Many houses around Mlangi Muslim settlement refer to the historical aspect of settlement in its spatial layout as the Moslem settlements. Mlangi well known as Kampung Santri - village with many of Islamic Boarding Schools (Pondok Pesantren in Indonesia term) where students live in there- since 1920an. This paper will describe how the spatial value of local houses around Islamic Boarding Schools in Mlangi Moslem settlements. The naturalistic-phenomenology method was the research method for data collection. Data got from subsequent interview after the appearance theme from one research object to the next. Any argument that correlated with the spatial value grouped as the same theme and analyzed as the substantive concept about the spatial value in the houses. The room layout from each home drawn one by one as the existing condition and the value of the room got from the comments of the owner. Cross-checking information technic from the members in the house helped the research to mention many spatial values in-house and then conclude as the room concept and its correlation to the stigma as the Kampung Santri and Moslem Settlements. It also compares the similarity of the indoor room layout and zone in Pondok Pesantren. From existing condition and interviews found that all the houses have the similar function and room layout with the Pondok Pesantren around it. 6 observed houses and 15 interviewed owners stated that they want to make their house as the places and spaces for teaching holy Al Qur'an same like in Pondok Pesantren. That is like a dream come true if a house can hold any recitation and teach holy Al Qur'an and Islamic Knowledge to the neighbor. From this condition, researchers conclude that there is close relation about the significance building in one settlement to their neighbor building, not only in the activity in each house but also in room layout and zone. Religious value and people understanding and dream about the ideal space even get impact from it.
Contextuality is one of the main issues in urban architectural design. The addition of new non-context construction is likely to reduce the urbanized features. An infill design is needed as one of the maintenance strategies. This strategy is found to focus more on the heritage buildings unobserved in ordinary architecture. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the contextualization of designs in an urban setting, using the infill architecture strategy. A semi-systematic literature review was used through the exploration of Google Scholar and ScienceDirect within the last five years, where 30 articles were found and analytically explored to determine the main elements and methods of infill architecture. The results showed that this strategy was based on material and details, form, scale, place, position, and usage. Besides the maintenance of contextuality, innovation was also observed through a creative combination of building elements and infill methods.
In the vernacular design method, almost every general building standard cannot apply because of its unique condition. There was not any consideration about building design standards in Pondok Pesantren. They developed the group of buildings only based on the fund and land availability, and then the neighbor duplicated their method. The purpose of this paper is to assess the chances and challenges of Pondok Pesantrens in Indonesia, to develop sustainable Muslim settlements with Mlangi Muslim Settlement in Yogyakarta as a case study. Sustainable Construction Assessment Tool (SCAT) by the Holcim is used as the assessment tool to calculate sustainability. Three aspects are assessed from the economy, environmental and social to draw the existing conditions. The major findings of this research are stated in the environmental aspect; Pondok Pesantren is in a bad state regarding the terrible condition of water, energy, waste and site by the lack of condition of the settlement layout. Pondok Pesantren has chances to improve their environment using some strategies that would encourage the community to take the same action for its improvement as well. Socio-culture challenges need to be solved; the Pondok Pesantren has vowed to prioritize their significant role to make better quality Muslim settlements in Indonesia.
