Abstract:
Socio-spatial transformation of urban architecture is a process that changes
the elements of urban architecture and its formers. Development in coastal areas always
impacts local communities on the coast. Sometimes they experience a process of change
that requires them to adapt and even integrate situationally. This study aims to describe
the socio-spatial transformation reality of contemporary urban architectural elements
through a phased dynamic from the perspective of local communities in urban coastal
areas. The method is conducted by qualitative research method. This is a single Case Study
for identifies a specific case used to study real-life cases of the initiation of adaptation
and integration of local communities. Data were obtained through participant observation,
documentation and inductive in-depth interviews and focus group discussions that focused
on descriptive theme analysis to understand the process of socio-spatial transformation
of urban architectural elements in urban coastal local communities. The result of this
study is a cycle of socio-spatial transformation of urban architectural elements is formed,
consisting of (1) the natural, normal phase; (2) the adaptation initiation phase; and 3) the
integration phase
