Abstract

This study examines familiar events as key elements shaping social space in Kampung Pecinan Tambak Bayan. Drawing on neuroarchitectural discourse, the concept of familiar events is used to explain how everyday spatial practices contribute to the formation of collective memory. The presence of familiar events in an urban kampung can be understood as a form of actualization of citizens’ rights to space. Employing a qualitative research approach, the data of this study were collected through observation and in-depth interviews. Findings indicate that kampung spaces are predominantly used based on their use value rather than exchange value, promoting both social and cultural interactions. These practices demonstrate the community’s efforts to maintain spatial awareness and amid urbanization pressures while generating alternative socio-cultural centers rooted in everyday life. Within this context, Tha Yang serves as the cultural and spatial core, preserving collective memory through its historical significance and ongoing communal functions. The adaptive use of constrained spaces, particularly alleys and Tha Yang, highlights how the identity of Kampung Pecinan Tambak Bayan is continuously shaped and sustained through the interplay of social practices, spatial configurations, and cultural heritage.
