Abstract

Kasongan is known as the pottery village in Yogyakarta - believed to have a history of more than 3 centuries - has a uniqueness where craftsmen live and produce in the same location. The pressure of Yogyakarta^s urban agglomeration and globalization after the 1970s made this village rapidly transform from a craft village to a tourist village and then a tourism industry village. Economic and social changes towards the global market are indicated by changes in the typology of buildings and landscape of Kasongan. While on the other hand, Kasongan^s identity as an area that has historical potential in the pottery industry in Yogyakarta is still needed as significant capital for the principle of sustainable village development. This article aims to find the spatial types that have remained, changed and lost in Kasongan in the last 50 years. The locus is Dukuh Kasongan as the starting point for regional development and parts of Dukuh Kajen and Dukuh Sentanan which are currently growing more rapidly. The research uses the typology and morphology of the building and landscape to find spatial patterns and types: (1) patterns and types of spaces that persist as local identities, (2) patterns and types of spaces that change due to the context of the tourism industry and (3) patterns and types of spaces that are lost due to the context of the tourism industry. The first point is believed to be a potential local identity that can be developed in the context of a sustainable tourism industry village.
