Abstract

This research about a space syntax analysis on the spatial characteristic of living monuments in Dusun Krecek, a small village in Temanggung, Central Java. The identified living monuments in Dusun Krecek are the village pendapa, Krecek waterfall, Vihara Dhamma Sarana, and their ancestral cemetery. These spaces act as a center of social and cultural expression. In addition, the preservation of these living monuments is proof of their respect for their tradition, elders, and ancestors. This research aims to identify the spatial pattern of Dusun Krecek and how its residents behave in the living monuments. The grounded theory method is applied in this research to explore the social, cultural, and architectural aspects of Dusun Krecek. The primary data is gathered through participant observation, which is followed by a place-centered mapping to identify the social mixing in each space. Interviews and group discussions are held with the village residents to further understand the dynamics between the actors and the space. The codes be used and followed by a space syntax analysis using the street segment map to further understand the spatial characteristic of living monuments in Dusun Krecek. The findings of this research suggest that the spatial configuration of Dusun Krecek is a direct reflection of the structuration of Dusun Krecek. This is linked to the degree of openness and the community empowerment of the people of the village. Thus, the living monuments in Dusun Krecek are a space for religion, tradition, interaction, adaptation, and livelihood.
