This article is a summary of the results of qualitative research on the interpretation of the symbolic meaning of the three segments of the Jawi Temple building. The results of the study obtained show that (a) the three levels of the Jawi Temple building are interpreted as the feet, body, and top of the mountain; (b) the three levels of the Jawi Temple building are interpreted as the feet, body, and head of humans; (c) Jawi Temple contains symbolic meaning as the natural levels of <em>Bhūrloka</em>, <em>Bhuvarloka</em>, and <em>Svarloka</em> in Hinduism and the natural levels of <em>Kamaloka</em>, <em>Rupaloka</em>, and <em>Arupaloka</em> in Buddhism; (d) Jawi Temple is a symbolization of Mount <em>Meru</em> which has a foot, body, and peak which in its top area is the location of the Kingdom of Heaven; and (e) the four similar faces of Jawi Temple are symbolic of Cosmogony in Hinduism and the embodiment of Lord <em>Brahmā</em>.</p> Ni Putu Ayu Mesa Andini I Nyoman Widya Paramadhyaksa Ema Yunita Titisari I Gusti Agung Bagus Suryada Copyright (c) 2025 Border: Jurnal Arsitektur https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-11-07 2025-11-07 7 2 121 136 https://border.upnjatim.ac.id/index.php/border/article/view/1292 <p>Urban public spaces enhanced with waterscape features offer notable benefits for psychological well-being, particularly through multisensory and spatial engagement. Although theoretical frameworks on healing waterscapes have gained attention, empirical research examining user perceptions within real-world urban settings remains limited. This study investigates how visitors perceive four psychological variables of waterscape design (social, behavioral, cognitive, and emotional) in a prominent public space in Denpasar, Bali. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire, developed from established design sub-criteria, and distributed to visitors at Lapangan Puputan Badung. Responses were analyzed using JMP software to explore perceptual trends across the four variables. Findings indicate that emotional and behavioral aspects received the highest perception scores. Elements such as natural vegetation, organic materials, and ambient natural sounds like rustling leaves, bird songs, and flowing water were strongly associated with feelings of comfort, calmness, and restoration. On the other hand, social and cognitive aspects, including opportunities for interaction, spatial legibility, and acoustic clarity, were rated lower, suggesting areas where the current design may not fully support psychological needs. These insights highlight a perceptual imbalance in the spatial experience of the site. The study contributes practical implications for urban designers and landscape architects in enhancing the restorative qualities of waterscape environments.</p> Km Deddy Endra Prasandya Made Wina Satria Copyright (c) 2025 Border: Jurnal Arsitektur https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-11-07 2025-11-07 7 2 137 152
