Biomass productivity and organic cycles in tropical regions are the highest in the world because of increased temperature, rainfall, humidity, and sunlight year-round. Organic waste not only comes from the agricultural sector (agriculture, horticulture, plantation, forest, livestock, and fisheries), but also from non-agricultural entities (cities, market, offices, households, campuses, industries, and other sectors). Organic waste volume from the integrated campus UGM yard reached 30 tons/day, requiring the support of adequate self-managed waste management facilities. Various experimental approaches were used in designing the Waste Management Centre at UGM as part of an edutainment (education and recreation) program. The problems at the Waste Management Centre included (1) an integrated system of recreational functions in biogas and compost processing; (2) high operational costs; and (3) space efficiency for productivity and processing. Development of a ‘Shaft Garden’ was chosen a solution for (1) creating visual attraction and space experiences from biogas and compost management; (2) utilizing gravitational force as a utility distribution system; and (3) creating a sequence of spaces according to the function. Integrated organic-cycle management by empowering the 9R (Reuse, Reduce, Recycle, Refill, Replace, Repair, Replant, Rebuild, Reward) framework with a multi-function and multi-product approach has provided higher value-addition to environmental, economic, socio-cultural, and health aspects.

This study aimed to determine the factors that influence student learning comfort in the classroom and its distribution. This explorative study employed 772 students who were elementary school, junior high school, and senior high school students in several Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta schools. Data collection techniques using open questionnaires. The data analysis technique uses qualitative analysis which consists of three stages: open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. The results showed that the factors that influence learning comfort of students in the classroom include: air circulation, quietness, cleanliness, adequate & supportive facilities, and peer attendance. These five factors are among other factors that are grouped into two: 1) factors originating from the physical environment (of building & site themes and of indoor space themes); and 2) factors from within its occupants (of human themes). The theme that shows the highest influence comes from the physical conditions in the classroom, that is indoor space themes.

Rumah cenderung mengalami perkembangan dari desain awalnya. Hal ini terjadi karena beberapa alasan, seperti keterbatasan dana pada awal pembangunannya, dan kebutuhan ruangnya yang semakin bertambah. Renovasi kemudian menjadi sesuatu yang umum  dilakukan disetiap rumah.  Jika demikian maka diperlukan adanya suatu konsep yang memberikan solusi dalam pengembangan rumah yang efektif. Tantangan terbesar pengembangan rumah adalah pada keterbatasan lahan dan anggaran untuk membangunnya. Konsep rumah tumbuh merupakan alternatif pemecahan dalam desain rumah yang berkembang. Konsep pengolahan desain rumah tumbuh ini dapat menjadi panduan dalam memilih atau membangun rumah bagi masyarakat. Rumah Tumbuh berdasarkan arah perkembangannya dibagi menjadi rumah tumbuh horizontal dan rumah tumbuh vertikal. Jika lahannya luas, maka memungkinkan untuk pengembangan horisontal. Namun jika lahan terbatas, maka  harus dilakukan pengembangan vertikal. Berdasarkan tahapan pengembangannya, perencanaan rumah tumbuh dapat dilakukan dengan mendesain denah ruang yang diperlukan secara keseluruhan, disertai dengan perencanaan tahap pembangunannya.

As a public building, the Campus 1 of UPGRIS requires to comply with the accessibility for all (including the diffabled people). Yet, the current condition causes the diffable people unable to access the facilities of the building, which means they are not capable of doing their activities on their own. How should we determine the condition? and how should be advise to retrofit?. The purpose of this reasearch is to identify and analyse the need of diffabled people facilities in campus 1 UPGRIS which have multiple factor. Qualitative and quantitative methods are used in the process of analyzing the problem through comparative analysis according to the regulation, hereinafter a scoring analysis will be held quantitatively to determine the priority of the problem. Commonly the dimension of the doors which width less than 80 cm, so the wheelchair can't go through the room. The conclusion for all building, is not prepared well for the diffable people acting independently.

<span lang="EN-US">School space plays an essential role in creating a pleasurable learning atmosphere. The tendency of everyone to choose a school space also varies. By knowing this trend pattern, schools can be designed to improve student learning effectiveness. The purpose of this study was to find out which school spaces students choose to study, what kind of room criteria are needed, and distribution patterns of students' preference choices. This research used both the qualitative exploratory and quantitative methods using an open-ended question questionnaire for data collection. Data analysis techniques used qualitative analysis methods consisting of open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. The results showed that the library, mosque, and multimedia laboratory were the most preferred space for students to study at school. Some factors that influence the selection include thermal comfort, completeness of supporting facilities, and acoustic comfort.</span>
