“…Separation of the two areas is an adjustment to the situation and state of the cultural space created by forming different spatial and rules. It is stated that these rules are an adaptation of society to the environment that makes it a cultural process (Gerasimenko, 2020). It is reflected in the people of Dukuh Village, namely creating spatial space with traditional leaders as village leaders responsible for their territory.…”

Community adaptation is a way for a community or a community group to agree on its cultural space so that people's lives run harmoniously and prosperously. Adaptation is interrelated with how people respond to their environment, customs, and various external influences. This is also the case with the people of Dukuh Traditional Village, in Indonesia. This village is close to the forest. In addition, customs with religious rituals make the Dukuh Traditional Village an attraction. As a result, this influences the environment and the social life of the people of Dukuh Village. As an adaptation effort, the village divides its territory into Dukuh Tonggoh (Upper) and Dukuh Landeuh (Bottom). They separate it into sacred and profane areas. This study sought to scrutinize the adaptation strategy of the community to create its cultural space while preserving Nature and customs and improving the community's economy.This study used a descriptive qualitative methodology with ethnographic approaches, with the researchers as the key instruments. The primary data were obtained via observations and interviews. Meanwhile, data analysis was carried out by identifying rules, customs, and factual conditions that have and have not changed.The findings reveal that the adaptation of the Dukuh Village community is done by creating 'inside' and 'outside' cultural spaces. A cultural construction is done by maintaining customs in the sacred area (the inside) while still allowing the profane area (the outside) to adjust to the development of science and technology.

“…Gerasimenko on the Orenburg-Kazakhstan border, the convergence of cultures often becomes a geographical reality over time, despite the fact that representatives of different ethnic groups initially develop different ecological niches. However, adaptation to landscape allows the gradual convergence of different ethnocultural groups; regional ethnic contacts are intensifying, and this favors the formation of stable spatial ties and, as a result, the formation of a common regional identity, despite persisting ethnocultural differences (Gerasimenko, 2018(Gerasimenko, , 2020.…”

Abstract— The article reviews and analyzes trends in the development of Russian cultural geography at the beginning of the 21st century, its specific features, and the latest scientific achievements with respect to the evolution of cultural geography in Western countries. Similarities and differences in the transformation of the main theoretical approaches, scientific methods, and subject areas of specific cultural and geographical studies in foreign countries and Russia are revealed. The most important thematic sections of the article cover the most significant segments of cultural and geographical research in Russia in the 2000s–early 2020s. It is shown that the main focus in the formation of Russian cultural geography (after several decades of neglecting anthropocultural approaches in the Soviet period) was cultural landscape science. The latest advances of Russian cultural geographers in the field of cultural landscape for the first decades of the 21st century are characterized. Domestic ethnic geography, which developed during the Soviet period as part of population geography, is gradually transforming to ethnocultural. Much attention is paid to the correlation of ethnic and regional identity in polyethnic regions, ethnocultural aspects of the geography of nature management, cultural geography of the indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia, and the Far East. Religious geography is a new direction of cultural geography for Russia, which has gained great relevance in the post-Soviet period in the revival of religious life in a country characterized by exceptional complexity and the diverse religious composition of the population. The article discusses and analyzes the experience of Russian developments in humanitarian geography—a set of research areas focused on studying systems of ideas about the geographic space in different sociocultural contexts. The great practical significance of cultural and geographical research and the possibility of their use for regional development and optimization of the spatial organization of society are emphasized.
