Pedestrian, abc & (dis)Comforts [issue #02]
[scroll down for English version]
[Bahasa Indonesia]
Latar Belakang Jalan kaki. Entah kenapa ada sebuah pertanyaan (di kepala penulis), kenapa masyarakat Jakarta malah berjalan kaki, padahal ada yang namanya trotoar. Jawabannya bisa bermacam-macam. Karena panas (memang Jakarta panas), karena debu bus kota yang membabi buta, karena tidak nyaman dengan kondisi pedestrian yang tidak terawat, atau karena sekedar gengsi jika harus berjalan kaki di kota Jakarta yang fasilitas transportasinya telah lengkap (meski tidak juga terbebas dari kemungkinan-kemungkinan diatas). Namun ternyata setelah kita coba sedikit lihat lebih jauh, kemungkinan itu tidak hanya sebatas itu. Sering kita melihat di televisi atau film-film (barat), betapa tenangnya seorang aktris berjalan sendiri di tengah kota, sendiri, bahkan sudah agak malam. Ternyata memang, kondisi pedestrian di kota tercinta yang bernama Jakarta ini cukup kronis. Seorang pejalan kaki seolah tidak diberi ruang untuk berjalan, bahkan tanpa menggunakan predikat ‘nyaman’. Memang perlu diakui juga tidaklahsemua jalur pedestrian di Jakarta ini sudah diperkosa habis semua oleh para penjahat-penjahat jalanan, dan sudah ada sedikit upaya dari pihak yang memang berwenang untuk menangani permalahan tersebut.
Tujuan dari projek ini menjadi sebuah pertanyaan, apakah masih perlu adanya jalur pedestrian. Atau sekalipun kita masih berjalan di jalur pedestrian yang memang ada, apakah itu memang untuk pejalan kaki, atau memang bukan untuk pejalan kaki saja.

Background Walking. There is a big question in the head of filmaker, why Jakarta society is quite lazy to walk, whereas there is a pedestrian path. The answer could be variable. Because of hot (indeed, Jakarta is very hot), or dust from the city bus which like a machine gun, or there is gangster that ready to rob with their weapons, or because of not convenient with the condition, or even prestige to ride a vehicle. Apparently after we try to look further, the possibility is not only those reasons. We often watch on the television or wester film, how all the pedestrian is very convenient to walk alone in the middle of the city even in the midnight. In fact the conditon of pedestrian path in Jakarta is very chronic. A pedestrian is not given a space to walk, even without “comfort” term. We can admit that not all of the pedestrian path in Jakarta have been ripped by the street felon, but there is also some effort from the municipality to solve these problems.
The purpose of this project is as a question if Jakarta still needs a pedestrian path. Or eventhough we still walk in that pedestrian path, is it only for pedestrian or is it also for other users?

Coloring the Gloominess of Jakarta Concrete (reducing stress in the middle of Jakarta traffic) [issue #01]
[scroll down for English version]
[Bahasa Indonesia]
Latar Belakang Isu ini ingin mengangkat permasalahan urban Jakarta yang paling jelas terlihat, yaitu masalah kemacetan jalan raya. Apa yang dirasakan para pengendara ketika mengalami macet? Apakah mereka merasa suntuk atau bahkan stres ketika menunggu dalam kemacetan? Kalau kebanyakan pengendara mengalami hal-hal itu, kita mencoba mencari tahu apa yang dapat menjadi penyebab keadaan suntuk atau stres tersebut. Penyebab-penyebab tersebut coba dihubungkan dengan psikologi arsitektur, seperti efek warna dalam ruang publik terhadap psikologis manusia. Apakah warna-warna dalam ruang publik tersebut dapat mempengaruhi psikologis manusia? Apakah warna-warna suram yang terdapat di bypass, flyover, maupun underpass dapat membuat pengaruh terhadap psikologis orang-orang yang sedang mengalami kemacetan menjadi lebih stress ataupun mempengaruhi emosi manusia?
Tujuan dari projek ini adalah untuk mengangkat fenomena kemacetan yang terjadi di urban Jakarta dan bagaimana pengaruhnya terhadap psikologis orang yang sedang mengalaminya.

Background The issue wants to raise the problem of urban Jakarta which we can see clearly, traffic jam. What do the drivers feel when they trap in the traffic? Are they feel bored, weary, tired or even stress when they wait in the busy traffic line? If most of the driver suffer with those kind of feelings, we try to find what caused it. The reasons try to be related with the architecture psychology, for instance the colour effect in the public space towards the human psychology. Are those colours in the public space can affect towards the human psychology? Is the gloomy concrete on the wall of flyover and underpass can make an influence to the psychology of people who trap in the traffic more stress or affect human emotion?
The purpose is to raise the phenomenon of traffic happened in urban Jakarta and how the effects towards psychology of human who trap in it.
