Abstract
The style of gated communities in Southeast Asia may be copied from those in the United States, but the function is different. In contrast to the United States, where Blakely and Snyder differentiate between lifestyle, prestige and security zone communities, most gated communities in Southeast Asia show a mixture of the three types. Resulting from the socio–economic and cultural background, security always seems to be the basis for such developments. However, with the growth of upper middle classes, prestige and lifestyle become more and more important, and are also used for marketing. As examples from Indonesia show, land developers partly create the tastes of the customers and, almost without interference from the government, form new landscapes, with elements that often have more symbolic meaning than practical use.
