Rasulullah Muhammad SAW dan para sahabat memberi contoh hakikat fungsi masjid bukan hanya dijadikan sebagai tempat ibadah salat saja, namun juga digunakan sebagai tempat berbagai kegiatan yang mencerminkan ketaatan dan kepatuhan kepada Allah SWT. Pada masa itu, masjid berfungsi sebagai pusat kegiatan umat Islam, seperti: pendidikan, dakwah, politik, ekonomi, moral dan sosial, tempat berkumpul dan berdiskusi. Beragam kegiatan dilakukan di dalam masjid sehingga memiliki kemanfaatan ruang yang baik dan tidak terdapat ruang yang mubazir. Pada masa kini, fenomena desain ruang salat utama pada masjid cenderung bergeser menjadi lebih eksklusif dan berfungsi tunggal. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengukur tingkat kemanfaatan ruang pada Masjid Al-Hikmah Cunda, Lhokseumawe, guna mengetahui tingkat dan pola penggunaan ruang salat utama pada waktu salat dan kegiatan diluar waktu salat terkait dengan isu ke...

The designs of riverfront are always changing due to the level of urbanization and technological advances. As a result, the physical environment of riverfront directly affects the identity of place. Relationship of functional and emotional elements (affectively) between people and place creates a meaning; this process is known as place attachment. Because of inappropriate physical changes, the meaning of place will decline and place attachment gradually reduced. In urban design, some general discussion focused on the importance of physical elements and activities to develop identity and atmosphere of place, however, study on place attachment in the public open space is usually received with less attention. Considering this issue, the study focuses to examine the place attachment and its influencing factors in the context of riverfront promenade, a public space that is common found in Malaysia. By using a mixed method approach (qualitative and quantitative), this research covers two main areas namely urban design and environmental psychology. A framework is constructed for understanding the factors that influence the level of user’s attachment to the place. Survey and interview were conducted in two selected places, i.e.: Sarawak Riverfront Promenade (P-TSS) in Kuching and Malacca Riverfront Promenade (P-TSM) in Malacca. A total of 330 respondents were involved in the questionnaire and 36 people participated in the interview. Observations have been carried out to obtain the physical and visual characters parallel with the urban character assessment in order to discover the level of place support users’ activities. Data processing and analysis were conducted by triangulation method and results of the data gathering as a research findings were processed based on the objective of the study. The findings indicated that the place attachment affects consumers' perceptions of the riverfront promenade. Beside its physical quality, the place is also known through the attachment and through the meaning of the users. Results from the study indicated that several factors influence the form and level of user’s attachment, which focused on the: familiarity to the place, a length of engagement, place dependency, background of the users and users’ role. This study contributes to the human relationship with the place and has important implications for urban designers, architects and landscape architects in creating a good place. A good place may enhance the socio-economic as well as image creation that becomes the pride of the locals.

Kesempatan kerja di sektor formal di kota yang terbatas menjadikan PKL sebagai alternatif bagi masyarakat untuk memperoleh pendapatan. Aktivitas PKL dikategorikan sebagai informal, tumbuh secara spontan, mudah cara pengoperasian dan kadang kala tidak ada prosedur standar yang mengaturnya. Ada kalangan yang mendukung bahwa keberadaan PKL di ruang perkotaan karena dapat memberikan dampak positif bagi keberlangsungan kehidupan perkotaan (livability). Namun ada juga yang mempermasalahkan keberadaannya dengan alasan ruang kota menjadi tidak teratur. Di Kota Banda Aceh, PKL tumbuh menyebar dan mendominasi ruang publik di sepanjang koridor jalan. Kajian ini bertujuan mengungkapkan faktor penyebab, cara pemanfaatan koridor jalan yang didominasi oleh pedagang kaki lima serta dampak positifnya terhadap livability dan keberlanjutan kota.

Tengku Amir Hamzah Square (TAHS) in Stabat is a famous local public space. Its strategic location triggers the growth of street vendors who provide attractions for visitors. Initially, TAHS was designed not to provide a space for street vendors, and the local regulation said that the presence of street vendors was prohibited. The existence of street vendors in TAHS who occupy this public space has emerged with pros and cons. This phenomenon became the reason for this study to be conducted, specifically to uncover the pattern of temporary space and space-forming elements created by street vendors and their relationship with the public's interest in visiting TAHS. The mixed-method research approach is used in this study to disclose and analyze data descriptively. Mapping and observation were carried out to obtain quantitative data, including layout, the n...

Urbanization phenomenon and technological advances then cause these riverfront areas developed and changed gradually. Progressively, inappropriate physical changes at the riverfront environment can reduce the usage and meaning of place together with the level of place attachment. The role of physical appearances related to the activities become famous issues in urban design discourses as an effort to establish the identity to the place; nevertheless, the research to measure the attachment level in public space is rarely done. This research is to identify the place attachment and its contributed components focus on pedestrian space in the riverfront area, public spaces which are favoured in Malaysia. Mixed-method approaches are implemented in this study by developing a framework to indicate the elements that affect the place attachment by the user.

Public space such as streets, squares and parks create a form in tandem with the ebbs and flows of human exchange. Public life within public space can be extended into two interrelated activities, i.e. ‘formal’ and ‘informal’. The most significant in urban design is informal public life, which occurs beyond the realm of formal institutions and entails choice. Informal activities basically occur spontaneously through collective agreement that result in fetive atmosphere of the place. This paper attempts to explore the informal public life and activities in the city which contributed to sustaining the urban life in the cities. Three cities in IMT-GT region has been observed along these years, i.e. Medan – Indonesia, Kangar-Malaysia, and Hat Yai-Thailand. The research applied various techniques in gathering the data and presenti...

The intangibles of space are difficult to conceive without a social dimension to provide its context and the relationship is best conceived as a continuous two-way process in which people and societies create and modify space, influenced by users in a multiplicity of ways through time. Social relations are constituted, constrained, and mediated by space, whilst the shape of the built environment is influenced by the pattern of human activities and social life. Public space such as streets, squares and parks create a form in tandem with the ebbs and flows of human exchange. Throughout history communities have developed public space according to their needs, be it a market, a place for sacred celebrations or sites for local rituals. This paper focuses on Gasibu Square, a favorite public place in Bandung that supports the needs of urban-dwellers. The uniqueness of Gasibu Square is spatio temporal fluidity where the usage of space changes throughout the week. Informal activities are occurring spontaneously through collective agreement that result in a festive atmosphere of the place. On Sunday mornings for example, the place turns into an informal market place. The paper also delves into the unique social movements and interactions of the Sunday market in Gasibu Square, Bandung. The research applied various techniques in gathering the datas and presenting findings in line with the various socio-spatial dimensions. Keywords: public space, spontaneous space, informal market, social relationship, Gasibu Square.

Temuan mengindikasikan bahwa responden memiliki ikatan yang kuat dengan lingkungan lokal dan mendorong kepada terciptanya identitas tempat.
