“…This paper attempted to develop certain parameters for a tropical township, using Sentul City as a model to develop the parameters. Challenges, as also experienced by previous researchers [6,10] arose when developing the parameters, mainly because (a) the existing published parameters were based on a city in other countries, that might not or less appropriate for Indonesia, (b) as mentioned previously, many biophilic parameters were developed for building only or for the entire city, and not for a township (e.g., small town in rural area, to some extent is linked to the nearby city for economic development and other facilities), (c) parameters were easily overlapped across different scales, (d) biophilic parameters can be perceived as a living parameters, of which some new additional parameters might be added to follow current global development, for example the pandemic Covid-19 (which might require a stricter health protocols and highly safety standard). These parameters were developed based on Sentul City township.…”

“…Basic selection of parameters ware based on the study on the biophilic regeneration study in Korea [10]. The biophilic features consisted of 12 parameters (Figure 1) linked to (a) support for biodiversity (totalling 5 parameters), (b) enhancing experience with nature (5 parameters), and (c) collaboration with nature system (2 parameters).…”

There has been a global attempt to evaluate and regenerate cities, residential areas, and building toward a more biophilic (‘connect with nature’) design, as an effort in promoting development based on environmental sustainability. The objective of the study was to search proper biophilic parameters to be applied for a township, and provide some necessary suggestions for the proposed parameters. Sentul City township was selected as a model to develop the parameters. Literature studies on biophilic design combined with an intensive field survey were performed to develop the parameters. Scales and parameters were developed accordingly. There were 37 parameters across four scales (entire township, building, block or cluster, household) and one sub-scale (neighbourhood) that were developed for the township being studied. Eight parameters were overlapped among the parameters, resulting in 29 non-overlapping parameters. To decrease some ambiguity and confusion, photos representing parameters of each scale were also included in this paper. Some parameters could be much more important than others, and thus weighting and standardization might be necessary in the later steps. As this result is still in embryonic stages, further development and elaboration of the parameters is still needed, involving many researchers and practitioners from relevant background.

“…Recently, attempts have been made to support various experiences with nature by linking biophilic design and smart technology; however, it is important to analyze users’ requirements for specific SHS development and efficient application. Therefore, we reorganized the biophilic experience-based SHS based on the previously discussed contents and the results of our previous studies [ 27 , 28 ] to analyze the biophilic SHS preference of the elderly. Table 2 lists the SHS, related devices, and sensors for the three biophilic experiences.…”

“…First, through prior research and literature, we examine the residential environment for the elderly, smart homes, and the elderly’s perception of SHS and technology and discuss the characteristics and necessity of biophilic design experience. Second, we reorganized the SHS of the three biophilic experiences and related sensors and devices, focusing on our previous research [ 27 , 28 ]. In this study, we developed a survey instrument for biophilic experience-based SHS.…”

Smart home services (SHS) should support the positive experiences of the elderly in homes with a focus on getting closer to nature. The study identified the services preferred by the elderly through a survey on the biophilic experience-based SHS, and to discuss the configuration of the sensors and devices required to provide the service. We reorganized the biophilic experience-based SHS and related sensors and devices, focusing on our previous study, and developed a survey instrument. A preference survey was conducted on 250 adults aged 20 and older, and the SPSS program was used for a factor analysis and independent two-sample T-test. We derived six factors for biophilic experience-based SHS. Compared to other age groups, the elderly preferred services that were mainly attributed to factors such as ‘Immersion and interaction with nature’ (A), ‘Management of well-being and indoor environmental quality (IEQ)’ (B), and ‘Natural process and systems’ (F). We proposed 15 prioritized services, along with their sensor and device configurations, in consideration of service provision regarding the elderly’s preferences and universality. This study contributes to new developments in elderly-friendly smart home research by converting bio-friendly ideas into the market in the development of medical services and SHS for the elderly.

Biophilic design: an effective design approach during pandemic and post-pandemic

Purpose The emergence of Covid-19 and its epidemic features have affected many people around the world. Regardless of the physical and psychological problems caused by it, people must isolate themselves from their surroundings. This problem is more intense in urban areas where people live in crowded apartments and high-rise buildings. During the lockdown, residents of such buildings suffered from disconnection from nature, in addition to the lack of communication with others. As most multi-story apartments and residential complexes do not have separate green spaces and do not provide a safe connection to nature for occupants, it is very tough for the residents of these buildings to endure the disease, and occupants are more vulnerable to disease. Accordingly, this study proposes the biophilic design as an effective approach to provide a secure connection with nature in residential complexes and high-rise apartments. Design/methodology/approach The questionnaire method was used in this study to analyze the raised hypotheses. Two types of residential zones were selected for the survey and comparing the results. One is apartment units without dedicated green space, and the other is villa houses with private green space. Size of the sample population include 300 people (150 residents of an apartment block and 150 residents of villa homes). Findings Strict restrictions during the pandemic have prevented people from connecting with nature, especially in urban areas, owing to the lack of separated and dedicated green spaces, whereas connection with nature can be healing and lead to relieving anxiety and stress in this era based on the approved research. Accordingly, applying a biophilic approach to the design process would be helpful. Research limitations/implications The lack of a biophilic project to observe was one of the limitations of this study. Being an available biophilic project in the surroundings could be very helpful to observe and acquire comprehensive knowledge and experiences from the handlers and users of biophilic buildings. Practical implications This study can be beneficial for patients, individuals and occupants of apartments and residential complexes in urban areas who suffer from distance from nature and green spaces during the restrictions of pandemics such as Covid-19. Originality/value This study proposes the use of biophilic architecture in the design process of residential complexes and high-rise apartments to provide isolated and dedicated green spaces for occupants, especially during the lockdown when people have been deprived of parks and public green spaces.
