2025-06-30T10:27:53+07:00

Pangkajene Central Market is one of the largest traditional markets in Sidenreng Rappang Regency, South Sulawesi, and plays a vital role in driving the local community’s economy. However, the market continues to face various challenges related to service quality and the adequacy of its physical infrastructure. Traditional markets are often associated with poor environmental conditions, suboptimal services, and a lack of supporting facilities. Issues such as disorganized spatial layout, limited parking accessibility, inefficient vendor zoning, and inadequate loading and unloading areas highlight the urgent need for market restructuring. While the Sidenreng Rappang Regency Government has shown commitment to improving public infrastructure, including traditional markets, a comprehensive plan for the revitalization of Pangkajene Central Market is still lacking. This study employs an analytical approach based on the variables outlined in the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) for traditional markets to identify current problems and provide an initial overview of the potential and needs for physical restructuring. The results of this research are expected to serve as a preliminary reference for planning a more decent, well-organized traditional market that effectively supports economic activities and user comfort.

Urban Architectural Characteristics as a Reflection of Local Identity in Urban Areas

2025-07-03T09:30:32+07:00

Urban architecture not only serves as a space for human activities but also represents the local identity that grows and develops over time. This research aims to identify and analyze the characteristics of urban architecture that reflect local values in Tanete Riaja District. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data was collected through field observations, visual documentation, and interviews with community leaders and relevant parties. The results show that architectural elements such as building forms, local materials, spatial layouts, and cultural symbols are closely connected to the history, traditions, and social life of the local community. The local identity in the urban architecture of Tanete Riaja is reflected in the continuity of cultural values that are preserved despite the process of modernization. This study is expected to contribute to the preservation of local identity in urban planning and development in the future.

A Study of Contextual Architectural Approaches in the Arrangement of Public Spaces in Enrekang City Park

2025-07-03T10:03:18+07:00

Enrekang City Park is one of the most popular public open spaces and has become a main destination for the community to engage in physical activities, relax, and socialize, both on weekdays and weekends. The presence of various facilities such as pedestrian pathways, children's play areas, and seating has supported the park’s function as a recreational space for the public. However, it is important to further examine whether the park has been designed with an approach that considers the environmental, social, and cultural context of Enrekang. Contextual architecture is an approach that emphasizes the relationship between design and both the physical and non-physical conditions of a region, including aspects such as culture, climate, topography, and user behavior. Through this approach, the city park is expected not only to serve as a functional green space, but also to reflect local identity and create comfort aligned with the character of the local community. This research aims to identify, analyze, and evaluate the extent to which the principles of contextual architecture have been applied in the layout of Enrekang City Park. Using a descriptive-qualitative method and a case study approach, this study will observe the park’s design elements from both physical and socio-cultural aspects that support the creation of a contextual public space. The results of this research are expected to provide input for planners, architects, and local governments in creating city parks that are aligned with local character and community needs.

Public Space Development Model After Large-Scale Slum Area Revitalization in Maros Regency: A Case Study of Allepolea and Maccini Baji Areas, Lau District

2025-07-03T20:23:48+07:00

The arrangement of slum areas is one of the important strategies in realizing a livable, healthy, and sustainable residential environment. However, after the arrangement, there is often a vacancy in social functions in the area due to the suboptimal utilization of public spaces. This study aims to formulate a model for the development of inclusive and adaptive public spaces in large-scale post-slum arrangement areas, using case studies in the Allepolea and Maccini Baji areas, Lau District, Maros Regency, which have a total slum area of 17.23 hectares. The research method used is a qualitative-descriptive approach with data collection techniques including field observation, in-depth interviews, questionnaire surveys, and a review of planning documents (RTRW 2022–2042). The results show that there is an urgent need for public spaces that can accommodate social activities, informal economic activities, and interactions between residents. Based on the analysis, an alternative model for public spaces based on local needs is formulated, which includes functional, ecological, and socio-cultural aspects. This model is expected to serve as a reference for planning public spaces in residential areas that have been arranged, both in Maros and in other similar areas.

Patterns of Interactive Space Utilization in Public Facilities of Enrekang City Park: A Biophilic Design Approach Study

2025-07-03T21:05:26+07:00

Public spaces such as city parks play an important role in supporting social activities and community interactions. Taman Kota Enrekang is one of the green open spaces that is frequently used by various groups for recreational, educational, and community activities. This study aims to examine the usage patterns of interactive spaces in Taman Kota Enrekang through a biophilic design approach, which integrates natural elements to enhance the comfort and well-being of users. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques including field observations, interviews, and documentation. The results show that specific zones in the park, such as open seating areas, community stages, and nature literacy spaces, are more frequently used for gathering, discussions, and arts and educational activities. Biophilic elements such as lush vegetation, natural lighting, and water features contribute to user comfort and increase the duration and intensity of social interactions. These findings can serve as a basis for designing and developing public spaces that are responsive to the social and ecological needs of the community.
