Development of a Web-Based Inventory Application Using the Prototype Method with PIECES Testing

Sunni Risdayati — 2025-11-30

This research was conducted to address the problem of manual inventory recording at MAN 3 Banjar,
which is inefficient. The proposed solution is the development of a web-based inventory application
using the prototype method, which allows users to be directly involved in the development process.
To evaluate the system’s quality, testing was conducted using the PIECES framework covering
performance, information, economy, control, efficiency, and service. The results show that the
previous manual system had several problems, such as slow recording, risk of data loss, and limited
information access. The developed application provides features for item recording, tracking incoming
and outgoing goods, and report generation. Based on black box testing and PIECES questionnaires,
the application received positive responses from users with satisfaction levels ranging from satisfied
to very satisfied. Therefore, this application is expected to be an effective solution for improving school
inventory management.

Social, Economic, and Environmental Dynamics in the Formation of Slum Settlements along Riverbanks

Nur Ad'ha Yuda — 2025-11-30

The rapid increase in population and urbanization in developing countries has led to the proliferation of slum settlements, particularly in riverfront areas. This study examines the factors influencing the formation of slum settlements on or near rivers, focusing on the socio-economic and environmental impacts and the efforts to address these challenges. Indonesia, with its numerous rivers, provides a critical case study. The traditional practice of living by the rivers for essential needs like water and transport has evolved into densely populated slum areas due to insufficient government regulation and economic constraints. These settlements face significant challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, poor sanitation, high flood risk, and environmental degradation. The study employs a literature review method, analyzing various academic journals, research reports, and government policies to understand the dynamics of riverfront slums. It also includes case studies from Makassar, Palembang, and Banjarmasin in Indonesia, highlighting the socio-economic conditions, physical characteristics, and environmental issues of these slums. The findings emphasize the need for integrated approaches involving infrastructure improvement, strict regulations, community education, and participatory planning to enhance living conditions and sustainability in riverfront slum settlements. Recommendations are provided for evidence-based policies and interventions to effectively tackle the complex issues associated with slum settlements on or near rivers.

Muhammad Ripqi — 2025-11-30

This study analyzes the application of sustainable architectural principles in mosques built by Yayasan Amalbakti Muslim Pancasila (YAMP), an institution that has played a significant role in the development of national mosques with standardized prototypes. Using a descriptive qualitative approach through literature review, observation, and documentation, this research examines how sustainability principles are applied. The analysis shows that although these principles are not explicitly formulated in the design documents, YAMP mosques inherently contain sustainable potential. This is evident in the efficient use of land, thermal comfort, adequate access to water, the use of durable and efficient materials, and the function of the mosque as a center for social, cultural, and economic activities. The distinctive three-tiered roof design also represents the preservation of Nusantara architectural culture. These findings affirm that the YAMP mosque prototype can be regarded as an example of sustainable architecture implementation in Indonesia.

A Study on the Application of Sustainable Architecture Concepts in the Bappeda Office Building of Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency

Khalishah Radhiyani — 2025-11-30

The increasing energy consumption and environmental degradation issues have prompted the need to apply sustainable architectural principles that are responsive to climatic conditions, particularly in humid tropical regions. This study aims to examine the application of Olgyay’s Bioclimatic Design concept in the Office Building of the Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda) of Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency through analyses of thermal comfort, natural lighting, as well as building layout and orientation. The method employed consists of a literature review and visual analysis of the existing building design. The findings indicate that the configuration of opposing openings enables effective cross ventilation as a passive cooling strategy, supported by the use of overhangs, canopies, and pyramid-shaped roofs to reduce solar heat gain. The proportionate design of window openings also maximizes natural lighting, thereby reducing the need for artificial illumination. Furthermore, the building orientation, which minimizes direct sunlight exposure, along with the presence of landscape elements and transitional spaces, enhances the building’s passive performance. Overall, the analysis suggests that the building design adheres to Olgyay’s bioclimatic principles in achieving thermal comfort, energy efficiency, and high indoor environmental quality. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for designing climate-adaptive government buildings in tropical regions.

Evaluation of the Application of Sustainable Architecture Principles and Healing Environment in the Inpatient Building of Ulin Regional Hospital Banjarmasin

Dedy Tirtana — 2025-11-30

The comfort and quality of inpatient rooms strongly influence patient recovery, especially when these spaces are designed using healing environment principles and sustainable architecture in multi-story hospitals in humid tropical climates. The study evaluates the environmental performance of three inpatient rooms at Ulin Regional Hospital in Banjarmasin by analyzing architectural design, measuring Air Changes per Hour (ACH) and illuminance (lux), and comparing the results with national standards such as Ministry of Health regulations, Indonesian National Standards (SNI), and building codes. A descriptive–evaluative mixed-method approach is applied, combining literature review, on-site observations, site and spatial analysis, and technical measurements of ventilation and lighting. The findings show that the Tulip III and Wijaya Kusuma rooms achieve ACH values above the minimum standard for inpatient wards, while measured lighting levels meet or exceed the SNI 6197:2011 requirements for visual comfort. The north–south building orientation, building depth of less than 18 meters, large window openings, and existing vegetation all help improve daylight distribution, air quality, and visual connection to natural elements, although further optimization of green spaces and therapeutic landscape quality is still needed. Overall, the research proposes an evidence-based evaluation model for inpatient rooms that integrates technical performance, healing environment concepts, and regulatory compliance, offering a useful reference for designing sustainable tropical hospitals in Indonesia

A Passive Ventilation Mechanism in Vernacular Architecture: Analysis of Timpa Laja Construction in Bugis Pagatan House

Akhmad Hariadi — 2025-11-30

Vernacular architecture possesses climate adaptation strategies that are frequently overlooked in contemporary design. This study aims to elucidate the passive cooling mechanism of the Timpa Laja (gable roof element) in the Bugis Pagatan house. The research employs a Single Case Study method with a descriptive-analytical approach. The object of study is focused on the stilt house typology featuring a multi-tiered (two-tiered) Timpa Laja construction, representing the social stratum of community leaders. The analysis involves dissecting the timber shingle construction details and simulating airflow logic using the Stack Effect principle. The results indicate that the Timpa Laja is not merely an aesthetic status marker but functions technically as a "Breathing Wall." The overlapping timber plank construction and the presence of horizontal gaps between roof tiers create an effective dual exhaust pathway for hot air. These findings underscore that vernacular design is capable of preventing heat traps, a common issue in modern massive wall construction.

Systematic Literature Review: Sustainable Architecture and Occupant Comfort in Terms of Natural Daylighting in Tamara Alfa Sinergia Subsidized Housing

Muhammad Ridhani — 2025-11-30

Natural daylighting is an essential element in creating healthy and functional housing environments. Poor daylighting quality may result in uneven light distribution between spaces, excessively dark areas, or excessive glare in certain rooms. Subsidized housing developments generally apply uniform building orientations and elongated spatial layouts, which often limit the effective distribution of natural light. As a result, central spaces such as family rooms frequently experience insufficient daylight due to obstruction by surrounding rooms. These conditions indicate the need for an in-depth evaluation of natural daylighting to understand its impact on occupants’ visual comfort. This study aims to synthesize findings from various scientific literature on natural daylighting in tropical residential buildings and to compare these findings with the design conditions of Tamara Alfa Sinergia Subsidized Housing in Banjarbaru. The research employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach combined with field observations to assess natural daylighting performance in subsidized housing, specifically at the Tamara Alfa Sinergia residential complex. The results indicate that the application of natural daylighting in the studied housing meets the basic principles of sustainable architecture, particularly through the use of openings on the front and rear façades, building orientation aligned with the site layout, and compact spatial configurations that allow daylight penetration into main living spaces. However, further improvements are recommended through the optimization of openings, spatial layouts, and passive design strategies to enhance occupants’ visual comfort while supporting long-term energy efficiency.
