    Ruang-Space is a new journal dedicated to the understanding of space and the built environment. It has been created to fill a major gap in academic publishing in Indonesia, where the physical built environment remains somewhat detached from its counterparts in social science and urban politics. To this extent Ruang-Space focuses on development in general, encouraging lateral thinking as a dominant characteristic of post-modern thought and the politics of globalisation. The intention is to address the built environment as a whole, and to dispense with the barriers and silos that define professional thinking. So the subject matter of the journal will focus on major issues emerging from the development of human settlements in the third millennium. These will of necessity include the disciplines of architecture, planning, landscape architecture and urban design, as well as interpretations of the built environment emerging from urban geography, sociology and political science. In order to support our global vision, we encourage articles and reviews from around the world. In greater detail, we welcome submissions dealing with sustainability, urban form, the urban landscape, design control, community organisation, ethnic architecture, housing for the poor, urban politics and policy, and the design of cities. But in addition to our overall intention to broaden the analysis of settlement form and structure in Indonesia and abroad, we wish to push forward the barriers on significant theory, either in its application or in the discovery of new facts and forms of analysis. In so doing we accept that in the increasingly globalising world of postmodernity, cross disciplinarity is becoming the rule rather than the exception, and that thinking ‘outside the box’ is now a necessary characteristic of this process. Hence submissions which further these ideas will be encouraged in the peer-refereeing process that we will pursue. Under the umbrella of Ruang-Space, we hope to generate a dynamic and interesting vision of the built environment that stands in contrast to journals whose subject matter is contained within a narrow vision of architecture and planning as constraining determinants of social space. While it is our intention to make space available on a continuing basis to a diversity of submissions, as is now the norm we intend to publish occasional ‘themed’ issues that cover particular subjects in significant depth, for example in kampung development, space in traditional societies, the impact of globalisation on local cultures and development control. Additionally, since this journal is being produced by the Masters Program in Architecture at Udayana University in Bali, it is also our intention to use it as a forum for the diversity of problems that now inundate Balinese society, specifically those that affect development and culture as a whole. In the forefront of this debate lies the nemesis of tourism. Its impacts are ubiquitous and variously interpreted on the one hand as destructive of environment and culture yet on the other as a making a massive contribution to the local economy. While Bali’s problems are not original, the island paradise offers a singular laboratory where the conflicts brought by tourism can be studied in significant depth. It is also our intention to generalise our content, not only in subject matter but also in the form in which it is presented. In future issues we will also welcome three other types of submission. First, book reviews (up to 1000 words). Second, viewpoints which provide a new insight or critique of a theory, method, subject matter etc that the author feels is being ignored or is otherwise misinterpreted (1000-2000 words). Third, review articles which not only review a particular book, but cover its history, influences, similar texts and a theoretical critique of content (approx 2-3000 words). We also take this opportunity to welcome our editorial board members, whom we gratefully thank for their participation. We hope that with your support, this journal will achieve its mission to be a medium for communication for new thoughts and study findings in the area of the built environment. Our editorial board includes experts in a variety of fields dealing with the built environment, individuals who have attained great respect in their diverse disciplines, including architecture, urban planning, urban design, political economy, sociology, sustainability, anthropology and history. This first Volume and first issue is opened by Professor Cuthbert who is a distinguished Visiting Professor at our University (Guru Besar Tamu), whose work has had international acclaim in the area of urban design. His article personifies many of the above qualities by offering a new theoretical framework for urban design from within the realm of social theory that he suggests can replace aesthetic and ‘cultural’ interpretations of architecture. This is followed by the second article written by Ni Made Dhina Avianthi Irawan, a civil servant of Ministry of Public Works, Department of Building and Environment in Bali. Dhina discusses the development of Blahkiuh image based on observers experiences and perception. Blahkiuh is classified as a city of class IV status in Bali. The third paper is authored by Ni Made Emmi Nutrisia Dewi, an academic of the Design Institute of Bali. Emmi’s article studies the use of communal spaces of Pedungan Village (Denpasar), and the changes and factors behind them. The fourth article is written by I Made Wirata, a professional architect, and Ngakan Putu Sueca (Professor in the Department of Architecture, Udayana University). It discusses concepts behind the Sasak houses of Segenter Village, North of Lombok. The uniqueness of these settlements is the layout of spaces that relies heavily on the placement of doors and the bale sakanem (building with six structural columns). The fifth article is authored by Dinar Sukma Pramesti, a professional architect. Dinar studies the stilt houses of Loloan community, Jembrana, Bali. She underlines that the form of stilt houses has changed over time in line with various elements including socio-cultural aspects, economic factors, building age, land availability, and occupants' preferences. The sixth article is written by I Nengah Riana, Widiastuti, and Ida Bagus Gde Primayatna, academic staff from the Department of Civil Engineering, National University (Bali) and the Department of Architecture, Udayana University. It examines the conversion of green open spaces, a major problem in Denpasar. The seventh paper is authored by Gusti Ayu Made Suartika. It examines the relevance of multi storey housing in fulfilling the need for affordable houses by low income urban dwellers in Indonesia. Finally, a big thank you to all our contributors, editorial board, production team and publishing staff who have worked faithfully to bring the journal RUANG- SPACE into being

    Bali merupakan salah satu pulau terbesar yang ada di Indonesia yang didalamnya terdapat banyak sekali warisan-warisan berupa kebudaya, ritual, tradisi yang masih dijalankan dan dilestarikan oleh penduduk Bali. Keberadaan warisan-warisan ini memberikan sebuah gambaran secara luas bahwa pentingnya pengenalan terhadap warisan tersebut kepada generasi selanjutnya dengan tujuan agar warisan yang telah dibangun tidak punah. Pengenalan akan warisan-warisan tersebut tidak hanya dipelajari oleh orang tua saja tetapi warisan juga tampaknya telah diajarkan kepada anak-anak muda serta generasi sekarang. Salah satu warisan yang masih dijalankan oleh masyarakat Bali sampai saat ini adalah tradisi upacara kematian, dalam masyarakat Bali Aga Upakara Lampus atau upacara kematian merupakan salah satu tradisi yang tidak dapat dilakukan oleh sembarang orang karena Upakara Lampus adalah sebuah tradisi yang sangat sakral yang didalamnya terdapat aturan serta adat istiadat yang telah ada sejak dahulu kala. Oleh karena itu, melalui tulisan ini penulis ingin menjelaskan bahwa walaupun perkembangan zaman mulai berkembangan keberadaan tradisi pada hakikatnya tidak dapat dipisahkan dalam kehidupan manusia, hal tersebut tampak melalui pengenalan secara dini kepada generasi muda tentang keberadaan tradisi ditengah-tengah masyarakat. Adapun metode penelitian yang digunakan oleh penulis dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif yang didalamnya menggambarkan dan mejelaskan peristiwa serta fenomena sosial yang terjadi dalam sebuah masyarakat, metode yang digunakan yaitu observasi, wawancara serta dokumentasi. Penulis melihat dalam penelitian ini ada tiga hasil yang didapatkan dalam penelitian ini yang pertama, gambaran umum masyarakat Tigawasa, kedua, Proses tradisi Upakara lampus, dan ketiga, nilai-nilai yang terkandung dalam tradisi Upakara Lampus.Bali is one of the largest islands in Indonesia where there are many heritages in the form of culture, rituals, traditions that are still carried out and preserved by the Balinese people. The existence of these heritages provides a broad picture that the importance of recognizing this heritage to the next generation with the aim that the heritage that has been built does not become extinct. The introduction of these heritages is not only learned by the elderly but the heritage also seems to have been taught to young children and the current generation. One of the heritages that is still carried out by the Balinese people today is the tradition of death ceremonies, in the Balinese Aga Upakara Lampus or death ceremony is one of the traditions that cannot be carried out by just anyone because Upakara Lampus is a very sacred tradition in which there are rules and customs that have existed since time immemorial. Therefore, through this paper the author wants to explain that even though the times have begun to develop the existence of tradition is essentially inseparable in human life, this can be seen through early introduction to the younger generation about the existence of tradition in the midst of society. The research method used by the author in this research is descriptive qualitative in which it describes and explains social events and phenomena that occur in a society, the methods used are observation, interviews and documentation. The author sees in this study that there are three results obtained in this study, first, an overview of the Tigawasa community, second, the Upakara lampus tradition process, and third, the values contained in the Upakara Lampus tradition

    No full text
    This article aims to identify the diction (word choice) of fictional and scientific terms created by the author in the science fiction novel The Chosen One. This novel constitutes one of the seven novels (Heptalogy of the Gamers of Galaxians) composed in serial form. The writer can create new words (neology) in the science fiction genre. According to Dejika's theory, language can keep developing through creating works in the science fiction genre. Based on the diction used by the author, the depiction of the spatial aspect of the colonial discourses can be observed. The method used in this study is the descriptive-analytic method. The result of this study shows the findings of word choice commonly used in various fields of science, such as biology, chemistry, physics, and anthropology. The author fails to build science fiction discourse because no new concepts are created in his novel. The discourse of Western Ideology remains to be present without any significant resistance. This happens because the author prioritizes Western discourse as a solution, namely the discourse represented through the past established in high sophistication

    Enhancing Civil Servant Competency through Structural Position Equalization at the National Unity and Politics Department of Pasangkayu Regency, West Sulawesi Province

    No full text
    The current bureaucratic restructuring policy eliminates the Echelon III, IV, and V positions. The Ministry of State Officials Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (Kemenpan&RB) issued Circular Letter (SE) of the Minister of PAN and RB Number 393 of 2019, outlining Strategic and Concrete Steps to Simplify the Bureaucracy. Consequently, civil servants underwent competency adjustments following the transition from structural to functional positions at the National Unity and Politics Service in Pasangkayu Regency, West Sulawesi Province. These reforms, initiated in response to Indonesia's recent crises, have significantly bolstered the foundational aspects of democratic life in the country. To evaluate the competencies of civil servants post-transition, the author employed Gordon's (1988) competency theory, which encompasses dimensions such as knowledge, understanding, values, abilities, attitudes, and interests. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method to conduct evaluations, facilitating an in-depth analysis of the competencies of employees affected by the structural-to-functional position equalization at the National Unity and Politics Service in Pasangkayu Regency, West Sulawesi Province. Overall, the competencies of civil servants in the National Unity and Politics Department of Pasangkayu Regency have not yet reached optimal levels. Challenges such as inadequate budgetary support for competency development and insufficient readiness among civil servants following the equalization of positions continue to hinder efforts to enhance employee competency at the National Unity and Politics Service
