This study will mainly use questionnaires to measure the effectiveness of this learning system. Besides it is also suggested to evaluate the student's task/assignment/content and tutor's assessment.
Questionnaires should be designed from the general questions to the more specific questions, such as:
1. Background knowledge of participating student
It can be related to the computer skills such as experiences of using CAD models
(autocad, archicad, sketchup,3dmax, etc) and google earth/google 3Dwarehouse.
2. Collaborative design
How this virtual city can support collaboration among students.
3. Getting Feedback
Related to how the students can get feedback during the process of learning.
4. 3D visualization
Related to visualization of 3Dbuilding models.
5. Historical Collective Memory
Related to visualization of history in terms of collective memory which available
inside the virtual city.
6. Spesific Design Tasks has been asked by the tutor
In relation to collaborative design, it should be prepared if students want to upload their 3Dmodels into the platform, either during the process of design or after it finished (when the tasks are submitted).
Add in the questionnaires a form for suggestion such as for developing Virtual Malioboro further ....(2nd version)

9th October's Supervisory Meeting
The discussion were about:
1. The alternative ways for embedding the collective memory into the 3Dmodels rather than depends all on the geo-reference models accepted by Google Earth.
So far it has been tried to embed the collective memory/information into the models (through placemark command) which should be easily accessed by students (users) although they are not online. This can be done by sending the models (which consists information) to the users through their email, so when users click the models it will appear in their Google Earth in their own computer.
Another alternative which should be tried is by linking the models into a certain website which consist information for the models. In this case users should be online.
2. Time schedule is another critical discussion since it relates to the time when the pilot study have to be ready to be applied for Architecture and Urban Design Course in Spring Semester 2010. The course will run from February - May 2010. Usually the assignment is submitted during the final exam.
3. In order to prepare the 1st experiment, some notes are given to the scale of the pilot study
- The pilot study will cover buildings from Jalan Wongsodirjan - Jalan Perwakilan (Both sides of Malioboro) --> see the maps below:
- Questioners should be prepared and designed in order to measure the effectiveness of this learning system.
- Contact with colleagues should be made in detailed to design the assignment which includes Malioboro as a study site, decide how many students will involve, etc.

Example of the Urban Architecture Design Course's Assignment
The course is designed for students in the 3rd year (semester 6) where in this semester they have already gained a considerable amount of urban experiences through courses taken in their previous education and training such as ‘Urban History’ course and ‘Urban Settlement and Area Design’ course.
An overall aim of the ‘Urban Architecture Design’ course is to facilitate learning process through which students have an understanding about the importance of urban spaces for their inhabitant either as a place for social gathering, culture actualization or recreational/leisure facilities. From that students have abilities to propose design of urban space based on the analysis of urban form quality and the design concepts of urban space.
The task is designed for a group task consists of 4-5 students. Students can choose urban spaces they will work on which could either be public open space, street space or combination between public open space and street space. For the task, students are asked to submit a re-designed and revitalized proposal or hand in for a new designed proposal. The urban space they will work with should consider:
- Its roles both by forms and functions.
- Design quality principles in a responsive environment such as permeability, variety, legibility, robustness, richness, visual appropriateness, and personalisation (depends on the importance priority).
- Should be fitted with townscape design concept such as application of serial vision (fit with theme or spatial experiences offered, urban forms and buildings skyline, façades, scale and proportion in urban spaces, and visual continuity).
- Building codes and regulations.
- Context and possibly innovative design creativity.
In the task, students can add new elements to propose urban space arrangement for example by adding open spaces, connected streets, public arts or other physical elements as long as it can be used to assert the concepts.
Supporting elements such as LIGHTING (natural and artificial) can support for visual richness because of viewing time differences, VIEWING DISTANCE (in relation to hierarchy of scale and viewing distance), and VIEWING TIME (related to the complexity of details), KINETIC ART (sequence of arts which can be enjoyed by movements)
Proposed design concepts are based on the analysis of findings, which should be based on theories for analysing urban spaces such as:
- Theory of city image, interrelatedness among urban image elements (Lynch, K., 1960)
- Theory about elements for shaping and supporting urban districts (Shirvani, H., 1985)
- Theory about how understanding urban space through spatial experiences (Curran, R.J., 1983)
- Theory of responsive environment (Bentley, I., et.al., 1985)
- Theory of urban spatial design (Trancik, R., 1987)
- Theory of townscape design (Cullen, G., 1971)
- Theory of urban space (Krier, R., 1982; Moughtin, C., 1992; Madanipour, A., 1995; Llewelyn-Davies, 2000)
- Other theories, which are thought will be useful for design proposal.
SITES OF URBAN SPACE
Urban space sites can be picked among:
1. Part of ‘Tugu’ rail station district and the surrounding area (consists of 200 meter of Mangkubumi Street – ‘Inna Garuda’ Hotel junction – 200 meter of Malioboro Street) including the arrangement of building around, ‘Tugu’ rail station as a focus.
2. Sudirman Street (from Gramedia intersection to ‘Tugu’ White Statue intersection)
3. ‘Tugu’ White Statue (100 meter to the North-South-East-West) including arragement of building around.
4. North Outer Ringroad from Condongcatur intersection to Casa Grande Housing Complex (to be designed for a Ringroadscape)
5. Historical part of ‘Taman Sari’ Watercastle and the area surrounding (to be designed for historical trail).
6. Part of ‘Colombo’ Street (from the gas station intersection to ‘Mirota Campus’ Supermarket junction) including arrangement of building around.
7. Part of North Public Square including the building around (from the Post Office intersection to the Palace)
8. Part of ‘Adi Sucipto’ street (from the ‘Janti’ junction to the ‘Islamic State University’ junction.
FINAL PRODUCT: to propose design of urban space
ASSESSMENT: based on the progress being made during the process of task, final product, and individual/group presentation. Presentation should include:
- Short description of design object, identification of potency-problems from the study case
- Analysis (based on the theory)

Problems with Malioboro Models in GE Platform
There were 28 models of buildings uploaded to Google Earth Platform. But only some of them became georeference models which means you can see them directly in Google Earth when you open the application. For some others, you will need to download from the 3DWarehouse website before it can be displayed in your Google Earth. Google Earth gave some feedback for the models. You can see feedback as below:
Feedback from students
5 students were asked to give feedback for Malioboro models in Google Earth.
The initial discussion were involved some questions such as:
1. Is there any added values do you think you will get when you use 3DMalioboro models in GE for doing your assignments ?
2. How do you think the models and their data will benefit for you compare with those you'll get from field survey ?
3. How do you think the image/photos embedded into the 3D models will benefit for you ?
4. Is there any difficulties you experience when downloaded the models ?
5. What do you think the models should be developed in order to fulfill your need in architectural-urban learning ?
And here are feedback from them:
- With the 3D models, they think they will know the existing condition of Malioboro better. And it is very useful when they are asked to propose for re-design the area/district like in the assignments.
- 3Dmodels of Malioboro are really good for tourism as they will know more about Malioboro and its unique architecture especially for the old buildings.
- The models will complement the data they'll get from the survey because not all information can they get or a little bit difficult to get from the field survey like site dimensions, condition around the building sites, skyline, or aerial view.
- It is more comfortable for doing analysis for the site with 3Dmodels of Malioboro embedded with information such as history, data of building around, etc, available.
--> the analysis and design ideas will be more enriched, context with time, place, culture, etc.
- Images/photos will help them to memorize their childhood in related to Malioboro's spaces. They think it will gives them some ideas for their proposed design.
- The students didn't have any difficulties in downloading the 3dmodel. Even to open and to edit the models to adjust with their needs.
