Characteristics of the Surrounding Areas of BRT Stations in Jambi Province Based on Land-Use Diversity

Jambi Provincial Government tries to overcome congestion by providing public transportation, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, known as BRT Trans Siginjai Jambi. Public transportation Trans Siginjai Jambi has been operating for two years and has 11 BRT Stations. Placement of the transit node is one of the determinants of the role of bus stations in the surrounding area. The diversity of land-use and facilities close to the transit area can reduce travel time, so it is necessary to map the land-use that will determine the physical characteristics of the area around the BRT Station. This study discusses the characteristics of the area around the BRT Station using quantitative methods. Quantitative methods are used to determine the characteristics of BRT Station based on the variables of the proportion of land use in the area around the BRT Station. The land-use variable is obtained from the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) theory. The study produced three characteristics of BRT Station, namely City Station, Neighborhood Station, and Special Activity Station.

River-Space Development as a Social Interaction Space through the Placemaking Approach

Urban water management has increasingly given the use of rivers to infrastructure, industry, and navigation; stripping away its use as a space and cutting people off while creating the phenomenon of social disconnection. Awareness to implement social planning during river development is important in order to integrate rivers into the urban fabric. This research examines the ‘City is Not a Tree’ theory as a basis to understand how cities need to have a semi-lattice structure with overlapping spaces in order to integrate themselves into the city. As the nature of this research is bottom-up, it saw appropriate the placemaking approach in creating river-spaces into a place for the people. Method used in this research includes analysis and comparison to theories, guides and ideal precedents. Furthermore, this research resulted in finding guides for creating good river-spaces through the placemaking approach. The guides are of elements and variables needed to create a good river-space and a guide for the required programs that need to be implemented. Through this research, it is found that developing river-spaces as a space to host social interaction with the placemaking approach, not only creates a livelier environment but also improves the overall quality of the river-space

Quality of Walkability in Peunayong, Banda Aceh

Walking is an important element of accessibility because it can increase the livability of a city. Peunayong as a trade and service center as well as a heritage area has very diverse activities with high intensity. The density of activities in Peunayong causes high vehicle accessibility which causes congestion in the area, parking on site which narrows the space for pedestrians and vehicles. In addition, pedestrian facilities in Peunayong still do not facilitate pedestrians because of the mixing of various activities in one lane, such as circulation, parking, and trading. In creating a pedestrian-friendly, it is necessary to plan and design good pedestrian facilities, by paying attention to the characteristics of pedestrians and their district. Walkability is one of the concepts for a walkable area. The approach in this study is by adopting the walkability theory as a reference. The focus of this research is to determine the quality of walkability in Peunayong. The method of analysis uses descriptive analysis. Those that formed walkability which will become parameters in this study are Connected, Convenient, Comfort, Convivial, Conspicuous through pedestrian paths and crossings, circulation activity, block size, spatial enclosure and humanscale, open space and vegetation, street furniture and signage.

Movement Patterns of Commuterline Users in the Medan City Train Station Area Based on Transit

At the time of this research, Medan City was threatened with the gridlock, a situation where the number of vehicles exceeds the available road capacity. To prevent the gridlock happens, Medan Train Station (Medan ts.) area as the center activity of Medan City, will be developed into an area based on the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) concept by adding Light Rail Transit (LRT) and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). The addition is hoped to encourage walking and public transportation usage for visitors in Medan ts. area. This study aims to determine and mapping the movement patterns of commuterline users, in this case Medan – Binjai line which is the only line available, as the basis for the application of the concept of TOD in the Medan ts. area. The research uses observation and interview as the methods. The results of the study showed that the majority of commuterline users of the Medan ts. relied on paratransit when heading or leaving the station than walking. This can be seen from 70% of users (weekday) and 83.3% of users (weekends) using paratransit when heading to the station and 86.6% of users (weekday) and 66.6% of users (weekends) using paratransit when leaving the station.

Implementable Factors for Sustainable Agricultural Policy in Metro City

Conservation of agricultural land for food sovereignty is one of the SDGs' agenda. In Indonesia, this objective is stated in the Sustainable Food Agricultural Land (LP2B) policy outlined in Law No. 41/2009, which followed by regulations below to the level of the Regional Regulation. In the Metro City, this is stated in Regional Regulation No. 21/2016 to be the basis for a policy of protection of 1,567.5 hectares of paddy fields. This regulation aims to support food sovereignty and maintain the ecological balance of the environment. The problem arises because the paddy fields designated by LP2B are private land so that not all owners are willing to implement this policy. This study aims to analyze the factors that affect the level of willingness of landowners with a quantitative approach by analyzing land data with multiple linear regression analysis techniques. A sample of 513 parcels was taken from the Farmers Owning Farmers population of 6,060 HHs based on Agricultural Survey data, BPS Lampung 2018. In general, from the results of the analysis, the highest coefficient on object characteristics was variable land productivity while the characteristics of subjects were multifunctional knowledge of paddy fields.

Assessment of Spatial Plan Quality Based on Disaster Risk Reduction

The island of Bali and its surroundings are part of Indonesia's seismotectonic. This area is traversed by the Mediterranean land line and subduction zone caused by the collision between the Eurasian Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate. Such conditions have been faced by Bali Island as one of the regions that has a high level of seismicity. Hazard potencies in Bali Island especially Karangasem Regency effects disaster prone level. The high level of disaster prone in Karangasem Regency requires disaster preparedness in pre disaster step. Emergency, rehabilitation, and reconstruction responses are not effective responses because these steps need expensive funding and investment. Preparedness efforts in pre-disaster are carried out through enhancement of quality spatial plans based on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). Spatial plan contains spatial pattern (land use) plan and development of mitigation infrastructure to reduce disaster risk. Research objectives is resulting a guideline for Karangasem Regency Government to implement spatial planning based on DRR. The research assesses quality spatial plans based on hazard potential and DRR that uses scoring method according to availability and complatility criteria. The result is quality level of Karangasem Spatial Plan and recommendation to improve spatial plan quality based on DRR. Keywords: Disaster, Mitigation, and Spatial

Thermal Comfort Condition in Affandi Museum Yogyakarta

Thermal comfort is a basic human demand in interacting with space/architectural design. Determination of thermal comfort criteria can help the designer/architect in improving quality, function, and user thermal experience in an artificial environment. ISO 7730: 1994 standard states that the thermal sensation experienced by humans is the result of climate parameters (such as air temperature, radiation temperature, humidity, and wind speed) and human parameters (such as activity and clothing). These parameters were the focus of this study. The work program of this research collaboration was basically divided into 2 phases of activity, namely measuring and monitoring the conditions of thermal comfort in the Gallery 1 environment, Affandi Museum and providing recommendations for improvement of Gallery 1 thermal environment conditions. Primary data was taken from the indoor and outdoor measurement of air temperature, relative humidity and air velocity for 6 months. Physical architectural measurement of this study building and questionnaire methods followed the ASHRAE scale which was simplified to determine the level of thermal comfort, the scale of which was 2 (hot) to -2 (cold). The result of the measurement and analysis using a calculator based upon the ASHARE standard indicated that Gallery 1 of the Affandi Museum was in uncomfortable conditions. While the results of the questionnaire of 20 analyzes showed that at least 87,5% of respondents felt discomfort in Gallery 1, however, 60% of the respondent were still able to enjoy the collection and the atmosphere in gallery 1. The effective temperature index which provide 27,5-27,6 C and 66,7% RH as acceptable indoor environment in warm humid climate at Affandi museum case.

The The Characteristics of Heritage Stations and Its Transformation along the Railway Track of Jombang City to Tuban

The station is one mode of transportation that shows the progress of the civilization of a city. Stations in Indonesia are one of the modes of transportation that are influenced by the development of transportation technology problems that began in 1983 and is one of the third train developments in the world. This study wanted to find out about the facade characteristics possessed by station-stations in Indonesia. In this study, it is intended to see the characteristics formed from the building facades, the proportions resulting from the composition of the existing space which will be reflected in the proportions and scale of the building. The station building on the Jombang Kota - Tuban track has the characteristics of a long building with the facade composition from the direction of passenger arrival dominated by the composition of the windows and on the reverse side the composition of the doors. Station buildings have a gate which is always at the end of the station building. The entrance gate of the building represents the convenience for passengers to enter with an opening that is wide enough and easily recognizable.

Tolerance of Public Open Space Utilization of Urban Kampung in Surakarta City

This paper aims to determine the form, type, and utilization of public open space in the urban kampung and see the extent of tolerance in it. Limited land does not make the urban kampung stop providing public open space for its citizens. For this reason, three samples of urban villages were chosen that are considered to represent the characteristics of urban kampungs in the city of Surakarta. The three kampungs are Pringgolayan Village which is the center of several home industries, Karengan Village is a village on the banks of the Solo River, and Mloyokusuman Village is a traditional kampung within Beteng Keraton. This research was conducted by direct observation and interviews with key informants. The results obtained from this study are that there are various types, forms, and uses of public open space in urban villages. As well as the high level of tolerance in the use of public open space in urban kampung so that although there is limited land, conflict tends to be minimal.

Re-Connecting Community Collective Memory with the Change of Life Culture and the Cultural Resistance in Paku Alam Village, Sumedang, West Java, Indonesia

Development can be described as two sides of a coin, the first side provides benefits, but on the other side it turns out to have to sacrifice for some people. Jatigede Dam, located in Sumedang Regency, West Java Province, was built in 1998 and its construction resulted in 28 submerged villages. The communities whose areas are submerged must create new villages and switch professions that used to have a livelihood as an agrarian society must switch professions to become aquatic culture communities. This paper discusses experiences in the proposed (re)structuring activities of the Paku Alam Village area in Darmaraja District around the dam. The activity is carried out through the method of recalling the community collective memory, which is brought together with the context of changes in the livelihood culture and ritual culture that is still owned by the village community so that the changing area can be accepted as a "new village" for the community. The data is obtained through searching sites that are considered important by the community, ritual activities that are usually carried out, people's daily lives, and the bad memories of drowned villages, reconciled with the present and future context as part of the region's arrangement. The result is a regional proposal that is expected to meet people's expectations.
