Abstract

The availability of sports facilities and the number of residents in Malang shows a lack of balance in proportion. The government of Malang city has made some attempts to collaborate with any parties to allocate the proportional sports facilities for the residents. To deal with the problem, the government has designed a program called Ijen Car Free Day (ICFD) as one alternative of solutions. The Ijen Street, which mostly functions as the main street, has also served as a sport center. The present study aims at investigating the utilization of roads of Ijen Street as one of sports centers. The analysis is carried out to re-observe the use of public space that has experienced some transformations. The data collected are examined thoroughly by implementing the research method of descriptive qualitative. The result of the study indicates that the Ijen Street is a sterile road section of motor vehicles at 06:00 up to 10:00, and during the time, the road is used for some sports activities. The so-called elite region of Malang city has transformed into courts for morning gymnastics and jogging tracks along the way. In addition, the area is also used as a social, economic, and cultural spaces. The visitors of Ijen CFD often takes the chance to sell some products, join some communities, and perform some shows of art and culture. The comprehension of the models of space use is necessary to optimize the management of Ijen CFD in the future.
