This study aims to identify the factors causing environmental disasters in the Karimunjawa Islands, formulate ecological architectural design criteria for resort buildings, evaluate the fulfillment of these criteria in existing resort buildings, and develop strategies for applying ecological architecture to achieve a resilient environment. The research methodology combines qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative methods include in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation studies, while quantitative methods involve questionnaire surveys and secondary data analysis. The research findings indicate that the factors threatening the environment in the Karimunjawa Islands include cut and fill processes causing erosion, construction not aligned with topography, suboptimal building design in terms of orientation and ventilation, and the use of non-eco-friendly materials. The identified ecological architectural design criteria include the use of eco-friendly materials, building designs that fit natural conditions, implementation of cross-ventilation and natural lighting, and energy efficiency through the use of renewable technologies. Evaluation of four resorts in Karimunjawa reveals that the application of ecological architecture is still suboptimal. Main issues include improper building orientation, non-ideal building proportions, lack of cross-ventilation, and the use of non-eco-friendly materials. Based on these findings, strategies for implementing ecological architecture are proposed, including design adjustments, use of eco-friendly materials, energy efficiency enhancements through solar panels, better water management, and the application of air purification technology and sound absorption materials. This research contributes theoretically to the development of ecological architecture in island environments and practically provides guidelines for the implementation of ecological architectural principles in Karimunjawa resorts. It is hoped that the research results can serve as a reference for resort managers and urban planners in developing more sustainable and resilient environments against environmental disasters.
