Perancangan Paciran Marine Research Center dengan Pendekatan Arsitektur Berkelanjutan

Kecamatan Paciran di Kabupaten Lamongan memiliki potensi strategis karena terletak di pesisir utara Jawa dengan sumber daya kelautan yang melimpah, namun menghadapi permasalahan lingkungan seperti pencemaran pesisir, abrasi pantai, dan degradasi ekosistem akibat aktivitas industri. Kondisi ini menunjukkan perlunya fasilitas penelitian yang tidak hanya mendukung kegiatan ilmiah, tetapi juga berperan dalam pemulihan dan pengelolaan lingkungan pesisir secara berkelanjutan. Perancangan Marine Research Center di Paciran ini bertujuan untuk mewujudkan pusat penelitian, edukasi, dan konservasi kelautan yang menerapkan prinsip arsitektur berkelanjutan. Penerapan desain berkelanjutan difokuskan pada efisiensi energi, kenyamanan termal, pemanfaatan material ramah lingkungan, serta pengelolaan air dan limbah yang sesuai dengan karakter iklim tropis pesisir. Pendekatan perancangan dilakukan secara kualitatif-deskriptif melalui studi literatur, analisis tapak, serta kajian preseden bangunan penelitian kelautan berkelanjutan. Perancangan diharapkan menghasilkan konsep desain bangunan penelitian yang adaptif terhadap kondisi lingkungan pesisir, efisien dalam penggunaan energi, serta mampu mendukung aktivitas riset dan edukasi publik. Selain itu, fasilitas ini diharapkan dapat menjadi model penerapan arsitektur berkelanjutan di kawasan pesisir Indonesia dan memberikan kontribusi nyata bagi pemerintah, masyarakat, dan dunia akademik dalam mendukung pembangunan berwawasan lingkungan serta keberlanjutan ekosistem laut.

Paciran district in Lamongan holds strategic potential due to its location on the north coast of Java and its abundant marine resources; however, it faces environmental challenges such as coastal pollution, coastal abrasion, and ecosystem degradation resulting from industrial activities. These conditions highlight the needfor a research facility that not only supports scientific activities but also plays a role in the sustainable restoration and management ofthe coastal environment. The design ofMarine Research Center at Paciran aimed to create a hub for marine research, education, and conservation that incorporates sustainable architectural principles. The application ofsustainable design focuses on energy efficiency, thermal comfort, the use ofeco-friendly materials, and water and waste management tailored to the tropical coastal climate. A qualitative• descriptive design approach was employed, involving literature reviews, site analysis, and case studies of existing sustainable marine research facilities. The design process aimed to produce a research facility concept that is adaptive to coastal environmental conditions, energy-efficient, and capable of supporting research activities and public education. Furthermore, thefacility was expected to serve as a model for sustainable architecture in Indonesia's coastal regions and make a tangible contribution to the government, the community, and the academic world in supporting environmentally conscious development and marine ecosystem sustainability.
