Abstract

This research examines the cultural acculturation reflected through the architecture of shophouse buildings in Arab Village, Tuban, East Java. This study explores how Javanese, Arab (Yemeni), Chinese, and Dutch Colonial architectural elements blend over time in the spatial and visual form of shophouse buildings that double as residential and business premises. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data was collected through visual observation, architectural sketches, interviews with long-time residents, and analysis of archives and historical documents. The results showed that the acculturation process occurred both in physical elements-such as building typology, spatial layout, facade composition, roof shapes, and ornaments-and non-physical aspects, such as trade practices, gender roles, and cultural values in daily life. Acculturation in physical forms is more easily accepted, while non-physical aspects such as lifestyle and social behavior tend to maintain stronger cultural boundaries. The area's architectural identity reflects a gradual hybridization process driven by functional needs, cultural interaction and urban transformation, making the built heritage a meaningful medium for cultural dialogue and identity preservation.

Abstract

Pasar Kayoon in Surabaya holds historical significance and a strategic position as a hub for the flower trade and other commercial activities in the city center. Over the past decade, the area has experienced notable physical and visual transformations, especially in its building facades, a key element of the area’s urban identity. This study analyzes facade development in the Pasar Kayoon area from 2015 to 2025 and identifies factors influencing these changes. An explanatory method with a qualitative descriptive approach was employed, using Google Street View terrestrial imagery for longitudinal observation from a pedestrian perspective. Visual and spatial analyses focused on facade elements,form, materials, colors, signage, and forecourt use,triangulated with maps, photographic documentation, and historical literature. Findings indicate significant changes in some segments, including conversion of open spaces into kiosks, signage redesign, facade element modifications, and building height alterations, while other segments maintained their original character with minor adjustments. These transformations were driven by commercial needs, changes in sold commodities, space demands for economic growth, and contemporary design trends. The study provides insights for maintaining visual cohesion while preserving the area’s historical identity in future development planning

Abstract

This study examines the role of shopping malls as urban third places for Generations Y and Z in Bali, a rapidly developing and tourism-oriented region where traditional communal spaces increasingly coexist with modern commercial environments. Using a mixed-method approach that integrates perceptual surveys (n = 119), field observations, spatial documentation, and correlation analysis, the research investigates how malls support contemporary sociability, cultural expression, and digitally mediated interaction. Findings show that malls are the most frequently visited indoor third places among young residents, valued for their accessibility, climate-controlled comfort, and diverse amenities. Correspondence analysis reveals four dominant activities shared by both generations: casual conversation, eating and drinking, exploring places, and people-watching, while Generation Z demonstrates a stronger inclination toward solitary, observational, and digital activities. Case studies of Living World Mall and Mal Bali Galeria illustrate two distinct spatial typologies: an experiential, flexible, youth-oriented environment and a community-oriented, familiarity-based environment. Key spatial factors such as seating availability, shading, façade permeability, greenery, and thermal comfort significantly influence users’ third place perceptions. Overall, the study shows that malls in Bali function as hybrid social infrastructures that redefine Oldenburg’s third place concept, highlighting the interplay between commercial design and generational behaviors in shaping contemporary public life.

Abstract

The 2017 eruption of Mount Agung caused significant alarm among both tourism stakeholders and the central government simultaneously. This was not only due to the sudden eruption after fifty years of dormancy, but also because of a deeper issue reflecting the inherently selfish tendencies of humans. A mountain - literally part of the natural world - was instead perceived as an obstacle to tourism revenue, since visitors could no longer travel to Bali. It was an ironic situation, as if tourism property were more important than the natural event itself, despite the fact that, according to local belief, the eruption was timely and necessary, serving as a natural balance within which all living beings exist. During this period, the author experienced the unusual circumstance of rewatching the film Petualangan Sherina (Sherina’s Adventure) on a flight to Bali, after being stranded outside the island for several days due to the eruption and the closure of Ngurah Rai Airport. This peculiar incident raised numerous questions and prompted the author to explore Balinese architectural knowledge through various writings, as well as art and architectural exhibitions held in 2017.

Abstract

This study examines the role of Puputan Margarana Renon Square in supporting Denpasar’s development as a sustainable city through an urban architectural perspective encompassing urban form, urban structure, and urban function. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, data were collected through field observations, visual documentation, and a literature review related to sustainable urban development and traditional Balinese architectural principles. The findings show that in terms of urban form, the square features a symmetrical configuration oriented toward the Bajra Sandhi Monument, reflecting the principles of Asta Kosala Kosali and Tri Hita Karana, which strengthen the visual identity and legibility of the city. From a structural perspective, the area comprises three key layers: an ecological structure formed by dense vegetation that functions as a green buffer and water infiltration zone; a circulation structure that supports sustainable mobility through pedestrian pathways and an integrated vehicular network; and a social structure that accommodates diverse community activities, including sports, cultural events, and traditional ceremonies. Functionally, Renon Square contributes to reducing local temperatures, improving air quality, enhancing social interaction, and reinforcing Denpasar’s architectural character. The study concludes that Renon Square is a strategic public space that significantly contributes to the environmental, social, and aesthetic sustainability of Denpasar. Recommendations emphasize strengthening public space management to support future sustainable urban development.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of the functions and architectural form of the Bale Banjar in Kuta as a space for communal deliberation and the preservation of Balinese culture amid modernization, globalization, and the pressures of tourism. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach within an interpretive paradigm, the research involved participant observation during pesangkepan wargi (customary deliberation meetings), in-depth interviews with 5–8 informants (including kelian banjar and senior krama), and triangulation with historical archival sources, focusing on three Bale Banjar in the Kuta area. The findings reveal hybrid adaptations of the bale pesangkepan to accommodate economic discussions (accounting for 60% of sessions), an increase in the frequency of deliberations to once every two weeks, the persistence of nonverbal interactions and the bale kulkul as a traditional calling symbol, and the addition of modern LPG-based perantenan (kitchens), which extend the duration of krama participation by 30–40% per session through the provision of fast food. The discussion affirms the resilience of the Bale Banjar through the principles of Tri Hita Karana and Nawa Sanga zoning, wherein material adaptations enhance pawongan (human relations) without eroding the spiritual awig-awig, although the growing dominance of material concerns risks shifting customary priorities. The conclusion highlights the Bale Banjar as a hybrid living entity of the Desa Pakraman, and recommends architectural conservation as well as longitudinal mixed-methods studies for national architectural design guidelines. The study contributes a narrative model of deliberative space for the preservation of urban Balinese culture.
