Housing spatial transformation as a translation of community resilience in Kampung Cungkeng, Bandar Lampung City

Abstract

Housing transformation is a dynamic adaptation process to individual and environmental changes or threats. It could be changed in residential elements up to the settlement scale and urban. Housing transformation is one of the translation resilience forms. Kampung (urban village) Cungkeng, Teluk Betung, is one of the Bugis-Makassar settlement tribes on the coast of Bandar Lampung City. This research aims to identify spatial transformation and the determinant of the transformation process as community resilience translation in Kampung Cungkeng. The study used the qualitative descriptive approach. The data collection process was carried out by interviewing the owners of Bugis-Makassar housing and field observation. The results showed that community resilience translated to community adaptation by transforming the house gradually. The spatial transformation of the dwelling can be observed both vertically and horizontally, particularly in the land house. Transformation is only identified horizontally in homes on the water. The spatial transformation followed is conversion, addition/removal, extension/subtraction, demolition/construction of partition, interior arrangement, and layout zoning changes. The determinant causing residential transformation are financial support, space requirements, and space inefficiency. On the other hand, losing the stilt house with an underneath space in land houses indicates the faded community resilience regarding the tidal flood.
