The role of site development in sustainable city (Case study: Site of the noble house in Mega Kuningan, Jakarta)

Abstract

The availability of open space has become increasingly limited. It is important to see how urban area is developed towards sustainability. At present, the completeness of infrastructure, urban networks, transportation, utilities, public and social facilities have been often developed to meet mostly commercial aspects related to human need without environmental consideration. This research aims to recognize the condition of site development in one case of office building in Jakarta through quality measurement using green building criteria. The green area of the site is the main aspect which become prerequisite for assessing the appropriate site development. In addition, site selection, community accessibility, and public transportation are also included as criteria for this study. The steps of this research can be generally implemented in many new building cases.
