Abstract

Serule Village is the oldest Islamic settlement originating from the 17th century during the Aceh Sultanate and is classified as a Historical Cultural Heritage Village. Therefore, this research aimed to (1) identify the concepts of protection/defense found in the early vernacular settlement patterns of Serule, (2) analyze symbolic interpretations and Islamic values in the arrangement of Serule vernacular settlements, and (3) examine the harmonization of defense concepts with principles of Islamic cosmology in the embodiment of Serule vernacular settlements. Descriptive qualitative methods were adopted along with data collection techniques, such as observation, interviews, and literature review. The results showed that the configuration of Serule Village emphasized the importance of protecting living things and hydrological factors to avoid flooding. The linear functional spatial composition described a functional zoning system including agricultural land and graves (profane), villages (semi-profane),  Nurul Iman Mosque (central area), as well as gardens and mountains (sacred). Furthermore, the research showed that the composition of landscape elements and environmental characteristics proved a harmony between the need for physical protection (defense concept) and the Islamic values found in Serule village settlements. This discovery contributed to the development of vernacular theory regarding the concept of defense and Islamic religious values.

Abstract

The Indrapurwa Mosque, located in Lamguron Village, Aceh Besar, Indonesia, is a significant historical site dating back to the Aceh Sultanate period. However, following the 2004 earthquake and tsunami, the mosque has experienced physical degradation and diminished public recognition. As part of the historical spatial network of Aceh Lhee Sagoe, the mosque requires a systematic and context-sensitive preservation approach to safeguard its historical and cultural values. This study aims to formulate a revitalization concept for the Indrapurwa Mosque complex by using its original architectural character as the primary design foundation. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method, integrating field observations, interviews, and historical literature review. The study is conducted in two main stages. The first stage involves identifying and analyzing the architectural character of the original Indrapurwa Mosque, including its tiered (tumpang) roof typology, structural system, materiality, and spatial organization. The second stage translates these characteristics into design parameters for the revitalization of the mosque complex, adapted to contemporary functional and spatial requirements. The findings demonstrate that integrating traditional Nusantara architectural character into the design framework can effectively restore the identity of the Indrapurwa Mosque while maintaining historical continuity. The proposed revitalization concept balances preservation and development by reinterpreting architectural values into a contemporary context. This research contributes both theoretically and practically, offering a character-based revitalization approach and providing a reference for the design and preservation of historic religious architecture in Aceh that is rooted in local cultural heritage.
