Disaster is one of the most significant global challenges confronting the society and environment in recent days. It poses a threat to the cultural heritage of conservation areas, including Malay Kampung (Kampung Melayu) Semarang. Today, it is experiencing physical, social and economic degradation, triggered by environmental factors and disasters such as flooding. This research therefore aims to identify the areas of residual disasters and monitor its impact on spatial expression and the resilience patterns. New adaptation and spatial expression develop when there is prolonged contact between flood disaster and the environment. Hence, a spatial expression transformation due to disaster adaptation occurs this expression is a type of resiliency pattern vulnerable in the area. During flood disasters, this pattern is essential to observe and understand the resiliency along with the sustainability of the cultural heritage of these affected areas. This research used qualitative method, Descriptive analysis technique conducted in this study to determining the research area delineation, identifying phenomena of flood disasters in Malay Kampung Semarang, analyzing spatial expression of Malay Kampung Semarang, and determining flood effects on spatial expression. Banjar Kampung was then chosen to represent the entire Semarang Malay Kampung. The spatial expression affected the building conditions, resulting in damage to some inhabited and non-inhabited buildings though some were not severely affected (are in good condition), and however, the buildings can be renovated. Out of the 57 buildings, in the region, 41 are in good condition and 16 others are in damaged condition. The result obtained from the study indicated that the flood phenomenon that occurred is now improved. The occurrence, depth, affected areas and duration of flood has improved as shown in this study.

No abstract

This study examines pedestrian and street vendor activity in the vicinity of Johar Market, one of Semarang City’s busiest markets. Observations were made to get a complete picture of this study based on four targets: user characteristics, user movement patterns, physical environment characteristics around pedestrian paths, and the availability of street furniture. Data were obtained based on the results of seven days of observations, namely, over a thousand pedestrians and street vendor activities that occurred along the pedestrian path. Spatial analysis techniques with GIS are used to analyze the data from the observations. In addition, the pedestrian path’s quality is calculated using the PEQI (Pedestrian Environmental Quality Index) standard. The results of the analysis show that the quality of the pedestrian path around Johar Market is still relatively low, with a value of 19.84, placing it in category 4, indicating that the pedestrian path is insufficient because it does not meet the standard. The pedestrian path design category and the availability of street furniture received the lowest ratings. The results of this study can be used as reference material in designing pedestrian paths that meet the needs and meet service standards.

Pidie District is one of the areas in Aceh Province 62 PENDAHULUANKabupaten Pidie merupakan salah satu wilayah di Provinsi Aceh yang kaya akan bahan tambang seperti emas, tembaga, pasir besi dan mineral logam lainnya. Di wilayah studi yaitu Kecamatan Geumpang dan Kecamatan Tangse memiliki potensi kandungan emas yang potensial ditambang, yang kadar emas didalam batuan mencapai 0,5 gr/ton. Adanya potensi tambang tersebut telah memunculkan banyak kegiatan pertambangan emas illegal. Pertambangan emas ilegal di wilayah studi sebagian besar terindikasi terdapat dilahan kawasan hutan lindung dan hal tersebut telah melanggar rencana tata ruang provinsi dan kabupaten. Pertambangan emas ilegal juga menyebabkan dampak negatif bagi lingkungan yaitu menurunnya kualitas lingkungan di sekitar area pertambangan emas ilegal.Pemerintah daerah telah berusaha melakukan pengendalian, pengawasan dan telah memiliki peraturan daerah serta perangkat lainnya berupa instansi-instansi teknis yang memiliki kewenangan dalam pengendalian tata ruang kawasan tambang dan pengawasan kegiatan pertambangan. Namun hal tersebut belum mampu mengatasi kegiatan pertambangan emas ilegal di wilayah studi.
