RELOCATION OF REMBANG PEOPLE'S MARKET WITH A GREEN ARCHITECTURE APPROACH IN REMBANG DISTRICT

Abstract

Rembang is one of the regencies located in Central Java province. More precisely, it is located on the north side of Java Island, adjacent to East Java province. The area of ​​Rembang Regency is 1036 km2 with most of the area being lowlands. Rembang Regency is divided into 14 sub-districts, 287 villages, and 7 urban villages. With the large number of residents divided into these areas, a market is needed to mediate the economic needs of the community. Rembang city market is located in Sumberjo Village, Rembang District, Rembang Regency. The design of the market reflects the traditional Central Javanese house, namely Joglo. This can be seen from the Joglo roof of the building. Although it displays regional diversity, the Rembang city market has not fully highlighted its design identity and spatial layout other than the Joglo roof. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out the relocation of the Rembang city market as well as a new building to further highlight diversity and spark people's purchasing power by increasing people's interest in the market. Green architecture has another term, namely ecological architecture or environmentally friendly architecture. This definition emphasizes development that refers to environmental conservation with the aim of producing energy-efficient and environmentally friendly buildings. In its construction, the building utilizes environmentally friendly materials and recycled materials that do not damage the surrounding environment. The positive impact obtained from the green architecture concept is the use of energy to be more efficient. In addition, green architecture is designed to be able to adapt to the environment. In addition, green architecture is identical to the use of light and solar energy, the use of openings such as windows to maximize natural air. Therefore, the relocation of the Rembang city market with a green architecture approach can increase public interest. In addition, a clean, organized, and comfortable market can make the Rembang city market competitive with modern markets.
