Bioclimatic architecture is an adaptive design to the equatorial tropical climate through passive cooling strategies. This paper aims to evaluate the bioclimatic wisdom of the Minangkabau houses to ...formulate passive design knowledge with visual observation techniques and measurement of the air temperature and relative humidity. The visual observation method is used to find the level of application of bioclimatic design. The measurement techniques are used to evaluate the thermal environmental comfort in the case study of the Gadang Jopang Manganti House, Munka, Limapuluh Kota, West Sumatra. The result of bioclimatic wisdom elements in the appropriate Gadang Jopang Manganti house is the orientation of the building mass and openings, placement and form of single dwelling space without partition and big roof space. The living room has a comfortable thermal environment performance indicated by the average comfort air temperature, decreasing air temperature, and a longer comfortable period. The development of a bioclimatic design for the Gadang Jopang Manganti House could be taken by improving naatural cooling or optimizing natural ventilation to remove building’s humidity.
There are many city parks currently used as public spaces and children's play facilities in Indonesia that do not meet the criteria for child-friendly open spaces. It is, however, important to note ...that biophilic elements are the natural environment components determining the quality of city parks. Therefore, this research was conducted to evaluate the criteria, perceptions, and development of biophilic elements in a child-friendly open space using Merjosari park in Malang which is one of those developed to achieve a child-friendly city as the case study. The biophilic elements criteria were determined using the Analysis Hierarchy Process (AHP) method while the perception of elements used the Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) method. First, the results showed the main criterion for the biophilic element according to experts is well-being while the highest sub-criterion is a safe space. Second, the seating element was found to be the visitors’ perception of quality based on the highest level of suitability while the garden element has the highest service performance and safe space had the highest level of importance. Third, playing equipment was recommended to be prioritized in the development of biophilic elements quality based on its high value in the IPA analysis. Finally, safe space was discovered to be the most important biophilic element of child-friendly open space at Merjosari Park, Malang City according to expert criteria and visitors’ perception.
Bioclimatic architecture is composed of climate-responsive knowledge in vernacular buildings as an effort to create comfortable conditions. This study aims to evaluate the suitability of the ...application of bioclimatic design to the performance of the thermal environment in one type of Bugis house. The method used is visual assessment and measurement of temperature and humidity in the case studies of Jida and Lammada houses, South Sulawesi. The results of visual observations show the accuracy of the bioclimatic design on the volume and slope elements of the roof; wall type and material; floor height and shade tree layout. The performance of the thermal environment in the living room and bedroom of Lammada house is better than similar rooms at Jida house. The bioclimatic elements that affect the performance of the thermal environment are the volume of the roof, the type and material of the walls and the height of the floor.

Abstract
Bioclimatic architecture is a method of adapting to the climate and utilizing natural elements of the local environment. In hot and humid tropical climates, this can be seen through natural ...shading and cooling strategies or known as eco-energy, especially in vernacular buildings. This paper aims to identify the bioclimatic architecture of the Madurese Vernacular House to develop passive design knowledge through visual observation techniques and measurement of the thermal environment as a form of eco-energy dwellings. The visual observation method was used to find the level of suitability of the bioclimatic design. The technique of measuring temperature and humidity outside and inside the building was used to evaluate the comfort of the thermal environment of eco-energy dwellings in the case study of the Bangsal Budaggan House, Pamekasan, Madura. The appropriate bioclimatic design elements in the Budaggan Ward House are the orientation of the building mass and openings, placement and form of open-plan dwelling; number, size, and type of windows; ample roof space. The evaluation of the eco-energy strategy (passive design) shows good cooling performance characterized by a comfortable average air temperature (28.1°C in the dwelling area), a decreased air temperature (0.7°C in the dwelling area), and a longer comfortable period (11 hours). Further development for eco-energy dwellings design in Bangsal Budaggan House can be done by improving the shading elements, materials, transition spaces, colors, and floor elevations.
Kasepuhan Sinar Resmi are part of the Banten Kidul Indigenous Community with a cultural base of rice in their lives. The settlements are formed from natural, geographic, socio-economic-cultural ...activities that have spatial characteristics. The spatial peculiarities of the settlement are interesting things to be studied and reveal their physical and philosophical manifestations. With a qualitative descriptive analysis approach, this study aims to identify and describe the characteristics of the Kasepuhan Sinar Resmi housing based on non-physical and physical aspects. The variables studied were: 1) socio-cultural and economic, 2) public activity, 3) natural and geographic conditions, 4) spatial-forming elements of settlements, 5) physical spatial layout, and 6) building typology. The results showed that the character of the settlement was formed based on non-physical aspects in the form of consistency in carrying out the tatali paranti karuhun, as well as respect and obedience to the leaders as regulator of life in kasepuhan. This is the main factor that greatly influences the spatial layout of the Kasepuhan Sinar Resmi’s settlement physically apart from the natural and geographical conditions of the area. The implementation of respect for karuhun is the continuity of the rice culture that has been preserved until now, which is sustainable in all farming activities, and the socio-culture of the kasepuhan community.
