Mapping Post-Graduation Choice Trends: A Quantitative Study of Class XI Multimedia Students of Vocational High Schools in Sleman Regency

Rico Nurillahi — 2026-03-10

Purpose of the study: This study aims to map the post-graduation choice tendencies of Grade XI Multimedia students at vocational high schools in Sleman Regency, focusing on their orientation toward entering the workforce or continuing their studies in higher education.

Methodology: This study employed a quantitative descriptive survey design. The population consisted of 165 Grade XI Multimedia students from five vocational high schools in Sleman Regency, with 117 students selected through proportionate random sampling using the Slovin formula. Data were collected using a validated Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, including mean scores and percentages.

Main Findings: The results show that both post-graduation tendencies are categorized as high. The tendency to continue higher education (Mean = 3.84; 76.8%) is slightly higher than the tendency to enter the workforce (Mean = 3.59; 71.8%). Internal factors, particularly personal motivation and future aspirations, were identified as the most dominant determinants influencing students’ choices. These findings indicate that students have developed relatively mature career orientations since Grade XI, with a stronger inclination toward further study.

Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides a comparative mapping of two post-graduation tendencies within the same group of Multimedia students, rather than examining employment or further study interests separately. By focusing on Grade XI students and the Multimedia specialization in Sleman Regency, this research offers contextual and updated empirical evidence regarding vocational students’ career orientation prior to graduation.

Integration of Neo-Vernacular Architectural Values in the Design of Rental Apartments in Makassar City

Widya Apriani — 2026-03-10

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze and formulate the integration of neo-vernacular architectural values derived from Bugis–Makassar traditional architecture into the design concept of rental apartment buildings in Makassar City in order to create culturally contextual and functional vertical housing.

Methodology: This study used a qualitative research approach with architectural design analysis. Data were collected through literature study, documentation study, and site observation in Makassar City. The analysis employed descriptive qualitative analysis to identify Bugis–Makassar architectural elements and integrate them into contemporary apartment design concepts.

Main Findings: The results show that Bugis–Makassar architectural elements such as traditional roof forms, spatial hierarchy, ornamental motifs, and environmental adaptation can be transformed and integrated into modern apartment design. The proposed design combines cultural identity, environmental responsiveness, and functional efficiency through façade adaptation, zoning systems, natural ventilation strategies, and contextual building mass composition.

Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this study lies in the conceptual integration of Bugis–Makassar neo-vernacular architectural values into vertical residential design. This research demonstrates how traditional cultural elements can be transformed into modern apartment architecture while maintaining functional requirements and strengthening local cultural identity in urban housing development.
