| Summary: | Riverside settlements in Banjawin that were initially based on their river culture and nature are currently
experiencing degradation of life quality and nature. This is caused by £kt%, floods, and a high risk of urban heat
island. In terms of spatial configuration there are no interrelation and internon between regional mhitedure
( '
) and infhstructure, which are based on land and water. Problems ommbg in those areas are density, less
interconnectivity, poor accessibility, and very low intelligibility. In addition, the areas' thermal comfort is very
low - poor wind circulation, high humidity, and uncomfortable temperatures. In the study the reseamher
conducted an experiment based on permeability approach to solve the challenges and problems related to spatial
and thermal comfort by using a spatial analysis method, space syntax, and a thermal comfort analysis method,
Envimet. This study compared the existing condition with a model architecture of a city block kampung
settlement, which was based on local vernacular architecture of Banjarmasin river banks. The research
concluded that the intelligibility performance of spatial permeability approach could be improved This approach
resulted in a symbiosis between spatial configuration of land and water and the regional architecture. However,
in terms of thermal comfort no significant improvement of performance occurred because the morphology of the
area was relatively flat and the proportion of the average height of buildings was low. Consequently, wind path
as ventilation was not formed and area thermal comfort was not created.
