A Japan Compact Bus Terminal; Review on Hakata Bus Terminal, Fukuoka

A mass transportation system has a main role in every development process of countries in the modern world. In Japan, transportation infrastructure such as train stations or bus terminals plays as an important node that determines the development of functions and other community activities in the surrounding area. Based on the compact city development concept, various types of transport infrastructure were constructed in the integrated area of city nodes and mixed with a various public and commercial functions and supported with a well-structured management of transportation systems. With the condition of limited land in the city nodes, transport infrastructure has to be built as a compact building. This paper reviews design and system of Bus Terminal in Japan from the architectural perspective with the issue of a compact building. As a study case, Hakata Bus terminal is one of Japanese bus terminal built with a slim building and vertically extended level without bus parking area. The platform was divided into three different floor levels with total ten building stories filled by various public and commercial functions. Time schedule, information system, people and vehicle circulation, and the other aspect become the main support to create a compact bus terminal. However, the commercial function is more prominent than the overall function of the building, thus making Hakata bus terminal does not show the typology terminal design in general. Overall, the terminal provides community services without ignoring the main function as a mass transportation system in a compact bus terminal

INDONESIA’S DEFENSE HEALTH PERSPECTIVE

The National Defense System is a systematic and planned concept, structure and organization, fostering the spirit of the universe of the people and nation, to strengthen and defend themselves from various threats, challenges, obstacles and disturbances that break the Indonesian building and network. The concept embodies software that contains the philosophy, purpose, theoretical framework and framework of the concept of national defense, as a soul and heart that moves continuously in the spirit of conscience defending the country. The purpose of this study is to develop a study about the strategic role of defense health as a diversified potential for multifunctional health to guide the national level of resilience. The potential of health in the field of defense with its strategic thinking decomposes the breadth of Indonesia's geographic region, which has distinctive characteristics of health problems based on geomedicine maps. The dynamic stratification of health problems makes geomedicine maps as a measure of defense health policy. The concept proposed in this study is expected to be one of the basic references in forming a defense health study program at Indonesia Defense University. The method, that needs to be developed, is the transformation of the health of Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI). At this time, it has achieved dynamic values in realizing a broader role, not only in the field of health services and support, but it has begun to expand into the field of research and development (R & D). This development also related to global challenges, where the spread/pandemic of illness becomes an extraordinary homework, especially related to defense health. Defense health is a multiparadigmatic concept with multidisciplinary scientific dimensions and parameters, and various multi-approaches (analysis, synthesis, and solution), based on philosophy and history, build a defense health characteristic that has a scientific perspective that has reliability and validity, so th purpose of this study can be obtained

Towards Transportation Digital Twin Systems for Traffic Safety and Mobility Applications: A Review

Digital twin (DT) systems aim to create virtual replicas of physical objects that are updated in real time with their physical counterparts and evolve alongside the physical assets throughout its lifecycle. Transportation systems are poised to significantly benefit from this new paradigm. In particular, DT technology can augment the capabilities of intelligent transportation systems. However, the development and deployment of networkwide transportation DT systems need to take into consideration the scale and dynamic nature of future connected and automated transportation systems. Motivated by the need of understanding the requirements and challenges involved in developing and implementing such systems, this paper proposes a hierarchical concept for a Transportation DT (TDT) system starting from individual transportation assets and building up to the entire networkwide TDT. A reference architecture is proposed for TDT systems that could be used as a guide in developing TDT systems at any scale within the presented hierarchical concept. In addition, several use cases are presented based upon the reference architecture which illustrate the utility of a TDT system from transportation safety, mobility and environmental applications perspective. This is followed by a review of current studies in the domain of TDT systems. Finally, the critical challenges and promising future research directions in TDT are discussed to overcome existing barriers to realize a safe and operationally efficient connected and automated transportation systems.Comment: 15 pages, 2 figures; corrected issue in author(s) fiel

Konsep Pendidikan Islam Membentuk Karakter Mencetak Sumber Daya Manusia Paripurna

The purpose of writing this article is to unravel how the concept of Islamic education character perspective and examines the views of Islamic education in shaping the character to the quality of human resources (Plenary). Character education in the perspective of Islam is education that shape human character and character superior in terms of intelligence quotient (IQ), emotional (EQ) and spiritual (SQ). The totality of these three will form a human intelligence is perfect (perfect man) or HR plenary. The method used in this paper is a sociological approach with descriptive type. While this type of research is the study of literature study (library research). The conclusion of this study is the first, the concept of character education in Indonesia is the education of the noble values sourced from Indonesian culture in order to develop the personality of the younger generation that includes three aspects: moral knowledge (moral knonwing), moral attitudes (moral feelling), and behavior moral (moral acting), in accordance with the purpose of Islamic education which includes three aspects of physical, spiritual and reasonable. Secondly, in building the concept of Islamic education, there are some very precise method is used as a learning approach, among others, recitations, study groups, tarbiyah, ta'dib, Tazkiyah, tadlrib. these methods show a learning system that is holistic and integrated and give effect to the kecerdasann intellectual development (IQ), emotional (EQ), spiritual (SQ). Third, building a complete SDM is essentially the development of human character and character superior in terms of intellectual, emotional, and spiritual. Output of character education in the frame of Islam is HR Plenary (Insan Kamil), HR have the character Siddiq, fathanah, trustworthy, and tabliqh are able to actualize the dimensions of intellectual, emotional, and spiritual holistically in relation to God (hablum minallah), himself (hablun binafsik), neighbor (hablun hablum), and with the natural surroundings (hablun minal'âlam)

Introductory Chapter: Overview of a Competent Sustainable Building

etween the human being and the protective building space, always a relationship with a reciprocal character a permanent arrangement, where the human being interest is to create the necessary poise to his different well-unfolded activities, under that cover as space. The building is a major element of human life. It is a major concern, a major purchase, and has a major effect upon our lives [1]. We spend over 90% of our time indoors. Today, the technological archetypes of the modern buildings are formed of a mixture of many components such as materials, energy, and construction configuration systems, which influence directly on human life and health. In marketing vision, architectural product being creations of the human work, a time-consuming good, as any other manufacture, it has not only to be produced but also to get the user’s disposal [2]. Although in sustainable design, the building becomes the system, subsystem should be examined. The climate has a solid impact on the conceptions of habitat forms and configuration of internal space [3]. While the holistic integration of systems is critical to sustainable building, every system within the system has its climatic advantage or disadvantage. The human being entered the third millennium without the hope of achieving permanent peace on our beautiful earth, sustainable development, and equality for all, where the earth is our sustainer, the chain of ecological survival. In the future, sustainable considerations will be a regular part of our basic beliefs and knowledge. Both of our norms and behavior as the physical environment must be automatically based on an environmentally balanced mind-set, not alone but along with many other considerations. Within planning, means that the green will be taken far to be more seriously that reuse of our cities will gain even more importance that green areas will be actively involved and that traffic patterns will be turned upside down. Reliability is the key to our human continuum and our prime resource for building. Earth sheltering, earth handling, and earth escaping are more clearly pronounced in the vocabulary of architectural planning and design. Trees for shade and windbreak can bear a consideration in architecture and landscaping. But general landscaping is regarded apart from the architecture, whereas in intelligent bioclimatic design, it is most effectual as an integral part of the architecture and interresponsive with its inland farming and landscaping. The building experience managed to isolate the building from the unfavorable climatic conditions, determining an inside microclimate able to provide for physical comfort. At lower latitudes, the climate moderates and summer heat, as well as rain, becomes significant. Windows are designed to admit the winter sunshine while excluding it in the summer. Insulation is used to minimize heat loss, and ventilation helps to counteract heat gain. Sustainability is an overall vision of creating quality in all parts of the building by making a whole positive in building manipulation, where an appropriate balance must be ensured between the environmental, social, and economic considerations, but also with the context in which the building is part—the city and society. In other words, the overall construction industry faces a significant transformation. A change that really matters to the development community, that keeping in mind that ecology means the doctrine of keeping communities, so take care of things. Sustainability is not mysterious, but requires common sense, consideration, and action. It became clear to understand that sustainable building is a designation of the edifice that meets UN criteria for sustainability [4]. A sustainable city is organized so as to enable all its citizens to meet their own needs and to enhance their well-being without damaging the natural world or endangering the living conditions of other people, now or in the future [5]. The concept of “sustainable building” comes from the concept of “sustainable development.” It was coined in the Brundtland Commission’s report after the first green conference in the UN’s Director had taken place in Stockholm 1972. The main task, of sustainability in building design, is to a great extent reduce the energy consumption of other buildings and other environmental loads, which has also been the cause of the authorities since the oil crisis in 1973. Since the oil crisis, there are still tightening rules for building energy consumption through the building regulations; but new rules in building regulations only apply to the new construction, which is limited in number to the total building stock. Therefore, in the case of renovations and extensions to existing buildings, it is up to the homeowner to take into account the environment. Sustainability in building sector means that account should be taken of the construction on the environment, both in the long term and in the short term. In addition, through all phases of a construction process, from the production of building materials until it returns as waste. But also the environmental burden that settlement means in the form of property, where building sustainable is to build for the future. In this concept, it is necessary to meet our generation’s needs without destroying the ability of future generations to meet their own necessities. That is, a building is sustainable in both environmental, economic, and social terms. In other words, it means that a building is responsible for the environment as little as possible, that the building’s overall economy from construction to demolition is as good as possible and that construction is as good as possible for people to live. In pursuit of sustainable solutions, there are many examples of choices and solutions that can immediately be sustainable, but which cannot be considered sustainable in the full perspective. For example, a unilateral focus on energy savings without regard to the indoor climate can result in imbalances between environmental and social quality, thus resulting in a nonsustainable solution. Another example is an unqualified requirement to use locally produced materials to minimize transport without looking at the energy used for the production of the materials. There has been a tendency for sustainability in construction to be perceived and introduced as single measures that can make the building sustainable. However, sustainable construction implies that planning and decision-making are based on an overall perspective, which cannot be ensured by individual measures. Low-energy buildings, environmentally friendly construction, green construction, and sustainable construction—are these all the same concepts? The answer is no—although they all aim to reduce energy consumption and to some extent limit environmental impact, sustainability differs significantly from the others [6]. The basic quality requirements for buildings will be expanded to include low resource consumption, recycling building materials, etc. In the sustainable building, planning and decision-making must be based on an overall perspective, which aims not only at low energy consumption, a good economy, or a good indoor climate. Instead, it should be said that the construction as a whole is sustainable and contributes to solving the environmental and societal challenges that we face.
