Perancangan Pelabuhan Rekreasi Pedalaman Banjir Kanal Timur Semarang Dengan Pendekatan Biophilic Design

Abstract

Banjir Kanal Timur is one of the second largest canals in Semarang City which acts as a flood controller. Downstream which is not far from the Tanjung Mas port and upstream which is located in the center of Semarang City and the canal route that passes through several tourist destinations in Semarang makes the Banjir Kanal Timur a

potential water transportation route that connects the city center, several tourist destinations, and the main port, namely Tanjung Mas. To accommodate this plan, an Inland port is needed which can also act as a tourist destination. Meanwhile, lately the

issue of mental health has become more attention to the public. Quality of life does

not only come from a healthy body, a healthy state of mind and mentality also greatly

influences the quality of a human being doing all his activities. The most common

mental problem is depression caused by work-related stress. While architecture can

help people to reduce the burden of stress. With a biophilic architectural approach

that has an effect on human psychology, one of which is stress relief. Therefore,

with a design of recreational inland port with a biophilic architectural approach, it is

hoped that it can help solve this problem.
