Space Syntax Analysis on Sundanese Traditional Villages (Case Studies: Kampung Naga, Kampung Ciptagelar, and Kampung Dukuh)

Abstract

This study is conducted to identify spatial patterns of traditional villages in Indonesia, especially the Sundanese traditional villages using the space syntax approach. The indicator of the spatial pattern was measured by the quality of circulation such as connectivity, integration, choice, mean depth, connectivity of visibility, and agent analysis. Kampung Naga, Kampung Ciptagelar, and Kampung Dukuh was purposively selected as case studies. The spatial maps from open-source literature were utilized for space syntax analysis. The scale of circulation quality was measured in a 0-5 scale, which was visualized by dark blue (very low) until red colour (very high) for the indicators. In general, all case studies have relatively low accessibility and very low choice and agent analysis indicators. This means those villages have an exclusive and private spatial pattern. In detail, Kampung Dukuh has relatively high connectivity, mean depth, and connectivity of visibility indicators than other case studies. It can also be influenced by the proximity of the village to the nearest town. Sundanese traditional villages have fairly segregated spatial, that is to conserve their norms, such as hierarchy and social status.
