Abstract

The environmental condition of particular landscape contributes to the way of life of people living inside it. The characteristic of Gunung Sewu karst landscape in the south of Gunungkidul Regency causes the regular drought every year. The communities who live in the area, in which the majority of them work as traditional farmers, deal with such situations and gradually adapt to harmonize their lives with those conditions. In order to cultivate their land more intensively under the pressure of environmental conditions, the farmers build omah alas, a simple house to live around their field. Omah alas has characteristics as result of the relationship between people and landscape. This paper aims to identify the characteristics of omah alas as living space for traditional farmers in karst area, specifically in Kemadang Village, and the influencing factors. This research used qualitative approach and the data were collected by field observations and informant interviews. The results showed that there are three types of space layout that are caused by site conditions. The influence of spatial character is reinforced by economic motives.

Abstract

Walking is an important element of accessibility because it can increase the livability of a city. Peunayong as a trade and service center as well as a heritage area has very diverse activities with high intensity. The density of activities in Peunayong causes high vehicle accessibility which causes congestion in the area, parking on site which narrows the space for pedestrians and vehicles. In addition, pedestrian facilities in Peunayong still do not facilitate pedestrians because of the mixing of various activities in one lane, such as circulation, parking, and trading. In creating a pedestrian-friendly, it is necessary to plan and design good pedestrian facilities, by paying attention to the characteristics of pedestrians and their district. Walkability is one of the concepts for a walkable area. The approach in this study is by adopting the walkability theory as a reference. The focus of this research is to determine the quality of walkability in Peunayong. The method of analysis uses descriptive analysis. Those that formed walkability which will become parameters in this study are Connected, Convenient, Comfort, Convivial, Conspicuous through pedestrian paths and crossings, circulation activity, block size, spatial enclosure and humanscale, open space and vegetation, street furniture and signage.
