REPOSITION OF CULTURAL-TRADITION WITHIN PERANAKAN HOUSE IN PECINAN, LASEM, CENTRAL JAVA

Abstract

Indirectly and unconsciously, a change in circumstances can affect the experience of residents because of changes in activities in the dwelling based on the repositioning of cultural-traditions. This event can act as a connectivity machine that encourages the creation of additional or new spaces that are tangible or intangible. The resulting spatial experience varies according to the state of the space, the activities that occur, and the memory of the occupants. This paper aims to contribute to an understanding of the repositioning of cultural-traditions occurring in the Peranakan house, Lasem, and to encourage readers to see the space from a different perspective. To answer these objectives, the method begins with surveys, interviews, and observations by documenting activities and spaces in the Kidang Mas Peranakan house complex in Lasem, Central Java as a case study. The research discussion is supported by the space trialectic concept, namely Lived Space and a phenomenological approach. This research finds that the repositioning of culture-traditions and space is interconnected and it appears that space is not just a place or a place to take shelter but a place to experience and gathering places of memories.
