Abstract

Eco-urban settlement is integrated concept of environment sustainability and urban settlement. As a dominant element in urban area, housing plays a critical role in producing sustainable settlement as it significantly influences physical environmental quality as well as social and economic productivity. The provision of decent housing therefore become strategic approach to produce such a strong urban community that will functions as an importance factor in enhancing urban sustainability. However, it is not a simple idea as housing decency is a conditional aspect with regard to heterogeneous needs and housing characteristics. In dealing with urban housing insufficiency, the Government of Indonesia has introduced a housing ownership program for low to mid income people. This strategy in some extent offers social, economic and environmental benefits and forms strong neighbourhood and communities that will be valuable capital for enhancing urban sustainability. However, this strategy does not present its incentives as it puts its orientation on quantitative measure rather than social aspect. This paper exposes the condition of low-mid income housing policy implementation in relation to eco-urban settlement process. The fact that about 40.2% of abandoned low-mid income houses in the municipality of Bekasi, in West Java, Indonesia indicates the importance of social dimension in dealing with sustainable urban settlement objectives. Regression analysis of data both at macro and micro levels discloses the correlation between low mid people needs and the abandonment. The result shows the importance of integrating social dimension into the housing provision strategy for effectively achievingeco-urban settlement goal.

Abstract

The main reason of The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) agreed in thegeneral session of the UN in 2000 was to respond to the alarming situation ofpoverty experienced by a large number of people all over the world, from developing countries to developed countries seen after the 2007-2008 financialcrisis that not yet over, and no effective solution has yet to be found for the US and EU. Japan is still struggling very hard to revive their slumbering economy with no solution in sight. In overcoming poverty problem, simple financial intervention such as special grant given to the poor by the Indonesian government was not a solution rather to appease people from political sentiment cause by economic and financial problem after a certain political decision was made, such as increasing the price of vehicle fuel. Poverty can effectively be resolve if the poor can be freed from their burden, especially if the burden was caused by inability of government to fulfill their responsibility and duty as given by the constitution and laws. Next as important is the fact that people were given a wide possibility to achieve their live time goals of what they wanted to be. As most part of a city consist of housing and human settlements, it is extremely important to put the human dimension as focus for housing and human settlements development. This paper will draw and learn the lessons from the vast experience in rebuilding housing and human settlements after the mega disaster in Aceh and Nias (late 2004) as well as what the city governmenthas done in lowering the number of its citizens categorized as the poor. If Vitruvius postulates that architecture consist or aimed mainly in the excellence of the dimension of beauty, strength and function, than it is also important to include the human aspect as the fourth dimension. Housing and human settlements development is not a self standing endeavor but it is part of a wider intervention needed to resolve the poverty issues of people that has to struggle to make ends meet for their family.

Abstract

The importance of concern for the human dimension in sustainable design and engineering solutions for housing is the issue discussed in paper. It is based on literature studies. Sustainable housing encompasses the provision of residential buildings in a simultaneous pursuit to well-balance three dimensions: (1) economic dimension; (2) ecological dimension; (3) social or human dimension. This implies the promotion of capabilities by which individuals can fulfill their needs in ways that best suit them; consistent with their socio-cultural values and affordability whilst not exhausting the natural environment. The housing backlog and the need for adequate housing especially for low income households is still high in many countries. To cope with housing problems, Low Income Housing projects were carried out throughout the world. The literature studies showed that the majority of research on functionality and adaptability of the houses to meet the requirements of individual households has taken place in advanced countries. Most studies tended to focus on technological issues being divorced from user demands, lifestyle and domestic activities. Further research onto the human dimension in design and engineering solutions for sustainable low income housing in DCs is evident.

Abstract

“Wouldn’t it be great if high-rise blocks simply fell apart when we no longer needthem? Or if an office building turned back to sand and earth once its occupantsmoved to a new commercial estate? We have to get away from the idea that we’re building for eternity.” This idea was the beginning of our lifespan research at the Eindhoven University of Technology in 1990; to develop buildings without waste at the end of their lifetime, was the main focus. During this period we’ve realised buildings with a lifespan of twenty, five and a hundred years. From 1990 till now we’ve made interesting steps. We made the step from sustainability to a more ecological approach. The threat is that buildings are no longer only the result of a brief from the client, but become more and more temporary envelops for their occupant’s business. At a certain point in time no one can or will use this envelope. Therefore it is very important that the used building materials will become part of either a biological or a technological cycle in order for it not to end up as waste.

Abstract

Global warming is an issue that trend today. Awareness needed to perform its main energy efficiency is the energy cooling operations. Its because energy is related to the operational life of the thermal comfort of occupants to perform daily activities. This paper identifies residential design typology of house type 60 as a building envelope design and configuration space. The research determines the thermal performance and explore a simple house type 60 for its energy efficiency. In general, this paper aims to identify the typology of house type 60 that is associated with the operational cooling energy savings, as well as opportunities for what can be done to conserve energy by using architecture bioclimatic approach. The main benefits expected is to provide guidance on design concepts (via the model) based energy efficient cooling for modest residential type 60 in the humid tropics in order to conserve energy and create a healthy neighborhood. It need the dweller to adopt what they want to be in their own house. The fourth dimension in housing is a strenght that enable people to materialise their house to what they envisioned and using it to achieved what they intended to be.

Abstract

Due to the rapid aging of the Dutch population and aging-in-place policies, anincreasing demand for suitable dwellings focused on the human dimension of construction is to be expected. This global issue of aging in place is a wakeup call for us architects to move towards constructions that empower this active aging. A significant contribution can be provided by “Domotics”; which is defined as the advanced technological equipments and services in the domestic environment to sustain and to enhance the quality of aging in place as well as empowerment of the senior citizen (in daily life). This paper is based on literature review, qualitative and quantitative studies i) it seeks to inform the development of domotics technology in the living environment of the older adults; ii) it provides an overview of the multiplicity of needs and attitudes of the older citizens in regards to smart technology in the domestic environment; iii) and develops recommendations to incorporate domotics in the architectural structure of the dwelling keeping the Human factor in mind. This study on senior citizens’ needs and attitudes toward domotics is based upon a triangulation of cohort-group discussions, enabling techniques and in-depth interviews followed by a postal questionnaire survey. The findings indicate that needs, perceptions, environmental and personal attributes of the seniors determine their attitudes towards automation. This attitude can be described as ‘critical/positive’. Too much automation, where little or no consideration is put towards the user’s needs, is regarded as undesirable. Ethical considerations are particularly related to, professional stakeholders, especially caregivers, whereas seniors are mainly interested in the functionality of domotics. The integration and domestication of domotics in a house needs to be a synthesis of the user’s needs, technology, the living environment, services and healthcare.To enable aging in place and the acceptance of (care through) domotics we need, i) to familiarize inhabitants with smart technology, ii) to domesticate and personalize it, iii) as well as to (imperceptibly) apply need-based technology in the (pre-existing) homes.

Abstract

Earthquake is a natural phenomenon occurs in Indonesia. Naturally, earthquake does not kill people, but buildings do. People were killed by the fallen debris of building parts when earthquake occurred. The key to create an entire building lies on the joint system which is why most of building failures occurred on the joint system. Prawiro et all (2010) stated that G-Feet Structural Joint System is the future alternative reversible structural joint system designed based on gecko’s feet concept. The research by Andari et all (2011) found that the joint system was optimum in shear stresses which were mostly created by lateral forces of earthquake. The idea was more lateral forces would lead the joint system to become stickier. Sticky brushes refer to the ability of joint system to easily stick and become strong enough receiving 10 tons/m² load. This can be happened due to the geometry of sticky brushes which are becoming the locking system of the joint system. Therefore, G-Feet Sticky house is supposed to be a new concept of post earthquake houses for the victims. Material selection and 3D computer modelling were used for the final design of G-Feet Sticky Houses to be safely and easily to install. The design is supposed to be useful and helpful especially for the victims as temporary houses which can be modified as the permanent one. The big wall panels are designed for faster construction processwhile the joint system combines the ability of sticky brushes and the geometry of wall panel edge detail.
