Elemen visual yang paling berpengaruh pada fasade bangunan modern pasca kolonial di Jalan Kayutangan yaitu Komponen Geometri (gaya arsitektural, bentuk fasade, garis horisontal, dan garis vertikal) dan Komponen Efek Raba Visual & Dimensi Warna (tekstur, ornamen, material, warna muka bangunan, kemurnian warna, serta kecerahan warna).

This research aims to explore people’s preferences of urban design qualities for walking on a commercial street, with Kawi Street located in a commercial neighborhood in the town of Malang Indonesia as the case study. Based on a literature review, this study used eight urban design qualities, i.e., enclosure, legibility, human scale, transparency, complexity, coherence, linkage, and imageability. This study applied a survey research method using a self-administered paper-pencil questionnaire applying two measurement techniques: Likert scale was used to explore people’s evaluations of urban design qualities of the street, while multiple-rating scales were used to measure people’s preference for walking on the street. One hundred and ten people randomly selected as respondents. Regression analysis was employed to explore the influence of urban design qualities on people preference for walking. Results indicated four urban design qualities that affect people’s choice for walking on a commercial street, i.e., transparency, coherence, linkage, and imageability. Implications of the findings will be discussed in the paper.

This study explored the relations of urban design qualities, the adaptability and people’s preference for walking on a commercial street. The research employed survey research method using a self-administered questionnaire applying Likert scale and multiple rating scale techniques. One hundred and three respondents participated in the study. Descriptive statistics and correlations analysis were used to answer the research questions. Results indicated the adaptability quality of a street may depend on the spatial quality of the street such as legibility, human scale, coherence, and imageability while it does not correlate with the appearance of the street such as transparency, complexity, and enclosure. Meanwhile, people’s preference of a street for walking may depend on both qualities. Implications of the findings will discuss further in the paper.© 2016. The Authors.

ABSTRAKTulisan ini menyajikan hasil penelitian yang dimaksudkan untuk menggali hubungan antara aspek residensial dengan place identity (identitas suatu tempat sebagaimana yang dirasakan oleh seseorang) dalam wilayah urban, dengan Kota Malang sebagai lokus penelitian. Konsep place identity dievaluasi berdasarkan 5 aspek: continuity, familiarity, attachment, commitment, dan external evaluation, sedangkan aspek residensial mencakup tipe kepemilikan rumah, tempat kelahiran, lama tinggal di Kota Malang, dan mobilitas perpindahan rumah di dalam kota. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survei dengan self administered questionnaire menggunakan skala Likert sebagai instrumen penelitian. Dua ratus empat puluh responden dipilih secara random berdasarkan daftar nama pada buku telepon Kota Malang yang terbaru. Dimensi yang mendasari evaluasi masyarakat terhadap place identity yang merupakan konsep penting dalam bidang ilmu psikologi lingkungan diungkap melalui analisis faktor dan analisis regresi berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada tiga dimensi yang mendasari evaluasi masyarakat terhadap place identity di perkotaan, yaitu Faktor Hubungan Personal, Faktor Lingkungan Fisik, dan Faktor Komitmen. Secara bersama-sama ketiga faktor tersebut memberikan kontribusi 51,6% bagi terbentuknya place identity. Lebih jauh hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada tiga variabel dari aspek residensial yang mempengaruhi evaluasi masyarakat terhadap place identity, yaitu status kepemilikan rumah, tempat kelahiran, dan lama tinggal di kota tersebut.Kata kunci : identitas tempat; identitas urban; perencanaan dan perancangan kota; psikologi lingkungan ABSTRACT This research aims to explore relationship of residential aspects and place identity in urban scale.

Residential aspects that were explored in this research include type of home ownership, place of birth, length of residence, and residential mobility. The study employed survey method with self administered questionnaire using Likert scale as research instrument. Two hundred and forty respondents were randomly selected as participants based on the telephone user list. Factor analysis, regressions analysis and chisquare analysis were employed to answer the research questions. Results indicated that there are three underlying dimensions of place identity: Personal Relations, Physical Environment, and Commitment. The three factors count for 51.6% of the variance of place identity evaluations. This study further found that type of residential ownership, place of birth, and length of residence, have influence on place identity.
