Spatial organization concepts for living spaces with two centres

Abstract

In a functional sense, the centre of the living space is a gathering area for its users and for visitors. In most cases, the living area has at least one space towards which its users gravitate daily or occasionally. In situations where there are two or more centres in the living area, their position, size and connection determine the character of the functional organization, and they result from the social needs of the users. This paper analyzes characteristic examples of how dwellings are organized with several gathering centres, drawing out three basic concepts: a) living space with centres grouped in a social zone, b) living space with a flexible centre on the boundary between zones and c) living space with a secondary centre in a private area. On the other hand, attention is drawn to the existence of different boundaries of territoriality (boundaries of ownership, hospitality and intimacy), which determine the domains of social, private and intimate zones in housing. Depending on whether the gathering centres are located on one side, on the other, or along the border of territoriality, the degree of intimacy of the living space also changes.

Significance of territoriality in spatial organization of coliving communities

“…Taking into account the direction of past research, this paper will focus on the aspect of the sense of territoriality, as one of the essential factors affecting the sustainability of the coliving community.

Важно је напоменути да као што постоји индивидуална територијалност, може се говорити и о групној територијалности, што се у coliving простору односи на ниво заједнице као групе корисника простора (Alfirević, Simonović Alfirević, 2019;Kopec, 2010). (Hall, 1966:13;Efran, Cheyne, 1973:203).…”

Reviving Cultural Tourism in Kendran Bali Indonesia: Maintaining Traditional Architecture and Developing Community-based Tourism

“…The owners also built tourist accommodations (⑬) in the teba (Figure 9B) that have transformed the backyard functions into gardens for tourist convenience. The abovementioned transformation of a traditional house in Ubud as an example presents the varied possibility of desires that can be satisfied through a flexible conception of spaces in the houses [42]. Based on Ubud's experiences, the house transformations in Kendran are also possible to become a strategy to accommodate tourist activities in the house and develop tourism products based on community-based tourism development.…”
