Abstract

Activities in the mosque, especially prayer, require tranquility in order for the prayer to be performed perfectly. Therefore a mosque site, together with its elements, must be able to create such tranquility by lowering and reducing unwanted noises. The first year’s result shows that the distance of buildings to the source of noise is the most significant factor in reducing noises. This is not a problem on a large mosque site, but this is for the small site, which has closer distance to source of noises.. So that it is necessary to refine site elements that can reduce noise as the findings of former research. This research aims to apply the former research finding concept in mosque site design.. The study begins with the determination of a selected sample of models based on different sources of noise in site (traffic noises and other source of noise from the train). Further analysis of noise reduction process is done manually (with SLM) and digital (with Surface Mapping System). From this analysis it can be seen the effectiveness of the reduction elements of the site.The elements that are less effective to reduce noises is refined by applying the concept of reduction, the finding of former research. In applying the concept into a site elements design supported by references that are the functional aspect of site elements (in order to noise reduction) and aesthetics aspect to maximize noise reduction and strengthening the character of the mosque site Based on the analysis of samples of the mosque site model can be concluded that in reducing noise, barrier is the most effective solution in small mosque site (sources of noise closer to the building). Refining the barrier can be done by: 1) combination of insulation barriers like walls with vines, and walls with shrubs that have reduction ability, 2) barrier-layered, with varying material to strengthen the noise absorption In small mosque site commomly the outdoor used for circulation with the pavement, so as to accommodate these functions as well as increase the ability of noise absorption of the surface, the grass block model is used. Reduction of noise in small sites can also be done by making a difference in land elevation between site and road (topographic formed), because this can enhance the barrier
