Abstract

This study aims to find out the intensity of light in the study room of Islamic boarding school of DDI Lil Banat Parepare. Measurements are taken in rooms that are often used by students to learn, namely classes and dormitories. The type of research used is quantitative by simulation method. Variables are tied to exposure measurement i.e. light intensity. While the variables are free, namely the arrangement of light points and the layout of the study room. Measurements were carried out over three days using a digital lux meter tool. The measurement results showed that the intensity of light in the dormitory did not meet the Indonesian National Standard for study space both night and day. During the day classrooms meet Indonesian National Standards but not at night. Although students as a space user is comfortable with the condition of light intensity in the study room and can learn according to these conditions, students still feel some complaints in the form of sore eyes, tense eyes and difficulty focusing. Thus, researchers made recommendations on the design of study rooms that can make students more comfortable learning in dormitories and classrooms so as to reduce complaints while studying. Lighting design recommendations are made in several alternatives by adding the number of lamps and changing the type of lamp using Dialux simulation. The simulation results of the study room lighting design recommendations have met the standards for use so that it can be applied to dormitories and classes at the Islamic boarding school of DDI Lil Banat Parepare.

Abstract

The architecture of traditional house of the Tolaki tribe has characteristics that indicate the activities, identity and socio-cultural values of the community. This study aims to examine the function, space, form, and meaning of the traditional house of the Tolaki tribe. Field surveys were conducted at Meluhu Village in Meluhu District and Asambu Village in Unaaha District of Konawe Regency. This research is qualitative with phenomenological method. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, and document studies. The objects of research were is Laika Mbuu and Laika Aha houses which were selected from nine forms of Laika in Konawe Regency using purposive-criteria sampling technique. Data were analyzed descriptively, then the results were discussed and associated with relevant theories. The result reveals that the function of Laika Mbuu and Laika Aha is formerly the residence a Mokole (King) and a place to hold traditional ceremonies. However nowadays Laika Mbuu has become a communal gathering place and other public purposes, whereas Laika Aha become a customary house for ceremonial events. The spatial arrangement of Laika Mbuu has no partition so that the local community carries out all activities in one open space, whereas Laika Aha contains partitions that divide the space into several rooms. Both the Laika Mbuu and Laika Aha have a rectangular building shape. The square shape on the building facade shows a bottom container called Kalo Sara, which is a set of objects as symbol of social class and has a meaning as customary law in the Tolaki community. This research concludes that both the Laika Mbuu and Laika Aha have similar function and form, however different spatial arrangement. Both the Laikas express many symbolic meanings, among others that the house as symbol of a human body, and the residents symbolize organs of the human body, so that once the house is built and filled, it must try to protect itself from all obstacles and calamities.
