Punk in Indonesia has often been described as a spectacular performance of disorder and resistance, a youthful style that posed a disruptive challenge to the authoritarian hierarchy and discipline of the New Order regime. The punk scene in Bandung has developed in the context of what is often referred to as 'post-authoritarian' Indonesia. Punk gives another historical narrative of the development of urban communities, and, while remaining a minority, is highly visible among urban Indonesian youth lifestyles. This article describes the history of punk's growth and development in Bandung, traced through its relationship to space and place, and through the variety of artefacts it produces such as zines, cassettes and posters. This production and consumption is informed by punk's traditional DIY ethos, and forms the basis for transnational cultural and political relationships. introduction Bandung is the capital of the West Java Province and is located about 140km from the country's capital, Jakarta. As Martin-Iverson argues, Bandung's 'historical orientation to global modernity and cosmopolitan culture is an important aspect' of the city's colonial legacy (2014: 534). As a postcolonial city, Bandung must be considered both in terms of local histories of urbanism and as part of larger, global processes (Kusno 2000). Featherstone (1991) views postmodern cities as centres of cultural consumption rather than industrial production, but in the case of Bandung these roles are tightly connected.

Car Free Day telah menjadi arena kontestasi produksi-konsumsi sekaligus transformasi ruang sosial-kultural kontemporer baru dalam pembentukan agensi komposit (publik) perkotaan di kota Bandung, Jawa Barat. Agensi inilah yang ikut membentuk identitas baru dalam citra landmark kota. Wujud kota mengkonsentrasikan keberadaan infrastruktur dengan merasionalisasikan waktu dan aktivitas warganya. Melalui cara mengatur aktivitas (ke)warga(an) kota ditujukan untuk menjadi pusat aktivitas sosial serta (a)kulturasi dalam pembentukan citra. Lebih lanjut, pengaturan semacam itu menujukkan adanya eksistensi kota, peranan kota sebagai sumber pengetahuan, distribusi informasi dan persebaran tata-nilai ( yang secara moral dilakukan oleh penyelenggara otoritas kota) dengan upaya penciptaan ruang publik. Artikel ini berupaya memahami rangkaian pengetahuan spatialsosial-kultural. Pengetahuan itu ter(di)susun melalui suatu periode waktudalam proses mengalami dan membentuk infrastruktur yang diproduksi Car Free Day sebagai sebuah taktik dan strategi urbanisme di Bandung. Memenuhi tantangan ini termasuk mempelajari infrastruktur, melihat paradoks fisik dan sosio-kulturalnya sebagai narasi lansekap antara transparan dan buram dalam sebuah formasi ruang (ketiga). Kajian ini juga bertujuan mencari konstruksi dan pemeliharaan melalui praktek sehari-hari dalam konteks (visual) etnografi tertentu.

This article explores the history of Bandung, in particular the Dago street area, as a history of place. It looks into how Bandung include Dago has been defined, its etymology and the way in which the people that inhabit the place use and place meaning to these urban spaces. The article argues that civic meaning is rooted in the historic creation of place. It also looks into civic design and civic reform going through different governmentality from the colonial up into the present period to see how much the meaning of place is both historical but also politic and strategic to the present needs of the people that inhabit it.

As various cities around the world are implementing car-free policies, the need to understand it from a dynamic point of view becomes more pronounced. In effect, by invoking the organic nature of urbanism, a complexity involving the growth of cities in relation to their environment and human society emerges. Seeking to contribute to an understanding of the production processes of space in the contemporary street, the discussion of the planning future of cities, and perspectives on urban transformation, this chapter aims to build an understanding of the production of spaces for public life in Indonesian cities from the perspective of planning, production, and culture in car-free (day) movement in Bandung. This chapter contributes to the process of spatial production in car-free (day) and implies a reflective paradigm of practice and its potential to illustrate in planning the street transformation-productions of public spaces within the current process of globalization in car-free scheme.
