Abstract

Tuban City is well-known as the place of great Islamic scholars (Bumi Wali) and is visited by pilgrims from all over the country. Visitors to the tomb of Sunan Bonang come relentlessly in large numbers throughout the day. The city center where the tomb is located becomes the focal point of the city life and its economy. This paper shows how numerous people going back and forth and in and out to the tomb area have generated an attractive place characterized by strong socio-cultural traits. The study scrutinized the pattern of people’s movement with the space syntax method. The global movement and local movement of various points in the tomb area and other functions in its surroundings were identified and measured. The analyses were carried out for visitors and pilgrims’ traditions and characteristics in recognizing spatial value, form, and socio-cultural values involved in their movements and behavior in space. Finally, the paper will indicate the interplay of socio-cultural factors, belief systems, and touristic activities in the creative process of placemaking.
