Adaptasi Konfigurasi Ruang pada Hunian Madura di Baran Tumpang Malang

Abstract

This study examines the adaptation of spatial configuration in the homes of the Madurese community in Baran Tumpang, Malang, using a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through non-participatory observation, interviews, and literature studies. The findings reveal a shift in the spatial configuration concerning size, function, position, hierarchy, circulation, and relationships between spaces. The RA (Grandmother's House) and RB (Mother's House) types tend to be linear and hierarchical, with patterns emphasizing privacy. In contrast, the RC (Children's House) type demonstrates spatial flexibility, featuring a side terrace and more varied bedroom layouts, reflecting the needs of modern inhabitants. A transformation of the living room into a sleeping area occurs, with the use of "amben" (a traditional platform) also serving as a space for prayer. Linear circulation remains dominant across all three types, although the RC type introduces additional access points for activity flexibility. The relationship between spaces is characterized by a more structured pattern in the RA and RB types, whereas the RC type exhibits a more open layout. This adaptation reflects the dynamic interaction between traditional values and modernization, representing how local architecture adjusts to contemporary needs while preserving its cultural essence
