Studi Perubahan Spasial Rumah Tinggal Menjadi Rumah Pondokan Mahasiswa Di Yogyakarta

The development of higher education institution in Yogyakarta leads to the growth of students boarding houses in urban fringe area. Many residential houses have changed to student boarding houses. The increase of heterogenity population changes community\u27s social orientation, from communal into individual. This transformation gives significant effect on the spatial order of houses and their surrounding. This research is conducted on boarding houses in Tawangsari village, through naturalistic approach to find a holistic description of development in which the spatial transformation of houses and their surrounding are found. The samples and themes are defined within synchronic and diachronic approach, comulatively. Tentative themes from earlier cases are related inductively to other case to find a local theory. The results of this research are as follows: (1). there are four boarding house\u27s patterns which can be determined by the used space, the relationship between owners and renters, and the characteristics of constructions. Those patterns have been changing evolutively within two stages, temporary conversion and permanent renovation/expansion, to find an ideal model(2). There are three house types determined from the forms, constructions, and materials. The physical transformations of the houses are conducted by adapting the model which lead to permanence and the aesthetic expression of boarding house\u27s commercial image. Building constructions are also transformed from conventional (samba tan) to commercial (borongan) system(3). there are four spatial layouts of house-site determined from division, boundaries, and house relations. There is a will to defend the kinship, despite the physical boundary separations. The spatial development of boarding houses which lead to permanence as well as privacy act as an improvement of professionalism and commercialism as a tool for economic empowerment. Spatial changes of boarding house, show that the house plays an important role in fulfilling household needs, from basic needs to self-actualization needs. They can\u27t be separated from man, space, and time as contexts. Those changes show a dichotomic development, individual/commercial in one side, and communal in the other side. This phenomenon shows different interests of social orientation: Javanese tradition (paguyuban) and modern society (patembayan). Key Words: Spatial Transformation, Economic Empowerment, Dichotomic Social Orientatio
