Cultural Value Transformation in Traditional Market Spatial Planning in City of Denpasar, Gianyar and Klungkung – Bali, Indonesia

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the cultural values that underlie the formation of traditional market spatial patterns. In this research will be studied traditional market spatial pattern, change-morphology, hidden cultural values in the form of the morphology, and the factors that cause change. This research takes place in traditional markets in the city of Denpasar, Gianyar, and Klungkung, Bali Indonesia. This research uses descriptive qualitative method with multi layer mapping technique and interview. The results of this study indicate that the morphology of traditional markets on a city scale is one of the three pillars of palace power: political, economic and cultural. At footprint scale of the traditional market morphology is a transformation of the conception of the spatial value of traditional Balinese space that places the function of the purity zones. From the beginning of the formation of the market there are some morphological changes both on the scale of the city and the scale of the site, especially with regard to the placement of the shrine. The main factors causing the change are political and cultural change. Political factors started in the fall of the castle into the hands of the invaders and the cultural factor is the community's attempt to restore the market zoning to a more appropriate traditional spatial conception.
