Study on the deviation and ratio of spatial arrangement patterns in housing and city development to achieve sustainable urban form in Indonesia: Introduction of observations and calculations by space syntax

Abstract

This paper aims to discuss and summarise research that has been conducted to provide an understanding of the development of spatial patterns of houses, housing, and the city master plan in Indonesia through the space syntax approach. The development of the house and the city essentially follows a basic pattern. This study provides an overview and understanding of the method of development of patterns by a study of deviations and ratios from an earlier pattern. Various approaches are taken to find the development of these structured patterns, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Data is collected using city master plans that are digitalised and analysed using Depth Map software. This study is a comprehensive study that has been carried out that supports sustainable urban forms. The study was conducted on Javanese houses, HBEs settlements, kampongs and three colonial cities in Indonesia. It found an understanding of the development of patterns, deviations, and similarities with previous spatial patterns. The results of this study are expected to guide housing designers, housing developers, urban planners and urban development policymakers to achieve a sustainable urban form.
