Architecture as a Syntax for Elderly Rejuvenation Design Proposal for Tropical Climate Country

Abstract

In an urban environment, the growing number of elderly population increases because of the increase in life quality. In order to face the increasing amount of elderly, the elderly needs to be empowered so they can still productive in their aging phase. This design research aims to upgrade the quality of Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) for the elderly through behavior setting of elderly by using Space Syntax. Field measurement and interview were conducted to obtain data for simulation using Depth Map analysis to predict room connection and integrity. The result highlighted that resilience design conducted through respect to the relation between the room that can lead elderly rejuvenation in tropical climate country.

Characterization of Passiflora edulis accessions with sweet taste potential in Padang

“…There were no apparent differences in leaf and petiole size among the accessions. These observations differ from [12], who stated that red passion fruit has dark green stem color, and finger-shaped (palminervis) leaves with a smaller size than yellow passion fruit P.edulis f. flavicarpa, but larger and thicker than purple passion fruit leaves.…”

“…Round red-rind has heavier fruit (102.5 g) than oval red-rind and oval yellow-rind passion fruit, supported by the thickness of rind (0.94 cm), the heavier fruit rind weight (49.75 g) and also the higher number of seeds (198.5 seeds). The fruit weight of round red-rind passion fruit in this study is in the range 75-120g [12]. Red-rind passion fruits are also reported to be tolerant to fusarium wilt disease [22].…”

“…Plant maintenance includes pruning and fertilizing by passion fruit cultivation procedures. Fertilization utilizes 50, 100 and 100 g/tree of urea, SP-36 and KCl, respectively and 50 g/tree of NPK (15:15:15) applied every three months [12].…”

“…The sour passion fruit with yellow-rind (P. edulis f. flavicarpa Deg.) adapted to low altitude conditions [12]. However, the presence of P. edulis with a sweet taste was reported from red and yellow-rind fruit populations.…”
