Study of Physical Arrangement with M3K Concept Based On Element Urban Design in Gemblakan Bawah Village Kota Yogyakarta

Abstract

The river boundary is a buffer zone between the river and terrestrial aquatic ecosystems. The community’s lack understanding of river border functions causes the use of river boundary as residential areas. This condition occurs in the River Code boundary, Yogyakarta. To restore the river border, Pamerti Kali Code (a community engaged in the Code River observer) initiated the concept of M3K (Mundur Munggah Madhep Kali). The physical arrangement of settlements with the M3K concept has been realized in the slum village in Gemblakan Bawah Village located on the banks of the Code River. This village is the 1st segment of 4 segments that are planned for structuring. After the M3K concept was implemented, this village was transformed into a tourist village. In the urban design context, every city must pay attention to element urban design so that the city has clear characteristics. So structuring settlements with M3K needs to be assessed based on the elements of urban design. The purpose of this paper is to identify the application of elements urban design in physical arrangement with the concept of M3K in Kampung Gemblakan Bawah. This research used quantitative methods with quantitative descriptive and frequency distribution analysis. The author obtained data by conducting surveys and questionnaires to 78 families. The analysis was carried out by analyzing the physical condition of the Gemblakan Bawah Village after applying M3K concept based on urban design elements (land use, building and massing, circulation and parking, open space, signage, pedestrian ways, and activity support). The results of the study prove that settlement arrangements with the M3K concept make urban design elements in residential areas increase. Among them are improvements in the form of the regularity of buildings, improvement of river bank circulation into non-motorized lanes as well as new open spaces and the existence of new spaces, support activities in the form of tourism activities that result in improved environmental quality in Gemblakan Bawah Village.
