Implementation of the Yin and Yang concept in the spatial planning of the Sin Tek Bio temple cultural heritage building

Background: The concept of yin and yang is a way of thinking of Chinese people regarding two opposing elements but producing balance. The concept of yin and yang can be implemented in everything in everyday life, one of which is in the architecture of the temple. The Sin Tek Bio Temple is one of the oldest temples in Jakarta which was built in the late 17th century AD and has been designated as a Cultural Heritage Building. This study discusses the implementation of the yin and yang concept in the spatial planning of the Sin Tek Bio Temple building. Methods: This study uses a descriptive analysis method. The archaeological research method according to Sharer and Ashmore is used to answer the research problem. The method begins with the formulation stage, then implementation, data collection, data processing, data analysis, data interpretation, and research publication. The analysis was carried out on the spatial layout of the temple building. Findings: The application of the yin and yang concept is seen in the mapping of the public and private spaces of the temple building, but is not seen in the spatial layout, relationships between spaces, and spatial organization in the temple. Conclusion: The spatial planning of the temple building does not create positive energy (chi). Novelty/Originality of this article: This study involves an archaeological perspective in examining the concept of yin and yang in spatial planning to discover the positive or negative energy (chi) that radiates in a temple building

Social Class Representation in Metropole Cinema: A Historical Analysis of Spatial Dynamics and Social Hierarchies

Background: The Metropole Cinema in Jakarta, inaugurated in 1951, is one of the city’s historic cinemas that reflects social dynamics and class distinctions within society. It serves as a cultural landmark, illustrating the evolution of social hierarchies through its architectural design, seating arrangements, and facilities. By examining the changes in the cinema's spatial organization and management policies, this study aims to understand how social classes are represented and negotiated within this entertainment space. Methods: This study employs a social archaeology approach grounded in Chester & Hunt's social class theory to explore the representation of social classes within Metropole Cinema. A descriptive analysis method is used following the research stages designed by Sharer & Ashmore (2003), including formulation, implementation, data gathering, data processing, data analysis, data interpretation, and publication of results. Findings: The study reveals that Metropole Cinema's architectural layout and seating arrangements from 1951 to the present reflect social class distinctions. Initially, the cinema implemented a class-based seating system where the balcon and loge were exclusive areas for the upper class, while the stalles (first class) and second-class seating catered to the lower class. This spatial division highlights social hierarchies prevalent during its early years. Conclusion: The evolution of Metropole Cinema from an exclusive to an inclusive space illustrates the transformation of social class structures within Jakarta’s society. The architectural changes and management policies reflect broader social changes, highlighting the role of entertainment spaces in negotiating social identities. The study demonstrates how public spaces, like cinemas, can both reinforce and reshape social hierarchies. Novelty: This research offers a comprehensive historical analysis of Metropole Cinema, connecting architectural changes with social dynamics, and highlighting the impact of management decisions on social inclusivity

Konsep “kampung pinisi-nusantara” sebagai upaya pengembangan ¬ethno-maritime tourism Sulawesi Selatan-IKN yang inklusif dan terkoneksi

Based on Law Number 3 of 2022 concerning the National Capital City, the new National Capital City (NCC) area was designated on January 18, 2022, named Nusantara. The relocation of the National Capital aims to distribute development to the Eastern part of Indonesia and establish Indonesia as a smart, green, and beautiful city center. Bulukumba Regency in South Sulawesi has unique maritime tourism potential, with its natural beauty and the tradition of building Pinisi ships being particularly attractive. By developing tourism based on local wisdom values in Bulukumba, it can support the goal of relocating the National Capital. This paper is prepared as an alternative recommendation in efforts to connect the NCC with South Sulawesi in terms of development and development. Literature study and SWOT analysis methods are applied to generate a concept that is not only theoretical but also practically implementable. So far, research on existing recommendations for maritime tourism concepts has been partial and not interconnected between different regions. Based on this, the author proposes the concept of "Kampung Pinisi-Nusantara" as an effort to develop inclusive and interconnected ethno-maritime tourism between the NCC and South Sulawesi
