BANGUNAN REKREASI BERTEMAKAN ALAM-NATURAL WELLBEING RETREAT

Nature Themed Recreational Building-Natural Wellbeing Retreat is designed to help fulfill the daily and dynamic needs of the people through a natural concept focused on wellbeing that is aimed to answer the problems of the Sunter district such as high levels of stress, low amount of green open spaces, and the abundance of the retiree using a Pattern-Based method with the main focus being the space and site. Natural Wellbeing Retreat can be interpreted as an action to return to nature to replenish happiness and health. Humans require recreation and rest from daily routines and business forced upon them. Recreation/rest time can lead to a meeting between creative humans to build a more innovative and productive community. Therefore a wellbeing theme is taken where all the programs will be injected with the primary objective of the project, which is to maintain the mental, physical, and emotional health of its users by also applying natural aspects related to gardens/parks which are useful in creating a happier community which is also by a selected location that lacks green open areas. This natural aspect will be further supported by the background of Lake Sunter as a blue open space. Keywords: Nature; Recreation; Retiree; StressAbstrakBangunan Rekreasi Bertemakan Alam-Natural Wellbeing Retreat hadir untuk membantu kehidupan serta menjawab kebutuhan masyarakat yang dinamis melalui tema yang akan diangkat berupa Natural Wellbeing Retreat yang ditujukan untuk menjawab masalah-masalah utama kawasan Sunter seperti tingginya tingkat stres, kurangnya ruang terbuka hijau, dan banyaknya pensiunan menggunakan metode desain berbasis pola dengan memperhatikan obyektifitas ruang dan tapak. Natural Wellbeing Retreat dapat diartikan sebagai suatu tindakan untuk kembali ke alam agar bahagia dan sehat. Kami membutuhkan suatu rekreasi atau waktu istirahat dari segala rutinitas dan kesibukan yang dituntutkan pada mereka. Waktu rekreasi/istirahat ini bisa mengarah kepada pertemuan antar manusia-manusia kreatif dan membangun komunitas yang lebih inovatif serta produktif. Maka dari itu diambillah tema wellbeing dimana seluruh program akan disuntikan tema ini dengan tujuan utama proyek yaitu menjaga kesehatan mental, fisik, serta emosional para penggunanya dengan juga menerapkan aspek natural yang berkaitan dengan gardens/parks yang efektif untuk menciptakan komunitas yang lebih bahagia dan juga sesuai dengan lokasi terpilh yang kekurangan area terbuka hijau. Faktor alami ini akan terlebih lagi didukung dengan adanya latar belakang Danau Sunter sebagai ruang terbuka biru.

On the morphological variation of Rafflesia cantleyi (Rafflesiaceae) on Pulau Tioman, Pahang, Peninsular Malaysia

In Peninsular Malaysia, Rafflesia is represented by seven species of which R. kerrii (and R. su-meiae) stands out distinctly from the other five. The other five species, R. azlanii, R. cantleyi, R. parvimaculata, R. sharifah-hapsahiae and R. tuanku-halimii, are collectively close enough to each other to be referred to as the R. cantleyi complex after its first-described species, R. cantleyi. Pulau Tioman has a population of R. cantleyi, which, because of its island location, is isolated from the mainland complex. This study was conducted to determine morphological variation in a selected location in Pulau Tioman. Twelve flowers were studied with respect to characteristics such as wart (blotch) pattern on perianth lobes, warts (dots) on upper surface of the diaphragm, shape of the aperture, shape of processes and types of ramenta. These are the characters that have been used to define species in the R. cantleyi complex. The variation in the local Tioman population was compared with the variation in the R. cantleyi complex on the mainland, which is about the same magnitude. This supports the idea that R. cantleyi is a single highly polymorphic species and that the species that have been described in the R. cantleyi complex should be reduced to varieties.

Temporal and Spatial Fluctuation of Noise Levels in the Closed Vicinity of Urban Roadways

Noise pollution is a very critical issue for a better quality of life in urban settings. This study has been conducted to investigate the temporal and spatial fluctuation of noise levels in the vicinity of urban roadways. A total of twelve sites have been covered, eight in residential area and four in commercial area for this study. The monitoring of noise levels in residential and commercial areas in the capital city of India, Delhi, has been carried out from 18th of July to 12th of August 2017 using Sound Level Meter (Larson & Davis 831). The monitoring has been done only on working days and in good weather condition as per standard procedure, special care has been taken to reduce the effects of wind. Temporal distribution shows that the noise level in morning at the residential area has been more than the prescribed standard and reached up to 84.8 dB (A) in comparison to the commercial areas which has been remains up to 79.46 dB (A). Spatial distribution revealed that the noise level at Ashram Chowk remains in the range of 75 to 80 dB (A) which is maximum in comparison to all other selected location of residential area followed by Moolchand which remains in the range of 70 to 75 dB (A). In commercial area the noise levels remain in the range of 65 to 70 dB (A) at Connaught Place outer Circle (CPOC), which is remain maximum among all selected location. The noise level exceeds the recommendation of CPCB at all eight locations of residential area and two locations of commercial area out of four. It can be concluded that the residential area near urban roadways remains more prone to noise pollution in comparison to commercial area. Planning and public knowledge about the long term noise risk may help in to relieve the noise risk in urban areas

The Design Museum of Mount Sinabung with Neo-Vernacular Architecture Approach

Mount Sinabung is a volcano on the plateau of Karo Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Mount Sinabung suddenly erupted in 2010. The last eruption of the volcano occurred since February 19, 2018, and until now become an attraction to find out more about volcanic disasters. Museum Mount Sinabung is present to provide the means for education, dissemination of information in the aspect of the volcano and geological disaster with recreative and educative of nature. The problem raised was "How to design a volcano museum using the neo-vernacular architectural approach?". By applying one flow that develops in this post-modern era to revive memories of a semi-historical culture, representational, plural and eclectic cultural Agenda on to evoke the Design of Museum Mount SinabungIn the application of the neo-vernacular architectural approach to the building of the Museum, the principle of building the Siwaluh Jabu is restored, physically and non-physically.By using the qualitative method of designing the Museum, it was designed because it was rational and planned systematically with the selected location. So, the Museum is conceptualized with a flexible gallery that can be used as a shelter for refugees. Thus, it is expected that the Museum can be a recreational-educational facility and as a means of supporting disaster mitigation.

Travel Location Sequence Recommendation From User’s Point of Interest

The major objective of any Travel Recommendation System is to recommend its users to visit the most suitable place in according to the selected location. We present this system of travel recommendation from the experiences of the previously visited users of that location. Apart from the existing systems, our approach not only limited to users traveling interest but also recommends a travel sequence. Our sys-tem also suggest best visiting time, most suitable season, preference of visiting the nearby places and traveling route to reach to your desired location. Here the user can create his friend list and can share his experience of visit to his friends. This user given experience is taken as a feedback by the system to update his recommendations.
