Perkembangan kota yang sangat cepat dapat dipengaruhi oleh kegiatan masyarakat didalamnya Kegiatan yang dilakukan bisa di dalam ruangan maupun di luar ruangan. Taman kota merupakan salah satu elemen pembentuk kota yang dapat mendukung kegiatan masyarakat di luar ruangan. Setiap taman kota memiliki karakteristik yang mempengaruhi respon kegiatan yang dilakukan didalamnya. Untuk mengetahui kegiatanyang biasa dilakukan oleh masyarakat di taman kota beserta alasan pemilihan karakteristik taman yang diminati, maka dilakukan penelitian dengan metode kualitatif eksploratif (open ended) atau pencarian kata kunci berdasarkan persepsi masyarakat sebagai acuan untuk merumuskan teori dasar. Ditemukan kecenderungan bahwa taman dengan karakteristik alam lebih diminati oleh masyarakat yang melakukan kegiatan rekreasi. Taman dengan karakteristik desain yang menarik lebih diminati oleh masyarakat yang melakukan kegiatan interaksi sosial. Faktor-faktor ini mempengaruhi motivasi seseorang pergi ke sebuah Taman Kota.Kata-kunci : karakteristik, kegiatan, taman kota.
City parks have certain environmental characteristics and accommodate various types of activities that affect the sense of place of the user. This study was conducted with the aim of identifying the dimensions of user activities and environmental characteristics, and sense of place levels related to city parks, as well as the causal relationships between them. Qualitative research was done using an online survey with open-ended questions. The collected text data were analyzed using content analysis. Quantitative research was done using an online survey with closed-ended questions that were compiled based on the results of the qualitative research analysis. The collected numerical data were analyzed by factor analysis and multivariate regression analysis. The analysis revealed four user activity dimensions (recreation, social interaction, work, and sports and hobby), seven environmental characteristics dimensions (natural environment, design, facilities, comfort, location, proximity, and entertainment), and two sense of place dimensions (compatibility with a place and dedication to a place). The dimension compatibility with a place tended to be influenced by the accessibility and visual quality of a park (location, natural environment, and park design), while the dimension dedication to a place tended to be influenced by user engagement (sport and hobby, and facilities).
Because of their structure, urban areas induce very complex climate phenomena while notably impacting pedestrian safety and comfort in the urban microclimate. This paper presents the results of an investigation into the influence of urban block typology and building intensity on environmental performance in the context of the urban microclimate of a hot-humid high-density city. Qualitative and quantitative characterization of the building geometries used in this study was conducted to compare an existing block typology scenario with five new block typology scenarios in an area of 350 x 350 x 150 (L x W x H) meters. The scenarios investigated were composed of different settings for floor area ratio (FAR) and building coverage ratio (BCR) and different configurations of building elements (tower, podium, and courtyard). They were simulated and analyzed using the ENVI-met software. The simulation results indicate that the five new scenarios all improved the environmental thermal parameters and that the FAR has a greater influence than the BCR. FAR has the strongest correlation with air temperature, followed by solar radiation and relative humidity. The influence of BCR on humidity and wind speed is not as significant as that of FAR. A tower strongly influences wind speed in proportion to the height of the building. Open courtyards correlate with higher temperature and lower humidity than closed courtyards. The combination of a closed courtyard with a hybrid block consistently outperformed the other configurations in thermal performance. Within this framework, the proposed scenarios can provide recommendations for city design regulations and input for urban design methods to further improve microclimate performance.
