Abstrak
Along with population growth and increasing educational needs, libraries have a strategic role in improving the quality of human resources. However, the distribution of libraries in Indonesia is still uneven, especially in the eastern region such as North Buton Regency. The district has 262 schools, but most do not have adequate libraries, and there are no public libraries available as community literacy centers. This research aims to design public libraries in North Buton Regency with a green architecture approach to create environmentally friendly and sustainable buildings. Research methods include literature studies, analysis of user needs, and green design principles that include energy efficiency, the use of environmentally friendly materials, and water and waste management. The results of the study show that the application of green architecture in public libraries not only provides comfort for users, but also reduces environmental impact and improves energy efficiency. With this library, it is hoped that public access to literacy will increase and support the development of education in North Buton Regency.
