| Abstrak/Abstract |
A correctional facility has the critical task of fostering prisoners. Therefore, the correctional facilities in Indonesia have two fostering programs, they are the personal development program and the skills development program. The skills development program has positive impacts on prisoners. It encourages them to learn various skills that can be useful to earn a living when they are released later and provides opportunities to use the time inside the correctional facility positively. However, in Yogyakarta, the correctional facility for women does not have its official building and is located in the men’s correctional facility. Those conditions impact the spatial limitations, including space to conduct the skills development program. The program is forcefully run in the corridor of cell blocks with a lack of facility, which contradicts the rule that the program should be done in a workshop room with adequate equipment. This study aims to examine the spatial utilization for the skills development program by analyzing the relationship between the physical settings and the occurring activities there. By conducting place-centered mapping, questionnaire survey, and interview for data collection, this study showed that 50 respondents mostly preferred to work in the area with television, electric fan, and also in front of their cells. Those areas were mostly used to work on knitting skill. Those results raise a concern about how a correctional facility should have adequate space that encourages social solidarity and provides enough spatial autonomy for the skills development program. |
