| Summary: | The development and urbanization in almost every major city in the world have
negative impact to the environtment by increasing hardscape/paved area which
leads to decreasing absorption area and eventualy might cause flooding. Despite
being located at ±768 AMSL and having a relatively high precipitation, The City of
Bandung is facing challenges of potable water supply and prone to flooding. It is
caused mainly by two reasons; (1) the disability of Bandung public water company
(PDAM) to provide clean water for every household in Bandung, leads to
groundwater over extraction, and (2) decreasing of absorption area due to
increased paved area caused by development. Conventionally, urban stromwater
has been managed using an open-ended approach where water is used only once
and then disposed off. Naturally, a closed-loop system is used which based upon
microrecycling of water as the foundation of the hydrological cycle. Watersensitive
approach tries to mitigate stormwater management in a built environment
as close as possible to natural principles of water cycle. This thesis will study and
formulasied the principles of water-sensitive housing based upon current developed
water-sensitive design concept and pinciples. The aim of this thesis is to
demonstrate that a water-sensitive apartment design could be a part of the solution
to the water issue in urban area. The two main strategies in this thesis are (1)
stormwater management employing sustainable approach such as bio-swales, bioretention
basin, and wetland, and (2) on-site domestic wastewater treatment to
optimize on-site water management. Those strategies are integrated into
architectural design and site planning as well as a part of educational aspect for
resident and the public pertaining to water-sensitive design and urban water issues
in general. |
