In many Indonesian highland tourism areas, circulation systems evolve without comprehensive spatial integration, resulting in congestion, pedestrian–vehicle conflicts, safety risks, and diminished visitor experience. This study aims to identify, classify, and comparatively analyze visitor circulation patterns in three mountain tourism destinations in the Magelang region: Ketep Pass, Puncak Suroloyo, and Nepal Van Java. A qualitative descriptive-comparative approach was employed through a literature review, field observation, spatial mapping, and classification of circulation typologies. The analytical framework integrates architectural circulation theory and sustainable tourism principles. The findings reveal three distinct typologies: formal linear-structured circulation (Ketep Pass), topography-adaptive linear-natural circulation (Puncak Suroloyo), and community-integrated linear circulation (Nepal Van Java). The study demonstrates that circulation morphology is influenced by terrain gradient, infrastructure planning intensity, and socio-spatial integration. This research contributes a contextual circulation model for mountain tourism planning that emphasizes terrain responsiveness, pedestrian prioritization, and community participation to achieve sustainable spatial development.</p> Priyo Hadiyanto Taufiq Rizza Nuzuluddin Tri Susetyo Andadari Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Architecture and Urban Studies https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2026-05-19 2026-05-19 3 2 52 61 Analysis of Elevator Waiting Time Performance in Four-Star Hotel Buildings: A Comparative Study in Kupang City https://jurnalnew.unimus.ac.id/index.php/terrace/article/view/1103 <p>The increasing number of hotel visitors in Kupang has led to the development of several four-star hotels with multi-floor configurations that require effective elevator services. However, inadequate elevator performance can cause longer waiting times. This study aims to analyze the average waiting time of elevator users in three four-star hotels, namely Aston Kupang Hotel, Harper Kupang, and Sotis Hotel Kupang. The research applies a quantitative case study approach through field observations using video recording techniques at the elevator lobby area. Data collection was conducted during weekday and weekend periods across four different activity sessions to capture variations in user traffic. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods to determine the average waiting time for each hotel and then compared with the service performance criteria stated in SNI 03-6573-2001. The results show that the average waiting time in all observed hotels exceeds the recommended standard of 30–50 seconds. Aston Kupang Hotel recorded the longest average waiting time, followed by Sotis Hotel Kupang, while Harper Kupang demonstrated relatively better performance. These findings indicate that building characteristics such as the number of floors, elevator capacity, and number of elevator units significantly influence elevator service efficiency.</p> Grame Radja Taufiq Rizza Nuzuluddin Tri Susetyo Andadari Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Architecture and Urban Studies https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2026-07-28 2026-07-28 3 2 62 70
