A high population density is one the characteristics of kampungs , which
are located in urban centers. This condition is accompanied y other spatial
characteristics of kampungs, such as dynamic, flexible, organic, and multi
function. Such spatial typology creates a light separation in the kampung space
and triggers “spatial togetherness” where social cohesiveness is easier to be realized. This phenomenon happens in almost all cities in Indonesia. In addition,
overpopulation in kampu ngs can trigger slum ming of these kampungs
. Theoretically, it is believed that high density is one of the requirements in creating
a compact condition in kampung and urban settings. High density enables
not only economically but also socio- psychologically the emergence of creative
spaces. Those spaces are not only limited to private houses , but also the public space or public facilities of ampung. With their local strategy, kampung communities collaboratively create a creative dialogue on space. This paper
presents evidence that emerges from traditional markets, which are The exploration of those markets is mainly correlated with socio -psychological creativity in overcoming limitation
s and space density. The
research is performe
d by correlating traditional market attributes
, which covers
location, nature of supply, function, degree of informality, lay out, and
organization.
The results will be important lesson
s to know and adopt some
models of high density
, which
are suitable for appropriate cases of urban
kampung settlements. Another lesson is people’s creativity
and collaboration in accommodating their daily needs in high-density settlements
is an interesting reference for designing density itself. |
