Abstract

Thematic kampong is one of the government's efforts to overcome the problem of settlements aimed at improving the quality of the environment through the area arrangement and development based on the unique and dynamic local potency. Currently, Malang has about 78 thematic kampongs and one of them is The Go Green Glintung (3G) Thematic Kampong, whose development is based on reforestation. The emergence of various Malang’s thematic kampongs regardless of the local uniqueness values is the main problem of this research. So, the purpose of this research is analyzed the implementation of Genius Loci concept to the 3G Thematic Kampong as a design guideline in the development of The 3G Thematic Village which is one of the potential tourist destinations in Malang. The concept of Genius Loci means the authentic of a certain locality that forms the spirit of place where the spirit makes the place "alive". In interpreting the spirit of a place, the user space experience towards environment is the measuring tools in this study. Therefore, this research is using qualitative descriptive method with phenomenology approached. The result of this research shows that Genius Loci in The 3G Thematic Village is located in its green spaces that formed through cultural elements. Their community lifestyle and customs through community collaboration and awareness of improving environmental conditions have been succeeded in shaping the authenticity of locality in its man-made place development as a form of community understanding to nature.
