ABSTRAK
Kampung Gelam merupakan salah satu kawasan di Kecamatan Gandus, Kota Palembang, yang memiliki potensi besar sebagai kawasan eduwisata berbasis lingkungan, budaya, dan ekonomi kreatif. Kawasan ini dikenal dengan keberadaan vegetasi pohon gelam yang memiliki nilai ekologis dan ekonomis, serta dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat sebagai bahan baku minyak kayu putih dan berbagai produk herbal. Namun, potensi tersebut belum didukung oleh fasilitas edukasi, rekreasi, dan wisata yang terintegrasi sehingga nilai kawasan belum berkembang secara optimal.Perencanaan dan Perancangan Kawasan Eduwisata Kampung Gelam di Kota Palembang hadir sebagai upaya mengembangkan potensi kawasan melalui penyediaan fasilitas edukasi, konservasi, rekreasi, dan pemberdayaan masyarakat dalam satu kawasan terpadu. Pendekatan Arsitektur Postmodern Metafora Daun Gelam diterapkan sebagai konsep utama dengan mentransformasikan bentuk daun gelam ke dalam gubahan massa bangunan, bentuk atap, dan elemen fasad sehingga menghasilkan identitas arsitektur yang ikonik dan kontekstual. Penggunaan material alami serta perpaduan teknologi modern mendukung karakter bangunan yang ramah lingkungan dan selaras dengan kondisi kawasan rawa di tepi Sungai Musi.Kawasan ini dirancang dengan menghadirkan fasilitas berupa pusat edukasi herbal, greenhouse, galeri gelam, laboratorium herbal, workshop pengolahan minyak kayu putih, area UMKM, amphitheater, boardwalk, camping ground, area outbound, serta ruang terbuka hijau yang terintegrasi dengan kawasan konservasi. Perencanaan ini diharapkan mampu menjadi destinasi eduwisata unggulan di Kota Palembang, meningkatkan pelestarian lingkungan dan budaya lokal, memperkuat perekonomian masyarakat melalui pengembangan produk herbal, serta mendukung pariwisata berkelanjutan yang sejalan dengan Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), yaitu Tujuan 4 (Quality Education), Tujuan 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), Tujuan 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), dan Tujuan 15 (Life on Land).

Kampung Gelam is an area located in Gandus District, Palembang City, with significant potential to be developed as an educational tourism destination based on the environment, culture, and the creative economy. The area is well known for its gelam trees, which possess ecological and economic value and are utilized by the local community as raw materials for cajuput oil and various herbal products. However, this potential has not yet been supported by integrated educational, recreational, and tourism facilities, resulting in the area's underdeveloped value.The planning and design of the Kampung Gelam Educational Tourism Area in Palembang aims to optimize the area's potential by providing integrated educational, conservation, recreational, and community empowerment facilities. The Postmodern Architecture approach with the Gelam Leaf Metaphor is applied as the main design concept by transforming the form of the gelam leaf into the building mass composition, roof design, and façade elements, creating an iconic and contextual architectural identity. The use of natural materials combined with modern technology supports an environmentally friendly design that is well suited to the swampy conditions along the Musi River.The area is designed to include various facilities, such as a herbal education center, greenhouse, Gelam gallery, herbal laboratory, cajuput oil processing workshop, MSME area, amphitheater, boardwalk, camping ground, outbound area, and green open spaces integrated with the conservation area. This planning is expected to establish Kampung Gelam as a leading educational tourism destination in Palembang, enhance environmental and cultural preservation, strengthen the local economy through the development of herbal products, and support sustainable tourism in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), namely Goal 4 (Quality Education), Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and Goal 15 (Life on Land).
