The growth of middle class in Indonesia has raised the number of houses being built in cities like Depok, Bogor, Bekasi Tangerang. Big real estates have emerged in these supporting cities along with the mushroomed numbers of small clusters adjacent to them. Stand on 3000-5000 m2 land, these clusters have limited public facilities such as proper sanitation, water catchment, and waste management. The water catchment area have reduced significantly which causes deficit ground water supply during the dry season. Another problem is the households waste left unsorted and directly sent to the garbage collector have made the number of solid waste piling up in the dumping site. This research analyzes three small clusters which locations are adjacent to Bintaro Jaya housing estate. This program focus in three programs: (a. Changing people’s mindset in handling the household waste by choosing the right products (front strategy), sort the waste, and treat the organic waste (rear strategy); (b) Installing minimum 2 biopores on every house and open areas; (c) Making composter to transform household waste into compost. Through FGD and social intervention, this research has encouraged community to change their behavior towards biopore and composter program installed in three small clusters in Bintaro.
Masjid Jami Kali Pasir (MJKP) is believed as the oldest mosque in Tangerang. It is located at Pasar Lama-Kali Pasir heritage site, near old Chinese settlements. In 2011 MJKP was legitimated as an architectural heritage by government of Tangerang City regardless its unnoticeable appearance and its lack of accurate historic and architecture documentary. Nevertheless the board of MJKP’s welfare mosque has tried to conserve its original parts. These facts show that MJKP has significant meaning despite its status, as an architectural heritage, is questionable. Based on this background, this writing is an attempt to know what value that MJKP contains apart from its valid historical data by experiencing its architecture and spatial conditions around it from a pedestrian’s viewpoint. Pictures of walking sequence to MJKP and interview with visitors and local people about their perception on Pasar Lama-Kali Pasir heritage site and the mosque were used to study the value. After analyzing the data with Kevin Lynch’s theory about ‘sense’ dimension, the study revealed that MJKP’s spiritual value could maintain its existence even though its physical appearance was not significant. In conclusion, the spiritual value might be essential in architectural conservation to know why an architectural heritage that has lack of historic documentary and unnoticeable appearance, such as MJKP, needs to be preserved.
Since 2011, Masjid Jami Kali Pasir (Kali Pasir Mosque) has been legitimated as an architectural heritage by the government of Tangerang city, West Java, Indonesia. It is located at the heritage site of Pasar Lama-Kali Pasir where Chinese settlements are also present. There are a few opinions that consider the mosque has Chinese architectural style, which was used to 'mingle' with Chinese settlements near it. However, lack of accurate historical documentation of Masjid Jami Kali Pasir makes those assumptions questionable. Moreover, despite its style and history, Masjid Jami Kali Pasir is hard to be recognized because it is hidden in between houses. On this basis, this article is an attempt to know how Masjid Jami Kali Pasir impacts on the characteristic of Pasar Lama-Kali Pasir heritage site from an architectural and urban design point of view. By exploring the mosque's architecture and spatial conditions around it, we acknowledge how significant its presence is to be preserved although it lacks a valid historical data. We analyse the urban structure of Pasar Lama-Kali Pasir area to know its characteristic. We also observe Masjid Jami Kali Pasir's latest condition to search if there is any common physical appearance between the mosque and its surroundings. Then we figure how the 'myth' about the mosque occurred. From the observations and analysis, we assume that the 'myth' about the mosque plays an important role in making Masjid Jami Kali Pasir significant as a heritage site.
Sacred places are often characterized by architectural elements and arrangement of certain landscapes to form a different impression from the surroundings. Architecture is able to form space symbolically sacred through the arrangement that directs the congregation in worship. The natural elements in the landscape have an important function in forming the beauty that reminds human relations with the universe. Writing shows an understanding of the relationship between elements of nature (land, water, air, and light) with elements of architectural design in a place of worship. The case is Masjid Bahrul Ulum (MBU) in South Tangerang. MBU has a beautiful landscape, which supports the atmosphere from outside to inside the building. The researcher analyzed the role of natural elements in worship activities which were felt starting from the entrance of the mosque, the courtyard, the terrace, the place of ablution to the main worship hall. The search results show, the role of significant natural elements in the worship space sequence becomes a symbol as well as forming an atmosphere.Abstrak: Tempat sakral sering ditandai dengan elemen arsitektur dan penataan lanskap tertentu hingga membentuk kesan yang berbeda dengan sekitarnya.

Elemen-elemen alam pada lanskap memiliki fungsi penting dalam membentuk keasrian yang mengingatkan hubungan manusia dengan semesta. Tulisan ini merupakan upaya memahami keterkaitan antara elemen alam-tanah, air, udara, dan cahaya-dengan elemen perancangan arsitektur pada tempat ibadah yang mengarahkan umat dalam beribadah. Kasus peneliti adalah Masjid Bahrul Ulum (MBU) di Tangerang Selatan. MBU memiliki lanskap yang asri, sehingga mendukung suasana tentram hingga ke dalam bangunan.
