Marcus Gartiwa, Dede Siti Rohmah

Abstract


The increase in urban areas is a natural process caused by urban development, especially caused by contemporary demand. On the contrary, there is a local community’s effort, such as Kampung Adat (Indigenous village) to maintain the area as a vernacular kampong. Therefore, there is a need to revitalize the area to make it compliant with vernacular cultural aspects. Revitalization is an upgrading condition in adaptation to contemporary demands. Meanwhile, vernacular wisdom has a local-oriented morphology, respectful to the harmony of socio-culture and the built environment. Kampung Adat Mahmud in Bandung District, West Java, is named after Eyang Mahmud, who was Bandung’s outstanding ulama (preacher). The Kampong has been revitalized in the spirit of Islamic sustainability, which united contemporary development and Islamic heritage preservation. Such revitalization is helpful to be studied. Therefore, the research aims to get a better understanding of how the vernacular community could implement revitalization in the context of Islamic sustainability, which contains functional (Hasan), good (Thoyib), and aesthetic (Jamil) values. The research methodology is qualitative descriptive, based on observation, and analyzed by the development of morphology kampong, neighborhood, and dwelling house. The result is the revitalization of the Kampong, which has been conducted by an approach that harmonizes the natural environment, vernacular character, and contemporary socio-economy activities.
