With the increasing public awareness of the human relations system with the surrounding environment, communities are beginning to shift towards better sources and methods to help improve the environment. One of the methods that began to be utilized is the application of green roof construction. There are many benefits for installing a green roof whether it is in a home or office building. The study was conducted on applicable green roof construction, the benefits of installing a green roof and a process run for a green roof installation with a construction approach applicable to urban housing buildings in Jakarta and on cost analysis on material requirements and installation. And in its efforts to reduce rainwater runoff. Green roof as one in the management of rainwater in urban areas. From the result of the research resulted the calculation on survey location percentage of runoff decrease 26%. While in the test object / mock-up there is a reduction of 95% runoff volume. It can be concluded that the use of a green roof / roof garden can reduce the runoff volume produced by rainwater, resulting in reduced surface runoff automatically reduced. This will also reduce the drainage-drainage burden of the city in accommodating water. The Roof Garden plays a role in the management of rainwater management to cope with puddles up to the danger of flooding

Urban densification and climate change are creating a multitude of issues for cities around the globe. Contributing factors include increased impervious surfaces that result in poor stormwater management, rising urban temperatures, poor air quality, and a lack of available green space. In the context of volatile weather, there are growing concerns regarding the effects of increased intense rainfalls and how they affect highly populated areas. Green roofs are becoming a stormwater management tool, occupying a growing area of urban roof space in many developed cities. In addition to the water-centric approach to the implementation of green roofs, these systems offer a multitude of benefits across the urban water–energy–food nexus. This paper provides insight to green roof systems available that can be utilized as tools to mitigate the effects of climate change in urbanized areas. A new array of green roof testing modules is presented along with research methods employed to address current issues related to food, energy and water performance optimization. Rainwater runoff after three rain events was observed to be reduced commensurate with the presence of a blue roof retention membrane in the testbed, the growing media depth and type, as well as the productive nature of the plants in the testbed. Preliminary observations indicate that more productive green roof systems may have increasingly positive benefits across the water–energy–food nexus in dense urban areas that are vulnerable to climate disruption.

The ecological, social and visual commitments that green roofs can make towards sustainable living in more intensified urban centres are generally recognized around the world. Green roof is one such sustainable methodology, utilization of which causes us in insulating the buildings and, subsequently contributing to better energy proficient execution of the same. Green roofs additionally give environment to various species, lessen the rainwater runoff and better deal with the carbon-dioxide cycle. In spite of these advantages, Green roofs are not as basic an element in India as they are in other European and American urban areas. In this paper an attempt has been made to enhance the advantages of this innovation in India. Green roofs systems looks simple in terms of setting up, but actually very complex in maintaining and achieving sustainability. In depth study of green roofs, historic background, climatic zones, impacts of green roofs on heating and cooling, benefits, problems and opportunities is done with the help of data taken from secondary sources like books, magazines and published literature (articles, journals, conference proceedings) form various e-libraries and other online platforms.

The City

The city of Kigali has been experiencing rapid growth in recent years. The city enjoys a variety of natural features such as wetland, valley, hill, and great scenery, however, fast expansion of urban areas and human activities could pose a serious threat to the natural environment, and the ecological sustainability. While wetlands, as nature’s kidneys, bring obvious benefits to both ecology and the socioeconomic environment, they have currently faced several problems in Kigali, such as pollution and the risk of decline in the area. This research is aimed at protection of wetland areas through landscape design, which could have a positive influence on maintaining the natural balance of ecology, as well as citizens’ health and well-being. The site study was Kiyovu wetland as one of large wetlands playing a vital role in the city’s character and spatial structure. The research employed observation, questionnaire, and mapping techniques, and the random sample consisted of 37 residents, workers, passers-by, and young people. Findings revealed that safety, environmental issues, accessibility, recreational activities, and quality of the wetland, were significant factors in order of priority that respondents had stressed over the design of the wetland landscape concept. The proposed concept highlighted recreation areas and the connection with other wetlands and green areas as a whole in the city, and it was derived from survey, mapping the results of questionnaires, and feedback from participants. In conclusion, Kiyovu wetland has an enormous capacity to put the idea of green magnet into effect across the city. However, the protection of wetlands without 1. Site-specific ecological landscape plans representing strategic and design levels in periods of time, 2. Legal requirements, and 3. Public awareness about impacts of wetlands degradation would be far less effective. To set up a campaign and a task force to examine changes can make a huge difference to levels of progress and performance

Climate Resilience

Climate change is affecting urban areas by increasing the intensity and frequency of climate-related disasters such as flooding, sea level rise, drought, etc. The trend is expected to rise significantly without proper intervention. Urban housings as the concentration of people and economic growth are the most impacted. This condition calls to study green infrastructure/GI strategies as a more sustainable way than the conventional. Such GI approach not only mitigate and adapt the impacts but also improve the urban climate resilience, particularly in the housing sector. Therefore, this study aims to propose a conceptual framework to integrate the elements for the implementation of GI for mitigating and adapting climate impact for urban resilience improvement. This study identified elements to employ GI for housing climate resilience: public awareness; land use and development regulation; land and property acquisition; environmental management plan; housing strategy; fiscal and taxation; and governance. This framework is a new tool for scoping and assessing urban housing vulnerability to climate change by helping stakeholders to systematically consider the benefit to introduce GI scheme in respective efforts.

Changing the water permeability ratio of urban underlying surface helps alleviate urban flood. This paper designs the swale identification experiment to modify the flood-submerging simulation experiment based on the SCS-CN model and proves that the results generated by the modified experiment better reflect the realities. The modified flood-submerging simulation experiment is then applied to downtown Wuhan to obtain the quantitative data. The data are used to quantify the catchment capacities of the lots. Based on the rainfall collection capacities, the maximum surface rainfall runoff volume that would not cause flood is arrived at using the rainfall runoff formula. The maximum runoff volume represents the rainwater storage capacities of the lot based on the proportion of the green space that is identified within the study area. The results suggest that this rainwater storage capacity evaluation model works efficiently to identify the urban areas with flood risks and provides the rainwater runoff thresholds for different areas. Adjustments in the spatial patterns and proportions of the green space help ensure that the rainwater runoff volume is below the thresholds, thus contributing to the prevention and control of the urban flood risks.

Over the past decade, urban housing typologies have evolved from being a feature of modern life to an essential postmodern issue, questioning future housing identities. One of the ways in which architecture can become engaged in this ever-changing process of urban regeneration is to challenge the inherited traditional housing typologies with the newly recognized values of contemporary lifestyle. This paper presents research and design aimed at exploring contemporary sustainable urban lifestyles as a resource for positioning housing structures as cultural urban infrastructure. The main focus of this study is design principles and strategies for generating future housing identities in accordance with sustainable urban development and sustainability of life in urban areas. It is about finding housing conceptual models for an interaction between housing and identity as a response to the impact of increased cities, changed lifestyles in contemporary cities and the requirements for the preservation of the city image and the public space within the housing areas in the city center. The main goal of this study is to understand whether and how an architectural design can preserve a sustainability of life within the city center and become a valuable agent of place identity in the process of urban regeneration. The paper indicates that the contemporary development of society requires a new architectural paradigm, in which lifestyle and architecture create a unique elastic open-ended system with the ability to adapt and change over time and throughout the place.

The role of local government is needed in improving services and awareness to increase the fulfillment of birth certificates. As of March 2019, the coverage of birth certificate ownership in Banten province only reached 78.24%, which is below the national average of 88.66%. This study aims to find out the problem of the low coverage of birth certificate ownership in the Banten Province, specifically in the City of Serang and Serang District. This research uses quantitative and qualitative methods, conducted from April to June 2019. The results showed the factors causing the low ownership of birth certificates in Serang City were the lack of public awareness in urban areas to have a birth certificate and the non-optimal presence of SMARTDUKCAPIL as an online-based population administration service application. Whereas in Serang District, the distance of the sub-district to the district capital and lack of presence of the Disdukcapil UPT in each district were the main factors. The strategy that can be implemented are developing human resources, optimizing and developing facilities and infrastructure, increasing cooperation networks, and increasing public awareness ABSTRAK Peran Pemerintah Daerah sangat dibutuhkan dalam peningkatan pelayanan dan peningkatan kesadaran keluarga untuk peningkatan pemenuhan cakupan kepemilikan akta kelahiran. Gambaran masih rendahnya cakupan kepemilikan akta kelahiran terjadi di wilayah provinsi Banten. Sampai dengan bulan Maret 2019, cakupan kepemilikan Akta Kelahiran di wilayah Provinsi Banten baru mencapai 78,24% jauh di bawah rata-rata nasional yang mencapai 88,66%. Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif dengan pendekatan kuantitatif dan kualitatif (mix methode), dilaksanakan pada bulan April sampai dengan Juni 2019. Pengumpulan data dan informasi dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam (indepth-interview) dengan informan yang berasal dari Pemerintah Provinsi Banten serta Pemerintah Kabupaten Serang dan Kota Serang. Selain itu dilakukan studi literatur dan telaahan dokumen yang relevan dengan permasalahan penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukan sampai dengan bulan mei 2019 cakupan kepemilikan akta kelahiran usia 0 – 18 tahun di wilayah Kabupaten Serang baru mencapai 69,88%. Kecamatan Cinangka dan Tanara merupakan daerah di Kabupaten Serang yang cakupan kepemilikan akta kelahiran usia 0 – 18 tahun paling kecil. Sampai dengan bulan mei 2019, cakupan kepemilikan akta kelahiran di wilayah ini baru mencapai 54,01% dan 55,69%. Cakupan akta kelahiran penduduk usia 0- 18 di wilayah Kota Serang baru mencapai 80,44%.  Kecamatan Serang merupakan wilayah dengan cakupan kepemilikan akta kelahiran usia 0 – 18 paling kecil diantara wilayah lainnya (hanya 76,56%). Jarak bukan merupakan faktor penghambat kepemilikan akta kelahiran di Kota Serang. Hasil analisis regresi korelasi memperlihatkan kecenderungan semakin jauh jarak kecamatan dari pusat kota semakin tinggi cakupan kepemilikan akta kelahirannya. Kondisi ini berbanding terbalik dengan Kabupaten Serang yang menunjukan bahwa jarak kecamatan dengan ibu kota Kabupaten mempengaruhi cakupan kepemilikan akta kelahiran.

In Finland, maximising urban land value has often resulted in urban housing with increased efficiency. This study highlights how increased building efficiency can lead to reduced living environment quality, manifesting in for example deep plan plans with limited opportunities for dwellers to adapt spaces to meet their changing needs over time. Within the Finnish urban housing context, this study evaluates the adaptation potential of two case study apartment buildings, with seven apartments studied in more detail. These cases represent a broader set of housing cases finished in 2019 or planned to be constructed in 2020–2022 in Finland's largest urban areas. Illustrated by comparative building and apartment plans, the findings indicate that the selected cases generally lack much capacity to accommodate change, but this can be improved with fairly simple spatial modifications with the same apartment number and size. It was also highlighted that in some cases there may be broader implications for the land use, and the city plan. The implications of the findings draw out a discussion about the inter-relationship between housing adaptability, dwelling quality and apartment type, building typology and urban housing block design at the city plan level.
