Dwelling Transformations as Residents’ Creative Efforts in Response to Tourism Development in Pantai Kartini, Indonesia

This article aims to describe the dwelling transformations as residents’ creative efforts in response to tourism development in Pantai Kartini, as part of tourism impact on the residential buildings. This study takes two zones as a study location, namely, zone A (the dwellings which are close to Pantai Kartini) and zone B (the dwellings which are a bit far (± 500 m) from the Pantai Kartini tourist area). The dwelling transformation includes the change of dwelling function in the tourist facility, the change of dwelling material from semipermanent to permanent, and the change of the vernacular architectural style into a modern architectural style. The result shows that the connection and ease of access between the dwelling and tourist area have supported various creativities in zone A.
