Dea Harum Nugrahaini — 2024-03-31

According to the 'Encyclopedia of 20th Century Architecture', the form of a building must be derived from the fulfillment of the function it serves [1]. The form obtained can also be one aspect of the characteristics of an architectural style, such as in Futuristic Architecture. This research takes a case study of the Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE) building, BSD. Based on theoretical studies in various literatures, the characteristics of the Futuristic Architecture form are formulated, which are (1) dynamic form, (2) varying dimensions, (3) colors and textures are more striking but still simple, (4) shape and orientation can be interpreted differently from various positions, and (5) unstable visual inertia. The research used the descriptive-qualitative method, which describes the form of Futuristic Architecture found in the case study based on these five characteristics. Based on the analysis, it found that the ICE BSD building is suitable for the characteristic of the Futuristic Architecture form that affects the function of the convention building, and it can concluded that the Futuristic Architecture form has suitability in form, dimensions, color, texture, and visual inertia aspect, and unsuitability in position and orientation aspect.

Effectiveness of Inclusive Design for Children with Disabilities in Nigerian Education Buildings

Salawu Ahmed — 2024-03-31

The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) report that twenty million Nigerian children lack access to basic school education. This is due to inadequate support for children with unique educational needs and impairments in primary school buildings. This study aims to assess how inclusive design ideas have been applied in Abuja public primary school buildings to accommodate children with unusual academic needs, including disabilities, in Nigeria. A descriptive study design with a survey technique was employed as the methodology. A standardised questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale was used to collect information and was delivered to a sample size of 133 people. According to the data, physically challenged pupils and older staff were more concerned with the proportions of overall desires and security, skills, and perception. Additionally, no ramps were installed in the school buildings, prohibiting disabled students from moving vertically, and students with impairments have difficulty reaching areas of conveniences. These findings indicate that inclusive design ideas have not been included into the architectural designs of Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) community primary academic buildings. The findings suggest the need for strong legislation to create an inclusive design special unit to ensure all architectural designs meet FCTA institutional standards for primary school building delivery

Nurlisa Ginting — 2024-03-31

Tourism initiatives that benefit both local populations and tourists contribute to long-term tourism growth. In order to build sustainable tourism, tourist locations must prioritize comfort. Comfort is extremely important in the tourist sector. It has a significant impact on travelers' decisions to visit touristic sites. Noise, cleanliness, traffic (both human and vehicle), the availability of public amenities, and local social contact all have an impact on comfort in the tourist industry. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of self-efficacy in the comfort zone of sustainable tourism in Indonesia's Pangururan District and Samosir Regency. A mixed method approach was used, involving the distribution of 268 questionnaires to visitors and residents, as well as interviews with representatives from the Samosir Regency. The results of the study show that self-efficacy comfort levels fall short of what is required for sustainable tourism. Reasonably high standards are met by the public facilities, which include parking spaces, roads, walkways, trash storage places, clean water, and information signs in both local and foreign languages. However, the degree of support for individuals with disabilities, waste disposal, and recycling activities falls short of the adequate standards. Thus, it is imperative to take more significant steps to ensure that all tourists can access and enjoy tourist destinations without any inconvenience. The recommendations for infrastructure and facility improvements are necessary to meet sustainable tourism standards and enhance the comfort aspect of tourism in the Pangururan District.
