Devi Adillah Nuraini — 2023-10-31

Coronavirus disease has implications for changes to home arrangements. Kampung Inggris is an educational village in Tulungrejo Village and Palem Village, Pare, Kediri, East Java that offers language learning activities. There are at least 60 course institutions that are active during the COVID pandemic. In terms of architecture, the course institution building is a residential house that has been developed into a house for residence and business, showing the use of dual functions. Changes or adjustments to the house are made so as not to limit daily activities in the house with a dual function as a residence with an educational course business function during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to reveal the various changes in business housing that were carried out during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research was conducted using qualitative research methods to describe changes in depth. The variety of changes was analyzed by making a typology of the types of changes that occurred. The results showed that the most common changes found were the changes in space elements. They are, firstly, interior-element changes by dividing the space using semi-fixed elements made of wood planks for restroom needs. The second is outdoor-element changes by adding furniture for other business activities and study rooms in the form of chairs and tables.

THE DISTRICT'S LIVABILITY OF SURAKARTA CITY

Lintang Praharyaning Suryono — 2023-10-31

Livability is the ability of a place to provide a comfortable and healthy atmosphere for living, doing activities, or working, which is built through urban physical order, accessibility of city services, ease of mobility, an opportunity to participate, and protection of nature so that all residents have a good quality of life. In Indonesia, the city that has the best livability value is Surakarta. However, livability in this city does not seem available to all residents because the service facilities are not evenly distributed in some areas, and many people still live in slums. Therefore, this study was structured to measure the livability of the Surakarta City area using a quantitative deductive approach. The analysis technique used is geospatial data processing and scoring. As a result, the three observed areas have fairly good livability with different scores.

AN APPLICATION OF OPTIMIZATION IN DISTANCE AND TIME TRAVEL OF SOLID WASTE COLLECTION IN TANGERANG MUNICIPALITY

Radhitya Martha Eka Dewi — 2023-10-31

Solid waste management has become a major challenge due to strong urban population growth in many developing countries. As one of Indonesia's highest-density population cities, Tangerang City faces the disorganization of the solid waste management system handled by the government. This study aims to create an alternative solid waste disposal transportation by modelling the route and the number of trips. The initial step in reducing the unnecessary distance is redesigning the landfill area's vehicle pool. The vehicles should start and end the activity at the landfill. The calculation of OD pair distance uses Google API in the specific departure time by inputting coordinate data such as longitude and latitude. The application simultaneously applied the documentation of distance and time to 338 waste collection points. The data result is compiled in the distance matrix to find the closest destination between the collection point. The combination of collection points must meet the capacity requirement. Lastly, the new vehicle task is taken from the optimized routes. Compared to the current system, the new collection plan can achieve a reduction of 8% in the distance driven and 4% in the collection time. The development model is beneficial in shortening the distance driven and the travel time.

DETERMINANTS OF THE OPTICAL ILLUSIONS EFFECT ON THE DALEM AGENG PRABAYEKSA ROOF, DALEM MANGKUBUMEN AREA, YOGYAKARTA

Muhammad Riyan Subastian — 2023-10-31

Javanese buildings can be understood both physically and non-physically, one of them is the Dalem Ageng Prabayeksa which is in the Dalem Mangkubumen complex. This building has the most important and sacred position in the complex with the uniqueness of the hip roof (limasan), which cannot be found in other hip roof buildings. This study focuses on optical illusions that occur on the roof of the building in front (south) and rear (north) views using explorative descriptive methods. Optical illusions that affect visual perception occur because of the imaginary perspective lines formed from the diagonals of the roof of the building so that an illusion is created that make the roof of the building look wider and taller than it should be. The roof of the building is also formed from proportions that are in accordance with the reference for the building as a house and the building as a place of worship (temples) which supports how optical illusions can occur so that a visual perspective and meaning behind the design of the roof appears which makes sense and is in line with the position of the Dalem Ageng Prabayeksa building as the most important and sacred building in the Dalem Mangkubumen complex.
