Lumban Suhi-suhi tourist village, located at Pangururan sub-district in Samosir Island, is famous for its handcrafted ulos. However, inadequate tourism facilities regulation has made the area less attractive. Therefore, the concept of environment-based arrangement is proposed to be applied in the village to improve its facilities. The qualitative approach was carried out through observation and interviews. Triangulation method was carried out in analysing the collected data with relevant theories. The concept is eligible to increase visitors as well as to maintain environmental sustainability.Keywords: Tourism Village; Site Arrangement; Sustainable Tourism; Lumban Suhi-suhieISSN: 2398-4295 © 2019.

Literature revealed art has been used as a tool to escalate the city image by improving visual quality. This paper present of identifying the role of art in raising city image in the context of youth perception. The paper engages a case study in Kampung Pelangi, Semarang city. Likewise to response to the rapid change of urban city, Semarang city was attempted to paint the slum area becomes more colorful and attractive. Thus, potentially brought an impact to the overall visual quality in the city. The online questionnaire was used and collected 78 respondens. The study employs a combination of statistics and descriptive analysis. The variety of statistical analysis performed to examined the significant correlation. The multiple linear regression analysis showed the significant variable on a longer period of stay whereas lack of evidence for other related variables. Moreover, the correlation analysis was used to examined the hypothesis in chi-square test. The result obtained significant correlation was showed art element in Kampung Pelangi potential to escalate image in a district scale although lack of evidence to indicate that art in Kampung Pelangi could contributes to raising the image of Semarang city. Additionally, the study allows to generated conceptual matrix on the relationship of public art (publicity) and city image (imageability) towards spatial sustainability.

Results demonstrated three significant differences between danchi and apartment residents, namely park preference, length of visit, and park elements. There were seven factors of park preferences. These results may help urban planners optimise existing features of neighbourhood parks to encourage use.Keywords: landscape preference; neighbourhood park; urban green space; green space management experience; exposure towards green spaceeISSN 2398-4295 © 2019.
