aimed to investigate the differences in façade characters of the Yogyakarta-Bantul NIS stations in more detail. It employed qualitative research methods with a rationalistic paradigm approach. Results revealed the characters in the transitional era where the buildings still had a terrace with simple pillars, a gable roof with a wide overhang with angles ranging from 40-45 degrees, decorative wall elements in the form of "arch" and clear geometri lines. In contrast, the stations with the post-independence Indies architecture no longer had a terrace but they had a limasan roof with angles ranging from 50-60 degrees, decorative elements of the wall in the form of simple geometric lines and stone fragments as wallcoverings. Experimental formations appeared on trapezoid-shaped doors and circular vents.

The purpose of this article is to examine an analyzing procedures for reading the meaning of culture's architectural work in a living heritage. Culture and architecture are inseparable parts. Architecture is composed of combination of signs ordered by certain codes that should be known and understood. Semiotic is a method that places architecture in a sign system, which follows to certain rules of the game. The predicate of an architectural work in the living heritage was more than just a monument, but it proceeds of living side by side with humans. The Semiotic procedure could be used to read its meaning by adding a stage of understanding. Using analytical-descriptive methods to investigate theoretical views, to explain semiotic analysis techniques, and to present of interview results, with the case of the Carahulu Komering house in Palembang South Sumatra. The views of semiotic architecture emphasize on the structure of signs, symbols and also gave attention to the process of meaning. However, in the case of investigation in a living heritage is needed placing signs and symbols as a human's work should be understood, not merely as a fact which is seen as an object only. In this way a communication to the actors as subject was needed. The result shows this procedure could answer the culture's architectural work meanings understood by its community as well as in general.

Nowadays, numerous large cities in Indonesia are intensively providing urban public spaces. One of the famous public open spaces in Semarang City is the Simpang Lima area that serves as not only a public interaction space, but also a landmark of the city. Its visitors who come from various ages carry out activities in the daily and weekly times as they sit, discuss and interact with others. In addition, this public space is also used as a media for expressing ideas or interests of a group of users, such as groups with certain hobbies. The tendency of preference towards the use of public space is strongly influenced by one's psychological attachment to space and place identity. This study aimed to examine the substance of place attachment and place identity through the ability of the community mental map. This study employed a phenomenological and functional approach, namely the disclosure of the ability of the community mental map through the technique of drawing sketches of areas that they understood and recognized and then supplemented by in-depth interviews. The results of the study illustrated that the attachment of places by users depended on their experience when visiting in this public space and the characteristics of the place identity of this public space.
