Cosmological Value in the Spatial Setting of Kampung Naga

Abstract

Kampung Naga has an extraordinary appeal, from the built of the house, the rituals that are still being carried out, as well as the natural scenery, until finally the tourism development is carried out by the government, which is not based on community local customs, thus, resulting in a shift in the function of traditional places. However, the community still has an effort to maintain the inherited traditions of their ancestors. This tradition is manifested in various forms, from norms, rituals, to village arrangements. The spatial setting of Kampung Naga is not only influenced by tradition, but also by cosmological value. Therefore, the researcher wants to look for cosmological values contained in the spatial setting of Kampung Naga. The research method is descriptive-explanatory with the analytical method used is descriptive analysis, behavior mapping analysis, and overlay analysis. Research variables are cosmological beliefs, traditions, ecological elements, and spatial elements. The results of this study note that: 1) orientation is influenced by the order of the universe, the philosophy of tri tangtu dina buana, physical nature, and traditional belief. 2) the layout is influenced by the concept of Sundanese settlements (kaca-kaca and lemah-cai), tri tangtu (structure of the universe). 3) space hierarchy is influenced by the concepts of luhur-handap and tri tangtu (structure of the universe).
