Aspect of Uniqueness in Distinctiveness to the Development of Geotourism in Merek District

2025-06-25T15:15:46+07:00

This study analyzes the uniqueness of geodiversity, ecology, and culture as the foundation for sustainable geotourism development in Brand District, Karo Regency. Using a mixed methods approach (questionnaire N=100, interview n=6, observation), the results showed that the uniqueness of Brand's geodiversity lies in the volcanic phenomena of the Toba Caldera such as Sipiso-piso Waterfall (120 m) and Bukit Gajah Bobok which are rich in potassium and magnesium minerals. MANOVA's analysis showed a significant difference in the perception of tourists and the public towards geological uniqueness (p<0.05). Ecologically, volcanic soils with low total dissolved solids (TDS) (<150 ppm) support organic agriculture, although they are threatened by land conversion (25% reduced agricultural land) and plastic waste (volume decreased by 30% through the waste bank program). Local cultures such as Ulos weaving and the Erpangir Ku Lau ritual are identity differentiators, but their marketing is limited locally without certification. The integration of all three aspects requires technological innovation (augmented reality for geological interpretation), diversification of cultural products (craft training), and data-driven spatial planning policies. Strategic recommendations include strengthening community participation through Pokdarwis, a circular economy through recycling waste into handicrafts, and multi-stakeholder collaboration to make Brand a model of sustainable geotourism in Indonesia. This research emphasizes that the synergy of technological innovation, active community participation, and holistic policies are the keys to the success of geotourism development.

2025-04-17T17:01:10+07:00

The development of an area cannot be separated from the existence of public space, Public Space such as Simpang Lima is one of the important aspects in city development so that it can be utilized by the community, public space must be usable by all levels of society, including elderly users. Currently, the city of Semarang has experienced an increase in the number of elderly people since 2017 and continues to increase, special attention to elderly users is important so that this increase does not become a new problem in urban areas. One of the government's efforts to pay attention to the elderly is by creating public spaces. Public spaces in the city of Semarang, such as Simpang Lima, are still popular with the elderly. Many elderly people are found in the morning with sports activities, but according to the elderly, the facilities at Simpang Lima have not been able to meet their needs. So that it raises several problems in the field, these problems are the basis of the study, namely What is the accessibility of the elderly in the Simpang Lima public space? What are the obstacles to accessibility for the elderly in using public space facilities at Simpang Lima? The research method uses a qualitative approach by conducting observations, interviews, and literature reviews after which it is analyzed using accessibility requirements. The activities of the elderly in reaching and using public spaces are in accordance with the accessibility that has been provided, this is based on convenience and safety. Accessibility barriers experienced by the elderly at Simpang Lima are the lack of supporting accessibility facilities such as comfortable seating, information boards and directions, and toilets complete with facilities for the elderly.

The Landscape of Contemporary Architectural Practices in Indonesia

2025-05-09T15:47:49+07:00

Indonesia's contemporary architecture has developed in response to globalisation, urbanisation, and modernisation, striking a balance between regional customs and global tendencies. This research analyses projects displayed at the Indonesian Architects Week (IAW) 2024 exhibition in order to investigate the state of contemporary architecture in Indonesia. Key architectural trends in residential, office, hospitality, commercial, government, and public areas are highlighted by the research, which groups these projects according to their function and geographic distribution. The results show that private-sector demands drive contemporary architectural practices, with Java and Bali & Nusa Tenggara having the highest concentration of projects, while Sumatra, Sulawesi, Kalimantan, and Papua & Maluku continue to be under-represented. A trend towards mixed-use architectural designs is also noted in the report, as demonstrated by buildings that combine several uses, including office-commercial, government-public, and residential-office hybrids. Despite these revelations, the study's limitations include its only dependence on exhibition data and the absence of primary research methods like stakeholder participation, field observations, or interviews. It does not, therefore, offer a completely generalisable depiction of modern architectural techniques in Indonesia. However, it provides a useful foundation for further research into the innovations, problems, and trends influencing Indonesia's built environment. To gain a more thorough grasp of how Indonesian contemporary architecture is still changing within regional, cultural, and economic contexts, future research should apply direct architectural analysis and larger datasets.

Tectonics, Structure And Floor Plan Of Taneyan Lanjhang Traditional Houses In Modern Madura Residential Houses

2025-04-17T15:48:39+07:00

Traditional houses are an important cultural asset in society. The Taneyan Lanjhang traditional house, a traditional house located in a certain area, has been the object of research in this study. This research aims to examine the tectonic and structural aspects of the Taneyan Lanjhang traditional house, including the geological characteristics that influenced its construction. The research method used in this study involves field surveys, primary and secondary data collection, as well as 3D rendering and qualitative descriptive explanations. Primary data was obtained through direct observation of the Taneyan Lanjhang traditional house, while secondary data was obtained through a study of related literature. Research shows that the Taneyan Lanjhang traditional house is supported by tectonic structures typical of the area. This structure plays an important role in the strength and stability of the traditional house. Some of the structural elements found include wooden columns, types of connections, and roof shapes.
