The Relationship Between Socio-Cultural Aspects and the Physical Setting of Muncar Coastal Settlement

Abstract

Muncar has been developed into a core Minneapolitan area since 2012. The development of the Minneapolitan area can affect the socio-cultural aspects of the fishing community which then affects the physical setting of the coastal settlement, which is actually part of the ekistics elements of the settlement. This research aims to examine the relationship of the socio-cultural aspects of the Muncar fishing community especially in Sampangan Hamlet to the condition of its physical setting which is associated with ekistics elements in the form of networks and buildings. The method used in the research is descriptive-qualitative with spatial analysis and community field studies related to the influence of local socio-culture on the physical setting. Based on the research results, it is known that socio-cultural aspects affect settlement patterns, building orientation directions, landform changes, space utilization, gender-based activity spaces and the formation of cultural spaces in the reclamation area.

Coastal Settlements and Javanese Vernacular Art: A Historical and Cultural Analysis of Damar Kurung Gresik in Indonesia

“…Several studies focus on art objects in coastal settlements of Central Java: ornamental designs in Javanese coastal mosques (Robson, 1981), colorful coastal batik (Idham, 2018), Buraq puppet from coastal Brebes, Central Java (Triyanto et al, 2016), and art education (Setyobudi, 2018). One study discusses coastal settlements in Banyuwangi, East Java, and one study in Bandung, West Java (Cayarini, Nugroho & Asikin, 2023;Heriyawati & Wita, 2022). All of these studies have shown consistent evidence that coastal settlements have had a strong influence on the shaping and development of Javanese vernacular art.…”

“…In terms of coastal settlements, there are several research that discuss their connection with the creation of art and culture. Cayarini, Nugroho & Asikin (2023) have said that settlement patterns, building orientation directions, landform changes, gender-based space utilization, and cultural spaces in coastal settlements are influenced by socio-cultural aspects. Similarly, Setyobudi (2018) has stated that Javanese cultural characteristics in coastal settlements are oriented towards Islamic values that can be utilized for student character building through art education for elementary to junior high school students.…”
