Nowadays, many cities develop their facilities, technologies, architectural, or even “starscape”. Rarely had urban area consider their ecological perspective into design practice mainly in tropical developing countries. In developing countries, river condition today has been deteriorating; thus, it will impact to the ecological continuity fragmentation. Bogor itself has the oldest Botanical Garden in Indonesia. It has richness in biodiversity, both plantations and animals. Nevertheless, there is a Ciliwung River break through the middle of the area, along the way to the Capital City of Indonesia, Jakarta. This study aims to find a new model of urban riverscape principles in a setting of urban area. The analysis had been done in this study, including river sinuosity calculation, corridor connectivity calculation using geographic information system (GIS) through list cost path analysis, and also finalized with designing the public and private open space as strategies to bloom the ecological aspect across the region.
Rawa Gede Hamlet is located in Tugu Utara Village, Bogor Regency, and nearby Mount Gede Pangrango. Beautiful sceneries of tea plantations and horticulture fields exist with various natural features such as waterfall and spring lake. However, a community business which manage coffee plantation awarded as the best national coffee called Cibulao Coffee also existed and give economical value to the local people. Therefore, Rawa Gede Hamlet has a potential to be developed as a tourism destination. The aim of this sudy is to assess how potentials Rawa Gede Hamlet as a tourism hamlet including both spatial and nonspatial aspects. In addition, the process of the study was a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods by using suitability scoring, community mapping, interview, and focus group discussion. This study also drove participatory approach as a core of research for design. The result showed that there are several tourism destination that had higher points than other according to tourism suitability. Those objects were Telaga Saat, Bukit Gerindra, Wisata Alam Gunung Luhur, Wisata Alam Gunung Kencana, dan Curug Sawer. Furthermore, this study was emerged also with non-spatial aspects and those acted as an identity of Rawa Gede Hamlet.
The concept of Biophilia shows how humans have a fundamental desire to connect and depend on nature, providing healing and positive impacts on emotional change. DKI Jakarta Province population number has increased significantly from year to year so that the need for green open space increases. Buperta City Forest Area has enormous potential to facilitate the needs of the green space in the City of East Jakarta, but the development of existing natural tourism is still not optimal. The concept of Biophilia can be a solution to increase the attraction, user experience, and increase relaxation benefits for Buperta Cibubur user in sustainable way. The objectives of this research are: (1) Identifying and studying the characteristics of the site and its users, (2) Developing criteria for the utilization of the Biophilia concept in green open spaces, and (3) Developing greenery layout arrangement recommendations. Furthermore, direct observation, interview, and literature study were used comprehensively to collect the data. Data processed using Biophilia approach, through descriptive analysis and spatial method of analyzing the potential and constraints from the site. Detail reccomendation developed on zones with strongest natural potential such as “Kempa”, Recreation Area, and Pine Forest, with each different approach of using Biophilia concept according to the environment and user characteristics. The output of the research is in the form of planting plan and site plan.
Various climbing plants can be selected as an element in the vertical greenery system. However, it should consider the species’ suitability to climb any vertical structure. This study aims to analyze the growth rates of several climbing plants in a vertical plane at different hole sizes of a wire mesh. The experimental design used in this experiment was a split-plot factorial randomized block design that consisted of two factors with three replications. The species factor consisted of Antigonon leptosus Hook, Clerodendrum thomsomniae Balf. f, and Thunbergia grandiflora Roxb., while the mesh (hole) size factor consisted of 4 cm and 6 cm. Galvanized wire mesh was used as a vertical plane, while the plane dimension in each experimental unit was 3 m in height and 0.5 m in width. The research results found the best treatments obtained in the growth of A. leptopus in a mesh size of 4 cm. A combination of A. leptopus in a mesh size of 4 cm produced the highest value in plant height, the number of leaves, the percentage of plant coverage, and increasing of flowers number. T.grandiflora and C.thomsoniae ranked second and third in growth rate, respectively
