Abstract

Exploring the concept of "genius loci," which refers to the spirit or essence of a place shaped by human interactions and the surrounding environment, this study focuses on the historical district of Kotagede in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It examines how the unique architectural and cultural characteristics of two alleys, Gang Rukunan RW 07 Purbayan and Gang Rukunan RW 09 Purbayan, contribute to their distinct identities. Gang Rukunan RW 09, also known as Between Two Gates, is particularly renowned for its well-preserved traditional Javanese architecture and communal spaces. Using a phenomenological qualitative research method, including observations and interviews, the research identifies three key aspects of genius loci: image, space, and character. The findings reveal that while Gang Rukunan RW 09 is celebrated for its traditional architecture, Gang Rukunan RW 07, despite undergoing modern transformations, retains significant elements of its cultural identity through active social interactions among residents. The study highlights the challenges posed by modernization, which often threatens the preservation of traditional values and architectural integrity. Ultimately, the paper underscores the importance of understanding and maintaining the genius loci of historical areas to foster community identity and cultural heritage amid the pressures of urban development.

Abstract

Citra Niaga area in Samarinda, a recipient of the Aga Khan Award, has experienced a significant decline in existence due to modern competition and the erosion of sense of place. This research aims to identify sense of place elements (physical form, activity, meaning) based on cross-generational perceptions to formulate an adaptive revitalization strategy. Using data (Likert scale questionnaire and qualitative) from 93 respondents (visitors and merchants), the quantitative analysis shows the historical value and original architecture of Citra Niaga is appreciated. However, significant weaknesses were seen in the diversity of activities, quality of facilities, and physical tidiness. The qualitative analysis highlighted an aspiration gap between generations: the older generation longs for the nostalgia of the past, while the younger generation seeks dynamic experiences and modern facilities. Key complaints include parking issues, cleanliness, and lack of creative events. These results emphasize the need for a holistic approach. The proposed revitalization strategy includes preserving the original architecture along with improving parking facilities and arrangements, diversifying activities through cultural events and contemporary tenants, and building a historical narrative that appeals to all generations. The goal is to transform Citra Niaga into a relevant, beloved and sustainable public space for the people of Samarinda.
