Abstract

Cities in different parts of the world compete into an advanced city. The changes occur everywhere and change the city space as tangible and intangible. This phenomenon also occurs in Balige. Globalization has encouraged capitalists to bring modernity to the various corners of the Balige. The local spaces with the use value of living are appealing with modernity, causing the Balige city space to be dominated by abstract space with an exchanged value. However, the contradiction of the space did not succeed in affecting the intention of the Onan in Balige. This article aims to describe how the issue of space caused by the conflict between community life and capitalist in Balige can be completed. Using Lefebvre theory qualitative research, including literary studies, spatial observation, repeated interviews and documentation activities, the study find that a space where community diversity, the local way of life and the modernity carried by capitalists is mingled at the time of the Onan Balige. The transformation of space that occurs over time does not alter the existence of the Onan. The social, cultural, religious, political and economic values of the community are embraced by the establishment and sustainability of the space. Onan has become a space for local community struggle that is firmly attached to the community’s memory until today.
