CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
5.3 Future Research
The research presented in this thesis seems to have raised another question such us how to make this area become a ‘Livable City’ which will be delightful, desirable, attractive, worthwhile and safe for citizens.
Many aspects of urban design and new approaches to city form are based on the concept of livability. These approaches recognize that design and structure can be very influential in the life of a town or city and indeed to the building of community in and of itself.
The most important thing is Livable cities offer a high quality of life, and supports the health and wellbeing of the people who live and work in them. Livable cities are socially inclusive, affordable, accessible, healthy and safe. They also feature attractive built and natural environments. Besides, livable cities provide choice and opportunity for people to live their lives, and raise their families, to their fullest potential.
In the case of Peunayong, revitalization efforts presented in this thesis are the starting point towards creating a Livable city. The goal of livable city can be achieved by making the city as disaster resilient, eco-friendly, pedestrian-friendly, and through the development of a waterfront. All encapsulated into the name of Livable city. Therefore, the methodologies and concepts to achieve the livable city goal need to be investigated and found in future research.

The Love RiveR, KAohSiung TAiwAn
The Love River or Ai River is a river (canal) in southern Taiwan. It is of great cultural significance to the people of Kaohsiung and plays an important role in its economy and tourism. A riverside park, the Love River Park, runs along the riverbank in downtown Kaohsiung City. A night market oper-ates in the park, and there are three outdoor ca-fés, often with live bands. Boats which hold about fifteen people take tourists up and down the river.
The scenery is enhanced by attractive city struc-tures near the river, such as the holy Rosary Ca-thedral, Kaohsiung Bridge, and the Kaohsiung District Court. Cultural events such as concerts and the Lantern Festival are often held by the river.
2.3.3 Cultural & unique Retail Development Another revitalization strategy used by down-towns is the use of cultural activities and amenities. These can help strengthen the city’s image which attracts people to visit the downtown, and also help to support economic development. This can including building such facilities as museums, art galleries, concert halls and also the development of arts districts in the downtown. These types of cultural activi-ties can draw people to the downtown and also play a role in where people decide to work or live. They are also a draw to new businesses as the arts tend to draw a certain group of people to the downtown that may not otherwise visit.

in recent decades, the combina-tion of gentrificacombina-tion (residential expansion) and development of shopping malls as entertainment centers have given the CBD new life. Once can now find, in ad-dition to housing, mega-malls, theaters, museums, and stadi-ums. San Diego's horton Plaza is an example of redevelop-ing the downtown as an enter-tainment and shopping district
As cities grew and de-veloped, CBDs became fixed location where retail and commerce took place. The CBD is typically at or near the oldest part of the city and is often near a major transportation route that provided the site for the city's loca-tion, such as a river, railroad, or highway.

This research using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The steps in this research is to determine the location research, conducting field survey, collect data and find appro-priate data sources which research needs, determine the number of populations and sam-ples to be sought as respondents, outlining indicator variables with the indicator, prepar-ing instruments, further data collection through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation.
RESEARCH LOCATION &
POPULATION
- P e u n a y o n g a r e a , Kuta Alam subdistrict.
- Population : 50.684 people, with a ratio of 51.5 residents per hect-are, with the majority of work or approximately 43% of the civil ser-vice (including military / police) as well as private employees.
RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
In this research the instruments used to collect data are the form, inter-view, questionnaires and cameras.
DATA SOURCES
- primary data is a direct data sought by researchers include the area assess-ment, existing site condition, parking and transportation, accessibility, circu-lation, vegetation, function space and infrastructure space relations that have been built in the region by conduct observation through the camera and get the respondent in this case visitors and the people who perform activities in Peunayong area with unstructured interviews and distributed questionnaires.
- Secondary data are data that have made by others includes a map of the area, master plan of Peunayong area, Regional Spatial Plan/Master Plan on the Province Level and City/
District Level and government report about project in this area.
SAMPLE
Adequate sample sizes in this study were between 30 up to 500 (Sugiono 2009:90, the Rosce, Research Methods For Business (1982:253). In this study to determine the sample size of the population using Slovin Methods with reference to Principles and Methods of Research; Ariola et al. (Eds.), 2006) as follows.
n = N/(1 + Ne^2)
n = Number of samples N = Total population
e = Error tolerance (the error tolerance; significance level: for social and educational typically 0.05/0.1) -> (^ 2 = squared)
Further stages is analyze the data that have been collected. The last stage is the conclusion and suggestions.

5. Historical Preservation
6. Biking & Jogging Track
7. Culinary Center
8. Tree Plantation
The construction of the Peu-nayong Rex culinary center is expected that the people of Banda Aceh’s economy will be-come more sophisticated than ever before and making the city society more prosperous.
This place can also be used as a multi-function place, namely as escape building which can protect people from the floods and the tsunami disaster.
Pedestrian is a core indicator for the progress of civilization and the future development of the city.
based on the observations in the field, pedestrian built by the gov-ernment have not reached all the region hence it caused lim-ited access in the area. Therefore, it required the additional pedes-trian pathways throughout the region in order to facilitate pe-destrian access to the entire area.
For the ease of pedestri-ans accessing the entire area, there is a necessity to have a facility to cross such roads.
Skywalk design is very new to Banda Aceh city. How-ever this concept is believed to improve the quality of life of Banda Aceh citizens.

In order to address the traffic is-sues, it is required to set up the parking regulation to calming the traffic. There are 3 proposed ideas/concept listed below:
a.Providing particular park-ing buildpark-ing (multy-sto-rey car park) in the area which could accommodate the parking requirement.
b.Close-off street (Kartini road) from 6-12 pm every day.
c On-street parking space: Directing the parking space to T. Daudsyah road which have enough space as parking area
In light of the city’s aspiration to make Banda Aceh a popu-lar tourism destination it will be important to encourage house owners to rehabilitate existing heritage houses rIt has sees an urgent need to support herit-age initiatives, and to formal-ize the preservation of herit-age buildings in Peunayong and Banda Aceh as a whole.
The citizen of Banda Aceh city has an interest to do biking/jog-ging exercises. But unfortunately there is no specific pathway for cycling and jogging hence it is re-quire to design new biking/jog-ging track in this area. Looking at the waterfront potential, the ri verbank can be used for the track.
Acehnese people have interest to culinary tourism so it is neces-sary to provide multiple points of culinary tourism in this area.
The riverbank is considered very appropriate for the placement of such culinary cafe and res-taurant. This area is used as a recreation area and provides ac-cess for people to enjoy the river scenery and use the facilities pro-vided. And it is expected to at-tract local and foreign tourists.
The importance of green spaces in a city is almost universally recog-nized. Banda Aceh city especially Peunayong area has start the green effort which implemented by government (Department of Sanitation and Park). This de-partment has provided plants and trees that planted along the streets in front of the shops.
Based on field observation, it is necessary to improve green effort in this area such us providing huge number of plants and trees to be planted in all blocks and street
