Perancangan Pusat Pengunjung Ngeteh Dengan Pendekatan Arsitektur Ekologis Di Desa Nglinggo, Kulon Progo

Abstract

Nglinggo Village is the only local tea producer village in Yogyakarta. The Village is also a tour- ism village. But unfortunately, amid the increasing demand tea in the world, the tea industry in Indonesia was weakened. This has an impact in Nglinggo Village where tea cultivation land has been reduced. This is very unfortunate, because although tea in Yogyakarta does not have a lot of production, tea has been absorbed into a tradition in the Kraton and in the community so that its existence must still be maintained. In Nglinggo Village, people start to develop local tea production. Unfortunately, there is no supporting facility that can promote local tea to the wider community. In fact, considering the potential of the village which has the potential for recreational and educational tourism. This Visitor Centre with eco-architectural approach is designed to maintain the tea community in Nglinggo with still maintaining their connection with environment ecosystem. The design provides facilities for tourism to get know more about the tea and also facilities for tea producing community to stimulate social interaction between the community and with people from outside. So that it can trigger the development of Nglinggo local tea in terms of knowledge, interests, and culture. This is expected to create more sustainable environment and community.
