88th PDIAP Doctoral Graduate, Youngest Graduate in Undip Architecture and Urban Science Doctoral Program

Dimas Danar Dewa or well-known as 3D, has successfully defended his dissertation paper through a closed doctoral promotion session entitled Urban Spatial Dynamics Based on Entropy and Contact Perimeter Approach in Joglosemar Urban Corridor, Indonesia. The man who was born in a small town in Central Java, Salatiga City, has become the youngest doctoral graduate in the Doctoral Program of Architecture and Urbanism at the age of 26. The closed session was chaired by Prof. Dr. Ir. Atiek Suprapti, M.T. on August 1, 2024, and was declared to have graduated as the 88th doctor in the Doctoral Program in Architecture and Urbanism, Department of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Diponegoro with Cumlaude predicate (GPA 4.00). In a series of dissertation examinations starting from the proposal examination, feasibility examination, to the closed doctoral promotion session, it has been tested by internal examiners, namely Dr. Yudi Basuki, S.T., M.T. and Prof. Dr. Ir. Atiek Suprapti, M.T. and has also been examined by Prof. Dr.rer.nat. Muh Aris Marfai (Head of Indonesian Geospatial Information Agency) as an external examiner. The dissertation manuscript is the result of a series of research processes directly guided by Prof. Dr.rer.nat. Imam Buchori, S.T., as promoter, Prof. Dr.sc.agr. Iwan Rudiarto, S.T. M.Sc. as co-promoter I and Dr. Anang Wahyu Sejati as co-promoter II.
For 2 years 11 months and 19 days, the man born on October 21, 1997 has completed his lecture and research process in the architecture and urbanism disciplines, with the Joglosemar Urban Corridor as the research locus in Java. The research topic raised was how to define urban spatial dynamics into a more measurable spatial model in facing the rapid and uncontrolled urbanization phenomenon. The research results produced empirical and theoretical models that can be used in assessing spatial dynamics from the aspects of density, diversity, and spatial dispersion, which are representations of size, type, and shape in the context of Urban Ecology Theory. The entire model is then summarized into the theoretical model “3D Mosaic Model of Urban Spatial Dynamics” which puts spatial dynamics into three dimensions (density, diversity, and spatial dispersion) and is described in eight mosaic models of urban spatial dynamics.
As a student who pursues the field of urban and regional planning and focuses on urban spatial modeling based on GIS, remote sensing, and image processing, he has the opportunity to continue his education through the 2020 PMDSU-UNDIP scholarship. The entire series of research results have been successfully published in 5 reputable international journals (4 articles in Q1 and 1 article in Q2) with SJR> 0.5 and one of them was published in the Journal of Geovisualization and Spatial Analysis (Springer) with SJR> 1. In addition, the research results have also been successfully published in international seminar proceedings and there are still 2 articles under review. All of these achievements make 3D the youngest doctoral graduate with the most output of article publications in reputable international journals in the Doctoral Program in Architecture and Urbanism, Universitas Diponegoro to date.
