Abstract

Lawang Sewu is one of the most iconic historical landmarks in Semarang, deeply associated with colonial heritage and tragic past events, particularly when its underground space functioned as a prison during the Japanese occupation. This historical background positions Lawang Sewu as a relevant subject within the framework of dark tourism, not merely through mystical narratives but as a medium of historical education, collective memory preservation, and humanitarian reflection. This study adopts a qualitative case study approach, employing observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The analysis draws on dark tourism, cultural commodification, and phenomenology theories to illustrate how the visitor experience at Lawang Sewu extends beyond appreciating colonial architecture to engaging in historical understanding, emotional reflection, and the transformation of dark narratives into educational tourism value. The findings highlight that Lawang Sewu can be positioned as an ethical dark tourism destination that serves as a space for learning, reflection, and cultural identity reinforcement, thereby contributing positively to the development of heritage-based tourism in Semarang.

Abstract

The growing flexibility in study and work patterns has encouraged people to seek alternative venues beyond their homes or formal workplaces, thereby increasing the use of communal spaces for daily activities. This phenomenon is evident in the Summarecon Digital Center (SDC) Gading Serpong area, where a communal space originally intended to support commercial activity is now increasingly used by users as a place for studying and working. This study aims to describe users’ perceptions of the use of this communal space based on the cognitive, affective, and conative dimensions of the tricomponent attitude model. This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Informants were determined through purposive sampling technique, involving 30 users of the SDC communal space. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observation, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model. The results show that users perceive the SDC communal space as supportive of study and work activities due to its open access without purchase obligations, adequate facilities, and a comfortable atmosphere for both activity and socializing. However, unstable Wi-Fi quality and limited power outlets remain concerns for some users. These findings are expected to serve as input for area managers without diminishing the social and commercial functions of the area

Abstract

Kesawan Medan Old Town is a tourist destination in Medan City with historical, cultural, and architectural values that attract visitors. As an area frequently visited by pedestrians, the availability of pedestrian facilities significantly influences tourists’ comfort and safety. However, several pedestrian facilities remain inadequate. This study aims to analyze tourists’ perceptions of pedestrian facilities in Kesawan Medan Old Town, identify facilities requiring improvement, and develop recommendations for pedestrian facility development. This study employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Eight tourists who had used pedestrian facilities in the area were selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that tourists generally have positive perceptions of several pedestrian facilities, including sidewalks, street lighting, seating areas, waste bins, zebra crossings, and disability pathways, which support comfort and safety. However, tourists identified several shortcomings, particularly the limited availability of shading structures, directional signage, zebra crossings, and pedestrian barriers or bollards. They therefore expect improvements and additional facilities to enhance comfort and safety. The findings provide recommendations for relevant stakeholders to improve pedestrian facilities and create a more comfortable, safe, accessible, and pedestrian-friendly tourism environment in Kesawan Medan Old Town.
