This article discusses the influence of green space planning in architectural design on the emotional development of the community in Surabaya. With an increasing population and demand for urban facilities, Surabaya faces challenges such as traffic congestion and a reduction in green space. This study examines how green open spaces can contribute to the emotional well-being of the community, with reference to a case study in Seoul, South Korea. The method used is qualitative analysis of secondary data. This study found that green open spaces in CheongyeCheong have an impact on emotional development, the economic level of the community, and the surrounding environment.

Pedestrian facilities are components of urban and tourism infrastructure to ensure access, safety, and comfort for users. On the pedestrian path along Jalan Danau Tamblingan, Sanur—a tourism corridor major route—issues have undermined the user experience. This study aims to investigate the level of pedestrian comfort and service quality within the area. The methodology employed was mixed-methods, combining qualitative observation and interviews to assess environmental and spatial conditions with quantitative analysis of pedestrian density, walking speed, and pedestrian flow through Level of Service (LOS) measurements. The results reveal a paradox: while the pedestrian path was given an LOS A rating, indicating free flow and low conflict, the comfort assessment rate was only 2 out of 8 satisfied criteria. One of the core deficiencies was circulation clarity, cleanliness, aesthetics, and odor control, although climate and safety demands were adequately met. The analogy here is to highlight pedestrian quality cannot be assessed by traffic efficiency but must also cater to environmental and experiential ones. The study concludes Jalan Danau Tamblingan allows for pedestrian efficiency but does not contribute to a pleasant walking environment for its residents and visitors. Closing these gaps requires in-depth design, upkeep, and administration improvements to enhance both functional and experience qualities. These are significant not only in local tourism mobility but also in creating urban livability and economic resilience in Sanur

Rapid urbanization, often accompanied by unplanned changes that undermine ecological balance and social cohesion, has led to an increased emphasis on the development of sustainable cities. Station Street in Isparta, which was established in 1936 with the construction of the Station Building, is an example of how zoning regulations, modernization, and changing housing typologies have challenged both the urban landscape and human activity. It was an effort to study the morphological, social and cultural changes in Station Street from a sustainability perspective. A qualitative approach was taken, based on archival research of zoning laws and development plans, field observations, spatial analyses, and oral history interviews with residents who had lived in the area for many years. Evidence from the study showed that there was a distinct transition from individual detached garden houses to bulky reinforced concrete apartments and ultimately to dense multi-storey blocks, supported by 1967 (seven year plan) for zoning and condominium law. Despite the expansion of housing and the introduction of mixed-use functions, these modifications also led to the disappearance of green spaces, the division of neighborhoods, and ultimately the erosion of the street's significance as a cultural and economic center. Additionally, Morphological change was associated with social and cultural loss, which was highlighted in oral histories as the decline of neighborhood practices and identity. Based on the three-pillar sustainability model, the study concludes that Station Street's path was aimed at modernization but not ecological or social resilience

Culture became important consideration in housesing design. House form is the consequence of a whole range of socio-cultural factor, not simply physical factor. Housing is more than a place to live, however also preserving certain values. The aim of this research is to reveal the significant relation of housing transformation and communal culture value. This study applies the case study approach through a qualitative analysis of the housing transformation phenomenon. Housing transformation is a process of adjusting space to fulfill certain functions based on the needs of the users, that fit with the culture value expression of the inhabitants. This resarch formulated four significant factor determine housing transformation factor in kampung, that are economic condition, housing condition, occupant condition and kampung improvement. House transformation was related to the communal cultural values ​​since the construction process to utilization. The mutual understanding on make the process of housing transformation can be carried out without causing conflicts over the use of space in kampung. House construction is also carried out with the support of neighbors since the exsistance of togetherness and gotong royong. In terms of creating better image of the kampung, solidarity velue was important to encorage the community working together improving kampung and their house. The mutual cooperation, community understanding, togetherness and solidarity were important in maintaining the commitment and social value among the inhabitants to live and grow together. Kampung is a model of settlement where the communal values are important in sustaining the harmony of urban living.

Pada proses pengumpulan data, maka perlu di tentukan kriteria sampel rumah yang bisa dijadikan objek penelitian. Kemudian, menyandingkan pola antar Amben Tengah yang terdapat pada Rumah Jawa untuk mendapatkan data lanjutan guna mendapatkan informasi. Informasi yang didapat dari hasil pengolahan dan anaisis data berupa pernyataan jika Amben Tengah merupakan ruang yang memiliki orientasi, namun orientasi itu tidak mempengaruhi orientasi Rumah Jawa melainkan mempengaruhi penataan ruang lain pada Rumah Jawa.

This paper delves into the application of green building aspects in historical and modern homes, driven by the imperative to address the environmental impacts of building construction. Against the backdrop of evolving human needs and architectural forms, the study aims to assess the extent of green building implementation in typical old and modern houses. Methodologically, the research conducts a comprehensive analysis of six key aspects of green building—Appropriate Site Development, Energy Efficiency and Conservation, Water Conservation, Material Resources and Cycle, Indoor Health and Comfort, and Building Environment Management—through random observations of representative buildings from different time periods. The results indicate a notable discrepancy in the adoption of green aspects between historical and modern homes, with historical houses exhibiting a higher degree of integration. Specifically, historical homes scored 41 points in green aspect implementation, while modern houses scored 22 points. These findings underscore the importance of prioritizing sustainable building practices to mitigate environmental impacts and promote holistic well-being in residential constructions.

This study examines Banjarmasin City's low-income slum residents' views and housing preferences. To fully grasp their lives is the goal. This study seeks to explore the numerous elements affecting these communities' residential decisions and objectives. Additionally, it investigates the viability of implementing setting-specific urban policies and interventions. Our study used systematic review and thematic content analysis. Our 16 sources included qualitative investigations, quantitative surveys, and policy publications. Our study covers demographics, slum living, residential preferences, economic limits, health risks, and natural disaster susceptibility. This study highlights the resilience of the people, their desire for better housing, the economic constraints of informal employment, the health risks of inadequate sanitation, and their susceptibility to natural disasters. The study's use of ambitious goals and community-based solutions sets it apart from prior research. Access to work is also a major factor in residential preferences, especially in Banjarmasin. This study enhances our understanding of urban life in slums and emphasizes the need for situation-specific urban policy. Our research suggests community-driven projects have great potential, emphasizing the need for localized solutions. This work advances urban planning and development by allowing low-income communities to shape their own futures. Future research should examine the long-term consequences of localized initiatives and the scaling possibilities of community-driven development strategies in urban areas.

Post-disaster recovery of landslides is a big challenge when the available resources are limited. Recovery includes the phases of rehabilitation and reconstruction. It was based on the guidelines of BNPB (National Disaster Management Authority) in Indonesia. This case-study research analyzed the resilience principle for post-disaster recovery. The locus was at Selili Hill, an urban village in Samarinda, East Kalimantan (Indonesia), with several landslides (land creeping) events over the last twenty years. The community and local construction discuss the resilience principle. This study found that the contribution of community resilience and local construction has a significant role to play in the housing recovery. Community involvement was very active during a disaster. They worked with the local government to provide food supplies and emergency shelter to those in need. As a result, the house rehabilitation was quite successful, focusing on social (income) and physical condition. We hope that the post-disaster rehabilitation concept and demonstration will be durable until the local government relocates the settlement.
