Vol. 4 No. 02 (2024)Message from Editor
We proudly present the latest edition of the International Journal of Environment, Architecture, and Societies (IJEAS), Volume 4, Issue 2 for the year 2024. This issue continues our tradition of exploring diverse topics within the fields of environment, architecture, and societies. Our journal is committed to providing a platform for high-quality research and discussions that span from design, planning, and building technology to urban and settlement studies, history, arts, research, and education.
The theme for this issue is Environmental Futures: Advancing Discourses in Environment, Architecture, and Societies. This theme is particularly timely as it highlights the pressing need for innovative approaches to address the complex challenges facing our built and natural environments. In this issue, we are proud to showcase five meticulously selected articles authored by scholars from Indonesia, Japan, and India. Each article addresses unique aspects of our theme, contributing to a broader understanding of the intersections between environment, architecture, and societies.
The first article examines the spatial transformation of the Tampuk Pinang Pura (TPP) area in Pangkalpinang City, Indonesia, highlighting the challenges of urban governance and the role of public infrastructure in revitalizing socially troubled spaces. The second paper reviews the use of wood as a sustainable construction material, analyzing its potential to reduce CO2 emissions and promote environmental sustainability, while addressing the challenges associated with its use. Another study proposes placemaking strategies for outdoor spaces within Transit-Oriented Developments (TODs), specifically at Rajawali Station in Jakarta, aiming to enhance public space usability and support sustainable urban development. The fourth article explores the role of rural landscapes in the Indonesian independence struggle, through an analysis of Japanese-produced newsreels from 1942-1945, offering a fresh perspective on how these spaces shaped national identity. Lastly, the issue investigates the impact of globalization on contemporary Islamic architecture, focusing on balancing modern functional requirements with the preservation of cultural heritage in religious buildings across various regions.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the authors and for their scholarly contributions, which have enriched this issue and provided new avenues for exploration and discussion. We hope that these articles inspire further research and dialogue within the academic and professional communities.

Dynamic Synergy of Sustainable Future for Environment, Architecture, and Societies
Vol. 4 No. 01 (2024)Message from Editor
We are pleased to present the latest edition of the International Journal of Environment, Architecture, and Societies (IJEAS), Volume 4, Issue 1 for the year 2024. Within the pages of this journal, we explore topics encompassing the fields of environment, architecture, and societies. Our focus spans from design, planning, and building technology to urban and settlement studies, history, arts, research, and education.
The Volume 4 Issue 1 addresses a theme: Dynamic Synergy of Sustainable Future for Environment, Architecture, and Societies. For this issue, a selection of five titles has been made with thoughtful consideration. They are: Quantifying Fire Risks in Pontianak for Future Planning and Development; Assessing Thermal Comfort Parameters in Public School Buildings for Tropical Areas: A Study of Teacher’s Lounge of SDN 27 in North Pontianak; Blue Urbanism: An Insight of Navigating Climate Change in Humid Tropical Cities in Brunei Darussalam; Pedestrian Priorities: Unraveling Walkability Challenges in Shah Alam’s Neighborhoods; Privatization and Social Relations: Meanings of Women’s Land in the Modern Indigenous Society, Taiwan. The papers were submitted by authors from Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, dan Taiwan.
The first article investigates the quantification of fire risks in Pontianak, aiming to develop strategies for future planning and development. The research emphasizes the importance of proactive measures, such as equipping homes with fire extinguishers and enhancing accessibility, to mitigate risks and bolster urban resilience. The second article focuses on assessing thermal comfort parameters in public school buildings in North Pontianak. Through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation and observation, the study formulates indicators to improve thermal conditions, such as adding heat loads and optimizing ventilation. In the third article, the concept of “Blue Urbanism” is explored as a response to climate change challenges in humid tropical cities like Brunei Darussalam. The study proposes adaptive strategies, inspired by Brunei’s historical urban planning over water, to mitigate the impacts of rising sea levels and increased precipitation. The fourth article investigates walkability challenges in Shah Alam’s neighborhoods, particularly focusing on Persiaran Bestari. The findings highlight the importance of pedestrian-friendly infrastructure in fostering walkable neighborhoods and reducing reliance on vehicular transport. Lastly, the fifth article delves into the privatization of land ownership among the Truku people in Taiwan and its implications on gender relations. It examines the conflicting perspectives between traditional customs and modern legal frameworks, shedding light on the social dynamics and land reclamation movements within Truku society.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the authors for their unwavering dedication and scholarly contributions, which have enriched our understanding of these critical fields. As you peruse through these abstracts, we hope you will find inspiration and insight that propel further exploration and discourse. It is our aspiration that this compilation serves as a catalyst for new discoveries, innovative solutions, and collaborative endeavors in our shared quest for knowledge and understanding.
Thank you for joining us on this journey of discovery, and we look forward to the fruitful discussions and advancements that will undoubtedly ensue.
