Considerations on Typology of Kampung House and Betawi House of KAMPUNG LUAR BATANG (JAKARTA)

抄録

Kampung Luar Batang is located in the northern end of Jakarta, which belongs to former Sunda Kelapa, the oldest area of Jakarta, about 100 meters northwest of Kota (Batavia). The oldest mosque, Al-Aydrus Masjid built in 1739 is located within it; attracts pilgrims from Jakarta and suburbs; and is a declared cultural heritage under the Governor′s Decree No. 475/1993. The area became overcrowded after the independence, thus deteriorating the environmental conditions. Although modern buildings dominate Kampung Luar Batang, traditional houses or houses with traditional architectural characteristics still remained there. Improvement of living conditions and preservation of historical features have become important issues. This paper discusses the characteristics of traditional kampung house, which is required to be preserved, identifying the status and condition of Kampung Luar Batang, based on the field survey.
