Bandar Aceh Darussalam as tamaddun city in the tip of Sumatera Island and capital city of 17th century Islamic Aceh Sultanate, was a strategic coastal city. It had sloping beach and bays and was surrounded by mountains with rivers flowing through the city. Its wetlands-based urban development was reflected in the design of urban space structure and key elements of the city. It becomes inspiration for developing modern ecological city since 17th century Islamic cities in archipelago of the East is rarely studied. This research aimed to study the spatial concept of Bandar Aceh Darussalam. Data was collected by using the method of tracking physical information through ancient maps and field observation of the environment characteristic. It was found that the ecological character of the city seemed to be affected by the existence of integrated natural features, function and the role of the city that included Islamic concepts. The main elements of the city reflected the character of civilization in three aspects: the drainage system i.e. cut and fill, the scattered and wide empty space, and natural defense system. The concept of harmony between urban development and city's ecological character was shown in the design of urban landscape.

Kajian dilakukan pada beberapa objek penting mulai dari abad XVII di bagian pesisir yang memberi citra kota Banda Aceh sebagai kota kosmopolitan dan Kota maritim. Pendekatan kajian dengan mengungkapkan aspek arsitektural objek dan usulan pola penataan zona di setiap objek. Hasil pembahasan tampak bahwa menghadirkan cerita sejarah melalui replika objek dan kuburan yang dilengkapi tempat untuk berkontempelasi sebagai fasilitas pendukung. Kesimpulan tulisan memberikan kerangka teoritik tentang pengembangan objek wisata dampak tsunami di kota Banda Aceh. Tulisan ini dirasa penting sebagai salah satu cara penguat jadi diri bangsa Indonesia tentang pengungkapan kejayaan dan identitas masa lalu, berguna bagi membangun karakter bangsa.

Sejarah kota Banda Aceh berkembang dari kumpulan perkampungan tradisional yang unik secara ekologi, salah satunya Gampong Lamseupeung sebagai kampung tepi sungai. Ketika bencana tsunami 2004 merusak kota, kampung tersebut tidak terkena, tapi mengalami dampak ketika kota Banda Aceh dirancang kembali dengan pendekatan kebencanaan, yang mengembangkan infrastruktur jalan evakuasi melintasi beberapa perkampungan tradisional. Hal ini menyebabkan perubahan fisikal kampung tradisional, dan karakter masyarakat setempat. Tulisan ini mengkaji perubahan ekologi perkampungan tradisional tepi sungai sebagai akibat morfologi kota Banda Aceh. Kajian ini dianggap penting karena sejalan dengan Agenda pembangunan dunia tahun 2015 hingga 2030, melihat bagaimana pembangunan perkotaan yang inklusif, aman, berketahanan dan berkelanjutan, dan memperhatikan karakter masyarakat lokal. Pendekatan penelitian secara fenomenologi melihat rekam jejak perubahan fisik kampung dengan metoda kualitatif diskriptif, terkait dua hal, yaitu: i) aspek struktur lingkungan perkampungannya dan sumber daya kampung; ii) aspek dinamika kehidupan sosial budaya dan ekonomi masyarakat. Hasil penelitian tampak perubahan pola, orientasi dan pergeseran kepadatan kampung ke arah jalan arteri dan perubahan masyarakat berkarakter urban. Hal ini memperlemah ikatan budaya pada lahan dan ikatan sosial budaya masyarakat. Kesimpulan penelitian menunjukkan, keberadaan perkampungan tradisional perlu dipertimbangkan dalam pembangunan kota modern untuk kota kecil-sedang. Pada dasarnya mereka yang membentuk karakter khusus suatu kota.
Rumoh Aceh is one of the traditional architectural house in Indonesia that has become a cultural heritage as well as the identity of Aceh region. Rumoh Aceh as a building has the value of sustainability and environmentally friendly, and also loaded with the values of local wisdom that exist in the lives of Acehnese people. Rumoh Aceh in its development has undergone various adjustment processes to the environment so that it can survive until now. But along with the development of modern era that demands efficiency and the fact of increasingly difficult to find good quality wood materials for the manufacture and maintenance of traditional architecture of Rumoh Aceh, then gradually fewer people build and maintain Rumoh Aceh. Although constrained in the difficulty of procurement of good quality wood materials and maintenance, the existence of Rumoh Aceh must be maintained. Therefore, this research needs to be done as an effort to understand the constraints of the availability of good quality wood materials for the manufacture and maintenance of traditional architecture of Rumoh Aceh and find alternative solutions that are environmentally friendly to support the preservation efforts of Rumoh Aceh. This qualitative descriptive research uses variety of primary and secondary data of traditional architecture of Rumoh Aceh. The results of this study revealed the use of green structures and technologies as well as environmentally friendly engineering wood materials can be one of the alternative solutions in preserving the traditional architecture of Rumoh Aceh.
The construction of relocation housing is a form of housing assistance for victims of the 2004 tsunami, with various environmental designs. Indo-Tiongkok housing (Jacky Chan housing) is one of the relocation housing in the Neuheun area, designed with an approach adjusting the hilly topography. The disadvantage of building on contoured land is that it is susceptible to local erosion, which can damage buildings on the land (roads and buildings). This study reveals the phenomenon of environmental adaptation strategies by the community to reduce the risk of hazards in their home environment, and this is important to disclose to find out people’s attitudes and actions in maintaining the sustainability of their living space. The research method was in-depth interviews with the community to understand the understanding of environmental hazards and community strategies in reducing the risk of dangers that might occur. The information required relates to 2 things: 1) types of environmental hazards, risks, and patterns of threats; 2) attitudes and strategies of society to overcome these dangers. The results showed that the community understands the risk of hazards logically, by looking at signs of natural elements such as traces of erosion, and the impact on artificial elements (houses, soil, yard boundaries). The community strategy to reduce the risk of hazards is to combine various factors from engineering aspects (building materials and techniques), economic aspects, and suitability aspects of plant selection. Results showed that the strategy for adaptation patterns to the environment would appear in each occupant according to their problems and abilities so that the results of the appearance of the residential environment design would vary. This is so unique in the culture of living in each place, which will distinguish it from other places.
