“…Tiruchirapalli, like many regions in South India, boasts indigenous architectural styles, like Arapura (Widiastuti & Vedamuthu, 2013), Srirangam dwellings (Kesavaperumal & K, 2019), and Chettinadu style houses (Widiastuti, 2013). The construction of buildings that deviate from vernacular settlements can result in the loss of indigenous knowledge (Jagatramka, et al, 2021) and negatively impact the cultural landscape (Kucuk, 2014). The observations related to social and economic factors and their pivotal role in shaping a building's structure (Wijeunge, 2013) are noteworthy.…”

This study investigates how the residents in Tiruchirapalli, India adapt to extreme summer temperatures within residential buildings, focusing on the hottest hours of the day. The research aims to understand adaptive behaviors to reduce dependence on mechanical heating and cooling systems, emphasizing the importance of innovative building designs.Methodologically, the study involves an extensive literature review and a questionnaire survey, overcoming challenges posed by post-COVID survey restrictions. It also highlights India's high energy consumption in the residential sector, driven by HVAC systems. Furthermore, it discusses the lack of standardized thermal comfort frameworks and the need for region-specific criteria.In the context of global warming and health concerns, the research underlines the significance of maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature. It also underscores the socio-cultural aspects and the preservation of cultural identity amidst modernization, offering insights into sustainable building designs that align with vernacular settlements. Overall, this study contributes valuable insights into adaptive behaviors, sustainable architecture, and energy-efficient practices in challenging climates, with implications for enhancing residents' thermal comfort, reducing energy consumption, and preserving cultural heritage.

“…The difference in pace is crucial as it provides indigenous people with the time and agency to select, adapt and integrate new elements more thoroughly into existing frames of knowledge. Within this state of continuous transformations, identifying the past, the present, and the upcoming vernacular built-forms becomes crucial to manage the loss of history, information and ethnicity of a region and its people (Jagatramka et al, 2021).…”

“…The Indonesian archipelago is well known for its diverse vernacular architecture, defined as built forms arising from the continuous accumulation of folk knowledge and traditions shaped by regional factors such as climate, material resources, and culture (Jagatramka et al, 2021;Pardo, 2023). Thus, vernacular architecture is not static, but continually undergoes transformations resulting from numerous changes within a historical context.…”

The Austronesian saddle roof is characterised by an extended ridge line resulting in outward sloping gable-ends likened to buffalo horns and boat sterns. It is one of the most distinctive and widely distributed elements in Southeast Asian vernacular architecture. This paper examines the former existence of the roof in Java, where it has been frequently depicted in the island's prehistoric and Hindu-Buddhist artefacts.The research employs a literature survey and comparative visual analysis using artefacts and interpretations in published literature as the main data. The artefacts are limited to those found in Java that have not been dated later than Java's Hindu-Buddhist period, which lasted until the 16 th century CE.The examination of the Central Javanese artefacts suggest that the Austronesian saddle has been introduced to Java in prehistoric times and had become a well-established vernacular feature by the time of Borobudur and Prambanan constructions in the 8 th to 9 th century. This is confirmed by regular representations in reliefs within a variety of narrative settings. Representations have become scarce in the East Javanese artefacts from the 10 th century onwards, where consistent representations only persist in stone miniatures. This suggests that the roof-form has been declining in popularity and may have already disappeared from the common use before the 16 th century. This could be attributed to two possible factors: environmental factors which caused suitable wood materials unavailable, and cultural factors of the coastal maritime community shifting to the hinterland become an agrarian community.There is however an exceptional case where the roof is recorded in the 20 th century West Java, suggesting that the roof may have survived in isolated pockets before disappearing altogether. The exact historic factors which have made these transformations, however, remain inconclusive due to the fragmentary evidence available. Further studies of their historic development and expand the notion of Javanese vernacular architecture as a dynamic and open-ended entity.

“…The concept of sustainability was adopted through the agenda 21, which focused on urban sustainability in its seventh chapter. Sustainability is based on a human perspective that aims to achieve a balance between the present needs and the ability to meet future needs (Ibrahim, 2012;Jagatramka, Kumar & Pipralia, 2020).…”

The idea of sustainability has emerged as a solution to many problems faced by cities and has become a mandatory practice in various fields and sectors, especially in the housing sector, given its significant economic and social importance. Therefore, it is essential to understand the concept of sustainability and how to achieve it in the planning of residential complexes. This research examines the problem of the varying levels of environmental sustainability in residential complexes, which has negatively affected the provision of suitable living conditions in many communities. It hypothesizes that indicators play a role in creating residential projects that are suitable from all social, economic, and environmental aspects. The aim of this study is to assess the level of urban sustainability in two residential complexes by measuring residents' satisfaction through self-determined indicators. The study relied on a descriptive approach and statistical methods, utilizing the Mann-Whitney U test to identify significant differences between the two complexes. The study found that most indicators showed significant differences. Among the notable findings were that most urban criteria related to the residential environments in the study area complied with national standards, except for the criteria related to the adequacy of educational, healthcare, and commercial services concerning the population size. Residents were dissatisfied with social indicators related to privacy, the scarcity of green and open spaces, play areas for children, and the lack of public transportation within the residential complex
