| Abstrak/Abstract |
Borobudur rural village is an area with advantages in the
form of land processing, rural traditional architecture, community
living systems, and existing natural formations. Traditional
residential architecture is one of the aspects of the cultural landscape
(saujana) down from one generation to the next. The traditional
Javanese architecture of the residential houses has a distinctive
character, which is very clearly seen in the shape of the roof. Along
with the development of the population and tourism activities of the
Borobudur Temple, changes have occurred in the architecture of
these traditional residential houses.
This paper examines these changes. The research aims to
identify the architectural characteristics of the traditional residential
houses in the rural areas of Borobudur, and find out the changes and
continuities. The research employed qualitative methods taking
samples of physical traditional Javanese houses in three villages:
Candirejo, Wanurejo and Borobudur). Occupants were interviewed
to find out the characteristics of the domestic architecture and how
they contributed to sustainability. Qualitative spatial analysis were
conducted to identify the changes and continuities of architecture
and the influence of them on the sustainability of the cultural
landscape of Borobudur.
The results show that changes have occurred primarily in the
patterns of inner spaces and wall materials of the houses. There are
also additions of new buildings with semi-modern architecture.
traditional Javanese architecture still continues in terms of the
functions and the shapes of the houses, including the shape of the
roof. Nevertheless, the emergence of the new buildings is a threat to
the declining quality of the village atmosphere and threaten the
sustainability of the Borobudur saujana. |
