Forest Education

The Forest Education Centre is a place that provides environmental education facilities where the community, teachers and students can visit to learn more about the forest environment. Therefore, landscape design elements’ in this area which include buildings, should be visually in harmony with the sense of place and its surroundings. The design must concern form, color, materials, landscape degradation and preservation of natural processes. Unfortunately, landscape design elements in this area have been built based on in-situ approach where the absence of a ‘code of design’ in creating a well-built environment of landscape and architectural quality has contributed to inharmonious designs. This had led to the significant function of identity and meaning in securing the sense of place which was not adequately examined in the process. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to raise awareness among the stakeholders and the sensitivity towards the importance of harmonizing design in Forest Education Centres. Among the objectives of this study is to firstly understand the user’s perception towards harmonies designs in a forest environment. Secondly, it is to suggest harmonies design approaches towards forest sustainability. The intended audience for this paper include directors, facilities managers, landscape architects, forest officers, architects and engineers.

Laboratory work is an important element in engineering training, which should correspond to up-to-date tendencies in computer-based technologies in design, production, maintenance and preserving mechanisms. Computer-based laboratory work consists of 16 assignments. Seven assignments are carried out on laboratory stands, the remainder are provided on PC, using programs like “Visual Structure Editor”, “DYNAMO”, “APM Win Machine”. The system Visual Structure Editor (VSE) is designed by specialists of “Machine Mechanics and Computer-Aided Design” department, of the Maritime State University named after adm.G.I.NEVELSKOY, Vladivostok, under the direction of prof. Valentina V. Kuzlyakina. The system APM (Automated Projecting of Mechanism) is designed by the research-and-production centre “APM” under the direction of prof.V.Shelofast, from the city of Korolyov, Moscow area. These systems are multifunctional. They allow project different mechanical systems at the stage of structural and parametrical synthesis, carry out strength calculations and design elements of machines and mechanisms. They are good in operation. Teachers and students easily master the systems. Laboratory works with computer support allow students to pass from a concrete object to modeling on a PC, and to solve complex engineering tasks during the education process.

The article is aim to consciously bring natural elements and natural processes into landscape design, which have such sound effect of continuously changing features from a traditional garden. There are two main methods of design with natural thinking: one is expansion of the natural elements, including direct and indirect demonstration of the natural elements and abstract refinement of the natural forms; the other is expression of natural dynamic forces, such as site conditions, the forces of nature and ecological significance. The landscape reacting with natural affinity and dynamic helps people to re-perception, experience and care of natural realism and vitality.

The Study Program of Landscaping and Gardening (Program Studi Lanskap dan Pertamanan (LDP)), one of the study programs at SMKN 63 Jagakarsa, South Jakarta, needs guidance related to learning materials of landscape design. The purpose of providing landscape design materials for school members (teachers and students) is to increase the knowledge and skills of making landscape designs and optimize the function and beauty of the school's out space. It supports the  behavior of the environmental awareness that the Adiwiyata program promotes. Community service activities in the form of socialization and training so that school members can design the landscape independently and distribute questionnaires to measure the level of achievement of the socialization and training were carried out. The case area to be designed is a corner garden in the front yard of SMKN 63. The activity results show that the participants' perceptions fall into the category of agreeing to strongly agree on the value of the benefits of the service material. Participants were very enthusiastic and active. Creativity and design making still need guidance. Evaluation in the following month shows the follow-up of the resulting design. This enthusiasm led to a cooperation agreement between SMKN 63 and a community service team from the Landscape Architecture Department, Faculty of Laskap Architecture and Environmental Technology, Trisakti University to foster school residents sustainably.

The article discusses the laws of geometric surface modeling based on surface analysis using descriptive geometry methods and designing these surfaces using CAD and computer graphics. The paper gives an example of building an architectural vase as a surface of revolution with a curvilinear generatrix using KOMPAS 3D. Design stages with the creation of a spatial model are considered.

Critical Aspects

Despite consensus regarding critical design elements for professional development (PD), numerous PD studies have not shown anticipated effects for teachers or students. Mixed methods studies investigating when and why PD is successful are needed. The qualitative study reported here was part of a larger, mixed methods study of PD for self-regulated strategy development (SRSD) in writing; the randomized controlled trial found significant and meaningful outcomes for teachers and students. In the current qualitative study, 14 Grades 2 and 3 teachers discussed semistructured, open-ended questions in small focus groups regarding their experiences with, reactions to, and evaluations of aspects and components of PD and SRSD. These teachers’ voices contribute to our understanding of critical aspects of effective PD as well as SRSD.

A climate-responsive landscape design can create a more livable urban microclimate with adequate human comfortability. This paper aims to quantitatively investigate the effects of landscape design elements of pavement materials, greenery, and water bodies on urban microclimate and thermal comfort in a high-rise residential area in the tropic climate of Singapore. A comprehensive field measurement is undertaken to obtain real data on microclimate parameters for calibration of the microclimate-modeling software ENVI-met 4.0. With the calibrated ENVI-met, seven urban landscape scenarios are simulated and their effects on thermal comfort as measured by physiologically equivalent temperature (PET) are evaluated. It is found that the maximum improvement of PET reduction with suggested landscape designs is about 12°C, and high-albedo pavement materials and water bodies are not effective in reducing heat stress in hot and humid climate conditions. The combination of shade trees over grass is the most effective landscape strategy for cooling the microclimate. The findings from the paper can equip urban designers with knowledge and techniques to mitigate urban heat stress.

Existing research supports a wide range of positive effects for physical, mental and social wellbeing from outdoor exercise, particularly through engagement with nature, however few current landscapes facilitate exercise participation and efficacy for older persons and often require targeted design refinement to foster accessibility, inclusivity and sociability. In order to identify how therapeutic landscape design can be developed to best assist older persons' health and wellbeing, epidemiological data, injury statistics, and currently available outdoor fitness equipment that is specifically marketed for use by older persons were examined. A number of problematic design issues were identified including poor equipment design; failure to integrate cognitive tasks; and minimal integration of safe, age and ability-specific elements. This paper advocates rekindling the connection to public green space in order to foster disability prevention and promote rehabilitation in older persons. The incorporation of design elements that specifically address elements of prevalent morbidities and concerns, such as psychological restoration, stress reduction, attention recovery, the health and wellbeing of older persons in the community could be improved. Age-specific design suggestions include integrating interactive landscapes with ecological regenerative planning to assist with the prevention of common morbidities in older persons.
