Analysis of Justified Plan Graphs on Subsidized Flats in DKI Jakarta

2024-10-30T10:44:05+07:00

The Justified Plan Graph (JPG) is a technique developed in the late 1970s and developed for 20 years as a means to do qualitative and quantitative research especially for spatial structure or permeability of buildings. With JPG, we can study the economic-socio-cultural conditions of the occupants. For example, the location of the balcony with a deep step depth shows that the space is a private area which space for hanging clothes out for drying. It also shows that clothes dryers are not yet popular among residents. The government of DKI Jakarta is currently building many subsidized flats to solve the housing stock problem. There are 15 unit types of them that each resident unit consists of 1 living room, 2 bedrooms, 1 kitchen, 1 bathroom and 1 laundry room. This research purpose to find out the JPG of 5 type of residentâ€™s unit lay out whether there is sameness. Based on these JPGs, it was found that 3 of 5 JPG layouts are same. It means that there might be a sameness of thought between DKI Jakarta Government, the architetcs and other stake holders about the way of DKI Jakarta residentâ€™s life that they shoud be accommodated. Such as busy life which demands high accesibility between each room for doing multiple works simultaneously so that they provide shallow step depth of each room and other interesting findings.

The Influence of Vertical Housing Development on the Spatial Structure in Medan Petisah District

2025-03-20T09:35:10+07:00

Residential land is becoming less available as Medan city centers continue to
grow. As a result, land and house values have skyrocketed. In addition, the
increasing number of city dwellers has made it more difficult to supply the
demand for housing. One way to solve this problem is to build vertikal
buildings that provide vertikal hunian that can satisfy the needs of the local
populace. Perimahan vertikal may be a necessary and practical measure for the
general public who wish to interact with workplaces, public spaces,
educational institutions, and other activities.Vertical buildings are buildings
that have a perpendicular shape and arrangement from bottom to top. Low-rise
buildings have three or four layers of floors or a height of + 10 meters, while
high-rise buildings have more than four layers of floors and a height of more
than 10 meters. Vertical buildings or multi-storey buildings have several
influences, including land efficiency. Vertical use of space can increase land
efficiency. House prices. Demand for space. Multi-storey buildings are built to
meet the high demand for space in the area. Multi-storey buildings are built
because of limited expensive land in urban areas.The demand for apartments
becomes a wise investment when the population of urban areas continues to
expand but there is a lack of equivalent urban land for housing. With its large
capacity, vertical housing may produce green open space in a vertical setting.

Architectural Regionality in the Formation of Regional Identity in Medan City

2025-03-20T10:09:42+07:00

The development of the times and socio-cultural changes have had a significant impact on architecture, often eroding regional identity and cultural heritage that have been formed over centuries. This is evident in the revitalization of heritage areas, where regional design elements are less integrated, especially in contemporary practices. This study proposes a policy to implement regional architectural design and organize outdoor spaces in cultural heritage revitalization projects. Using architectural design methods, this study aims to create a "right" approach that combines historical monumentalism with contemporary aesthetics. Conceptual strategies such as contextual juxtaposition are used to enhance the design and character of the environment, with a focus on aesthetics and functionality. This approach aims to revitalize underutilized historic buildings by integrating new structures and materials, regenerating a sense of identity and value. This study provides a foundation for cultural and architectural policies in urban development, encompassing physical, economic, and social aspects while encouraging community involvement and ownership.

Study on effect of Uneven Settlement of Foundation on Structure Supported by Foundation with Different Elevations

2025-03-29T07:21:58+07:00

The structure supported by foundation with different elevations, which the foundation is supported at different elevations, is one of the most commonly used structural types in hillside buildings. In this structure, the uneven settlement of the foundation generates internal forces in the structure. In this paper, the effect of foundation uneven settlement on the internal force of the structure in a hillside building is analyzed.

The results showed that even small uneven settlements also can generate large internal forces in the structure, while internal forces mainly occur in the beams connecting the upper and lower support storey, and relatively large internal forces occur in the supporting columns of upper embedding storey.

When the uneven settlement occurs, the beam mainly generates shear and bending moments and the axial force is relatively small. The column mainly generates axial and bending moments, and tensile internal force is occurred in the some beams. The results obtained in this paper can be referred to the structural design of the hillside building structure and serve as a basis for further research.

Impact of Gating Characteristics On Place Dependence In FESTAC Housing Estate, Nigeria

2025-03-20T10:13:27+07:00

The evolutions of urban spaces has brought about diverse residential typologies which often end up as gated. This has implications for behavioural outcomes. The study examines the impact of gating characteristics on placed dependence in urban residential neighbourhoods. Qualitative survey method was used to collect primary data through the use of questionnaires and observation checklists. Nine neighbourhoods were identified within the study area with four (4) of them characterized as Single Family and five (5) multiple family house types. The study finds that gate (ing) was accorded greater priority and hence its prevalence regardless of house types. Nevertheless single family neighbourhoods have higher gating attributes than multiple family neighbourhoods. Also by comparative advantage place dependence is more pronounced in Single Family Neighbourhoods than the Multiple Family. Overall, the study finds that gating systems, speed bumps, security patrol gate house, and security signage are the significant predictors of place dependence in FESTAC. The findings therefore validates the increasing popularity of gating in the shaping of the urban residential environment and therefore needs to be considered as a critical facility that serves functional utility by urban planners and designers as a goal to improve place dependence attributes in urban residential environment.
