Understanding of Environmental Architecture in The Development of Campus II of Darunnajah Al-Islamy Junior High School, Kepil, Wonosobo
Abstract
Kepil Wonosobo area is a region that has the potential for developing sustainable environmental architecture. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of environmental architecture principles in Kepil Wonosobo, identify the challenges faced, and provide recommendations for improving environmental architecture practices in the region. One of the projects in the Kepil area is the Development of Campus II of SMP Darunnajah Al-Islamy. Development projects need to prioritize aspects of environmental architecture so that development does not damage the environment. This study will reveal the understanding of environmental architecture of the actors in the development of Campus II of SMP Darunnajah Al-Islamy Kepil Wonosobo. The research method used is a survey of a combination of primary and secondary data. Primary data were obtained through direct observation and interviews with relevant stakeholders, while secondary data were obtained through literature studies and available information about environmental architecture projects in Kepil Wonosobo. The survey results show that awareness of environmental architecture in Kepil Wonosobo already exists, with the majority of respondents stating a good understanding of its principles. Several projects have implemented environmental architecture principles, such as the use of environmentally friendly materials, energy efficiency, water management, and attention to green open spaces. However, there are still challenges in implementation, including awareness and education that need to be improved as well as limited resources.
