to innovation and value creation.
Designpreneurs are experts in design who can identify market opportunities, take risks, and manage business development from idea to implementation.
This integration is more than just merging two disciplines, it is a synergy that fosters a unique way of thinking and acting in facing contemporary challenges .
, .
The essence of designpreneurs is the application of design thinking a human-centered, iterative methodology to the entrepreneurial process.
This means that rather than starting with a rigid business model, designpreneurs begin with a deep understanding of the needs of their users and the problems they want to solve.
This empathetic process involves understanding the audience, accurately defining the problem, ideating to generate creative solutions, prototyping to test viability, and repeatedly testing those solutions to refine them.
This iterative approach stands in stark contrast to traditional, often linear business models, allowing for rapid adaptation to feedback and market changes .
Ae.
The Significance of Designpreneur in Innovation and Value Creation Designpreneurs play a crucial role in driving innovation and value creation across sectors by producing solutions that are technically new, user-driven, and commercially viable .
They act as key agents of innovation through design thinking to address market gaps .
, create multidimensional value that builds loyalty, and provide competitive advantage with adaptive business models .
They also solve complex problems using holistic and systemic approaches that generate social and environmental impact .
Unlike earlier studies focused on SMEs or cultural industries, this research highlights designpreneurship in IKN housing, framing it as a sustainable model integrating local wisdom, cultural identity, smart building principles, and geohazard resilience.
More broadly, the combination of design and entrepreneurship fosters co-creation and social collaboration for sustainable market and social value .
UNESCO and UN in 2021 reports affirm IndonesiaAos creative economy as a strategic path for national progress, while design thinking in higher education strengthens entrepreneurial character .

Design of Ministerial Landed Houses in Nusantara Capital City (IKN) The Indonesian governmentAos new capital city, the Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN), presents challenges in planning housing for state officials, including ministerial residences that must support productivity, cultural representation, and sustainability .
Interior design plays a crucial role in creating a unique visual impression while accommodating green building concepts, smart living principles, and the archipelagoAos identity, with architectural patterns arranged by function and activity type, and design concepts reflecting KalimantanAos cultural identity.
In addition to cultural considerations, the Indonesian Capital AuthorityAos circular letter No.
009/SE/Kepala-Otorita IKN/Vi/2023 provides guidelines for the development of smart buildings, requiring functional compliance to support the vision of AuA World City for AllAy.
Smart building principles emphasize automation, multi-functionality, adaptability, interactivity, inclusivity, and efficiency, ensuring energy efficiency, comfort, and security, while contributing to sustainable development across sectors .

875Ae889 ye APTISI Transactions on Technopreneurship (ATT) Collaboration and Innovation of Creative Business Models The designpreneur concept requires project managers to promote cross-disciplinary collaboration among designers, academics, and technology industry players, as studies show such collaboration supports knowledge transfer and innovative solutions.
Partnerships between design firms and technology companies integrate digital tools into design processes, while innovative business models must leverage digitalization and sustainability .
Beyond universities, smaller schools and cultural groups can apply designpreneurship by using AI tools and upgraded LMS platforms, enabling customized curricula, documentation, and commercialization of local knowledge.
This extends designpreneurship from academic institutions to grassroots communities, ensuring inclusivity in creative economy and housing design strategies .
Research also shows that entrepreneurs adopting digital innovation and sustainable models gain stronger competitiveness, highlighting the need for project management units to design creative strategies such as technology-based platforms and business systems that combine creativity, cultural values, and sustainability orientation.
Strengthening Local Wisdom and Sustainability Principles In the context of IKN, ministerial residences must combine local cultural identity with modern architectural principles.
Local elements appear through natural materials such as wood, stone, and rattan, as well as traditional Nusantara spatial concepts adapted to tropical climates, while modern values such as technology use, minimalist design, and space efficiency support sustainability.
This synergy creates interiors that are contextual, functional, and energy efficient .
Managerially, material and furniture procurement should involve local communities to add value and ensure ecological aspects, for example renewable resources and natural Table 1 illustrates the integration of smart building systems requiring planning, design, review, implementation, and evaluation .
This approach aligns with design education programs that emphasize project management rooted in cultural phenomena and SDGs, where housing design harmonizes Nusantara aesthetics and modern efficiency.
The integration of local wisdom and sustainability is evident in renewable materials, vernacular features like wide roof overhangs and natural ventilation, and eco-friendly practices such as rainwater harvesting, green spaces, and passive cooling, all of which preserve culture while enhancing sustainability and resilience in IKN residences .

Implementation of Smart Building Technology Figure 11 is the Integrated Smart Building Management System as the basic concept of smart buildings in the IKN.
The ministerial residence should incorporate automation and digitalization technologies to improve operational efficiency.
The Nusantara Smart Building Guidelines emphasize that smart buildings must be able to improve energy, time, and cost efficiency through real-time data and automation.
The use of sensors and predictive maintenance can prevent major damage and save time and repair costs.
Automation systems also allow for automatic lighting and temperature settings, which improve the occupant experience through environmental personalization .

Thus, facility managers need to adopt an open platform based on the Internet of Things (IoT) and a digital twin model to monitor building performance comprehensively.
For example, a digital twin model can display building energy data virtually so that managers can analyze energy usage, detect system failures, and plan more optimal maintenance .
This approach is consistent with the principles of green buildings, which emphasize energy efficiency, irrigation water use, and environmentally friendly material and waste management in construction.
Therefore, the management team needs to design an integrated building control system (BMS) that includes smart meters, sensor networks, and integrated control panels according to the recommendations of the guidelines .

and consider local soil conditions, including the potential for expansive soil.
In terms of flood mitigation, project management needs to integrate high-capacity drainage solutions, raised ground floors, and conversion of infiltration land.
This approach has been applied on a city scale.
The IKN Authority is carrying out reforestation and building water reservoirs to control flooding and conserve water.
This principle can be applied to the design of the ministerAos house by planting trees in strategic locations and connecting the rainwater reservoir system to the city reservoir.
An early warning system for earthquakes/floods and soil moisture monitoring must also be installed so that the management team can be responsive.
All of these steps will ensure that the official residence remains safe and operational even when faced with potential disasters .
Additional Evaluation and Recommendations Overall, interior design for ministerial landed houses in IKN must integrate local wisdom with sustainable principles by adding strategic features.
First, the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and lean management should be applied from the planning stage to strengthen designpreneursAo capabilities, improve coordination, optimize resources, and reduce waste, in line with PUPRAos direction .
Second, modular or prefab architecture can accelerate construction and allow future adaptation.
As shown in Figure 13, smart building concepts should be applied through energy-efficient glass to minimize air conditioning use and by following the smart building management system guidelines issued by OIK .

Third, local wisdom should be strengthened by involving residents in providing input on interior design and entrepreneurship values, for example using local handicrafts as living room decorations .
, .
Fourth, disaster protection must be integrated, such as smart kitchens with zero emissions, waste sorting systems, eco-friendly incinerators, and careful planning of floor elevation, gutters, and rain catchment areas in accordance with IKN standards .
Ae.
Fifth, human-centered design should combine proper design principles with local cultural values, both tangible and intangible, with standardized documentation to preserve harmony when future changes occur .
For policymakers, bibliometric findings provide evidence to design regulations that integrate designpreneurship into housing policy through incentives for cultural integration, green building standards, and resilience against geohazards.
Authorities can use clusters of innovation and collaboration to prioritize partnerships with universities, creative communities, and technology providers in shaping IKN housing guidelines.
For developers, the study offers guidance to adopt design-driven business models that merge cultural sustainability with smart building technologies, including modular designs, collaboration with local artisans, and IoT systems for energy efficiency and disaster monitoring.
In practice, policymakers can embed sustainability and digitalization in regulations, urban planners may apply tools such as BIM and zoning for ecological balance, ye

and designpreneurs are encouraged to co-create with local communities to ensure innovation that is competitive and culturally grounded.
Moreover, the findings align with SDG 9 and SDG 11, where designpreneurship supports resilient infrastructure, industrial innovation, and sustainable communities, reinforcing its role in advancing both creative economy discourse and global sustainability goals.
MANAGERIAL IMPLICATIONS
The findings of this study offer several important managerial implications for the design of ministerial housing in IKN.
Local wisdom should be preserved through adaptive design concepts that harmonize cultural values with natural environmental conditions.
Sustainability must be integrated by utilizing renewable materials, ensuring energy efficiency, and incorporating smart technologies to support long-term environmental Disaster resilience should be embedded through responsive structural design and reliable supporting infrastructure.
Furthermore, applying a human-centered design approach ensures that technical standards remain aligned with cultural identity, resulting in residential spaces that are efficient, sustainable, and resilient while reflecting IKNAos vision as a modern city rooted in tradition.
CONCLUSION
This study presents one of the most comprehensive bibliometric mappings of designpreneurship, highlighting IndonesiaAos position as the central hub of global collaboration, with strong networks involving Malaysia.
Japan, and China.
Keyword analysis and author collaboration patterns show consolidated research clusters focused on innovation, business models, and design-driven entrepreneurship.
These developments indicate that designpreneurship has matured into a field that integrates design thinking with business innovation and sustainability, shifting its orientation from mere product creation toward user experience and environmental The novelty of this research lies in contextualizing designpreneurship within the domain of housing design, particularly in the development of ministerial residences in IKN.
By integrating design-driven innovation, smart building technologies, and local wisdom, the study demonstrates how residential design can be positioned within the creative economy landscape.
Network and thematic analyses reveal emerging themes such as knowledge integration, design-driven innovation, and the crucial role of human capital, thereby enriching current literature with new perspectives that connect creativity, technology, and sustainability.
Despite its contributions, several limitations must be acknowledged.
The reliance on Dimensions as the primary database may exclude local or non-indexed literature, limiting the scope of the dataset.
Additionally, the evolving and non-standardized definitions of designpreneurship risk overlooking related terms.
Dependence on citation metrics and link strength also requires caution when making broader generalizations.
These limitations underscore the need for future studies to refine conceptual definitions, broaden database coverage, and strengthen methodological approaches to provide a more comprehensive understanding of designpreneurship.
