Abstract

Public buildings designed as cultural spaces should not only function as symbols of local identity, but also as active and center of cultural activity. This research examines the phenomenon of deviation in the function of space in the building of the Samarinda City Culture and Tourism Office, then analyzes the phenomenon of deviation in function with an approach that focuses on lived experience and perception of the meaning of space. This study founds that there is a lot of space utilization that is not in accordance with its function, reducing the meaning of public architecture as part of a place to interact. The analysis also shows that spaces used for non-cultural activities such as weddings and school events do not represent the cultural emphasis of East Kalimantan. In addition, weak management, the absence of strict space utilization policies, and low community participation confirm that cultural spaces are not sufficiently supported by symbolic design, but must be balanced with consistent and participatory governance. The recommendations are given in the form of revitalization of cultural programs, improving the management system, and optimizing physical design to support the flexibility and sustainability of cultural activities

Abstract

The Gelora Kadrie Oening (GOR Sempaja) area in Samarinda is a public space with a density of sports activities, performances, and social interactions. However, in the dynamics of the space, there is a disconnection of spatial relations between users, managers, and spatial elements such as Aji Muhammad Salehuddin II Hospital, access patterns from the main door, and post-sports consumption spaces. This research uses the Actor-Network Theory (ANT) approach to understand the connectedness and disconnectedness of human and non-human actors in the spatial structure of the area. Three main phenomena were identified: the unrecognized presence of RSUD, the shift of access from the front gate to the side lane, and the post-physical activity snacking pattern. All three were analyzed within the framework of architectural theory; sense of place, comfort theory, and spatial recognition. The findings indicate a rift in the system of perception, orientation, and spatial meaning, which hinders the overall integration of the area.
