Valuasi ekonomi pohon tua sebagai pembentuk karakter lanskap perkotaan Malang: Pendekatan metode Danish (VAT03)
Old urban trees are vital environmental and identity assets currently threatened by urbanization and infrastructure development. The lack of protection policies based on economic valuation poses a significant challenge to the conservation of these historic trees. This study aims to estimate the economic value of three types of old trees (Samanea saman, Ficus benjamina, and Canarium indicum) in Malang City using the Danish Valuation Method (VAT03). The assessment is based on four parameters: Basic Value (B), Health Factor (H), Location Factor (L), and Age Factor (A). Data were collected through field observations at Tugu Square, Merdeka Square, and Panglima Sudirman Street, complemented by literature data from the Bouwplan I area. The results indicate that the Kenari tree (C. indicum) possesses the highest average economic value at IDR 577,355,787.31. This high valuation is driven by its basic value, long life expectancy, and architectural historical significance. This study emphasizes the need to integrate economic tree valuation into urban spatial planning policies to strengthen the conservation of old urban trees.

Qualitative assessment of riparian vegetation and management options for flood mitigation in The Satui River, South Kalimantan
The Satui River in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, faces significant riparian landscape degradation due to settlements, erosion, and land-use changes, which have intensified flood and landslide risks. This study provides an exploratory assessment of the current ecological functions of the riparian landscape of the river and identifies potential strategies for flood risk mitigation. An exploratory, descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving field surveys to evaluate the existing vegetation and a literature review of local management plans. Due to the current lack of detailed quantitative data, management strategies and vegetation effectiveness were evaluated using a qualitative rating scale of high (H), medium (M), and low (L) based on technical effectiveness, sustainability, and community adaptation criteria. Field observations revealed that the existing vegetation is dominated by fruit trees and shallow-rooted plants, such as Mangifera indica and Musa paradisiaca, which offer limited riverbank stabilization and habitat support. Qualitative analysis suggests that integrated strategies—combining watershed-scale conservation, riparian corridor restoration, and selective structural measures— should be prioritized for sustainable risk reduction over isolated hard-engineering solutions. Specific recommendations include implementing nature-based solutions, such as vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides) for edge reinforcement, reforestation of the upper watershed, and adaptive management involving local communities. While these strategies show high potential in a qualitative framework, the study notes that empirical data on the effectiveness of nature-based solutions in humid tropical regions remain limited, highlighting the need for further quantitative research and pilot projects to validate these findings.

Optimalisasi outdoor learning area berbasis eco learning space di SMA Kornita Bogor
This study aims to formulate a strategy for optimizing the outdoor learning area at SMA Kornita Bogor based on the Eco Learning Space concept in order to create a comfortable, functional, and environmentally friendly learning environment. This study employs qualitative methods through observation, interviews, and a literature review. The results indicate that the current outdoor learning areas lack sufficient shade-providing vegetation, adequate learning facilities, and spatial connectivity, thereby limiting their effectiveness as learning environments. The proposed design integrates the four main principles of the Eco Learning Space: energy and resource efficiency, eco-friendly materials and design, integration with nature, and sustainability education. Optimization is achieved through the addition of shade-providing vegetation, modular seating, integrated circulation, and educational features such as composters and environmental murals. The 3D visualization showcases an adaptive and sustainable outdoor learning area designed to enhance student comfort, support active learning, and strengthen ecological awareness. Ultimately, this outdoor learning area serves as a living laboratory that reflects SMA Kornita’s commitment to sustainable education and experiential learning.

Estimasi potensi biomassa permukaan, stok karbon, dan produksi oksigen berdasarkan keragaman jenis pohon di ruang terbuka hijau (RTH) Kabupaten Jombang
Jombang Regency is one of the strategic areas in East Java that still contributes to carbon emissions, making green open spaces (GOS) with tree vegetation essential for mitigating climate change. This study aimed to identify tree species diversity and estimate aboveground biomass, carbon stock, carbon dioxide absorption, and oxygen production in four GOS areas in the form of city parks in Jombang Regency, as well as to analyze the influence of tree characteristics such as height, trunk diameter, number of individuals, and wood density on their environmental contributions. The research was conducted in Mojoagung Park, Kebonratu Park, Kebonrojo Park, and Alun-alun Jombang using a direct survey method and non-destructive allometric estimation. The data collected included tree species identification, height and diameter measurements, and biomass and carbon calculations based on the condition of the tree. Results showed a total of 1.005 trees from 56 species, with a moderate diversity range 1,81 to 2,72 and a high evenness index range 0,71 to 0,83. Kebonratu Park had the highest contributions to carbon absorption and oxygen production, followed by Kebonrojo Park, Alun-alun Jombang, and Mojoagung Park. The vegetation structure and composition of each GOS influenced the variations in contributions. The study concluded that tree characteristics significantly affect carbon absorption and oxygen production potential, making them a vital basis for ecological and sustainable GOS management recommendations.

Desain ruang memorial di kawasan bencana likuefaksi Balaroa
After the 7.4-magnitude earthquake, tsunami, and liquefaction disaster in September 2018, the Balaroa sub-district of Palu City was severely affected by liquefaction, which covered approximately 50 hectares with a perimeter of about 2.5 kilometres. This area was predominantly residential. Historically, residents of West Gunung Marawola avoided passing through this area when travelling to the Manonda Inpres Market, as the wheels of their carts would often become stuck. Consequently, the site was named Tagari Lonjo (a waterlogged and muddy area). This served as a form of natural mitigation, indicating that the site was unsuitable for habitation. This paper aims to establish a correlation between the initial conditions and the management of potential risks following the disaster. The research employs qualitative methods and utilises the Sendai Framework (as a conceptual foundation) and SWOT analysis (as a strategy formulation tool). The proposed design concept involves planning and utilisation of the former Balaroa liquefaction site, focusing not only on physical and ecological recovery but also on socio-economic revitalisation and strengthening resilience to future disasters. Based on the analysis, the geotechnical conditions of the former liquefaction site in Balaroa Village are recommended to be utilised as Ruang Natebuka Kodara (green open space) within land-use planning, with agrotourism potential that can foster economic self-reliance and help alleviate communal trauma. It is hoped that this paper will contribute particularly to education on mitigation and resilience, supporting regional sustainability through innovative post-disaster recovery strategies.

Perencanaan lanskap Pantai Sidayu sebagai waterfront park Kabupaten Klungkung, Bali
Klungkung Regency is one of the districts in Bali which has many beaches that have the potential to be used as recreational areas. One beach is called Sidayu located in the southern part of Klungkung Regency. According to regional regulations, this beach is an area that can be potentially developed into a recreational area as it offers a beautiful vast rice field and ocean view. However, from observations, this beach has not yet plan well. There was no inadequate space arrangement and facilities to support recreational activities. This research aims to develop this beach into a recreational area by applying the waterfront park concept according to waterfront principles. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and literature study. The research stages consist of inventory, analysis, synthesis, and concepts with the aspects studied being biophysical and socio-cultural aspects. There were two zones recommended, namely the active recreation zone without which is an undeveloped zone, and the passive recreation zone for development infrastructure. The circulation plan was divided into primary circulation, secondary circulation, and alternative assistance routes. The vegetation plan provided was carried out by maintaining the original vegetation and adding new vegetation according to its function and character. Part of the facility concept is the concept of supporting facilities and coastal protection infrastructure facilities.

Studi persepsi dan preferensi pengunjung terhadap tingkat kenyamanan pada Taman Literasi Martha Christina Tiahahu, Jakarta Selatan
The revitalization of the Martha Christina Tiahahu Literacy Park (TLMCT) has significantly increased the number of visitors, bringing both positive and negative impacts. Although comprehensive facilities have been provided, this increase in quantity does not necessarily guarantee comfort. Several aspects are still less than optimal in meeting visitor needs, so a detailed analysis is needed to provide strategic recommendations regarding comfort levels. This study aims to identify the physical condition of the TLMCT post-revitalization and analyze visitor perceptions and preferences regarding park comfort. A descriptive mixed-methods approach was used, combining descriptive field observation with Likert-scale analysis for respondent data. The evaluation was based on eight comfort indicators: circulation, temperature, noise, aroma, shape, safety, cleanliness, and aesthetics. The findings indicate alignment between visitor perceptions and preferences; however, three factors—cleanliness, safety, and noise—remain suboptimal within this urban environment. Therefore, this study offers recommendations for facility adjustments and infrastructure additions to improve park management functionality and overall visitor satisfaction.

Etnobotani tanaman di lanskap Pura Luhur Batukaru dan Pura Luhur Uluwatu, Bali
Differences in socio-cultural conditions and landscapes of an area can cause differences in the types of plants cultivated. This ethnobotanical study aims to inventory, map, and document various types of plants and their relationships with humans for cultural conservation purposes. The survey method was used to inventory plant types in Batukaru Temple (mountains) and Uluwatu (hills) as well as the yards of residents in both villages. The results of the study showed that plants cultivated in the Batukaru Temple area and the yards of residents of Wongaya Gede Village have a low level of similarity (Sorensen index 0.2) with plants in the Uluwatu Temple area and the yards of residents of Pecatu Village. However, the use and preferences of the community towards plants are more directed towards aesthetic functions compared to other functions such as rituals, medicine, and consumption. Codiaeum variegatum, Bougainvillea glabra and Plumeria sp. are plants with high frequencies and are found in both areas.
Kajian potensi tanaman aromatik untuk penggunaannya dalam lanskap terapeutik (studi kasus: BSIP TROA)

User adaptation and informal activities in a controlled urban green open space (case study Taman Jurong, Kabupaten Bekasi)
Public spaces are vital for cities, providing places for social, cultural, and economic activities. Green Open Spaces (GOS), like Taman Jurong in Jababeka, Bekasi, are especially important for promoting ecological balance, community interactions, and environmental sustainability. Taman Jurong combines greenery, recreational areas, and mobility functions, serving as a corridor and a community space. However, informal economic activities, such as street vending, and limited infrastructure have created challenges, disrupting its planned functions. Recent policies aim to enforce Taman Jurong’s role as an ecological and ventilation zone, prioritizing safety due to underground gas pipelines. These measures have reduced informal activities, ensuring environmental sustainability and minimizing safety risks. However, they have also decreased the park’s vibrancy and limited its appeal as a community space. Visitors now spend less time in the park, and vendors struggle to adapt, highlighting tensions between planned uses and informal needs. Despite restrictions, Taman Jurong remains valuable for its shady trees and cool environment, which continue to attract visitors. The study underscores the importance of balancing ecological preservation, safety, and community engagement to create inclusive and functional urban spaces. Taman Jurong illustrates how well-managed GOS can enhance urban life while meeting diverse needs.
Elemen pembentuk citra kota dalam kawasan stasiun kereta api di Kota Semarang
Transportation is an important part of urban development so that the existence of transportation service places is also quite vital, one of which is the train station area. The train station area has its own characteristics, character, and identity so that it can shape the image of the area. According to Kevin Lynch (1960), a city image contains elements that form the city's image in the form of paths, edges, district s, nodes, and landmarks. Semarang City has two main stations, namely the Semarang Tawang Station area and the Semarang Poncol Station area. The existence of the two train station areas is important so that it is necessary to understand the elements that form the city's image in order to obtain clarity on its identity and character. The research method used is qualitative research in the form of a case study approach with primary and secondary data. The results of this study are in the form of identification of elements that form the city's image in the Semarang Tawang Station area and the Semarang Poncol Station area, where elements are still found that are less appropriate and can still be improved or developed in order to strengthen the identity and character of the train station area
Perancangan lanskap realitas virtual: transformasi rehabilitasi disabilitas
The technology used in everyday life also advances throughout time. Likewise, as time goes on, there will undoubtedly be a rise in the number of persons with disabilities. People with this impairment have personalities that are distinct from those of typical people. Their primary personality trait is that they tend to withdraw from others since they perceive themselves as unique. Because keeping to oneself will adversely impact your psychological and mental wellbeing. Any form of therapy will be unsuccessful if mental and psychological health are compromised. It is entirely feasible to integrate rehabilitation techniques for people with disabilities with modern technology, such as virtual reality (VR). Virtual reality enables the creation of customized virtual settings and landscapes. With the support of a virtual environment, needs can be met quickly. This research uses a participatory approach with descriptive-qualitative trial method because it tests psychological feelings through VR Landscape Design experience. This research found out that treatment for individuals with impairments can be improved since the virtual environment can be displayed as a game application. Future environmental assets for therapeutic game applications have a great deal of promise thanks to research into the design process of virtual landscapes. Based on the results of trials on patients with disabilities, it was concluded that, the comfort of the therapy process is greatly influenced by the visualization of virtual landscapes. Virtual landscapes must appear different from reality, like a dream world, and have features where patients can play and receive encouragement from pre-existing animations in the digital VR environment
