The current studies demonstrate how tourism activities have incorporated the role of festival and heritage to address socio-cultural, economic, political, and environmental issues. In the context of Indonesia, the cultural festival has been used to be one medium of Islamic preaching, since the era of Walisongo in the sixteenth century. Several local level festival appears to attract a large number of visitors which later influences the sustainability of the place, including Ya Qowiyyu Festival in Jatinom, Klaten, Central Java. Preserving the tradition for hundreds of years, the local community in Jatinom maintains this cultural practice until the present day. This research aims to explore the dynamics between the festivals of Islamic culture in Indonesia in achieving the local community wellbeing in the context of sustainable development. It utilizes qualitative inquiry that sees there are multiple, socially constructed realities. The technique used was observation and in-depth interviews with open-ended questions. The study demonstrates the success of Ya Qowiyyu Festival in addressing social, economic, and environmental issues in the area. For example, it generates community contentment and provides a financial contribution to stakeholders and local communities that enhance their wellbeing.

This paper presents creative geometry research focusing on computational design exploration to improve the eco-performance of concrete blocks used as a building material. To provide a positive eco-performance, an optimized concrete block was designed to be more efficient than a conventional concrete block with respect to the materials used and the space occupied during storage and transport. The results prove that the form is cost-effective and that the environmental impact caused by associated production and distribution processes would be comparatively reduced. Computational research based on parametric design thinking enabled the relationship between form properties as selected design parameters to be evaluated, with the aim of ensuring that efficiency does not compromise technical requirements and that the overall functional role of the concrete block is appropriate when used as a constituent material in nonstructural wall construction. Volumetric-based measurements were employed using Rhinoceros modeling software with a Grasshopper plug-in to assess the eco-performance of the concrete block based on selected indicators. The results show that the folded S-shape concrete block with a width of 40 mm consumes only 43% of the main material and 14% of the auxiliary material relative to a conventional concrete block with a width of 100 mm. When arranged horizontally, a standard container can hold 60% more of the optimized concrete block units compared to conventional ones. Additional findings were also made that suggest future research potential, including use of the concrete blocks as building elements in passive design strategies.

This paper deals with a comparatively study of the engineering properties of the Oil-palm-boiler clinker (OPBC) OPBC and lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) concretes. A grade 70 normal-weight concrete was designed as control mix. Normal weight coarse aggregate was substituted with OPBC and LECA up to 100% by volume, respectively. Their properties — workability, density, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, and water absorption — were studied. Results showed that at the same mix proportion, all mixes exhibited acceptable workability, except for concrete containing LECA up to 75% onwards, which required the reduction of superplastisizer dozen to 16%. Mixes with 75% onwards LECA content exhibited acceptable workability. The oven dry density of concrete containing 100% OPBC and 50% LECA onwards, respectively, in this study can be considered as lightweight concrete. The use of saturated OPBC and LECA in concrete improves the mechanical properties of concrete under air drying condition. The ceiling strength of LECA concrete is at the early age of 7 days, whereas it happens to normal weight concrete and OPBC concrete at a later age. The water absorption of all mixes is below 3%, which can be considered as good concrete.

The ultimate goal of this research is to develop a solar chimney cooling model in dense residential for the purpose of energy saving and air pollution reduction as a result of active cooling use. The problem is limited to the significance of position and height affecting the performance of vertical solar chimney (VSC). The method for the research is adopted from simulation based on empirical data of field measurement. The case taken is within the vicinity of Jogoyudan, Yogyakarta Indonesia with warm humid tropical climate. Modelling is done with Pyrosim software. The models tested were 13 models consisting of 1 NSC model, and 12 models with VSC (3 variations of VSC height, and 4 variations of VCS position). External data as input is data that represents 3 zones of a house: in the middle, on the edge of the road and on the edge of the river. From the modelling results, it was observed that the behaviour of heat distribution in indoor space was caused by the variation of position and height dimensional variation of VSC stack. Data were analyzed by making comparison and correlation with statistical tool of SPSS. The research conclusions are: (1) The position of VSC is proven to be differentiate significantly on heat behaviour in indoor space; (2) The height of VSC has not been proven to significantly differentiate the behaviour of heat in the indoor space.

Model simplification is an important step in room modelling for acoustics simulation. Various simplification algorithms were previously suggested. However, they are highly demanding methods, which are more suitable for large complicated spaces. As this paper focused on small size open-plan office (OPO) spaces, basic modelling and manual simplification processes were used. The aim is to find the optimum level of model simplification through a manual reduction in number of surfaces. Parallel to this aim, the objective is to examine the effects of the change in model detail level on selected acoustical parameters in six OPOs. Construction of models started with the most detailed model. Simplified models were developed by gradually reducing the number of surfaces. Simulation on RT, STI and decay in SPL were done and compared to the measured data. The study found that models with up to 80% reduction in number of surfaces can still produce plausible simulation results.

This study aims to discover the factors that contribute to the continued success of street trading activities in Chinatown Kuala Lumpur and investigate how these informal economies remains relevant in a modern city. The street trading activities have sustained the place as a living cultural enclave through the robustness of street activities, high pedestrian traffic and the attractive street life experience. The objectives of this study is to find the success factors of the site as a guideline for streets to remain active public spaces and for similar cultural enclaves to be allowed to thrive as living heritage of a city. The mixed method approach through site observation and census-like survey captured an all-inclusive reading of the tangible and intangible aspects of the site. Based on the findings of this research, six emerging characteristics of the street trading activities were identified: high concentration of business activities, variety of choices, availability of food, lively outdoor atmosphere, promotes street walkability and extended business hours. This paper serves to offer a new perspective on sustainable urban planning approaches especially in parts of old city quarters as wells as cultural or ethnic enclaves where the organic place making, some haphazardness and a sustainable living community are recognised and celebrated as exciting characters in the urban fabric of the city.

Insulating interior side of external wall and finishing by cement plaster is one of the most appropriate methods of reducing annual energy consumption in available buildings. The aim of this study is to determine the optimum expanded polystyrene (EPS) and cement plaster thickness for bungalow building in Malaysia. The present study evaluates the effect of different thermal insulation and interior cement plaster thicknesses on the annual cooling energy consumption. Furthermore, the optimum thickness of EPS and plaster is estimated based on wall type and building orientation. Two different types of walls made of concrete and brick are considered. EPS and plaster were used in the range of 20 to 100 mm and 0 to 20mm, respectively. The results show that both thermal insulation and plaster thickness have a direct effect on annual cooling energy consumption, however, the influence of wall thermal insulation thickness is more significant than cement plaster thickness. Further, the optimum EPS thickness decreases with the increment in cement plaster thickness for different orientations and wall types. The optimum EPS thickness ranges from 31.5 mm to 53.1 mm based on wall type, orientation and cement plaster thickness. Utilizing optimum EPS and cement plaster thicknesses can thus reduce annual energy consumption by about 6 to 12% in different directions.

Outdoor open spaces are essential to the physical development of the University of the Philippines (UP) towards its pursuit of academic excellence, especially since the balance between “green” open spaces and built environment is a vital part in designing an urban campus. Specifically, thermal comfort and climate change are important factors to consider in providing a comfortable learning environment. This study aims to determine the perception of outdoor thermal comfort and actual uses by UP Diliman students of selected outdoor open spaces vis-àvis the intended functions. Upon analysis of the behavior and preferences of UP students regarding the use of outdoor open spaces, several factors related to outdoor thermal comfort, accessibility, convenience, and landscape design have been derived, such as protection from direct sunlight, natural ventilation, lighting, benches for seating, and convenience through accessibility – all of which had been considered by the students in selecting and utilizing the selected outdoor open spaces. Moreover, these outdoor spaces exhibit flexibility in terms of their uses and functions for the students and the public.
