Strengthening the Definition of Green Architecture in Indonesia

One school of architecture that can maintain ecological integrity is green architecture. Placing a focus on environmental friendliness has made green architecture widely adopted in planning and designing the built environment in Indonesia. However, on the other hand, development that occurs in Indonesia tends to pay less attention to the environmental situation and future impacts. As a result, many problems that arise in life originate from the environment, such as natural disasters, waste of energy, and discomfort in housing due to low levels of spatial ergonomics. The aim of this research is to strengthen the definition of green architecture in Indonesia from various built environment projects that have been built in this country. This research uses a qualitative content analysis method with an inductive approach (inductive qualitative content analysis). Secondary data taken in this research was 38 (thirty eight) cases of green architecture throughout Indonesia to be used as an observation unit. The collection of secondary data was carried out using the literature study method. This research reveals that green architecture in Indonesia is a development concept to increase the value and function of land and buildings through sustainable actions to reduce the risk of natural disasters which can change human behavior in reducing the production of emissions and waste which is centered on the principles of saving energy, utilizing climate conditions. , the reaction responds to the building footprint, taking into account the user, pressing the use of new resources that are planned and designed holistically.
