THE "DISABLED" ARCHITECTURE OF THE DOME HOUSE TOURISM VILLAGE


Initially, the science of architecture only emphasizes the study of the building with the help of engineering science (Haryadi and Setiawan, 2010). But this time, the science of architecture has evolved by adopting a broad range of disciplines, such as social sciences, humanities, psychology, geography, and biology. Amos Rappoport (1969) states that the architecture is the space where human life, which is more than just physical, but also about the basic cultural institutions. These institutions include: governance set of social and cultural life of the community, which is accommodated and simultaneously influencing architecture. In other words, the science of architecture is not only emphasizes the structure of the building alone, but also pay attention to elements of nature and humanity will be living in it. This section will discuss the 'disability' or lack of home construction in New Ngelepen dome viewed from the aspect of health, psychological, cultural, and tourism. Dome house into a residential house for the residents of Kampung Ngelepen left homeless by the earthquake, built models and structures different from Java house in general. Dome house is a safe house to the threat of earthquakes and hurricanes, as well as fires. Spherical dome house, do not have a corner in the room, and there is no boundary between the room with the ceiling. It has a diameter of 7 m², divided into two bedrooms, one living room and one kitchen. Therefore, the rest of the high roof of the house, the dome house is then split into two floors where the upper floor serves as a ballroom. Strength building dome house are resistant to shock lies in the foundation system. System house foundation made circular dome, thus giving uniform strength across the side of the building. The foundation structure as it will follow the movement of the ground when there is an earthquake, so there is no opposite movement of the underground structures on it. Construction of the complex dome house in Sengir done with consideration of geographical aspects. Conditions dynamic plate in Sengir make the area prone to earthquakes, so the dome house considered suitable for residential house residents there. Dome house here can be seen as a building evacuation, which became a model for the citizens for the future to see live and feel the benefits of building a dome that, teach and provide understanding for the people of disaster-prone areas that the earthquake is no longer a problem, but a natural process which could happen at any time (http://regional.kompasiana.com/2013/08/25/rumah-dome-solusi-rumah-tahan-gempa-583897.html, accessed on July 10, 2015). 

In theory, if viewed from the aspect of health, design of dome house helpful to regulate the circulation of air in the room. The building structure is face down and made of thick concrete, makes a strong dome house and cool even though exposed to the sun. But in reality, residents complained the weather in the dome house is very hot, especially on the upper floors. Therefore, no one dome residents are willing to use the upper floor as a bed or doing other activities. Seeing the dome shape of the house and it's components, most likely poor air circulation in the room due to the lack of ventilation/air outlet in the dome. Coupled with a dome house division into two floors and furniture in the house, the air circulation inside the house is not going well and raises the temperature in the house increases.



The Healthy Building Construction of Dome

Problems dome house is not only visible from the health aspect, but also in other aspects. Dome house architecture seems less attention to the psychological and cultural aspects of the people. Dome house architecture tend to emphasize the geographical aspects, namely the condition of the Earth's plates are unstable and prone to earthquakes. From the psychological aspect, architecture dome house less attention to the human dimension (human agency). Lack of comfort habitable because of the size of the narrow room, poor air circulation in the house, and the poor quality of the buildings into citizen complaints dome. Haryadi and Setiawan (2010) states that the size of the space is too big or too small will affect the psychological and behavior of the wearer. Space dome house that is too narrow could not sustain the activity of residents and resulted in the addition of a building on a dome house. Building addition is intended to provide comfort to the residents themselves in habitable. By adding the building, residents can move more freely and comfortably in his house. The high temperature in the dome house due to poor air circulation also makes people uncomfortable to be in the house when the daytime. Leisure habitable increasingly disturbed due to the quality of house construction lower dome, which caused cracks in the walls of the house and make the water seeping into the house when the rainy season comes. From the aspect of culture, adopting the concept of dome house for the people of Indonesia is not easy because they are unfamiliar with the concept of circular houses. Moreover, in traditional societies, traditions and customs are still very strong in the process of establishing a building. The dome seems to be designed with the understanding that the house is a shelter (protected space), namely as a shelter and refuge from a variety of natural disturbances. According to Rapoport (1969), the shape and pattern of a house must also consider factors other than natural conditions, the culture, religion, and behavior. In the Java community, traditional house-shaped canopy, joglo, pyramid, as well as the village is not related to the natural conditions or the availability of local materials in the manufacture of home, but is a symbol of an order of a hierarchical-pyramidal (Haryadi and Setiawan, 2010). The house as a place to stay not only a physical object or a building, but also a symbol that has a specific meaning. It is as stated Winner (1979; Ronald, 2005) that "a building is not only an object but also a sign, that any edifice is simultaneously some sort of refuge and a certain kind of massage". Dwelling house of Java as an artificial environment in a physical sense, the natural environment in the form of the natural universe (macrocosm) or natural circumstances surrounding human life. Meanwhile, in the sense of non-physical, residences Java is a social environment in the form of human life world (microcosm). Java community thought that the relationship between humans and the natural environment in the vicinity based on the existence of (living) in the cosmos universe is seen as something that is organized and arranged hierarchically (Mulder, 1973; Ronald, 2005).

"......... Residence is the second human skin, the house as a shelter from the negative character of nature, and the house was also interpreted as a place for privacy for the residents. Further mentioned that the houses for the Java community is the most expressive in the container to accommodate all occupants of daily activities for family members." (Wisesa; Subiyantoro, 2009: 222).

The above statement indicates that the house not only serves as a shelter, but also as a space that embodies the daily activities of residents, whether it is private or public. Therefore, the house is divided into several spaces that are public and private. Java community at large home is equipped with a terrace. The patio is an open space that becomes a transitional space between public space and private space. The terrace is used as a gathering place and talking with neighbors or family. In fact, not uncommon for people to receive guests on the terrace of the house. Foreign guests who are considered respectable normally be accepted in the living room, while guests are welcome on the patio is usually the person who is not well known or even people who are very well known. The patio serves to establish a warm and intimate relationship between residents and outsiders. Terrace is an important space for the Javanese, however dome house is not equipped with a terrace. The absence of the terrace makes dome residents receive guests in his living room were small because they can not let her guests were outside the house just like that. The absence of a terrace eliminate "guest category", in the sense that there is no guests "unknown" or "known". Anyone who comes will be welcome guests into the house. Of course this will create awkwardness when guests come is an unknown person.
Viewed from the perspective of tourism, unique architectural details of the dome certainly is a distinct advantage. The uniqueness of the house that does not come from Indonesia is a valuable economic commodity and can be traded. In terms of tourism, is a right step to make the dome house as the main attraction at the Dome House Tourism Village. A tourist destination to attract tourists if there is anything that can be seen (something to see) at the venue, and the Dome House Tourism Village has succeeded in presenting it. Unique style of architecture is the reason why this tourist village can attract many tourists to the present. Post-entry of tourism complex dome house, of course, had an impact for the society. The opening of the Dome House Tourism Village, the people are expected to travel conscious and the venue should also always keep “Sapta Pesona” of tourism, consisting of: security, order, cleanliness, coolness, beauty, hospitality, and memories. One element that is hard to do citizen is beauty.

Sapta Pesona element of beauty in tourism aims to create a wonderful environment for the continuity of tourism activities that are able to offer a charming atmosphere and foster a deep impression for tourists, prompting the promotion and the potential re-visit. One form of action that can be done is to keep the citizens of the beauty of a tourist attraction, namely arranging shelter and regular and orderly environment. However it is difficult to be applied by the residents of the dome, which appears in the form of dome house that have been "unnatural" as its initial design. Currently most of dome house have been added are not the same building with the rounded dome design, so that tourists can not enjoy more unique house as before. Given the two conflict of interest in the Dome House Tourism Village, the individual interests and the interests of tourism, it should find a way out to mediate the clash. Since the beginning of the construction of dome housing complex, no one is anticipating any problems building additions, adding that residents currently building house according to his needs. As a tourist area, the complex houses the dome should keep the unique architecture. On the other hand, as residential houses, the dome should freshen occupants. If citizens do want to add a building, it would be nice if the addition is in accordance with the design of the main house, which is shaped dome. The problem now is the residents had already extended the building. If the residents are asked to dismantle the building, obviously they will be refused due to hit cost. This may be overcome if there are donors willing to fund for the demolition and redevelopment as the original form.
