Green architecture in tourism sustainable development a case study at Laweyan, Indonesia

ABSTRACT The degradation of local culture is often a consequence of tourist kampung development. However, Laweyan stands out as an example where a tourist village was developed while successfully preserving both the environment and local culture. The research aims to formulate a strategy that promotes a green environment by exploring the potential characteristics of local cultural heritage and emphasizing sustainable preservation. By utilizing an exploratory descriptive method and analyzing the potential and characteristics of the area, the study identified several strategies for developing cultural heritage areas in tourism kampung. These strategies include promoting green communities, establishing green open spaces and infrastructure, implementing green waste management, adopting green transportation, prioritizing green water practices, incorporating green building techniques, and utilizing green energy sources. The implementation of green architecture is one of the key factors for success in sustainable village development. The concept of green architecture involves integrating building design and the environment with the aim of maintaining a balance between quality development and environmental preservation. The successful implementation of these strategies relies on a collaborative social approach that raises awareness and encourages active participation from both the community and the government in preserving the authenticity of the local culture.

The Influence of Cultural Heritage Status on the Quality of Life of Slum Settlement Community

Surabaya is a fast-growing city facing challenges in infrastructure development, posing a threat to cultural heritage and historic areas. The Kalimas area has been abandoned, negatively impacting the environment. Cultural heritage is valuable as it instills pride, holds significance in civilization, and can improve the quality of life (QOL). The World Health Organization (WHO) defines the quality of life as an individual's perception of differences in life based on culture and the surrounding environment. This study aims to determine the impact of physical conditions in slum settlements on the QOL of the community and identify the slum settlement variables that can improve residents' QOL. The study uses a quantitative approach with analytical techniques such as literature review and multiple linear regression to analyze land characteristics, socio-economic factors, and physical characteristics. QOL is measured using the WHOQOL questionnaire. The data collection methods include secondary data from the Department of Housing, Settlement Areas and Land, and Bappedalitbang of Surabaya City, as well as primary data from observations, questionnaires, and interviews with the research sample. The results indicate that slum settlement variables significantly affect four domains of QOL: physical health, psychology, environment, and social relationships. However, physical characteristics partially do not affect the psychological, environmental, and social relationship domains.

Multifactor evaluation of architectural value in historical and cultural heritage area——the case of Dingzi Street, Hanzhong, Shaanxi, China

Historical and cultural heritage areas gradually disappear due to rapid urbanization, urban renewal, and transformation. With China's urban development shifting from incremental planning to stock optimization, protecting historical and cultural landscape areas has gained considerable attention. The development and preservation of these areas have become pivotal research issues. A multi-value-oriented evaluation index system has been established to recognize the haphazard and scientifically unfounded updating and reforming of buildings within historical and cultural landscape areas. This system draws upon and organizes evaluation indices for historical buildings from domestic and international contexts. An empirical test assessed the protection efforts in the Dingzi Street Historical and Cultural Landscape Area in Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province. The results emphasize that the protection of buildings in historical landscape areas should consider the potential for development and construction, the enhancement of residents' living environments, and the economic impact on neighboring areas. In the renewal construction of historical landscape areas, the evaluation of most buildings focuses on economic value, utility, and the feasibility of renovation implementation. The study's conclusions are essential for enhancing the scientific and practical aspects of renewal and renovation methods for buildings in historical and cultural landscape areas. This research provides valuable insights into balancing development and preservation in the evolving urban landscape of China

Bottom-up heritage conservation, tourists' demand and homestays as purveyors of cultural authenticity

ABSTRACT The longstanding dominance of authorized heritage discourse in top-down heritage conservation has overlooked the involvement of stakeholders outside positions of authority, leading to various practical challenges. Homestays as spaces rooted in local culture have gained popularity at cultural heritage sites in China. It presents a unique opportunity to explore heritage conservation by engaging tourists and local residents. This study focuses on homestays in the National Fishing Cultural Heritage Area in Xiangshan, China. The findings, derived from a sample of 282 surveys, reveal a significant positive impact of both tourists’ perceptions of objective authenticity and the effects of existential authenticity of homestays on their satisfaction and loyalty. Homestay hosts who respond to tourists’ needs by providing tangible and intangible authenticities related to local fishing traditions embrace a natural and voluntary approach to heritage conservation, sidestepping the need for top-down mandatory responsibility. This novel approach has given rise to a heritage conservation model that addresses the contemporary challenges of authoritative heritage governance in tourism, providing insights for the critical heritage paradigm and the sustainable management of tourism destinations.

A Preliminary Study of Past Geological Disasters in the Trowulan Majapahit Cultural Heritage Area, Mojokerto Regency, East Java

Abstract Numerous sites found buried in the Trowulan Cultural Heritage Area makes the area suspected of being the capital of the Majapahit Kingdom (13-15th century). The condition of the buried site raises an assumption of a past catastrophic event that hit and buried part of Trowulan area, causing the downfall of the Majapahit Kingdom. This assumption is supported by the existence of several books and inscriptions from the Majapahit Kingdom period that record events interpreted as geological disasters. Although there is a lot of evidence, however, what kind of geological disaster that hit the Trowulan area is not known for certain. This study aims to identify what kind geological disasters that buried the Trowulan Capital area based on previous studies and GIS analysis. The results inferred that flash floods and volcanic eruptions contributed to the burial of Trowulan Capital Region, which is supported by the geographical conditions of the capital city of Trowulan where the northern part is a flood plain and the southern part is part of the Jatirejo alluvial fan. Stratigraphic data collection needs to be carried out in the future as supporting evidence to know the detailed sequence of disaster events and the direction of the disaster flow.

The process of cultural landscape management and environmental protection is carried out in a series: mapping Plaosan temple, determination of zones in Plaosan temple, validation of zones with experts, designation of cultural heritage zones. Results: The results of landscape management and environmental protection research are in the form of a predictive map of the Plaosan Temple cultural heritage site model and a map of the Plaosan Temple integrated zone system which aims to preserve and utilize the land around the plaosan temple so that the landscape and environment can be maintained.

Spiritual places: Spatial recognition of Tibetan Buddhist spiritual perception.

Tibetan Buddhism, as an indigenous religion, has a significant and far-reaching influence in the Tibetan areas of China. This study, focusing on Lhasa, explores the integration of Tibetan Buddhist spiritual perceptions within urban spaces. Employing a novel approach that combines street view data and deep learning technology, the research aims to identify and map the spatial distribution of Tibetan Buddhist spiritual sites against the backdrop of the urban landscape. Our analysis reveals a notable concentration of these spiritual places near urban architectural and cultural heritage areas, highlighting the profound connection between residents' cultural life and spiritual practices. Despite challenges posed by modern urbanisation, these spiritual sites demonstrate resilience and adaptability, continuing to serve as cultural and spiritual pillars of the Tibetan Buddhist community. This study contributes to the fields of urban planning, religious studies, and digital humanities by demonstrating the potential of technology in examining the impact of urban development on cultural and religious landscapes. The research underscores the importance of protecting and integrating spaces of spiritual perception in urban development planning. It shows that safeguarding these spaces is crucial not only for cultural heritage preservation but also for achieving sustainable urban development and social harmony. This study opens new avenues for interdisciplinary research, advocating for a deeper understanding of the dynamic relationship between urban development and spiritual spaces from psychological, sociological, and environmental science perspectives. As urban landscapes evolve, the study emphasises the need to maintain a balance between material sustainability and cultural and spiritual richness in urban planning.

Juridical Analysis of the Position of the Surakarta Kasunanan Palace as a Cultural Heritage Area Linked to the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA)

With the provisions of the Fourth Dictum of the UUPA, regarding the position of the Surakarta Kasunanan Palace as a cultural heritage area, there are still differences of opinion regarding its ownership status. This research aims to examine the position of the Surakarta Kasunanan Palace after the enactment of the UUPA, as well as to analyze the ownership status of the Surakarta Kasunanan Palace as a cultural heritage area. The research method is normative juridical. The type of data used is secondary data. Data analysis techniques using deductive reasoning presented descriptively. The results of this research are: first, the position of the Surakarta Kasunanan Palace after Indonesian Independence, based on: Law Number 10 of 1950 was designated as part of Central Java Province; and based on Law Number 18 of 1965, de jure Swaraja Surakarta was abolished. Then, after the UUPA came into force, the position of the Surakarta Kasunanan Palace should have shifted to the State. However, in reality, currently the Surakarta Palace Sultanate still has and exercises authority over the lands it owns and owns based on Presidential Decree Number 23 of 1988. Second, the ownership status of the Surakarta Kasunanan Palace as a cultural heritage area is stipulated in the Regulation of the Minister of Culture and Tourism Number PM.03/PW.007/MKP/2010 belongs to the Surakarta Kasunanan Palace as an indigenous community in accordance with Article 13 of the Cultural Heritage Law. The Surakarta Kasunanan Palace is a traditional community, because the King is the traditional leader who still has the same territorial area and lineage and has authority within and outside his traditional area. If the Kasunanan Surakarta Palace is interpreted as a traditional institution, and ownership of the land of the Surakarta Kasunanan Palace becomes a customary right for the Surakarta Kasunanan Palace, then as a consequence the Government in taking over the land of the former Surakarta self-government must also pay attention to the principle of recognizing these customary rights.

Methods for Constructing a Refined Early-Warning Model for Rainstorm-Induced Waterlogging in Historic and Cultural Districts

Against the backdrop of increasingly severe global climate change, the risk of rainstorm-induced waterlogging has become the primary threat to the safety of historic and cultural districts worldwide. This paper focuses on the historic and cultural districts of Beijing, China, and explores techniques and methods for identifying extreme rainstorm warnings in cultural heritage areas. Refined warning and forecasting have become important non-engineering measures to enhance these districts’ waterlogging prevention control and emergency management capabilities. This paper constructs a rainstorm-induced waterlogging risk warning model tailored for Beijing’s historical and cultural districts. This model system encompasses three sets of models: a building waterlogging early-warning model, a road waterlogging early-warning model, and a public evacuation early-warning model. During the construction of the model, the core concepts and determination methods of “1 h rainfall intensity water logging index” and “the waterlogging risk index in historical and cultural districts” were proposed. The construction and application of the three models take into full account the correlation between rainfall intensity and rainwater accumulation, while incorporating the characteristics of flood resilience in buildings, roads, and the society in districts. This allows for a precise grading of warning levels, leading to the formulation of corresponding warning response measures. Empirical tests have shown that the construction method proposed in this paper is reliable. The innovative results not only provide a new perspective and method for the early-warning of rainstorm-induced waterlogging, but also offer scientific support for emergency planning and response in historical and cultural districts.

Place Attachment On Kayutangan Cultural-Heritage Area As Sustainable Public Space

Reserving heritage areas has become a topic that has been discussed very frequently in recent years. What is interesting about preserving heritage areas is the active interaction that connects tangible and intangible elements. This active interaction is usually called place attachment. In the revitalization of the Kayutangan area, the government's efforts to revive the area with the concept of a heritage area are closely related to the attachment that local communities have to their place of life. Therefore, this research was conducted to find out, evaluate, and understand how places are attached to the Kayutangan area as a cultural heritage area. The research was conducted using descriptive and qualitative evaluative methods by conducting field observations and literature studies. The data obtained was evaluated using an analysis unit to see the qualifications that the Kayutangan area must fulfill as a public cultural heritage area.

Bordering Principles and Integration in Urban Context: Parallel Insights from Lund and Irbid

In this paper we reflect on how bordering emerge in urban integration processes in relation to two geopolitical belongings. The paper emanates from a performative dialogic event, labelled Lund Irbid Parallel Walk connecting two geopolitical regions: one in Europe through the city of Lund in the South of Sweden, and one in the Middle East that is Irbid located in the North of Jordan. Here, we reflect on key places addressed through this staged dialogic event, looking into bordering processes and their effects in and around the two cities. By addressing cultural heritage areas, official government buildings, but above all areas where newcomers have settled, or been placed within the lay-out of the two cities, we trace histories, architecture, and contestations around different bordering processes, exploring how they have been shifting, and emerging. The geopolitical belongings of Lund and Irbid, representing a division between a global North and South, show interesting local complexities as regards ways of handling housing for newcomers, especially refugees, linked to the history of neighboring relations on minor as well as major scales. In this paper we point to varying mechanisms of integration in the two cities, as regards how local border-formation appears, especially as related to architectural and urban transformation. 

Cultural soundscape as intangible or tangible cultural heritage

Soundscape is a collection of sounds that individuals feel and understand in the context of a built environment. The soundscape is often associated with audial comfort in urban spaces. Nevertheless, soundscape investigation in historical areas requires different parameters. Sound is comprehended not only from the sound object and the sound wave per se but also from its meaning and identity representation of the cultural heritage area. Therefore, this paper examines soundscape studies in historic areas to explain cultural soundscapes as tangible or intangible cultural heritage. The author interprets the findings from the cultural soundscape research group to become a theoretical and conceptual explanation of the existing phenomenon. Based on observations in urban kampungs in Yogyakarta-Indonesia, namely Musikanan, Sayidan, and Pujokusuman, a cultural soundscape exists as a collection of sounds with a significant identity, meaning and spatial forming values which show the cultural image of a location. This preliminary study also demonstrates the significance of the soundscape in evaluating the intangible elements of urban place experience. The conception of a cultural soundscape is advantageous in providing research directions for intangible cultural heritage in Indonesia.
