Published: May 2020

The community of Gurusina kampong built their traditional houses by exploiting the potential of the local natural environment. Currently, timber and bamboo as Sao construction materials tend to be increasingly scarce, which leads to the extinction of Sao and entails to the unknown details by future generations. This paper aims to measure the components of Sao construction from the aspects of material strength and energy consumption based on sustainability principles. The method used is descriptive qualitative by using verbal information and numerical data through interviews and direct measurements so we used Value Engineering Analysis the formula of Kirk & Dell’Isola (1995). The results of the research highlight that the use of timber species of Oja and Fai for the construction of Sao has a longer strength life and contains low energy in terms of building process and transportation compared to other types of material. In anticipating the scarcity of these two types of material and in reviewing the types of timber to be used in spaces other than One, we suggest to use Kelapa timber and Betho bamboo as other renewable materials which are also efficient in terms of energy use and strength.

Published: May 2020

Mekar Bakti, a village in Panongan regency, is located beside Citra, a more modern urban housing complex. This contrast engenders a threat to Mekar Bakti, as their more traditional culture and identity are getting eroded as modern culture invades the daily lives of its residents. In a tangible sense, it brings misunderstanding on the function and ownership of the public facilities such as the children playground, as some of the residents think that it belongs to Citra. The reason for this is because there is no strong visible spatial identity on these facilities, and it affects Mekar Bakti resident’s perception and sense of belonging towards these facilities. Using Participatory Action Research method, combined with Design Thinking and narrative approach, the design team conducted a research and design solution to this visual identity problem. This method allows both the qualitative aspect (visual innovation) and quantitative aspect (improving social life) to be investigated. In the end, a visual identity based on the culture and local wisdom of Mekar Bakti village residents were created for the public children playground in that village. This strategy and result could be used as a model towards a similar problem in other villages.

Published: May 2020

Indonesia is a maritime country with 17,508 islands endowed with great fisheries resource. Fishery resource makes Indonesia in a strategic position. Belawan is a port area in Medan. Geographically, the Port of Belawan is the biggest resource for fishing. So Belawan becomes the busiest port in Medan for fish commodity trading and supports the economy of the region. However, illegal fishing in Indonesian waters has a direct impact on the economy, especially fisherman and fish traders in Belawan. This study uses a normative juridical approach. The results show that several issues in handling illegal fishing crime still occur even though Law No. 31 of 2004 already existed and was strengthened by Law No. 45 of 2009 concerning Illegal Fishing Crime. This study revealed that there is no difference toward the imposition of penalties against the perpetrators of illegal fishing between “individual” and “corporations”. Indonesia still adheres to the system of liability in which corporations act as responsible makers and administrators. The condition does not seem comparable to the effects of crime committed. This illegal fishing crime also has an economic impact on the income of fisherman and local governments, especially Medan, which comes from the fisheries and marine sector.

Every person who commits an unlawful act that results in a loss to another party or another person should be punished by law and provide compensation for the loss it has caused. Although the unlawful act is classified into the realm of criminal law, the resolution may also be done using legal provisions contained in civil law, based on the provisions of Article 1365 of the Civil Code of Republic of Indonesia. Alternative Dispute Settlement in the form of compensation for traffic accidents can be carried-out provided the victim does not experience serious injuries or death. The Indonesian police forces, in general, only facilitate both parties in resolving accident cases. Furthermore, if the case reaches the court level, then the outcome of the peace agreement can still be considered by the presiding judge before he or she delivers a permanent legal decision. In this research, it is shown the effectiveness of alternative dispute resolution in traffic accidents to help law enforcement officers to overcome the backlog in processing cases due to the limitation of resources in the police department especially in the jurisdiction of Sumatera Utara Province.

Mechanism of value capture on gated community housing by developers in Jakarta Metropolitan Area
Authors: CLubis E B , Gamal A
Published: May 2020

We reviewed the state of the art on gated community development, property valuation, and value capture literature to discuss how gated housing serves as a mechanism for land value capture by developers. Land value capture, instead of measures such as urban fears and segregation, justifies developers’ action to build impenetrable walls around their residential development projects. Previous works on housing markets in JMR suggests that housing products tend to be overpriced. We found early indications that enclosing physical boundaries on housing projects were positively correlated to residential price growth in Jakarta Metropolitan Regional (JMR). We used a study case embedded design for this initial research with mixed analysis data method. Our results show and argue that the real estate developers’ motive to install walls and gates in their residential projects is to enhance the existing land value. The ratio of land value on housing inside the gated area is 1,5 up to 7 times more higher than the surrounding area outside the gate. Our study helps to develop an understanding of the motive behind the gating trends in housing development projects. All of the information is substantially useful to help public sector working on managed residential land sustainably.

Published: May 2020

Minimizing greenhouse gas (GHG) emission has become a priority in campus around the world. For example Trisakti University in Jakarta, Indonesia, is currently developing green campus. In developing a green campus, the identification of the existing problem becomes necessary. One aspect of that problem is of GHG emission. Carbon Footprint (CFP) is an indicator of how much GHG emission produced in a campus.. We use six sources of emission to estimate CFP of a campus, i.e., fuel usages (Scope-1), electricity, air conditioning (Scope-2), commuting, wastes, food and other materials (Scope-3). From the data collected at Campus A of Trisakti University in 2018, the total CFP in the campus is 999,571.60kgCO2eq/month. From the total CFP, 84.47% (844,325.52 kgCO2eq/month) derives from Scope-3 consisting mainly of CFP produced from commuting process (53.38 %). With the development of Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Phase-2, we expected the students and the staff, as well as the faculties of Trisakti University will change their mode of transportation from using a private vehicle to using MRT and will eventually decrease the CFP of Scope-3 from 84.47% to 76.97%. Whereas, we propose a five-year plan for Scope-1 and Scope-2 in terms of reducing CFP into 26.22% from the total of CFP at Campus A of Trisakti University in 2018.

Published: May 2020

Physical urban conditions are interrelated with urban individuals in urban’s life. If the urban’s condition is out of tolerance, individuals in urban areas can feel stressed (Rishi and Khuntia, 2012). Facing that, humans need a place to reduce stressful feelings –by doing activities in the cafe as a third place (Oldenburg, 1989). “Experienced Selling” is the priority in creating cafes with specific design, it can provide customer satisfaction (Agarwal, 2009). Psychologically humans have a strong tendency towards nature according to the concept of Biophilia (Wilson, 1984). In response to these human needs, Kellert (2013) introduced biophilic design as an application of the concept of biophilia in design. Biophilic design is an attempt to understand the understanding of human interest inherent in dealing with natural systems and processes into the design of the built environment (Heerwagen, et al., 2013). With the application of biophilic designs in cafes, it is assumed that the café’s visitors will stay longer. This research aims to determine the influence of biophilic design applications to visitor’s duration of stay in café by examining biophilic patterns applied, type of activity and visitor’s duration of stay in Semusim coffee garden and Brownstones coffee in Bintaro.

Published: May 2020

According to the United Nations Environment Programme, buildings account for nearly half of the world’s energy expenditures, 40% of greenhouse gas emissions, 25% of the earth’s potable water, and, in developed countries, over 20% of all solid waste generated (including food waste, yard waste and unrecycled materials). Reuse of used materials as one of the building materials is becoming a global trend in the world of architecture. It aims to minimize the damage to nature when producing new materials. The Microlibrary Bima is one example of a building that reuses plastic as a building facade. The writing of this thesis aims to understand how plastic material can be suitable as a building facade. This paper presents an analysis of case studies in library interior spaces with a focus on plastic material as building facades. This thesis demonstrates a design approach in terms of material and the presence of building facades. This study explores the use of plastic material in building facades.

Published: May 2020

In many developing cities, like Medan, the state of public transportation is considered inadequate and limited to paratransit, locally known as ‘angkot.’ While advanced mass transit systems are still far in the future, improving the paratransit is arguably the most plausible supporting solution at the moment. Paratransit users in Medan have reported to our study that reliability is one of their sources of disappointment. Technological development nowadays should ease the problem through the quality of real-time information provision. In this preliminary study, we conducted surveys to explore users’ perspective and desire for transit information services. Questionnaire responses from 350 tech-savvy users were collected from several centers of activity and terminals. It is as expected that most respondents experienced uncertainty using the current paratransit, and acknowledged the importance of having information services. Further result shows the user’s high expectancy towards information related to fleet location and arriving time estimation. In general, users were willing to use information services if provided regardless of the additional costs. This preliminary study gives a meaningful view of the opportunity to improve public likeness to this local paratransit service. This research is part of research on perception and preference of paratransit user on real-time information provision.

Authors: Fauzi Fachrian Nabil , Herlily
Published: May 2020

Transit-Oriented Development is becoming a catchphrase nowadays in metropolitan areas – especially Jakarta – since the operation of rapid mass transit. TOD - as an abbreviation of Transit-Oriented Development –is a transit-oriented development of an urban area, there has been a misconception that it is a middle upper-class mixed-use superblock development around stations by developers. The significance of dwelling and living around TOD are being neglected since these areas are inhabited by the working class. The kampungs are now being transformed into the so-called ideal TODs by developers and evicting the original dwellers who have been there all their lives. This paper will explore the potential of kampung as one of the living typologies of Transit-Oriented Development. Methods used in this research are literature study, areal circulation simulations, case study as to collect field observation to observe the building increments and locals’ interview to obtain a clear view of the locals’ perception towards their area. The case study of Kampung Muka, North Jakarta, was chosen because of its proximity to Jakarta Kota and Kampung Bandan Stations. In this observation, Kampung Muka has the potential to be classified as transit-oriented development.

Walkability in Banda Aceh: An approach in urban mobility development
Authors: Nasution Mufti Ali
Published: May 2020

Banda Aceh starts to develop the city transportation system by introducing bus “Trans Koetaradja” in 2016. It is one of the government actions to accommodate people to move within the city and expected to solve and prevent the city traffic jam that starts to happen in the last decade. On the one hand, the high growth in the number of motor vehicles reveals the needs of the people to commute in the city, however, on the other hand, this situation brings some problem that can affect city life, related to human and environment. For these reasons, early observation and questionnaire indicate that people’s willingness to walk is low due to the factors of the physical environment and local habits. For these reasons, this paper tries to approach the problem with the idea of walkability; understanding the definition of walkability and learning what variables needed to take into account to apply and evaluate the notion, in the more contextual matter through literature studies. It is necessary to consider about walkability development, to support the progress of Banda Aceh forward sustainable development.

Building setback areas in the commercial area have the potential to be social spaces due to its characteristic as an intersection between public and private. In fact, they are mostly used for vehicle mobility and parking. The purpose of building setback is usually related to security consideration, thus the building’s owner tend to make a clear separation between public and private. Building setback areas are interesting to be examined, especially when there are a lot of activities going on in them. Building setback area in Taman Kemang Street is one example which creates some urban pockets with different characteristic. The configuration of urban pockets will make some arrangement of urban void along the street with pedestrian connectivity. Taman Kemang Street has different activities between daytime and night. From the early observation, it is found that there are some actan, setting, and story. Those three elements can be observed and examined further as elements of narration. This paper attempt to find the characteristics of daily activities in building setback areas of Taman Kemang Street and try to read the story through narrative approach. The objective of this research is to get some design recommendation by reading the potential of urban pockets through narrative approach.
Domination in the communal space

Space is an integral aspect of individual identity-forming, group and social. Some incidents at the Fakultas Pertanian (FP), one of 15 faculties in Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU), show the space used as a tool and where students display the identity of the group. Communal space domination becomes a strategy used as a seniority identity. Junior students choose to step away from the senior space. Domination is a form of asymmetric power relations where the dominated subject has limited space to maneuver the choice of action. This dominant group predisposed to structure themselves as group-based social hierarchies and that the major forms of group oppression, prejudice, and discrimination. University is intended as a place where ideas, people, majors, in contrast to the concept of domination occur in the FP area. But senior domination through space strengthening the relationship between alumni after graduate students. By the qualitative research method, the research is done by supervision, questioning and answering with the student repeatedly. This paper explains how the concept of domination of the space succeeded in strengthening the relationship between groups when junior willingly it happened so that the experience of this event is interpreted as a way to build the next relationship.
Affordance of sitting place in parks as a support for passive and active recreation

Public open space in a city must accommodate recreation activity for its citizens. As a recreation place, public open space offers many outdoor activities such as passive recreation and active recreation. The execution of those activities should be accommodated by the physical element at the park. One of the physical aspects that must be there and could accommodate the activity is the sitting place. Sitting place in an open space is not only a place to sit but should trigger another activity to happen. This phenomenon could be explained by affordance theory. Affordance is how the environment provides a lot of possibilities for a human to do an activity with so many different ways. Bintaro Xchange Park and Banteng Field Park are two parks that have some sitting place to accommodate the outdoor activity. This research will be using literature review, observation, and interviewing the park visitors to know how they occupied the space at the sitting place in the park. This study examines how passive and active recreation could happen at the sitting place in the park.

Published: May 2020

The Gagak Hitam Street was implemented in Sub-Regional Planning of Medan City. The Mayor’s Decree changed the land use of Gagak Hitam Street from the special buildings to mix use area between shops and public buildings with a building setback from 15 meters changed to 10 meters. This research aims to determine how the process of physical change and the factors that cause physical land use changes at Gagak Hitam Street Medan in 2003, 2010 and 2017. Urban land use is classified as residential land, government and private offices, schools, health centers and industrial. The research uses qualitative methods with a case study approach that uses purposive sampling. The variables are land use, which can be measured by sub-variables such as land use function, type of activity, building intensity, building height, building setback and government regulations. Research conducted along Gagak Hitam Street is divided into three segments. The segment I (Gatot Subroto Street – Sunggal Street), segment II (Senegal Street - Bungan Asoka Street), segment III (Bunga Asoka Street-Setia Budi Street). This research indicates the process and results of physical land use changes on Gagak Hitam Street, which are used as data for development of the outer ring road area.
Anthropogenic heat implications of Colombo core area development plan

Published: May 2020

Statistics on energy use and built density portrays Colombo as the largest consumer of energy and most significant producer of waste heat in Sri Lanka, and the city is facing extensive growth permitted by current development plans. However, Colombo Core Area is threatened by Urban Heat Island effect (UHI). Anthropogenic heat impact on UHI is crucial and its future trends need to be studied before facilitating further development. In this paper we use Local Climate Zone classification to typify the study area into zones of similar climate. This is then integrated with population data, building electricity consumption and vehicle counts to map anthropogenic heat emission at local scale, under current and projected land-use change in Colombo. Results reveal that building waste heat makes the highest impact, in comparison to vehicle and metabolic heat. Thus, building density change, electricity consumption in each building and projected land use change, could have greater impact on anthropogenic heat flux at neighbourhood scale, which would further exacerbate the UHI problem at city scale.
Preparation and characterization of chromium-copper supported biogenic catalyst from rice husk

Attempt was made to prepare the biogenic catalyst from waste biomass with the support of chromium and copper metals. Metal modified silica catalysts were prepared by incorporating the metals like chromium and copper into silica matrix. In the present work the rice husk samples were pre-treated with different acids and then the samples were subjected to pyrolysis under controlled burning conditions. Pyrolysis operation was carried out at different temperatures in a furnace to get maximum rice husk ash. Ash thus produced was then leached by alkalis. Alkali-leached solution was then titrated with HCl. The silica catalysts thus prepared were characterized by different characterization techniques i.e. BET, SEM, EDX and XRD analysis by which amorphous nature of silica was confirmed. The average surface area and total pore volume were obtained by using N2 adsorption-desorption calculations by BET analysis. Oxidation of styrene was carried out for the prepared metal modified catalyst at different pH levels. The products formed were analysed by GC-MS. A better conversation was found at lower pH. Obtained high surface areas further confirmed the amorphous nature of the prepared sample. Studies on the characteristics-properties of the prepared samples confirmed the catalytic nature implying the development of good biogenic catalyst.
