Considerations on Space Formation and Transformation of KAMPUNG LUAR BATANG (JAKARTA)

Abstract

Kampung Luar Batang today is located at the northern end of Jakarta, which belongs to former Sunda Kelapa, the oldest area of Jakarta, about 100 meters to northwest of Kota (Batavia). The oldest mosque, Al-Aydrus Masjid, which was built in 1739, is located in Kampung Luar Batang and attracts pilgrims from other areas of Jakarta city, and had been declared as one of cultural heritages by the issuance of Governor Decree No. 475/1993. However, the area suffered a huge influx of population especially after independent, because of which its living environmental condition has deteriorated. Although modern buildings dominate in Kampung Luar Batang, traditional houses or houses with features of traditional architecture still exist in the kampung. How to improve the living condition and preserve the historical features of the built environment are important and urgent questions. This paper, based on the field survey, clarifies the formation and transformation process of Kampung Luar Batang and discusses the problems for the future improvement.
