Exploring the Potential and Challenges of Floating Architecture for Sustainable Urban Development

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to look into the possibility of floating architecture in Indonesian rivers. A mixed-methods research strategy is used in the study, which combines qualitative and quantitative data gathering and analysis methodologies. A survey and semi-structured interviews with important stakeholders will be used to obtain primary data. The quantitative and qualitative findings will be combined to create a full grasp of this topic. According to the survey results, the majority of respondents feel that floating architecture may help solve the shortage of available land in Indonesian cities and contribute to the country's long-term growth. The key hurdles of implementing floating architecture were recognized as regulatory barriers (35%), environmental effect (25%), and public perception (20%). Perceived benefits, such as enhanced adaptation and environmental sustainability, are particularly pertinent to the issues confronting Indonesian riverine communities. Overall, the study emphasizes the importance of further promotion and education about the possibilities of floating architecture, as well as additional research to evaluate its specific application in the context of riverine ecosystems.
