This research aims at understanding the meaning of space in the residence of Java Tondano People in Minahasa. To achieve this objective, three important elements of residence must be considered, which are; setting, activities, and values. Bottom up approach is taken to reveal the meaning. The method of data collection and analysis are through triangulation of literature review, field observation, and interview. Case study implemented on the residences that Jaton People built within the period of 1900-1950, which historically show the characteristics of Minahasa traditional house. The result of the analysis suggests that the space in the house of Java Tondano people is not only a place to have a family, but also an integrated part of the Java Tondano people to preserve the value of community, to build relation and to maintain the harmony with the surrounding community. Such meaning of space is motivated by the value of appropriateness, tradition, and goodwill.

Three main things could differentiate the objectives of culture: lifestyle, human mental aspect, habits, and different compatibility towards the environment. Lifestyle refers to the way of life chosen by a human, and that is based on goals, rules, regulation, daily behavior, values, etc. People try to fulfill specific values in life, such as securities, happiness, and togetherness. These values guide people in how they behave [14]. Value as the guideline of activities, the environment is understood as a system setting.
