Horizontal Spatial Transformation of Home-Based Enterprises in Kampung Karangasem, Depok, Sleman

Abstract

The number of student facilities around campus is proportioned to the number of students from out of town. The emergence of student facilities accommodated by the kampong (villages) around the university can be observed in Kampung Karangasem, Depok, Sleman. This phenomenon led to the concept of Home-Based Enterprises (HBE), which refers to residences transformed into business places. One of the ways to transform a house into HBE is by maximizing the space or land area horizontally without increasing the number of floors. In regard to that, this research aimed to study the horizontal spatial transformation in HBE in Kampung Karangasem. This study used the qualitative deductive approach with case study method. The findings reveal that the transformation of horizontal space involves the extending of space, sharing of space, shifting of space, and squishing of space.

The research model was also carried out by Puspita & Rahmi [14], but discussed more about the form of transformation of residential houses into HBE due to the growth of educational facilities in the vicinity.

“…4 shows the location points of the HBE houses as the case study. [14] house that was established in 2009. It has a 1-story building with a division of space, 14% of the area of the house is used for laundry business.…”

“…According to Marsoyo in 2002 [14], Spatial change is one way of adaptation of the HBE house. Strategies in realizing HBE houses have 3 categories namely, (1) division of space, (2) expansion of space, and (3) change of space.…”
