“…Social sustainability is more focused on improving the community's quality of life, while cultural sustainability is aimed at preserving the culture within the community. There are various methods, ranging from providing appropriate programs for cultural preservation to using materials, ornaments, and decorations that enhance people's awareness of their culture [14], [15]. In practice, there still needs to be clarity in determining or portioning the role of each sustainability dimension, especially with the addition of the culture dimension to the four pillars of sustainability.…”

Batik is part of the culture in Indonesia. With each region having its signature, the Government has taken various ways to ensure the sustainability of batik, providing a batik centre to support batik artisans and a batik museum to introduce culture to tourists. However, the program’s sustainability cannot be maintained, and it always fails for several reasons. One can be seen in kampong batik in Klampar Village, Indonesia; the Government provided a Batik Centre in 2022, but the following year, it was abandoned, and the community returned to producing batik in their homes. This research aims to formulate sustainable design criteria for Batik Cultural Centre based on the four dimensions of sustainability and sustainable tourism. The sustainability review of kampong batik in Klampar Village will carried out qualitatively, and the solutions offered will be analyzed empirically with the support of previous theories to provide credibility. The results show that six architectural aspects can be intervened in developing culture-based sustainable tourism: facilities, room programs, materials, skin, spatial connectivity, and floor plan. This study contributes to setting the design criteria for vernacular architecture that wants to be re-purposed as a tourism facility within the sustainability corridors.

“…The connection between heritage and identity is widely acknowledged in heritage studies, with material culture being considered a means to give a concrete form to the abstract and fluid concept of 'identity'. In a manner similar to history, heritage generates a sense of belonging and continuity [11], and its tangible nature reinforces these emotions with a sense of physical reality [31].…”

Architecture plays a crucial role in expressing identities. Cultural heritage as a sustainable process identifies the representation of architectural identity and its continuity. This study aims to create a model of the sustainable continuity of cultural heritage as an approach to studying architectural identity in Erbil. This study contributes to revealing a comprehensive model that includes the relationship between inherited and created sustainable elements related to cultural heritage that affects the continuity of architectural identity. The study combined visual analysis using graphical representation, the analysis of previous studies, field surveys, and questionnaire surveys as methods of data collection. The rationale behind selecting Erbil is related to its unique sustainable developments related to its cultural heritage through the ages, as the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. This paper built two hypotheses. The first assumes that there is a significant correlation between elements that represent cultural heritage as a sustainable process and the continuity of architectural identity, and the second assumes that certain elements of cultural heritage have a greater effect on the continuity of architectural identity. The proposed model revealed a strong correlation between independent variables that represent cultural heritage frameworks such as the typo-morphology of house layouts and facades, sociocultural factors, and sustainable development factors and the dependent factor of the continuity of architectural identity in houses situated in Erbil. The regression analysis demonstrated that the most effective factor contributing to the continuity of the architectural identity of houses in Erbil is the physical characteristics related to the typo morphology of the house’s plan layout.

“…24 Numerous architectural designs have been shaped by the prevailing zeitgeist, often without explicitly referencing a specific cultural identity. 25 This is due, in part, to the waning influence of local designs brought about by the pervasive impact of Western cultural influences. 26…”

The architectural traditions of Islamic cultures have been influenced by Islamic teachings historically. These teachings include values, such as discretion, modesty, and hospitality. These values work as guiding principles and impact the construction of Muslim houses, arrangement of spaces, and interaction of people with one another. However, the current political and social shifts, together with the ideas departing from Islamic cultural values are rather upsetting for Muslims. Resultantly, some of the architectural styles have emerged that go against the ideals and principles, upheld by Islamic beliefs. The current study, in connection with the influence of Islamic cultural values, attempted to examine the shape, traits, and components of housing, thoroughly. Moreover, it also focused on the interactions between these elements in different Islamic towns with different environmental conditions as well. Two case studies were conducted in the Kano metropolitan region by employing a qualitative methodology. This methodology comprised document analysis and direct observation presented within the context of interpretivist research paradigm. The findings showed that religious beliefs form the basis of regional design, with Islamic civilizations' architectural works deriving their inspiration directly from the Islamic principles. The academics underlined the significance to understand Islamic beliefs and values while taking into account the evolving conditions surrounding the contemporary designs in light of the research findings. This knowledge is essential to properly articulate the local Islamic identity in a way that responds to the demands of contemporary society.
