PLANNING AN AMUSEMENT CENTER IN KENDARI CITY: A GREEN ARCHITECTURE APPROACH

Abstrak

Kendari City, both administratively and practically, serves as the hub for multisectional activities in Southeast Sulawesi. According to data from the BPS trend compared to the national growth rate, specifically 6.42% compared to 5.02% over the last 5 years. The emerging trend in informal sectors, particularly in trade and entertainment sub-sectors in Kendari City, indicates a high demand from the local community for entertainment and recreational activities. Amusement Centers, serving as hubs for entertainment and recreation services, act as a mode of expression and renewal from work fatigue and the complexities of urban life dynamics. The scale and impact of the existence of Amusement Centers in the urban community come with privileges as a role model for sustainable development, incorporating high-performance and energy-efficient characteristics of green architecture. This responds to the demand for net-zero development and the urban community's bio-philic tendencies, reflected in the emphasis on building forms, appearances, and conditioning, as well as the return of green site value coefficients.
