Abstract

This article criticizes spatial law about the availability of cemeteries in Surabaya, Indonesia. The analysis in this article uses the concept of social space production by Henri Lefebvre. This article reviews how the paradigm of spatial law in Indonesia impacts on spatial regulation and the availability of cemetery in Surabaya and criticizes it from the perspective of the social space production. The development of regulations in Indonesia shows the slow response of the government in anticipating limited space for the availability of cemeteries. Spatial law reduces the meaning of cemeteries as lived spaces in the Indonesian context by categorizing them as green open spaces. The cemetery as a green open space, if it refers to Indonesian spatial regulation, wants to be developed not in a spiritual and economic sense but ecologically. Though the cemetery in the Indonesian context and the perspective of social space production is a lived space that cannot be reduced as green open space by technocracy. Life experiences that produce space also need to be examined when interpreting cemeteries and placing them in space planning.
