Adnya Sarasmita<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Adnya Sarasmita, doctoral candidate from the Built Environment PhD program in the College of Built Environment, recently presented her paper \u201cSpatial theater: A contested informality in an Indonesian urban public space\u201d at the 2018 Biennial Conference of the International Association for the Study of Traditional Environments (IASTE). With the theme of \u201cThe Politics of Tradition,\u201d this year\u2019s conference was held on October 4-7 in Coimbra, Portugal. The paper analyzes a portion of her dissertation fieldwork data, which was collected in Malang, Indonesia, over two periods between the summer of 2017 and the summer of 2018. This fieldwork was partially funded by the Chester Fritz Fellowship for International Research awarded by the Graduate School. At the conference, Adnya\u2019s paper was awarded the IASTE \u2013 Berkeley Prize for Best Paper by a junior scholar.<\/p>\n

Adnya\u2019s research focuses on the study of traditional public spaces in Java. The space, called alun-alun, <\/em>used to indicate the center of a town. In the past, it took form in a large, four \u2013 sided open field, often lined with a few old growth banyan tees, far from the image of a modern, landscaped city square. Nowadays, alun-alun<\/u><\/em> in Javanese cities more closely resemble a modern city park.<\/p>\n

Alun-Alun Kota Malang is one of Adnya\u2019s four case studies, each of which was chosen for its spatial characteristics and its relative centrality to the municipal government\u2019s modernization and formalization agendas. What makes Alun-Alun Kota Malang unique is because it was originally built by the colonial government, not by locals. In her research, Adnya described Alun-Alun Kota Malang in Indonesia as a contested public space, dating back to the Dutch colonial period. For several hundred years, Alun-Alun Kota Malang<\/em> illustrated the separation between government (formal power) and the citizens (informal power).<\/p>\n

Adnya\u2019s study highlights the roles of Alun-Alun Kota Malang as a public space where the marginalized have over time struggled to claim their rights in the city, and in a larger picture, their rights to lead a liberated life.\u00a0 She engaged both vendors and the municipal government in the area to get a better picture on the unique nature of Alun-Alun Kota Malang.<\/p>\n

During her research, Adnya encountered several challenges primarily due to labor pressures for the vendors. Because time was very valuable to them, it was difficult at times to engage in an exploratory conversation. In addition, vendors typically don\u2019t have a routine schedule and move among multiple sites, so Adnya couldn\u2019t always locate them for follow-up questions or to obtain more data.\u00a0 Despite that, gathering information from the municipal government was even more challenging since she had to overcome many bureaucratic hurdles.<\/p>\n

In most parts of the world today, public spaces are becoming more and more regulated, which raises the question of how much autonomy each member of the public still has in these spaces. While it is relatively easier for municipal governments in western societies to sustain a degree of control over their public spaces, it is more complex to do so in developing societies that up until recently were still experiencing structural repression in their public spaces, such as Indonesia. The presence of covert understanding between all the actors, both formal and informal, and room for flexibility set these urban public spaces apart from their western counterparts.\u00a0 Alun-alun<\/em>\u00a0as a form of public space continues to see the emergence of non-prescribed uses today.\u00a0 It is one of the remaining spaces where the have-nots can claim their rights in the city and, in a larger sense, their right to lead a liberated life.<\/p>\n
