Liveable extended urban spaces Through Rural Tourism Sustainable Concept, a Case Study of Yogyakarta, Indonesia

The study is to analyse a performance of sunlight penetration on front terraced house facades designed with earliest, modem, post-modern and the current minimalist style for the case studies. Terraced houses are the most popular house type built in garden estates and new towns under garden city's movement in Malaysia to solve the problem of population overcrowdings in the cities. The earliest terraced houses in Malaysia were built in 1950s. By 1980s, modem terraced house style was popularly built till 2000s when it lost its popularity to post-modem architectural style, and lastly after 2010s minimalist style becomes a popular style for the terraced houses. The SunTool software is used in the survey to calculate the amount of shading area and extent of sunlight penetration. The survey will be conducted at a position when the sun path is perpendicular to the house fa~ade. The study finds that the front facade design focuses more on style rather than avoiding sunlight penetration inside the house. Car porch, recessed wall with balcony, sunshade elements and roof overhang are. frequently used in the house facade design built after 2000 with post -modem and minimalist style for sun shading purposes compared the terraced houses built before 2000
