Penelitian ini mengkaji transformasi jaringan perkotaan Kotabaru Yogyakarta melalui pendekatan tipomorfologis, dengan fokus pada ketahanan dan kemampuan beradaptasi elemen ruang di tengah perubahan perkotaan yang cepat. Awalnya dirancang berdasarkan konsep Garden City, Kotabaru telah mengalami transformasi signifikan, termasuk konversi zona perumahan menjadi penggunaan komersial, pengurangan ruang terbuka hijau, dan meningkatnya ketidakkonsistenan arsitektural. Menggunakan analisis spasial diachronis dari tahun 1925 hingga 2025, penelitian ini mengidentifikasi pergeseran morfologis kunci dan mengkategorikan elemen perkotaan menjadi tipe persisten, pendorong, dan patologis. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa meskipun beberapa struktur permanen, seperti jaringan jalan radial dan bangunan kolonial, tetap ada, mereka tidak cukup untuk mempertahankan idealisme Garden City di hadapan komersialisasi, tekanan populasi, dan tuntutan infrastruktur. Degradasi ruang hijau—dari 45,3% pada tahun 1925 menjadi 24,61% pada tahun 2025—lebih lanjut menyoroti hilangnya keseimbangan ekologi dan spasial. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa ketahanan jaringan perkotaan memerlukan lebih dari sekadar keabadian fisik; ia membutuhkan penegakan kebijakan yang konsisten, perlindungan ekologi, dan intervensi desain yang sensitif terhadap konteks. Temuan ini berkontribusi pada strategi revitalisasi berkelanjutan distrik perkotaan warisan di bawah tekanan modernisasi.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh bentuk bukaan terhadap kondisi termal bangunan Masjid Jami Al-Hurriyah di Jakarta Selatan. Penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan dukungan data kuantitatif sebagai data pendukung untuk memperkuat analisis kualitatif, bukan untuk pengujian statistik. Teknik pengumpulan data meliputi observasi lapangan, pengukuran suhu udara menggunakan termometer digital, serta analisis visual terhadap pola aliran udara pada setiap lantai bangunan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: (1) bukaan yang terbatas di lantai dasar menyebabkansirkulasi udara tidak optimal dengan suhu berkisar antara 27,6–29,3°C; (2) penggunaan bukaan lebar berbahan kaca di lantai satu meningkatkan suhu ruang hingga 29,1°C akibat paparan radiasi matahari; dan (3) keberadaan bukaan vertikal berupa skylight di lantai dua mampu menciptakan mekanisme stack ventilation yang lebih efektif dengan suhu ruang berkisar antara 26,8–27,3°C. Meskipun demikian, seluruh lantai bangunan belum memenuhi standar kenyamanan termal berdasarkan SNI, yaitu 22,8–25,8°C. Implikasi dari penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya penerapan strategi desain pasif, seperti optimalisasiventilasi silang, pengendalian radiasi matahari melalui elemen peneduh, serta pemilihan material bangunan yang mampu mengurangi perpindahan panas, guna meningkatkan kenyamanan termal pada bangunan masjid di iklim tropis.
