The use of special lighting for recreational such as dancing fountain is not considered to be
harmful, since it is not always turned on unlike other lighting which is always turned on. Another
lighting application that is considered to be harmful is the use of floodlighting directed at the river
and trees in the nature area. The lamp that is used is high pressure sodium, which has yellow light
spectrum, but the direct illumination is considered to be harmful for the ecosystem.
4 CONCLUSION
In this research it was found that the lighting design at Teras Cikapundung Park as a whole cannot be
said to be appropriate for nature conservation. Lighting is only intended for the safety and comfort
of visitors by prioritizing aspects of recreation and economic value, but in the long run these aspects
can be disrupted by disruption of the ecosystem in this park. The need for humans to perceive and
have activities should be balanced with the conservation of nature, especially at a park that has a
close relation to nature and has a conservatory function. Inappropriate use of lighting distribution,
spectrum, or choice of lamp, and lack of shielding will become harmful for the park’s ecosystem.
The form of research by prioritizing the balance between ecosystems and humans is a form
of research that is flared discussed in developed countries. The development of technology and
applications in lighting is then questioned in relation to the environment. The strength of this
research is that it can provide practical solutions for lighting at Teras Cikapundung Park, but it still
has shortcomings due to the need for complete quantitative data in terms of lamp spectrum, and
more in-depth lighting simulations, as well as relationships with other researchers, especially from
the environmental field to provide more optimal result. Recommendations for further research can
be in the form of solution to provide smart lighting system or lighting distribution control system
which can be adjusted to the occupant of Taman Teras Cikapundung and its environment, thus
creating a balance between recreation, finance, and the environment.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We would like to thank those who helped carry out this research. Our gratitude is addressed to
Telkom University lecturers who helped develop and become a source of inspiration in this research.
We also express our gratitude to the Bandung’s City Government and Dinas Pekerjaan Umum who
have worked hard to realize, develop, and manage the Taman Teras Cikapundung. We would also
like to thank the community and parties who have managed to create a Cikapundung terrace garden;
without good management this park would not have become our source of inspiration.
