Survey on Household Energy Consumption of Public Apartments in Bandung City, Indonesia

Indonesia has been experiencing population and high economic growth in line with rapid urbanization. As a consequence, the needs for living areas increased faster and enormous number of residential buildings, especially apartments, have been developed in major cities, such as Bandung, resulting in further growth of energy consumption.Thus, it is necessary to develop energy-saving sustainable apartments in Indonesia in order to cope with escalating energy issues. This paper reveals the detailed profiles of household energy consumption of apartments in Bandung City, Indonesia. A survey within the city was conducted (n=100) in 2016 to obtain household energy consumption data of public apartments. The detailed information about household appliances and domestic energy consumption profile among households were investigated through the face-to-face interviews and the measurement of appliances' capacities by using the watt checker. The annual average energy consumption including electricity and gas was calculated. The results show that the annual average operational energy for public apartments are 9.8 GJ/year. The annual average energy for cooking accounts for the largest percentage (48%) of operational energy followed by refrigerator (27%), lighting (10%), entertainment (9%), cooling (3%), etc. The profiles of CO2 emissions are similar with those of energy and the potential energy-saving strategies for apartments in Indonesia were proposed

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

Evaluasi Penampilan dan Efek Heterosis Hasil Persilangan Beberapa Aksesi Jarak Pagar (Jatropha Curcas L.)

Agronomic performance and heterosis effect of progeny are important criteria for selection of parental hybrid. Theagronomic performance evaluation of Jatropha progeny which was derived from crossing of some Jatropha accessions hasbeen carried out for those goals. The study was conducted at Agro Techno Park, Indralaya South Sumatra. The crossingcombinations were Pidie x Medan, Curup x Lampung, Pidie x Lampung, Lampung x Pidie, Curup x Medan, Indralaya xPontianak, Medan x Palembang, Curup x Pidie, and Jogya x Komering. Oil production, nitrate reductase enzyme activity,leaf chlorophyll content and relative plant growth rate were evaluated. The result showed that the relative plant growth ratecould be used as early detection parameter for yield potential. Progenies of Pontianak x Indralaya, Palembang x Indralayaand Pidie x Lampung were selected as promising hybrids based on high productivity and heterosis effect

Park and Ride City Terminal, Antapani Bandung

Bandung as a growing city has transportation problem as other big cities have in Indonesia. About 3.55 million person/day (7.2% move in the morning peak hour) is moved within the city to make more crowded. Thus, a good urban planning is necessary. An urban planning cannot be separated from mass transportation system. City terminal is one of transportation infrastructures that serves mass transport on a local/city scale. City terminal is built by nodes of people activities such as schools, markets, residential areas, offices, etc. The principle of planning on land transport network system is to connect the system of city activities optimally according to the Masterplan of Transportation network. The purpose of this paper is to design a city terminal that can accommodate people movements and activities as well as can decrease the rate of personal vehicles uses by persuading people to use public transportation. City Terminal which was developed in the first nodes of people movements aims to break and cope up the density with functional approaches such as park and ride system. This paper explains how a city terminal could decrease a number of vehicle's density by using park and ride concept in a residential area where is a start and end point of the system transport network. Park & ride is the type of terminal where the passengers' personal vehicles can park and continue their journey by using public transportation instead. The paper ends by designing a park and ride city terminal located in Antapani, Bandung
