SMART CITY IMPLEMENTATION IN BEKASI CITY
Full text linkThe advancement of information and communication technology has had a major impact on the world as it increases the fulfillment of people's needs and comfort. This can be seen in urban development with the formation of the concept of a smart city, a city that integrates technological advances with people's lives to make effective decisions so as to improve the welfare of its people. This paper discussed the implementation of the smart city concept in Bekasi City, Indonesia. Along with its development, there are several applications of smart city elements in Bekasi City that are still far from expectations regarding the service quality and coverage. This study aims to see how smart city pillars are implemented in Bekasi City. Nonparticipant observation is used to conduct the study. The result shows that the range of smart city applications in Bekasi City is quite narrow and some service quality is still poor. Only 10 out of 21 criteria have been fulfilled in the city. This research needs further study on the implementation of smart cities in other Indonesian cities to see the effectiveness of its application and other solutions that can be offered

DESIGN CRITERIA OF MODERN SHOPPING CENTRE BUILDING BASED ON PUBLIC PEDESTRIAN SPACE
No full textMobility contributes to quality of life (Muller, 2016). In Indonesia, shopping centre buildings and urban pedestrian spaces have not been supporting each other in accommodating public pedestrian mobility. It lets people to drive more automobiles instead of walking even though their settlements are actually convenient from the commercial places. This problem is further causing the other matters such as traffic jam, accidence, air pollution, anxiety, and so on. By considering this problem, it is important to transform the design criteria of the modern shopping centre building to be not only serving as commercial destinations, but also space for public pedestrians that provides good mobility in urban environment, so that the walking lifestyle could be popular again in Indonesia. This research is aimed to identify design criteria of modern shopping centre buildings that are based on public pedestrian space. The criteria is expected to be new standard in planning and designing future shopping centre buildings in Indonesian cities. The Evaluative Method is utilized in this research involving a theory of Urban Mobility as the main parameter
SUSTAINABILITY OF KAMPUNG HIJAU KEPUTIH TEGAL TIMUR TO THE CONCEPT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Full text linkSurabaya as one of the cities in Indonesia that is developing towards a smart city. One of the supporting parts in sustainable urban development is settlement, both formal and informal. Kampung Hijau Keputih Tegal Timur, is used as the object of a case study to discuss the sustainable development of residential cities in Surabaya. This kampung was chosen because it has implemented several aspects of sustainability. This research was conducted to identify and assess the condition of Kampung Hijau Keputih Tegal Timur based on the sustainable development goals (SDG), and environmental & urban settlement concerns which are used as indicator. The results showed that Kampung Hijau Keputih Tegal Timur has fulfilled almost all aspects of the indicators of sustainable development goals and environmental concern & urban settlements. However, there are some unfulfilled indicators between "no poverty" and "life on land". So that a follow-up is needed to Kampung Hijau Keputih Tegal Timur in order to create a green kampung
THE EXISTENCE OF COMMUNITY SPACES OUTSIDE THE FLAT BLOCK AFFECTED BY ACTIVITIES OF LOWINCOME RESIDENTS
Full text linkCulture as a system includes ideas, concepts, rules, and meanings. It underlies the expression of human life and a system of common sense as a result of the social process. It emphasizes an abstract thing rather than concrete ones. Behavior as cultural expressions deals with the relationship between one another. The resident's social activities cannot be implemented as desired which causes them to find new places that can meet the user's behavior and culture. If the behavior and community space used are appropriate, they will continue to develop their lives in the same place. Furthermore, they can attract people from other blocks to join.The process of utilizing existing facilities and treating nature according to the social system of low-income users need environmental adaptation. This study explores the existence of community spaces outside the building in a flat environment related to the behavior and culture of residents as users. This assessment is based on community togetherness in community spaces, either planned or unplanned.The research method used is Descriptive-Qualitative-Exploratory, with interviews of selected respondents. The number and the origin of residents who gathered in the community with various activities are the indications of the suitability of the community space. Low-income residents generally meet somewhere with a variety of diverse needs. The existence of planned community space is used maximally. This space is used by many people for various needs. For low-income residents, this place can meet their interests simultaneously. It means that the place will be used based on the functions, the fragmentation of togetherness, focused activities, consistency, the user's character, affordability, and environment order
HOUSE DESIGN VARIABLES IN PROVIDING INDOOR THERMAL COMFORT IN WARM HUMID CLIMATE
Full text linkBuilding design variables in warm-humid tropics have been widely studied using various approaches. In the climate, achieving low inside air temperature is challenged by high relative humidity for providing comfort. Therefore, this study aims at finding various ways in house design to achieve naturally indoor thermal comfort. In this case, house design variables were analyzed by using TAS (Thermal Analysis Software) building simulation software as well as supported by literature reviews. The simulations undertaken in this research used simple models to which are applied some house design variables to determine the best way to reduce inside air temperature. The simulation used the weather data of Banda Aceh city as the case study. In this article the house design variables are discussed in the following aspects: shape, house orientation, ventilation, shading, building materials, and environmental aspect.

FUTURE PROOF CONSTRUCTION WITH INNOVATIVE SUSTAINABLE BUILDING MATERIALS
Full text linkIt is unquestionable that the construction performance needs to improve, despite itsimportance to the national economies. This industry is commonly characterized as one that is labour intensive, rather polluting, non-sustainable, with a low level of innovation compared to other sectors. Lessons from the past in other sectors indicate that a sequence of innovations pushed forward productivity and performance, reflecting the existence of a technology and knowledge base amongst the players in those sectors. Notwithstanding some innovative developments in the course of time, a wide spread change of performance on large scale in construction is limited. The objective of this paper is to discuss strategies to enhance the development and use of innovative sustainable building materials in construction. It draws on empirical evidence and contemporary theoretic views regarding the factors impeding or stimulating innovation. These learn that innovationsrequire strong collaboration amongst the construction players in the industry network to achieve sustainability in construction.
