This study aims to identify the management system for Taman Imbi by the Department of Public Works and Public Housing (Dinas PUPR) and to analyze its comfort level based on the perceptions of park visitors and street vendors (PKL). Taman Imbi, managed by the PUPR Service (Section for Environmental Management and Parks), is one of the main urban parks in the city center of North Jayapura District. The research uses a descriptive, qualitative approach combined with Likert-scale analysis. Primary data were obtained from questionnaires distributed to 100 park visitors and 10 business actors (PKL) operating around the park. Eight comfort indicators were assessed, based on Hakim (2003): aesthetics, cleanliness, safety, noise, circulation, aroma, physical form, and climate/natural forces. Results indicate that, based on visitor perceptions, the overall comfort level was 56.0% (fairly good), while PKL perceptions were 64.4% (good). Among all indicators, circulation scored the lowest for visitors (46.2%), particularly ease of access. Aroma/odor scored the highest for PKL (80.0%). The study recommends rehabilitating park facilities, reactivating security posts, improving pedestrian and parking access, and clarifying spatial zoning for economic and community activities in the park.

This study examines the effectiveness of local government policies in infrastructure development and urban park management as multifunctional public spaces at Bundaran Besar Palangkaraya. Rapid urban development and increasing community needs for public spaces have encouraged the government to revitalize this area as a city landmark and social interaction space.

The results show that the development and revitalization of Bundaran Besar have improved aesthetic quality, public facilities, environmental conditions, and social functions. However, several challenges remain, including limited accessibility for certain groups, suboptimal management and maintenance systems, and traffic and parking issues during peak hours. The analysis indicates that although government policies have contributed positively to the development of public spaces, their effectiveness is still not fully optimal. Therefore, stronger governance, community participation, and sustainable management strategies are needed to enhance the role of Bundaran Besar as an inclusive, functional, and sustainable public space.

This study analyzes the cinematography strategies in determining creative visuals in the documentary film "2000 for Parking: The Phenomenon of Illegal Parking Attendants in Jatinangor," which documents the practice of illegal parking for Rp2,000-Rp5,000 in the Sumedang educational area as a social critique of the weak supervision of public spaces. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with frame-by-frame content analysis based on Joseph V. Mascelli's 5Cs theory and Bill Nichols' expository mode, the results demonstrate the dominance of eye-level angles (65%), low-key natural lighting (70%), handheld shaky camera (40%), and match cuts to build empathy, urgency, and a persuasive three-act narrative about the phenomenon of urban poverty. This visual strategy represents a power imbalance through low angles and rack focus, resulting in a 40% increase in audience awareness based on test screenings. Budget limitations are overcome through authentic improvisation that distinguishes the film from conventional Indonesian documentaries. The study concludes that cinematography is an effective visual storyteller for social advocacy, suggesting the integration of VR and AI-assisted techniques for future productions.

The development of smart cities has become a strategic priority for local governments seeking to enhance citizens’ quality of life, strengthen sustainable development, and improve public space management. Kambang Iwak Park in Palembang represents one of the city’s major urban green spaces that has undergone significant revitalization and serves as a case study for smart city implementation in public areas. This study analyzes the application of Cohen’s six smart city dimensions—Smart People, Smart Living, Smart Government, Smart Economy, Smart Mobility, and Smart Environment—and their relationship with Carmona’s six urban design dimensions. This qualitative–descriptive research utilizes visual observations, historical data, and facility documentation extracted from the provided presentation. The findings indicate that Kambang Iwak Park effectively integrates several smart city dimensions, particularly Smart Living, Smart Environment, and Smart Mobility. Nonetheless, issues such as irregular parking, insufficient smart services, and poorly organized street vendors remain challenges. The study concludes that integrating smart city principles with urban design concepts enhances public space quality and supports sustainable urban development in Palembang.

The rapid pace of housing development in Bogor has created a gap with the provision of formal infrastructure, which has encouraged the emergence of community-led self-help road initiatives. While capable of addressing urgent connectivity needs, these road formations often ignore essential design standards, particularly those related to circulation and environmental context. This study focuses on a specific challenge in Bogor, namely high rainfall ("force of nature"), which contributes to road degradation, causing flooding, and reducing user comfort. Adopting a descriptive qualitative method, this study analyzes the existing self-help access conditions through field observations and a literature review focusing on Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) principles and circulation theory. Field findings confirm that the current design fails to manage surface runoff, resulting in low infiltration and the emergence of functional space conflicts (e.g., for parking and social activities). As a solution, this study proposes an integrated design demonstration that combines porous materials and micro-drainage to manage the force of nature, thereby improving circulation comfort and supporting active living for residents.

The rapid population growth and urbanization in Jakarta have led to various urban challenges, one of the most significant being traffic congestion, which incurs substantial economic losses. One proposed solution is the development of Transit Oriented Development (TOD) areas, particularly through the expansion of mass transit infrastructure such as the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system. This study examines the potential for TOD development in the planned East–West MRT Corridor, with a case study focused on the Grogol MRT Station. This area is considered strategically significant due to its integration with multiple transportation modes, including TransJakarta, microtrans services, and a Type B bus terminal. This research employs a quantitative approach, utilizing both primary and secondary data. The assessment is conducted using a TOD Index method based on three core principles: density, diversity, and design. The analysis reveals that the Grogol MRT Station area has a population density of 19,953 people/km² and a building density of 2,741 units/km², both of which meet the criteria for an urban-scale TOD. The land use entropy index is 0.63, indicating a moderate level of land-use diversity. However, the availability of pedestrian paths (33.96%), bicycle lanes (1.67%), parking facilities (1.84%), and open green space (1.79%) remains significantly below the ideal TOD standards. Overall, the TOD Index score for this area is 0.417, placing it among the bottom five MRT stations in Jakarta. Despite this, the area fulfills the density requirements for urban TOD classification. Nevertheless, challenges remain, including insufficient pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, limited green spaces, and low land-use diversity. Planning interventions are thus necessary, focusing on the provision of integrated pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, functional public spaces, and mixed-use zoning to promote sustainable urban mobility.
