Designing for Behavior: Architectural Approaches to Market Revitalization in Binjai

Abstract

The cleanup of regular markets requires a strategy that looks both at practical aesthetic and functional aspects, as user behavior. This paper give insights on how behavior-based architectural perspective could be utilized in designing markets for improved user experience and operational efficiency. The user behavior analysis technique was instrumental in explaining how users interact within the market environment and their needs using case study methods. The results of the analysis fed into the design of solutions which answer behavior patterns. Results show that incorporating behavioral psychology aspects in constructing markets not only enhances the comfort and efficiency of built environment but also add value, appeal and sustainability to an urban market. It provides a base for further understanding the application of behavior-based architectural guidelines in market revitalization during design process investigation which would be useful to researchers and designers who wish to create more humane adaptive environment.
