Globalization and urbanization encourage city policymakers to deal with more challenges and opportunities for the sustainable future. Creating an attractive cityscape surly can increase urban competitiveness. Taipei City is now composed of complex urban systems chaotically enclosed by existing and new urban environments. The city government is attempting to re-shape its cityscape by implementing a series of city regeneration plans and provide new guidelines for architectural engineering, namely “Taipei Beautiful”, considering the improvement of urban landscape, greenery open space, built environments, sustainable campuses and public facilities. Although Taipei Beautiful is an ongoing project, achievements of the current stage have revealed potentials to significantly increase the number of tourists, decrease energy consumption, and promote economic benefits. This study presents an overall review of policies and engineering actions enacted by the city government. Difficulties, challenges, and the role of the city government in affecting architectural engineering are also discussed.

Sustainable urban development leads to the creation of livable cities. The Green Open Space (GOS) of City requires the quality of life requirements to support the ecological, socio-cultural, and urban economic functions. In Indonesia, the provision of GOS is the city government’s responsibility, which has to carried out transparently and implemented with the involvement of stakeholders. The limited funding for the provision and improvement of the quality of GOS by the city government has developed a CSR scheme from the private sector. This CSR governance model enriches the use of CSR in addition to social assistance or charity activities, which can realize for the wider city community. The city government’s role in using CSR models is significant to ensure transparency of costs, accountable design policies, and their implementation and maintenance.

High urbanization rates in cities lead to rapid changes in land uses, particularly in southern cities where population growth is fast. Urban and peri-urban agricultural land is often seen as available space for the city to expand, but at the same time, agricultural land provides many benefits to cities pertaining to food, employment, and eco-services. In this context, there is an urgent need to provide spatial information to support planning in complex urban systems. The challenge is to integrate analysis of agriculture and urban land-cover classes, and of their spatial and functional patterns. This paper takes up this challenge in Antananarivo (Madagascar), where agricultural plots and homes are interlocked and very small. It innovates by using a methodology already tested in rural settings, but never applied to urban environments. The key step of the analysis is to produce landscape zoning based on multisource satellite data to identify agri-urban functional areas within the city, and to explore their relationships. Our results demonstrate that the proposed classification method is well suited for mapping agriculture and urban land cover (overall accuracy = 76.56% for the 20 classes of level 3) in such a complex setting. The systemic analysis of urban agriculture patterns and functions can help policymakers and urban planners to design and build resilient cities.

This study aims to describe the role of the government-private and role of the government-NGO coalition in Green Open Space Based Urban Governance in Makassar City. This type of research is qualitative, research conducted to systematically search for and compile all data obtained, both interview data, field notes and other data that support research. The results of this study indicate that the confidence of the private / private sector in the city government green open space policy is still low because the government's political will problem is that it does not involve all components in the private sector. One of the strategies is optimizing planters in RTR in strategic areas such as in the Untia region. The strategy that is pressed on the private sector is segmentation of activities that can increase green open space. Decisions taken by the private or private sector are based on the mission of the organization itself which has environmental concerns as outlined through CSR programs, the program is not intervened by the city government. Although there have been Regional Regulations Number 3 of 2014 concerning the arrangement and management of green open spaces but not yet assessed WALHI has provided significant progress for the addition of RTH in Makassar Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan peran koalisi pemerintah-swasta dan peran koalisi pemerintah-LSM Dalam Tata Kelola Perkotaan Berbasis Ruang Terbuka Hijau (RTH) di Kota Makassar. Jenis penelitian ini adalah kualitatif, penelitian yang dilakukan untuk mencari dan menyusun secara sistematis seluruh data yang diperoleh baik itu data hasil wawancara, catatan lapangan dan data-data lain yang sifatnya menunjang penelitian. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa keyakinan sektor swasta/privat terhadap kebijakan RTH pemerintah kota masih rendah karena persoalan political will dari pemerintah yang kurang melibatkan seluruh komponen pada sektor swasta. Salah satu strateginya adalah optimalisasi penanam pada RTR Kawasan strategis seperti di Kawasan Untia. Strategi yang ditekan pada pihak swasta adalah segmentasi pada kegiatan yang dapat meningkatkan ruang terbuka hijau. Keputusan yang diambil sektor privat atau swasta adalah berdasarkan misi dari organisasi itu sendiri yang memiliki kepedulian terhadap lingkungan yang dituangkan melalui program CSR, program tersebut tidak mendapat intervensi oleh pemerintah kota. Meskipun telah ada Peraturan Daerah Nomor 3 Tahun 2014 tentang penataan dan pengelolaan ruang terbuka hijau namun belum dinilai WALHI memberikan kemajuan berarti bagi penambahan RTH di Kota Makassar

As time went on, the Museum in the city of Jakarta was still limited. The works exhibited remain the same and tend not to be interactive. Most museums in Jakarta try to show the historical side of Dutch colonialism and their heritage. but there is no museum that discusses how architecture in the city of Jakarta has developed rapidly until now and left its story or history. In the historical exposures of its growth, where the city government alternates and the conditions of its society are very diverse. But in its journey to a more modern era, there needs to be a change to the concept of the museum. The decline in the number of visits to the museum should be a concern that the millennial generation has begun to abandon the trend of traveling to museums because the museum is considered too old and undeveloped. The presence of the Jakarta architecture museum tells the story of the architectural journey of the city of Jakarta which has developed since the Dutch colonial era to the present. The design of the Museum which is located in the East Merdeka area is directly adjacent to the old building which has historical value, the Immannuel Church and the National Gallery; In addition, this region is connected in one tourism path that is being developed, from the Istiqlal Mosque and the Cathedral Church (which has historical architectural value) to the Proclamation Monument on the Proclamation Road. With a relationship between two destination points. The project also interacts with its surroundings as a comfortable place with open space for the surrounding community. The general program is supported by space 3.0 in the form of amphitheater, which can be accessed by various groups both horizontally and vertically. This project is expected to increase the insight and interest of visitors to study architecture and its role in building cities. AbstrakSeiring berjalanya waktu, Museum di kota Jakarta masih tetap terbatas. Karya karya yang dipamerkan tetap sama dan cenderung tidak interaktif. Kebanyakan museum di Jakarta mencoba menampilkan sisi historis dari penjajahan Belanda dan peninggalannya. namun belum ada museum yang membahas bagaimana arsitektur di kota Jakarta berkembang pesat sampai sekarang dan meninggalkan cerita atau sejarahnya. Dalam paparan sejarah pertumbuhannya, dimana pemerintah kotanya silih berganti dan kondisi masyarakatnya sangat majemuk. Namun dalam perjalanannya menuju era yang lebih modern, perlu adanya sebuah perubahan terhadap konsep museum. Menurunya angka kunjungan ke museum harus menjadi perhatian bahwasanya generasi milenial mulai meninggalkan tren berwisata ke museum karena museum dinilai terlalu tua dan tidak berkembang. Hadirnya museum arsitektur Jakarta bercerita gambaran perjalanan arsitektur kota Jakarta yang berkembang sejak zaman penjajahan Belanda hingga saat ini. Perancangan Museum yang terletak di kawasan Merdeka Timur berbatasan langsung dengan bangunan tua yang memiliki nilai sejarah, Gereja Immannuel dan Galeri Nasional; Selain itu kawasan ini terhubung dalam satu jalur pariwisata yang sedang di kembangkan, dari Masjid Istiqlal dan Gereja katedral (yang mana memiliki nilai historis arsitektur) hingga Tugu Proklamasi di jalan Proklamasi. Dengan adanya satu hubungan lingkage antar dua titik tujuan. Proyek ini juga berinteraksi dengan sekitarnya sebagai tempat yang nyaman dengan ruang terbuka untuk masyarakat sekitar. Program kemduian didukung dengan ruang 3.0 yang berupa amphiteather, dimana dapat di akses oleh berbagai kalangan baik secara kelas horizontal maupun vertikal. Proyek ini diharapkan dapat menambah wawasan maupun minat pengunjung untuk mempelajari arsitektur dan peranannya dalam membangun kota.

This study discusses how the Serang City Square as a public open space is abused by prostitution as a place for approval of prostitution transactions. These conditions make the City Government of Serang do various ways to allow the condition of the City Square of Serang which has been abused by parties related to prostitution. When the government has not been able to deal with the problem of prostitution itself, then to facilitate the handling of prostitution, the government collaborates with other parties, namely Islamic Organizations that are considered capable of assisting the City Government of Serang in eradicating prostitution in Serang City Square. However, at the time of the collaboration between the Serang City Government and the Islamic Organizations, it had not been running optimally because there were some collaborations between one of them which was not going well with good communication between the best institutions and the Islamic Organizations in eradicating prostitution. This is because the government considers that Islamic Organizations do not have the authority to eradicate prostitution. Indeed, the role of Islamic Organizations is only as a companion and to remind the government.

Increasing urbanisation has led to a greater use of artificial structures by bats as alternative roost sites. Despite the widespread presence of bats, roost availability may restrict their distribution and abundance in urban environments. There is limited quantitative information on the drivers of bat roost selection and roosting preferences, particularly in African bats. We explore the factors influencing roost selection in the Mauritian tomb bat (Taphozous mauritianus), within an urban landscape in Lilongwe city, Malawi. Eight building and five landscape features of roosts were compared with both adjacent and random control buildings throughout the city. Bat occupied buildings were situated closer to woodland (mean 709m) compared to random buildings (mean 1847m) but did not differ in any other landscape features explored. Roosts were situated on buildings with larger areas and taller walls, suggesting bats select features for predator-avoidance and acoustic perception when leaving the roost. Bats preferred buildings with exposed roof beams which may provide refuge from disturbance. Whilst roosts are situated more often on brick walls, this feature was also associated with landscape features, therefore its importance in roost selection is less clear. These results are indicative that T. mauritianus selects roosts at both the building and landscape level. The selectivity of T. mauritianus in relation to its roost sites implies that preferred roosts are a limited resource, and as such, conservation actions should focus on protecting roost sites and the woodland bats rely on.

The urban landscape is an interspersed mixing of residences, shops, theatres, parks, natural areas, and a multitude of other uses. From the early days of the central markets, to the planned downtown, to the heavily planned super-regional shopping complexes, the commercial areas within this urban landscape have evolved. There has been considerable research conducted on analyzing the commercial structure of urban environments in an attempt to better understand the nature of retailing and its resultant impacts on the geography of the city. This paper details the development of a GIS-based semi-automated method to detect commercial structure. The approach generated nearest commercial neighbour statistics as a measure of proximity between commercial locations. These were used as the foundation for clustering commercial operations into commercial areas.

Urban forest is one form of green open space. Urban forests play an important role in maintaining the sustainability of ecological functions in a city. This role could only run optimally with the availability of urban forests. The purpose of this study is to analyze the status of land ownership and analyze the efforts that can be made in maintaining urban forests. This study used image analysis, interviews, and field observations. From the results of this study, the status of urban forests based on the Mayor of Bandar Lampung Decree in 2010 had different statuses at each location. The urban forest ownership does not exclusively belong to the government. Of the 5 locations, only 1 location owned by the Bandar Lampung City Government, with 1 location that is not recognized (problematic), 1 location did not have a certificate of rights yet, and 2 other locations were private locations. The best effort that could be made to maintain the existence of urban forests is to control urban forest land as ownership in the name of the City Government with the support of certain regulations that can be done. Keywords: land status, urban forest, Lampung
