Abstract
Abstract : Kampung Pelangi Semarang has relatively dense buildings, spontaneously developed and lack of urban service facilities. The design of the area based on the aspects of physical quality, one of which is the visual quality. Visual signs are the main features that are physically visible. The core of this research is to identify the influence between visual quality and sustainability in Kampung Pelangi. The research method is quantitative, weighted using Likert scale and test by using linear regression analysis. Results from simultaneous research indicate that visual quality influences on sustainability in Kampung Pelangi. The magnitude of the influence of visual quality is only 44.7% of the sustainability, the rest of 52.3% is influenced by other factors, while partially regression analysis showed no influence from three variables. It means that there is still lack of diversity, dominance and clarity at the research locus, so it needs to be increased again with values of -3.9%, -2.6% and 5.8% respectively. It should be furtherly improved by adding coloring, marking and map themes, and adding various tourist attractions. For the other three variables, sequence, harmony, and uniqueness have an influence on sustainability in Kampung Pelangi, with the value of 19%, 17,1% and 17%, that the variables already exist in research locus but the value is very low so it must maintained and upgraded with the planning and implementation of proper programs to increase the level of sustainability there.
Highlights
Kampung Pelangi is an urban village with a complex and dynamic social system, inhabited by a variety of urban residents with generally poor economic levels, relatively dense buildings and livelihoods in the informal sector, organic developed so it lack of urban services such as roads, clean water, sanitation and drainage
Coefficient of Determination Coefficient determination analysis in multiple linear regressions was performed to know the percentage of contribution of independent variable influence (Visual Quality) simultaneously to the dependent variable (Sustainability)
It means 47.7% variation on Sustainability can be explained by the variation of six independent variables namely diversity, dominance, harmony, sequence, uniqueness and vividness. 52.3% variation on Sustainability can be explained by other variables outside the model
Summary
Kampung Pelangi is an urban village with a complex and dynamic social system, inhabited by a variety of urban residents with generally poor economic levels, relatively dense buildings and livelihoods in the informal sector, organic developed so it lack of urban services such as roads, clean water, sanitation and drainage. Kampung Pelangi residents provide their own homes, control the environment, and work together to improve their lives. It is located at Kali Semarang river banks which create settlements around Mount Brintik. On the eastern side of Pasar Kembang (Flower Market), there are residential areas that have long occupied the area of Mount Brintik, which is the origin settlement area of Kampung Pelangi. This area has quite dense building, located on contoured land, densely populated and unorganized and it is clearly reducing the beauty or image of the hilly area. In order to change the image of slum into more attractive residential areas to support the revitalization program of Kali Semarang and Pasar Kembang, Government of Semarang implemented thematic village in the area with particular branding as Kampung Pelangi (Rainbow Village), by applying colorful painting on the buildings in the village of Wonosari
